Shaw Is the most active OF all the men

would be moro active II be was not
wanted four or fve times a week by
some Congressional committee But Sec
all parts of the country, and to the best
OF his ability he Is filling the long-feIt

trement of Shaw from the Cabinet He
would have been out long before this II
he had followed his first Intentions.

possible successors as he can In his Cabi-

who think they are possibilities. but their
environments are such that they can

Roosevelt cannot get all the possibilities
In his Cabinet He cannot have the Vice
President, the Speaker and the senior

from Pennsylvania, although the latter
was once n member OF his Cabinet and
| the former the most earnest supporter
tho President had In the Senate. But
four possibilities In one Cabinet would
seem to be enough.
