Senate Subcommittee Expects to
Have Final Meeting

The Senate subcommittee which in
vestigated and rewrote the street rail-

final meeting this afternoon to take

would have to be ratified by the stock

merger could become reality.

division can accomplish no more than
work out constructive suggestions for

proper cost records, improvements in
inspection service, systematic and ade-
quate maintenance and closer relation
between traffic and highway authorities,
it will not only have fulfilled its pur-
pose and duty to the municipal authori-

the taxpayers throughout American
cities.'

four years. They are more inclined to the belief that he will seek a seat in the senate as he long has lad desire to round out his career there.
 Many candidates are being urged for the post of governor general of the Philippines, the list including be- side Mir. Fletcher, Silas Strawn of Chicago: Brig. Gen. Frank Mccoy. U. s. A.. and Major General Douglas MacArthur, U. s. A.
 President Hoover for the present, at least, is giving little considera- ton to filling the post, to which he sought to appoint William J. Dono- tan of New York, former assistant to the attorney general. Eugene A. Gilmore, acting governor, apparently is functioning to the satisfaction of the chief executive and his friends sideration when Mir. Hoover decides to name a governor general.
 The president is not committed against naming a military man for the place vacated by Secretary Stim- son and it is believed the test he would apply in such cases would De whether an officer proposed for the appointment were military minded.
 General Mccoy supervised cleo tions last year in Nicaragua and his work in that field drew expressions of praise from the leaders of both the conservatives and the liberals who were opponents in the contest. He also has had experience in other similar tasks.
 Silas Strawn has had experience and contacts in the far east as a member of the American commission to the China conference which sought to work out an agreement on Chinese customs and tariff.
 Ambassador Fletcher also has seen service in the far east. He speaks Spanish fluently and much of his diplomatic work has been in Latin-America. This was one of the reasons why he was selected for the good will tour of Central and South America which MT. Hoover made last year as presid -elect.
