For Holding Up Action
On Some Nominations
WASHINGTON, (P)--President
Eisenhower gave the Democrats
a mild chewing Tuesday for hold-
ing up action on some of his nom-
inations.
Eisenhower told a news confer-
ence he doesn't think it serves the
country's interests to defer con-
firmation of key appointees when
there is no real or deep contro-
versy over them.
Eisenhower was asked for com-
ment on the Democrats' decision
to put over until the next session,
when they will control Congress,
Senate consideration of any po-
tentially controversial appointees.
One of the nominations delayed
is that of John Marshall Harlan
to be a Supreme Court justice.
The failure to fill this vacancy
prompted the Supreme Court on
Monday to postpone its scheduled
arguments next month on how to
put into effect its decision striking
down public school segregation.
