the President his recommendation of
q man to succeed himself.
1t is learned from an unquestioned
authority hat McAdoo's one best
bet Is Walker D.. Hines. the present
assistant director general. Two other
men named by McAdoo as a~lternates
are Charles c. McChord, member of
the interstate commerce commission,
and Russell C. Lefingwell, assistant
secretary of the treasury.
Opinion In Washington is that the
man to be selected will be either
Hines or McChord.
Hines has been the actual acting
head of the railroad administrator
since 1t was organized last January,
despite the fact that McAdoo held the
title. He presided at most confer
ences of department heads.
McAdoo took him from the Santa
Fe, of which he was chairman OF the
Dodru OF u~lTectors. ne was TOT years
general counsel before he became
chairman. He has been rated with
Elihu Root n Joseph II. Choate
among the greatest lawyers the coun-
try has produced.
Hines Is primarily n corporation
man. He fought many famous cases
for the railroads before he entered
government service, including the
Adamson act. which sought TO raise
the salaries OF railroad employees. He
personally favors return OF the rail-
roads to private ownership, with
form OF government control.
