Fills Alabama Posts by Re-
cess Appointments on Eve
of New Congress.

President Coolidge last night gave
recess appointments to John W. Van
Heuvel as United States marshal for
the southern district of Alabama and
Douglas Smith as United States marshal
for th,' middle district OF Alabama.
Appointment of the two marshals on
the eve of the convening of Congress
was not explained, but it has been
known for several weeks that Mr.
Coolidge was endea voring to dispose of
the Alabama patronage question at the
earliest possible date. The nominations
of the two men will be sent to the Sen
with the nominations OF nearly 200. re-
cess appointees. most OF whom We're
selected by President Harding.
Whether the name of Walter l.
Cohen, negro republican leader of
New Orleans, who was given recess
after his nomination as controller of
the port of New orleans was rejected
by the last Senate. will be included
among those to be sent to the Senate
has not been disclosed at the White
House. Some who have discussed
the matter with Mr.. Coolidge. are
inclined to believe that compromise
will be reached which will meet the
objections of Senator's RanSdell and
Broussard OF Louisiana. who fought
confirmation of Cohen's nomination
in the last Senate.
The suggestion was heard yesterday
that Cohen might be selected to fill the
office of director of negro economics
and commissioner OF conciliation in
the Labor Department which was
made vacant this week by the death
of Phil H. Brown, formerly of Louis
willie, Ky. This Office always has been
held by negro and if Cohen were
appointed to il an appointment Of a
