EFFICIENCY NEEDED
IN PUBLIC BUSINESS,
SAYS SEN DU POINT
Selection Of Jonathan Brown
as Secretary Cited as
Proof.
WILL ALSO NAME ANOTHER

Efficiency i'm office is to be one oi
the maxims of United States Senator
Coleman du Pont. as far as his re-
lations with the Senate and the bust
ness of the United States is concerned
judging by statements he made to-
day to representative of Every Even
ing. The Senator proposes to exer-
else the same business acumen in
Federal affairs that he does in his
many private business enterprises, IL
was inferred.
In announcing this plan. Senator
du Pont did so. in reply to a question
about his selecting Jonathan Howard
Brown as his private secretary. Mr.,
Brown was reared in the Office of for
mer Senator Willard Salisbury, later
being appointed as his secretary while
in Washington and more recently was
an attache of the office of Senator
King, Democratic Senator from Utah.
The news from Washington yester-
day announcing the naming of Mr..
Brown as Senator du Points secre-
tary was great surprise to many
persons here. especially the dyed in
the wool politicians of both sides.
They couldn't understand it-this
naming of a Democrat to be the con-
iidcnt in many matters of a Republic
can Senator.
Il wanted an efficient man for that
job" said Senator du Popt today. ITS
efficiency first with me. But at the
same time Delawareans are paramont.
BY that / mean that while / am a Re
publican, when il comes to the U. $.
Senate I am Delawarean. and If Del
awareans are efficient they get the
first choice with me. But they must
be efficient"
But are you going to name an
other attache-a political secretary
Senator du Pont was asked.
Yes. / think / shall" he replied.
But / am not ready to make any an
nouncement yet. In the course of a
few DAYS / may do so. perhaps not
so soon.
Despite the strain of attending TO
private business and his public and
political affairs in the past three days.
Senator du Pont was full of vigor to-
day. When asked about his indorse-
ment of Robert Is. Elliott of Seaford
for prohibition director for Delaware,
he said:
Senator Ball. Mr.. Layton and Mr..
Warner lRepublican State Chairman)
have all approved of Mr.. Elliott and
was glad to add my approval"
The Senator said that his plans
were rather indefinite. He is going to
New York, but viii return, very likely
before going west, but he expects to
get away in few days for Colorado,
where he proposes to enjoy another
