Except for the selection of an Assist
ant Attorney General to succeed Mrs.
Mabel Walker Wildebrandt, as chief
prohibition enforcement officer, Presi-
dent Hoover has completed the retrs
ganization OF the administration OF
which he became the head six months
ago.
He still has q number of judicial ap-
poirltments as well as some others to
make, however, the judicial including
Judges for the first and seventh cir
cults and for the Eastern district of
New York, and the districts of Kansas
and New Jersey. In addition two
judges must be selected for the Court
of Claims.
District attorneys still to be appointed
include those for the Southern district
Of Florida, the Northern district OF
Mississippi and the Eastern and West
ern districts of Pennsylvania. These
will complete the reorganization of the
district attorneys force of the country
as q result of q survey determined upon
by the Chief Executive and Attorney
General Mitchell early in the admins
tration.
Action Awaited on III Appointments
With these selections there will be a
sizeable batch Of appointments to be
acted upon by the Senate, including
lit submitted at the first part of the
special session of Congress, but which
were not acted upon. All of these nom
nations must be sent in again.
President Hoover probably will defer
to the wishes Of Republican Senate
leaders that only the most urgent nomi-
nations be submitted before the regular
session in December, SO that there will
consideration Of the tariff bill.
Nominations Of the eight members
Of the Federal Farm Board unquestion-
ably will be transmitted to the Senate
soon after the resumption TO the Spe-
cial session this week, as members Of
the board must serve without compen-
sation until their nominations have
been confirmed.
Just before the special session ends
the President also is expected to sub
nit the name Of Senator Walter E.
Edge of New Jersey. to be Ambassador
to France. Confirmation of this NOM
nation is expected in open executive
session, as this Is customary where
Senators are named to other offices.
Opposition to Alcorn Hinted.
There naturally Is speculation as 10
whether Mrs. Withdrawals successor
will be nominated before December.
The President has practically decided
to appoint Hugh M. Alcorn. States at
torney of Connecticut. Mr.. Alcorn
has the Endorsement of most of the
dry leaders, but there have been reports
of some opposition in the Senate and
this Is assumed to have delayed an
nouncement of the appointment.
The nomination of Clarence NJ.
Young of Iowa, as Assistant Secretary
Of Commerce for Aviation may be held
over until the regular session as Will
liam P. MacCracken does not retire I'M
til October l. 1t also may be that some
of the judicial nominations will be
held up, especially those around which
any controversy might develop.
Thus far the President has had lit
tie difficulty with the Senate over NOM
nations. having had only one rejected
out of a total of 1,948 submitted. Four
Of the nominations, all involving pro-
motion Of Army officers, were withdrawn
and 1925 were confirmed, with lit still
to be acted upon. The nomination re-
jected was that of Redmond A. Bolton
as postmaster at jamestown, N. Oak.
