surrounding the selection of the Harding
ministry is disclosed today in the sec
ond installment of Albert B. Falls story
of his experiences in Washington, which
is bling carried by the North American
Newspaper Alliance of which The Star
is member.
In continuing his narrative. Fall says
that Herbert Hoover was appointed Sec
rotary of Commerce through a political
trade engineered by Senators Penrose
and Knox of Pennsylvania that gave
Andrew w. Mellon, also a Pennsylva-
MAN. instead of Gen. Dawes, the Treas
ury portfolio.
He says also that Charles Evans

Harding was visioning election, and
brought up Mr.. Hoovers nanln.
What do you think Of him?" Mr..
Fall quotes Harding as having said.
Fall said that there was an exchange
of stares: that Hoover. because of his
prominence in the Wilson administra-
ton. was viewed as a Democrat and
this was a group of dyed-in-the-wool
Republicans"
He should be in the cabinet. Prob
ably no man is better known in this

9 banker as you'll and anywhere. Don't
forget that!"
"At least half dozen times in that
conversation" Fall adds, Harding men
toned that Dawes was a musician and
composer. The spiritual qualities i'm
piled in Dawes aptitude for music
seemed to touch something in Hard
ing,s sentimental nature.
There the situation lay-ReynoldS,
who was well supported, on the one
hand; Dawes on the other. There was
never any bitter factional fight between
them, but both stood high in the flu
ture Presidents considerations, with
Dawes standing little the higher.
THE shrewd and astute Senators
Knox and Penrose sized up this state

President for a cabinet job. They were

zone day Knox summoned me to his
ofice. Penrose was there. Harding
was then in Florida. The Senators
came to the point. They wanted me to
go to Florida and insist that Harding
pledge himself to Andrew w. Mellon
for Secretary of the Treasury
They extolled Mellon: big figure
| in his home State, man of great
financial grasp and ability, man who
would bring power and influence to the
administration. Pennsylvania, too, they
did not neglect to say, was entitled to
recognition, the most effective of all
political claims when backed by a good
favorable vote. as in this instance
Standing there, looking at those two
powerful Senators, it seemed to me. too,
that Pennsylvania was entitled to recog-
milton.
But I didn't know what Harding
would say. How about Illinois? How
about Dawes, his favorite?
1T popped into my mind that Hard
ing was also insistent that Hoover, now
openly for him and making speeches in
his behalf should be in his cabinet
Without the support Of Knox and Pen
rose, Hoover's nomination for the
cabinet would never be confirmed"
Trying to cover my inward embarrass-
ment by joking Mr.. Fall says he
queried:
Isn't it customary to ask in what
political way reciprocation might be
shown were this little favcr done?"
Penrose said certainly he recalls,
then Fall adds:
Well I hesitated. wondering what
the effect was going to be, how about
Herbert Hoover?"
Trade Terms Made.
"You insist that Harding nominate
Mellon, and if he does nominate Mellon,
We'll support Hoover"
Again I wondered about Dawes Knox
