ministratiOn.
By PAUL r. MALLON
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. U,P-
Claudius II. Huston submitted his
resignation as chairman of the Re-
publican National committee today,
and informed the executive com
mittce, to whom he presented it,
that he was resigning because he
placed interests of the party ahead
of personal considerations.
Immediately after the resigna
ton was received Senator Fess of
Ohio was elected without objection
by the % members of the executive
committee, or their proxies, to be
chairman.
Robert H. Lucas, Louisville, KY,
as elected executive director" OF
the executive committee, likewise
without opposition or discussion.
Lucas now is commissioner of In
ternal Revenue.
He will eerve at headquarters
here in a capacity similar to that
of Jouett Shouse for the Democrats.
Shouse is chairman of the National
Democratic executive committee
and is i'll charge of national head
quarters mere.
George Keim, Edgewater Park,
y. j., was named secretary to sue
ceed Rep. Franklin Fort, Rep. n.
j., who retired to enter the Sena-
torial race against Dwight Morrow
in New Jersey several months ago.
Keim was a Hoover delegate to the
1928 national convention and has
been generous contributor to cam.
! paign funds.
Earnest Lee Jahncke, New Or
| leans, assistant secretary of navy,
was chosen national committeeman
from Louisiana, succeeding the late
Emil Kuntz. He is expected to
have some Influence in distribu
| tion of southern patronage, ques-
| tion which was raised by Colonel
Horace A. Mann, in his declara
| tion of war last night against the
| administration. The case of Mann,
/ who was one of the leaders in the
Hoover southern campaign, was not
| discussed at the meeting.
In the statement, Huston thus
| took parting shot at those who
! have insisted upon his resignation
| ever since the senate lobby com
mittee revealed that he had diver
ted funds of the Tennessee River
Improvement Association tempor-
arily to cover his stock margins.
His resignation today brought an
| end to a long controversy in Rcpub-
lican party ranks, during which he
refused, persistently, to step out.
| He submitted his resignation today
in keeping with a promise a few
weeks ago eXacted by enissaries
acting for President Hoover.
Huston defended himself for the
first time against the attacks dir
ccted against him because of the
| lobby committee disclosures He con
| tended these attacks were aimed
generally az the party and the ad-
miniStration and that they iad been
made the basis of a whispering cam
paign against him.
IPd Dithdrawl, he said, would
permit the party TO select Il leader
free from the present fractional
! strife.
