CAPEHART SUPPORTS TRUMAN SELECTIONS

mes Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, June 7.—Senator Homer E. Capehart (R. Ind. will vote approval of President Truman's latest appointments, he declared today. “The President's nomination of ¥red M. Vinson as chief justice of the supreme court I consider a good political appointment,” Senator Capehart said. “As to the naming of John W Snyder to succeed Vinson as secretary of the treasury I have no comment to make. I shall vote for their confirmation, as well as that of John L. Sullivan as _undersecretary of navy.’ Outlining his philosophy as a Republican senator toward administration appointments, Senator Capehart said: “Unless some gross mistake i8 made I do not think the senate is in a position to judge efficiency of the inen the Prgsident selects. Everything being equal our job is to approve and thns make the administration responsible.”
