Collector of Taxes Is Choice OF
Many for District
Commissioner.
OTHERS IN THE RUNNING

With the announcement today that
come a major in the artillery, following
a three months training period at Fort
Myer 1t is to be expected the President
will soon announce his successor at the
District building. Indications in admin
istration sources today pointed strongly
to the possibility that Ben L. Prince,
collector of taxes. will be named. At
the White House today it was said that
no announcement would be made until
after the President returns from trip
on the Mayfower down the Chesapeake
bay. and that no further recommends
tions had been received from citizens
associations and other bodies.
Pick Prince as Winner.
Especially among the officials Of the
District government is the belief strong
that Mr. Prince will become the next
District Commissioner. None of these
officials can say with certainty that this
will be the outcome. but there is much
believe that the President is more favor
ably disposed toward Mr.. Prince than
to any of the other possibilities.
Ben Prince has the firm friendship Of
many of the Presidents closest ad-
visers. There is rumor in the Dis
trict building today that Commissioner
Newman has already recommended him
with that is the knowledge that Com
missioner Brownlow looks upon Mr..
Prince as one of the strongest supports
in the District government
