assurance to speculate too confidently
even regarding her. She has strong
backing and her record is said to
have favorably impressed the Presi-
dent. Among those who have urged
her appointment are Brig. Gen. II. NJ
Lord, director of the Budget, who has
known Miss Dell personally for num-
Der of years and is well acquainted
with her capabilities, having had oc-
caSion to observe them when she was
an employe of the War Department,
where she worked from 1899 until
1921. Miss Dell has never been as
sociated with the Civil Service Com
mission, as was stated in The Star
yesterday.
However, Miss Delrs candidacy has
not been without it's clouds. The
White House has received protests
against her appointment, principally
in connection with her having been
a bit too active as a member OF the
National Woman's Party back in
those days before the women had Il
vote and when members of this party
were looked upon as ''militants."
Has Smoot's Endorsement.
Miss Dell also has the Endorsement
of Senator Smoot oftUtah and several
persons prominent in the Democratic
organization of Georgia and other
States. Besides this, her appoint
ment has been recommended by Mrs
Virginia White Speel, prominent Re
publican party worker and president
Of the League of Republican Women
of the District of Columbia.

CIVIL SERVICE POST
SOON TO Be FILLED
Coolidge Determined to Name
Woman-Miss Jessie Dell
Hinted as in Lead.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.

1t Is known that President Coolidge
is not greatly disturbed by the squab-
bles that have arisen regarding sew
eral of the aspirants for the vacancy
on the United States Civil Service
Commission caused by the death of
Mrs. Helen Gardener. At the same
time it was learned that even though
this office has received any number of
protests against the appointment OF
two or three women, who We're repre-
Sented as being seriously considered
for this important Federal Post, he in
tends to make a selection very shortly
and his appointee will be a woman.
An intimate of the President said
today that it is very probable that an
nouncement OF a successor to Mrs.
Gardener would be made within the
week. The President is understood to
have narrowed his choice down to two
or three candidates and to have about
made up his mird regarding these.
Because of the storm of protest
that has gone up in various quarters
since the names OF those on the
Presidents preferred list We're made
known, it is said authoritatively at
the White House today, the Presi-
dent will not change his mind about
appointing a woman.
This manifested itself when there
developed a feeble attempt on the
part of certain male political leaders
to take advantage of the lack of
serenity in connection with this APP
pointment, to prevail upon the EXecu-
tive to give up the idea of appointing
a woman, and to settle all the Squab-
bling by falling back upon one OF
his own sex for appointment to the
commission.
Miss Jessie Dell Leads.
According to those close to the
President, the President has been sert-
ously considering Miss Jessie Dell OF
Georgia, Miss Ethel Smith of this city
and Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cunningham
of Texas. Miss LYDIA Hafford, secre-
tary of the Federation of Women S
Clubs, also is understood to occupy a
prominent place upon the President
preferred list. One person close to the
President said today that while Miss
Hafford may be handicapped by a lack
of Endorsement, she has a record for
activities which should serve her well
if the President gives it serious study.
Although considerable protest has
been made against the selection of
Miss Ethel Smith, it is not thought
that the President has yet eliminated
her from consideration.
Regarding Mrs. Cunningham, it is
explained by this same intimate of the
President that ii would not be surpriS-
ing to learn that Mr.. Coolidge had
dropped her from his list of possible
selections. 1t is understood that the
opposition to Mrs. Cunningham comes
almost entirely from Democratic wom-
en- and Democratic organizations, and
that the principal objection is to Mrs.
Cunningham political activity.
Urged by Gen. Lord
It would seem from what this White
House authority advanced that Miss
Jessie Dell occupies the position at
the top Of the Presidents list. and
that her chances of success are the
