Congressman Miller and Senator

months over this appointment Miller

Senator Baker recommended Briggs
and sent his name to Director Merriam.

had Briggs name taken off the list

this matter:

Afterwards, when 1t had been deter
mined that Eastman should not have
the place, a bitter fight enSued. As I
had recommended Eastman, I stood by
him. I went to the president with my
case. The result was that he directed
Merriam to make the appointment,
which was done.
Senator Baker requested the presi-

matter remained in that shape till a

me that he had withdrawn his appIica-
ton for supervisor I understood that
