KILGORE HEADED

FOR PROBE 0B

Expected to Inherit Post Truman, Mead Held.

By NED BROOKS Seripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 —~Coness’ top investigating job, which provided Harry 8. Truman a springboard for the presidency and boosted James M. Mead’s bid- for the New York governorship, is about to pass to a West Virginia = ex-judge and school teacher who already has passed his first tests as an examiner, The job is the chairmanship of the sepate war investigating comom mittee, Its prospective heir is Mr. Brooks Senator Harley Martin Kilgore (D. W. Va.), who

once tooted a horn in the University |

of West Virginia band and now gets his relaxation sawing on a fiddle..

Senator Kilgore is scheduled to Inherit ‘the post as a result of ‘the decision of Senator Mead .to relinquish it about Oct. 1 when he begins his New York campaign. Ahead on Agenda Ahead on the-committee's agenda are investigations into war profits, procurement methods, the $133 million Canol pipeline project, the Garsson munitions empire, defective munition and the Wyman-Rohl efense contracts in Hawaii, As chairman of the committee on war mobilization, Senator Kilgore investigated the effect of monopolies and international cartels on the armament program, exposed the infiltration of Nazi agents and assets into the western hemisphere and revealed weaknesses of American military government in Germany. The West Virginian entered the senate in 1940, unseating the youthful Rush Holt. While still a freshman he was named to the war investigating committee then headed by Mr. Truman. Creation of the war mobilization committee was his

~ own idea. The committee fostered

formation of an office of war mobilization, ‘which President Roosevelt created by executive order. Aided by Labor Support

Senator Kilgore also is credited with originating the office of scientific research and development, which he proposed in a bill offered before the agency .was set up by presidential order. He is the author

of still another bill for establishing

a national research foundation to keep abreast of defense and industrial developments in peacetime.

The political career of the sen-

ator, now 53, has been aided by|

strong labor support. During last spring's coal strike, he supported ohn L. Lewis’ demands on behalf the miners and was leader in e fight against “restrictive” labor legislation. The C. I. O. and its Political Action Committee are supporting him actively in his current race for re-election.

London Faces

. Chilly Winter

Timis Foreign Service LONDON, Sept. 13.—The min-

istry of fuel confirms today that London homes will face their chilliest winter in years if severe weather depletes fuel supplies.

The domestic coal situation is described as good, but as likely to remain so only if relatively mild days continue until the end of October. What will cause the most hard‘ship are the shortages of gas and electricity. In households this will mean reduced cooking and heating. Industrially, there is no effort to conceal official concern. For factories, it may mean layoffs on & considerable scale, Both ‘gas and electric plants have received only emergency repairs since before the war, although they are now operating at loads that are much higher, Gas production is up 25 per cent, electricity more than 50,
