anc with the recommendations of the

welt until late yesterday that Super

Slocum report, that Rode vas al APP
pointee of the secretary of commerce
and labor. For thai reason he direct
ed the secretary, in that matter, to

merce and labor. He signed them and
Mr.. Rode will be notified by the de-
partment that he has been removed
Further carrying into effect the
recommendations of the Slocun com
mission, Secretary Metcalf has called
