M'REYNOLDS SEEN
AS BOARD DIRECTOR
Efficiency Bureau Assistant
Is Believed Due to Be
Classification Head.

In the big shake-up Of the Personnel
Classification Board to take place under
the Brookhart bill now before the Presi-
dent for his signature, It is understood
the administration has picked William
H. McReynolds, assistant chief of the
Bureau of Efficiency, to be the new di-
rector of classification.
II he Is appointed. as now appears to
be virtually assured, McReynolds would
supplant three alternate members of
the Personnel Classification Board, rep
reSenting the chiefs Of three branches
Of the Government authorized in the
original classification act to constitute
the board. The men whom McReynolds
would supplant are: Capt. Carlos G.
VanLeer who is alternate for the d.
rector of the Bureau of the Budget;
Ismar Baruch, alternate for a member
of the United States Civil Service Com
mission, and Victor G. Croissant, alter
nate for the chief of the Bureau Of Eff
flciency.
Salaries Of thousands Of Government
workers are under Jurisdiction Of the
classification act.
While public attention has been To-
cussed largely upon the pay raises for
many Government employees provided in
shake-up in the administration OF the
classification act also is provided vir-
tually has been lost to sight.
McReynolds has been active in the
past few days in conference with sew
eral officials in the three separate
branches of the Government conSti-
tuting the original board.
McReynolds has been prominent In
the Bureau of Efficiency since 1t was
organized in 1916, and has been an ex-
pert of long experience in classification
matters. He has been a member of the
Classification Board, and was in charge
Of the huge survey which prepared
class specifications for the whole field
service of the Government.
McReynolds was born in Texas, he
practiced law in Michigan, and has had
wide experience in the Bureau of Eff
cheney, working on problems that vitality
concern many different branches of the
Government. His work has been largely
related, however, to personnel problems.

where no restrictions would be imposed
on mrs. Wlley'S plan for a memorial.
When Mrs. Wiley learned of the gra-
clous act on the part of the military
authorities, she hurriedly visited Airing
Ton IN company with Army officials and
selected plot in the old Civil War
section known as 1.-The field of the dead"
MRS Wiley was gratified over the
privilege extended by the War DEPART
ment, because her husband always had
expressed the desire to be buried in
arlington. He was a private and later
corporal of the 18th Indiana Volun-
Seers IN the ClVil War, and served under
Gen. Sherman in 1864.
II was on learning that ARMY regl-
iations prohibit the erection of any but
plain stone of standard design on
graves OF enlisted men that Mrs. Wiley
decided to have the internent in Rock
creek Cemetery rather than at Airing
Ton. There are also restrictions as to
the sort Of memorial that may be
erected in Arlington, as well as to the
wording that may go on them.
Mrs. Wiley desired to erect a monti-
ment IN keeping with Dr. Wiley's prom
lnence In public and private life, and
on it she wanted inscribed the title SO
often given him in life because of his
pioneer work in establishing the Fed
eral food and drug inspection service.
II is understood there was a hurried
consultation of Army officials when 1t
became known that Mrs. Wiley had de-
cided against interment in Arlington,

lations in DR.. Wileys case resulted.

HEATED BAY STATE
CAMP A|GN CLOSES
Democratic GubernatoriaI
Race and G. O. P. Senate
T Fight Hold Stage.

gy the Associated Press.
BOSTON, September i5.-One Of
Massachusetts, most bitterly contested
primary campaigns reached its climax
today with interest centering mainly
on the vote tomorrow for the Demo
cratic gubernatorial nomination and
the Republican choice for United States
senatorial standard bearer. Other
places on the states of each party were
vigorously sought after, but the heat
of the battle radiated chiefly from the
struggles for these top positions.
Joseph B. Ely Of Westfield and John
j. Cummings of Boston were paired in
the fight for the Democratic guberna-
torial nomination.
The name of John F. Fitzgerald,
Former mayor Of Boston, also will APP
pear on the ballot although he has
announced his withdrawal because Of
illneSs.
Attacked by Curley.
Ely's most vigorous opposition and
his heartiest support have come from
outside the field of candidates. He has
been the object of vitriolic attacks by
Mayor James NJ. Curley of Boston, who
charges he is "the foe of the Irish race"
and Notwithstanding Fitzgerald's with
drawal. urges that Fitzgerald be &C
corded the nomination. This would
force the State Democratic Committee
to name the party's candidate.
Today Curley's attack had drawn
Frank J. Donahue, chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, into the
battle. Donahue broke a precedent by
declaring for Ely's nomination In a
statement last night the State commit
tee chairman took Curley to task for
s'raising the issue Of racial bigotry."
Draper and Butler Claim Victory.
The Republican senatorial primary
opponents, Eben S. Draper of Hopedale
and former United States Senator Will
liam M. Butler OF New Bedford, both
claimed victories by margins ranging
from 10000 to 10000 votes. A study
of the situation, according to observers,
however, seemed to indicate a close race.
Former Representative Joseph F.
O'Connell of Boston, a candidate for
the Democratic senatorial nomination,
spoke over the radio from his bedside
He opposes Thomas G. O'Brien, Marcus
Coolidge of Fitchburg, former Gov.
Eugene FoSs and Peter Joyce. O'Con-
nell promised to work for the relief of
unemployment If elected. Coolidge
claimed the backing of labor leaders
through the State in his prediction
eve addresses.
Gov. Frank G. Allen again was a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for chief executive, and was OPP
posed by Mayor John D. Devir of NAL
den.

CAMPAIGN
ENDS IN WISCONSIN
Republican Factions Vote To-
morrow Following Contest
Marked by InveCtive.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
MILWAUKEE, Wis, September 49,
Wisconsin, cradle of the Progressive
movement in Republican politics, came
today to the end of a primary cam
paign unequaled in many years for
vigor and bitterness.
Tomorrow voters will nominate for
governor either Philip r. La Toilette
son of the late Robert Marion La Fol-
lette, or Walter J. Kohler, the million
aire manufacturer who swept into
Office two years ago.
Third of the line, Philip has sought
to maintain in power the faction his
father brought to full growth. Kofler
ularity and realignment with the ma
tional administration.
HOOver's Name Injected.
In this State, where the primary
campaigns always are turbulent affairs,
tomorrow'S election has attracted so
much interest that leaders of both
groups predict an outpouring equal TO
that of 1928 when Herbert Hoover was
elected President.
Mr.. Hoover and his works have been
injected as an issue in the campaign.
Senator Robert M. La Toilette. jr.,
speaking for his brother, has linked
Kohler with Hoover in placing re-
sponsibility for unemployment and the
current business depression.
For 80 years Wisconsin has remained
faithful to the La Follettes themselves
but not always to the men they chose
to head Progressive tickets. The Re-
publican nomination, tantamount to
election, was won by an Independent
four years ago and by Gov Kohler, a
Conservative" two years ago.
La Toilette, 33, almost the picture Of
his father 80 years ago, has waged a
sparkling and aggressive campaign.
Kohler So, has relied on his record in
Office, but the sensation he caused by
winning in 1923 has accrued to his
benefit. Both candidates oppose the
eighteenth amendment, thereby elm
mating it as an issue.
Fundamental Issues Involved.

which have accompanied the campaign
