: of Names From White House;

worked away on a myriad Of last

were made. but the Senate kept pace
with the White House by sending most
of them right back again-confirmed
Among them were diplomats, Recon-
members, Judges, district attorneys
and internal revenue collectors.

ing the mass of last-minute appoint
ments to the Capitol brought the big
gest single days batch of conf1rma-

civilian appointments were rushed
through the Senate and $50 Army and
Navy appointments-350 for the Army
and 200 for the Navy, most of them
of a routine nature-also were ap-
proved.
Row Over Newton.

-pausing long enough, however, to
stage brisk row over the appoint
ment of Walter Newton, secretary te
former President Hoover, before per-
mitting him to take his post as q
Home Loan Bank director.
The Newton appointment was made
in keeping with promise which Pres
ident Roosevelt made to his predecessor

was that of w. Frank Persons, 3051
N street. who was named director Of
the newly-created Federal Employment

gether to approve them and push then
through the Senate in record breakini
time.
