Senate Fight Looms Over Wilson Approval
Washington — U.P.)— Some Southern Democratic Senators may fight confirmation of Charles E. Wilson as defense secretary because of his big industrial stock holdings, it was learned today.
The Southerners, led by Sen. Harry F. Byrnd, (D-Va.), were still weighing the decision as the Armed Services committee prepared to vote on approving the former General President for the key cabinet job.
Republicans were confident that Mr. Wilson would be confirmed. But any substantial opposition to his appointment could prevent his being sworn in on inauguration day with other members of President-elect Eisenhower's cabinet.
Here is the issue—whether federal law or propriety bar a man from serving as defense secretary when he has substantial interests in a corporation which is one of the nation's largest defense contractors.
Mr. Wilson told the Senators in secret session yesterday that his holdings in stock, presumably General Motors, are worth about $2.5 million on the present market. It is said that he reported about $635,000 and an additional 1,800 shares of GM stock are due him before 1957 under a bonus arrangement if he does nothing "inimical" to GM's interests.
There were these other developments in shaping up the Eisenhowei cabinet:
1. The Armed Services committee called for questioning three prospective service secretaries; Robert Stevens, Army; Robert B. Anderson, Navy; and Harold E. Talbott, Air. All three have extensive industrial backgrounds and the question applying to Wilson could hold in their cases as well.
2. The Senate Labor Committee called Martin P. Durkin for public questioning on his appointment as labor secretary. Durkin faced a cross-examination by Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio), who called Durkin's appointment "incredible." Sen. Taft, however, said in advance that he would not oppose Durkin, a Democrat and former AFL official.

British Seeking Eighth Nazi
Bonn, Germany — (U.P.)—British security officials searched today for an eight follower of Adolf Hitler who eluded their crackdown on former high-ranking Nazi plotting to regain power in West Germany.
Dr. Karl Friedrich Bornemann, owner of a so-called "independent news service," escaped the simultaneous raids Wednesday and Thursday that netted seven plotters.
Dr. Bornemann's Duesseldorf office and apartment were searched and many documents impounded. But he was not there and his wife said he had left for an "unknown destination."
There were widespread rumors
that former top Nazi radio commen-
tator, Hans Fritzsche, also had been
arrested or was scheduled to be
picked up as soon as possible.
According to British sources, the plotters had connections with East Zone Communists and possibly even with the Russians.
