Dean G. AtchesOn Is
New Undersecretary
OF u. S. Treasury
Montgomery County Man, Res
ident Of Sandy Spring, Named
AS WoOdin's Aide

Dean G. Acheson, of Sandy Spring
and prominent in the civic affairs of
that community and Montgomery
County, yesterday was selected to be
Under Secretary of the United States
Treasury to succeed Arthur A. Bal
lantine, resigned. Mr.. Acheson, who
moved here from Connecticut a few
years ago, is perhaps best known
locally as lawyer and as secretary
treasurer of the Montgomery County
Horse Show Association.
The nomination of this new official
probably will go to the Senate today.
Senator Tydings was consulted re-
garding Mr.. Acheson. inasmuch as
the appointee is to be charged to
Maryland, as was that of Summer
Welles, to be Ambassador to Cuba.
Mr.. Welles has summer home in
Prince Georges county.
Senator Tydings readily approved
the choice of Mr.. Acheson and will
urge that the nomination, when made,
be speedily confirmed by the Senate.
The Maryland Senator holds the APP
pointee in the highest esteem so much
so that he Endorsed him to be Solici-
tor General of the United States, a
post for which he was long consider
ed.
It is in the law that Mr.. Acheson
has distinguished himself. He is de-
scribed by his legal associates as hav-
ing an extraordinarily keen legal
mind. His experience in Federal
finance has been limited to a study of
intricate tax matters.
Mr.. Acheson, who is al years old
and the son of Bishop E. c. Acheson,
of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese
of Connecticut, took his academic de-
gree at Yale ia 1918 and his law de,
gree at Harvard four years later. He
came to Washington thirteen years
ago and shortly afterward was taken
into the law firm of Covington, Burl-
ing & Rublee. Judge j. Harry Cow
ington, head of this firm, was former
iy Congressman from the First Mary
land district and later chief justice of
the District Supreme Court.
A few years ago Mr.. Acheson
bought a place near Sandy Spring
and established a voting residence in
the State. He also has house in
Georgetown.
The Under Secretary of the Treas
ury is the fiscal expert of the Treas
ury establishment, an ex-officio direc-
tor of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and the closest adviser of
the Secretary of the Treasury.
Secretary Woodin was not person
ally acquainted with Mr.. Acheson
When the selection was made yester-
DAY. 1t is well understood that the
new official was picked largely upon
the recommendation of Lewis w.
douglas, Director of the Budget. Mr..
douglas and Mr.. Acheson are friends
of long standing.

NAVAL RESERVES
ORDERED TO BEGIN
INTENSE TRAINING
Roosevelt's Blu g e ii
Permits Full AviationJ
andNavy Preparations

WASHINGTON, June 25.-In line
with Roosevelt's policy of building
up the Navy forces at the greatest
speed to the full strength permitted
by the London Naval Treaty, the
Naval Reserve has just been au-
thorized by the Navy to institute
Summer Training with full pay for
9,411 officers and enlisted men.
In addition, Secretary Of the Navy,
Swanson, has authorized $50 officers
and 372 enlisted men to begin inn
mediate training in aviation at the
Naval Aviation Reserve bases thru
out the country. Special emphasis
is being laid on the aviation branch
of the service.
Roosevelt Vetoed Naval Cut.
These extra training periods have
been made possible by Roosevelt,s
vetoing of the cut in Naval Reserve
expenditures which had been voted
in Congress, Roosevelt raised the
Congressional appropriation of $780,
600 for the Naval Reserve to $780,
900
PlCoEihb OAOClo
termand orders issued early last
month providing for the cancellation
of summer training cruises
Roosevelt's Naval program is one
Of the largest in peacetime history,
providing for the building of 80 ex-
ira cruisers and deStroyers at an
estimated expense Of $3.50 ,000, 900,
in addition to the regular annual
appropriations of $3.50, 100000.
In contrast to these unrestricted
expenditures for the Navy are Roo
sevelt's wage cuts for Federal en-
ployees, cuts in veterans compen-
sation, and refusal to grant Federal
unemployment relief and Unem-
ployment insurance Roosevelt's cuts
in these items totals almost one bill
