retained David E. Scoll as counsel
to opose any increases.
Governor Ernest Gru e n i n g
hailed the outcome as an import
ant victory for the Alaska public
and shippers. He declared this
result could never have been
achieved unless the Development
Board had entered the case ener- *
getically and stated “The decision
is the first in history in favor of
the people of Alaska in a case of
this kind.”

give him a good start in his new
job.
He is one of the first military
men in recent history to be secre
tary of state. But for 13 months,
since his resignation as chief of
staff, he has been President Tru
man’s special diplomat in war
torn China.
The Senate unanimously con
firmed today President Truman’s
nomination of Gen. George C.
Marshall to succeed James F.
Byrnes as secretary of state.
The speedy action came in a Re
publican-directed move to demon
strate foreign policy unity. After
Byrnes’ resignation because of his
health.
The Senate acted within 55 min
utes after the nomination of the
wartime army chief of staff was
sent to Capitol Hill by the Presi
dent, who accepted Byrnes resig
nation last night with regret.
Previously, in a 12 minutes ses
| sion arranged by chairman Van
I denberg <R.-Mich.> the 13-member.
! foreign relations committee had
i placed its indorsement on Mar
i shall as the man to carry forward
i
! the policies laid down by Byrnes
■ in American dealings with foreign
| nations.
Vandenberg stepped down from
the presiding officer’s chair of the
! Senate to urge speedy disposition
| of the nomination, a move that
j would demonstrate unity to the
j world and that the United States
I has “a continuing and effective
j foreign policy.”

The resignation of James F.
Byrnes as United States Secretary
of State was received in world
I capitals today with sharp sur
prise. and expressions of regret
were mingled with overtones of
bewilderment.
t
A chorus of approval for the ap
j pointment of Gen. George C. Mar
shall as Byrnes’ successor extend
ed to tuRh-anssieu-v
ed to the Russian-controlled press
in Berlin, but foreign offices
buzzed with speculation over the
possible effects of the dramatic
change upon America’s foreign
policy.
Among United Nations repre
sentatives at Lake Success, N. Y.,
attention centered on the fact that
Byrnes’ resignation followed so
closely that of Bernard M. Baruch
as U. S. member of the U. N.
atomic commision. But there were
no immediate indications that the
American delegation would seek
any postponement of the disarma
ment discussion scheduled for the
security council agenda tomorrow.
Official London received the se
lection of Gen. Marshall with ap
proval. But the press, which
treated the announcement as top
news, generally regretted Byrnes’
retirement. The influential Times
praised Byrnes’ skill and tenacity,
hailed him for securing bi-partisan
American support, and said “The
successes achieved at the end of
the year . . . owe much to him.”
The Communist Daily Worker
speculated that Byrnes was “re
garded as an old Roosevelt man,"
and expressed belief he had been
ousted by President Truman.
