Johnson (D- Cblo) called him “a warped, ty rannical, mischievous, egotistical chameleon whose predominant col or is pink.” Senators suipporting the nomin ation countered with charges that private gas and oil interests were backing the fight against Olds.

Gabbard when he attended the United Natiionx Conference on Conservation and Utilization of Resources at Ijike Success, New York, this summer. Gabbard, a professor in the Ag ricultural Economics and Sociology Department met with famous men fjrom 50 member nations of the U. N. to discuss means whereby they could conserve and utilize the resources of their respective coun tries. I; Trygve Lie, secretary-general of the UN acted as chairman for this conference. This meeting evol ved from President Harry S. Tru man’s request that members of the U. N. get together and exchange ideas that would aid each coun try in her resource problems. Gabbard remarked that each dele gate present realized the grea(, im portance of the meet and worked tirelessly toward its satisfactory aind successful end. Resources being so vital to a Country’s existence, the confer ence was especially significant in this time of war devastated con ditions and general economic up heavals. This body had no policy making power and its sole aim was ito get and exchange ideas that would be qf value to all the countries; ; ! Famous men from all over the world were present at the con ference. The star studded roll of outstanding men in their respec tive fields included Sir William Ogg of England, Dr. M. M. Coady of Canada, and Gordon Clapp of the Tennessee Valley Authority. | Charles Brannan, Secretary of Agriculture and Julius Krug, Sec- rttaity of the Interior also attended. Gabbard added that, while the group had no legislative authority, they benefited greatly from the ,1 I, Li ■ various ideas and techniques for warded by the members. •- . ^ Wlfh this information, he says, each country should reap big diy- idendft in the f!41d of conservation and liiilization resources.
