Cause of the delay was ex-Pipefitter Durkin's wish to get a C.I.O. man in one of the Labor Department's three assistant secretaryships. When C.I.O.

Then, three weeks ago, at a meeting of the parent Judiciary Committee, Pat made his slickest move-a resolution calling for further delay...
...Government need not control northwest projects, that they should be built, financed and run by interstate authorities. Thus, when there is a will to get the Government out of business, it can unquestionably be done. To do so, the new Administration will have to overcome all the resistance, obstruction, delay and evasion of the bureaucrat-at-bay. It will have to hack through the plausible defenses which inertia and tradition have accumulated over decades. But the further it gets into the problem, the sooner it will learn that the only way to stop Government in business is to stop...
