NY TlCSiucIll.
The name OF Maj. Peyton Cor.
don. whose term as United States
attorney for the District of Columbia
expired last July, was not included
| In the list of several thousand nom
! inations for appointment to the pub
| lie service sent to the Senate today

Failure on the part Of the Presiden'
to submit Maj. Gordon's name TO the
Senate today is taken in some local
| quarters as being significant, but a.
| the White House, where inquiry was
| made, there was nothing to indicate
| that Maj Gordon Is not being reap
! pointed. The impression was gained
| that the President is not ready at this
| time to announce his intention regard
| Ing Maj. Gordon. The President has
on a number Of occasions, since Ma.
Gordon's time expired, let 1t be known
that he would reappoint Mr.. Gordon.

| saw no occasion to rush matters when
he was making reappointments to the
Federal service, and this is taken BY

! Gordon's name being omitted from to-
| days list Of nominations.
