With these appointments, the Gov
ernor filled vacancies on the county
board of education, the various exam
lining boards and the boards of differ
ent State institutions.
There was no strong political lineup
against any of the appointees except
Judge Siewierski, of the Juvenile
Court. William Curran, former Stat'.
Senator from the First District, and
DR.. George Heller opposed Judge Sic
wierski, principally because of the lat
ter's advocacy of Frank J. Jaworsh
for the Legislature against candj
date backed by Curran and Heller.
William l. Norris, President of the
State Senate, backed Judge Siewier-
ski, however, and in addition strong
non-political influences were brought
to bear and helped largely in the re-.
appointment.
