Mr.. Hoover has taken advantage
of the provision congress made for
charging the executive offices and
adding two more secretarieI to make
the White House real business
headquarters of the government.
The distinctly " Hoover touch
in this organization is creation of
Il secretary who will coordinate ac-
tivities of various government de
partments on matters of policy.
This job will 60 to julius Klein,
who arved under Mr.. Hoover in
the commerce department..
Mr.. Hoover viii have as usual a
political secretary, who will be
George Akerson, now known as the
man il was necessary to see before
seeing Mr. Hoover.
Lawrence Richcy, former secret
service agent, who has been with
Mr. Hoover for IL years will b" per
sonal secretary.
Thc- three men will draw salar-
les of $4,000 a year each.

Five places, it appears, J.ili are
indcfinitc-war, commerce, labor,
agriculture and attorney general
The five places which have been
filled definitely are: secretary Of
state, Henry l.. Stimson, New Yorl; !;

Hoover home of James W. Good,
Chicago lawyer, and Henry NJ.

inspired predictions that these two
men certainly will be in the cabinct.
Good is mentioned now as likely
attorney general. Robin.'n would fit
either into the war or commerce de-
