fore and will settle into the harness of
efficiency"

he added "I believe he will give the
kind of administration Secretary Mel
lon wishes He has Judgment, vision
and common sense and that holds for
a sound administration"
Secretary Mellon also declared DIR.
Doran was particularly we'll quail
fed for the post of commissioner"
adding that he believed this promo
tion within the service to be in ac-
cordance with a sound principle of ad-
ministration to be followed wherever
possible as the best means of develop
ing experienced administrators and of
fering a real inducement to able men
to enter the Government service"
Mr.. Haynes declined to comment.
No comment, either, was forthcoming
from officials of the Anti-Saloon
League. whose. executive committee
