April 2 - ll'l’i Sen Wayne Moise. R. Ore., today accused the senate of merely “making a pretense'' of studying the quailflcation* of men It confirms for high government jobs. He cited a* an example the pending nomination of Commodore James K. Vardaman, Jr.. President Truman's naval aide, to a 14-year term on the federal reserve twin rd. Although declaring himself neutral thus far on the nomination. Morse said In an Interview that he intend* to obstruct administration efforts to bring II to an early vote because ”| will t»e no party to a pretensa." 'The people of this Country should understand that member* of the Vnited Blates senate do not take the lime to check on itie qualiOiations of these men." he said. “It Is just a pretense." In Vardaman'* case, Mor»e said, “serious eharxes have been mad.as to hit competency and his character. and i believe it i* the responsibility iff every senator to study them and decide whether or not there is any basis for them." ' And that." he added, “cannot l»e done when most of the suuaUtrff are out of the senate chamber." Morse referred to senate attendance yesterday when Ben. Forrest C. Donnell. R. Mo., spoke for nearly five hour* against confirmation of Vardaman. Rarely were there more than haK a dozen senators on the Moor at atty time. His listener* for the most part were members of the senate banking subcommtltee which had held several weeks of hearing* on the nomination. Donneh who plan* to speak for several hours more tisiay. told the senate tarda.nan was unquuhfled for the federal reserve position. He said there had been "au obvious tendency on the part of Mr. Vardaman to color the testimony to hi* own advantage" when he was on the witness stand. — o II l« a mark of «ukue«b In a church when it let* prestige out- i weight righteouaness.
