A solemn promise to give the Dis
trict a business-like administration,
devoid of topsy-turvy changes in or
ganization and personnel of the munich
pal government. was made today by
George E. Allen as he prepared to move
into one of the Offices at the District
Building to be vacated by Brig. Gen,
Herbert B. Crosby and DR.. Luther H.
Reichelderfer the Hoover-appointed
Commissioners.
Visibly excited by the honor that has
been bestowed upon him by President
Roosevelt, Allen spent most of the day
making arrangements to take the oath
of Office and cleaning up his business
affairs with the former Wardman prop
critics in Washington, which he has
managed for the last five years.
Allen, a personable young man of 38,
athletic in stature, and possessing fine
sense of humor, was reluctant to talk
about District affairs until he takes
Office and has had ample opportunity
to study the multifarious problems that
circle around the head of a Commits
sioner-fiscal relations, police, fire,
traffic, budgets, tax assessments, tax
rates and numerous allied subjects.
To Study Personnel.
Frankly, Allen admitted he is not
particularly well yerSed on District

average business man. He has learned
a lot. however, in the five years he has
lived in Washington. and appears to be

confident OF his ability to master the
situations that arise to plague Com
missioner.
One thing Is certain-Allen is not
going to take Office with a preconceived
idea of tearing things loose. In fact,
he plans to make thorough study OF
the existing organization before any
thing at all Is done about personnel
changes.
There will be no sweeping, whole
sale changes" he said. And certainly,
there will be no changes at all until
have had time to study the set-up Of the
municipal establishment"
Appreciates Honor.
Aside from that, Allen had little to
say about District affairs.
"Of course" he added, II appreciate
greatly the honor which has come to
me and the confidence the President
has evidenced in the appointment. I
hope to justify that confidence by do
ing a good job"
Incidentally, he paid tribute to the
retiring Commissioners, Gen Crosby and
DR.. Reichelderfer. saying they must
have done a splendid job" otherwise
the President would not have left them
in Office such long time after April
8, last.
Allen was In New York attending a
hotel mems convention when his ap-
pointmert was announced at the White
House. He took the first southbound
train and arrived in Washington late
