WRIGLEY, JR. WALSH APPROVED AS POWER CHIEF BY STATE SENATE Northern Tier Republicans Abandon Party Ranks to Vote for Confirmation. Albany, Jan, 26. The nomination of Frank P. Walsh as chairman of the State Water Power Authority was confirmed in the Senate today after a bitter fight.

The vote was 27 to 22, with northern tier Republican Senators deserting party ranks to vote for confirmation. Majority Leader George R. Fearon led the attack against Walsh.

Fearon accused Walsh of saying that Roosevelt had become a "Gyp the Blood and ready to slug any one who stood for human rights." "I am not ready to cast my vote for a man like that," the Republican leader shouted. "I hope my friend down on the second floor (Governor Roosevelt) will find that out." "I am not speaking for myself but for my party," Fearon said, "I am not one who feels it necessary to approve such a man, just because the Govenor named him." Senator John P. Hastings defended Walsh's appointment, saying, "There is not 8. better equipped man in the land." Fearon said that in Governor Roosevelt's budget there was an item totaling several thousand dollars for counsel fees for Walsh. "My or information was that another attorney had presented the brief and argued the case and when the brief was sent to the printer there was an order that Walsh's name appear on the brief." Fearon said that was Walsh's only connection with the case.

He said the actual attorney in the case was former. Attorney General Hamilton Ward. The appointment of Delos M. Cosgrove, Watertown; Fred Freestone, Interlaken; James C. Bonbright, New York City, and Morris L.
