FTC Appointment j
Called Political
WASHINGTON, (/P)—Senators !
Byrd and Robertson today op
pose the nomination of Martin A.
Hutchinson of Virginia to be a
member of the Federal Trade
Commission. They contend Hutch
inson is not qualified and that his
appointment by president Tru
man was political.
The two Virginia Democratic
senators said in a lengthy letter
to the Senate Commerce Commit
tee that they feel Hutchinson
“lacks judicial temperament and
exhibits a blind support of pub
lic policies merely because such
are advocated by certain party
leaders.”
Byrd and Robertson expressed j
opinion that “Mr. Hutchinson’s !
nomination is political and made
for a definite and obvious politic
al purpose.” I
45 LOST IN PERSIAN GULF
CRASH OF C-54
PARIS, (/P)— French officials
said today a typhoon may have
caused the crash of an Air France
C-54 Skyinaster in the Persian
Gulf Monday night with a loss of
45 lives.
Air France offices here said
eight of the bodies had been re-*
covered. Many of the remaining
37 bodies probably will be found
in the fuselage of the plane after
salvage operations, the officials
said.
One of the six persons saved,
pilot Jean Sladek, was too critic
ally injured to be questioned
about the cause of the accident,
but the officials said they had re
ceived word that a typhoon was
blowing in the area of the crash
north of Bahrein island, at the
time. The crash occurred only
three miles from the airport after
the pilot had been given landing
instructions.
