...somewhat reluctant," the senior Senator from Kansas began, ". . . to talk about matters that question or might impugn the loyalty of certain officials . . ." Then, quickly overcoming his reluctance, plodding, 55-year-old Republican Andy Schoeppel proceeded for the next two hours to impugn the loyalty of Secretary of Interior Oscar Chapman...
...Malicious & Irresponsible." Oscar Chapman, fighting-mad, rumbled into a klieg-lighted meeting of the Senate's Interior and Insular Affairs Committee two days later and confronted his accuser. "Senator Schoeppel's statement," said Chapman, ". . . can be dismissed as malicious and irresponsible . . . another instance of the use of the smear technique which has become the stock in trade of little men in high places."

Interior's Oscar Chapman will regulate the production and distribution of electric power, gas, petroleum, coal and other minerals. Wage controls will probably be the special province of Secretary of Labor Maurice Tobin...
...Controls. There were other-and bigger-conflicts ahead. What would happen if Brannan wanted steel for farm machinery and the Munitions Board wanted the same steel for tanks? Or if Interior's Chapman refused to divert electric power to make aluminum Sawyer wanted? Under the law, the National Security Resources Board has power to referee interdepartmental squabbles, and NSRB Chairman Stuart Symington in effect speaks with the voice of the President. But since Cabinet members have the right of appeal from his orders, it seemed likely that most critical squabbles would land right in the lap of the President...
