NAMES OF D. c. HEADS READY FOR SENATE
CIVILIAN CHIEF
CHOICE IS STILL
KEPT SECRET

The shaping of the new munlci.
pal regime of the District of Col
umbia will be completed by Presi-
dent Hoover this week.
The names of two new Commis-
Sioners for the Capital will be sent
70 the Senate by President Hoover
on Thursday or shortly thereafter,
ana the long-awaited new order of
tnlngS in the District Building
Will be made known to the city.
Inc name of Maj. Gen. Herbert
b: Crosby will go to the Senate
within few hours after he retires
on March &c, it was indicated to-
oay at the White House.
Name Unknown
Along with his name will go that
OF the other civilian Commissioner
whose identity is still withheld by
the President. It is this appoint.
ment which in the past few weeks
mas developed into an all-Washing-
ton guessing contest, with hardly
any citizen scratched" from the
list of eligibles
Among those whose names are
most frequently mentioned for
the second commissionership are
isaac Cans, civic leader; Ring
gold Hart, former Assistant Cor.
poration Counsel, and Herbert D,
Brown, chief of the Bureau of
Efficiency.
It has already been announced
that in view of Browns reluctance
to shift his activities from his
present post to the District Build
ing he will not be asked to be-
come a Commissioner unless the
President fails entirely in his
quest for. a local appointee ac-
ceptahle to him.
Crosby Fairly Safe
Despite the determined opposi-
tion from civic and business
groups which greeted the pro
jected nomination of General
Crosby a few weeks ago, there
now appears to be little doubt
that he will be confirmed by the
Senate, in accordance with
Presidents wishes. The issue as
to his eligibility to become a
civilian Commissioner, however,
may b. threshed out later by
Comptroller General McCarl.
General Crosby will be charged
with the proposed reorganization
of the Police Department anc
will be in direct charge Of the
local campaign against iquCr
and gaming, striving to carry out
the presidential policy to make
washington a model city, so
far as law enforcement is con
cerned. F.@ =.
The predominantly m Ii tary
character of the new admins
tration for the city thus seems
to be clearly established with the
new appointee in charge Of that
storm center of local ad.Elnlstra-
Stion-the police-and another
Army officer, Colonel Aadue, in
charge of engineering activities.
The hopes of Washineton for
local representation, for choice OF
. lone of their own kind" so far
as the third Commissioner is con
cerned, remain high.
The President has conferred
with a number of local citizens
on the same subject, inclu liz g
isaac Cans, and also the gro- lp
that dominates local q. ,. P
interests. !,
So far as can be as2ertained,
he has given no hint as to his
intentions with regard to the
post.
