James A. Moffett of New York, who
q year ago quit s1oo,Ooo-a-year job

was named Housing Administrator by
President Roosevelt.
His task will be the direction OF
the program which contemplates the
expenditure of billions for construc-
ton and home repair through coop
Grafton between Government and prl-
yate industry.
The housing act is depended upon
by the Roosevelt administration TO
stimulate the heavy goods and con-
struction industries, whose feeble re-
sponse to recovery has been one OF
the chief worries of the President Tor
many months The selection of Moi
fett to direct the plan in itself is

serve on a Federal Petroleum Advisory
Board.
Moffett was vice president of the
Standard Oil concern at a 100000
annual salary He resigned it to take
the advisory post.
Teagle at that time was member
of the Industrial Advisory Board. He
held that the firm was well repre-
sented already in Federal advisory
capacities. But apparently the issue
went deeper, in that Moffett was an
enthusiastic supporter of the aims of
the New Deal.
Rejoined Firm.
Moffett later became a member OF
the Oil Coordination and Planning
Committee Officially, he still is a
member of that body, but he accept
ed a place as vice president of the
Standard Oil of California a short
time ago.
The $40, 900 that he Will receive as
Housing Administrator will represent
another sacrifice in pay.
A New Yorker, Moffett is 48. He is
recognized as one of the country S
outstanding authorities on oil prob
lens. Before quitting the Standard

years. His father was with the COM

FEDERAL AID RELIEVES
PENNSYLV LVANIA PROBLEM
$11 100000 Allotment Enables
State to Get Along Without
Special Session.
BY the Associated Press.

HARRISBURG, Pa, June 30
Pennsylvania's relief problem was
shelved today for another month, at
least, by allotment of Sl1,0OO,0OO to
the State by the Federal Relief Ad-
ministration for July needs.
The allotment, while s500.OOO below
the June grant, likewise removed the
possibility Of special session of the
Legislature for that period
There has been much talk during
the last month over rumors that the
Federal Government was considering
discontinuing Federal relief to Penn
syivania and that special session
would be necessary TO provide State
relief funds.
The Governor. while consistently re-
fusiEg to be drawn into the discussion
over the necessity of special session,
has said repeatedly he was hopeful"
that the Federal Government would
approve a long-term relief program to
carry the State through the emergency
until the next regular session of the
Legislature in January.

and has contributed to encyclopedias
as we'll
Much of his work and some Of his
writing dealt with laws relating TO
securities issues, particularly State
blue sky laws" With this experience
behind him he wrote the securities act
of 1888 and collaborated in the draft
ing of the present stock exchange law.
He was appointed to the Federal
Trade Commission last October. after
| assisting that agency fer several
months in the administration of the
securities act.
Lands is slight Of stature. sharp
eyes peer out from beside a slightly
aquiline nose. He speaks with a firm
ness and clarity which many con-
gressional committees have found con-
Vinclng.
George c. Matthews, is already ex-
perienced in the little-developed field
which now claims his services.
Wisconsin several years ago enacted
such law to guard against the flo-
tation of worthless securities and put
him in charge of its administration.
He came to Washington as a men,
Der of the Federal Trade Commission
and was placed at the head of the
istration of the Federal securities law
of 1888
The administration Of that act is
transferred by the new stock eX-
change law to the exchange commits
sion and it vas expected that Mat
theWs would continue with the work
he has done as a member of the
Trade Commission.
He was born in Madison. Wis, in
1886. graduated from the University
of Wisconsin in 1908, did graduate
work and served as an assistant on
the university faculty. For two years
he was an instructor at the Oregon
State Agriculture College.
Since then, he has served as a
rate investigator for the Wisconsin
Railroad Commission and has done
much statistical work in connection
with other public utilities.
He is a Republican.
Robert E Healy is a Vermont Re-
publican of liberal tendencies. He he's
gained a reputation in the investi-
cation OF public utilities which the
Trade Commission has conducted for
the past six years. Probably no man
in the country is more familiar with
the complexity of financial operations
OF public utility companies and partic-
ularly does he know the technicalities
of holding companies
This training gives him a back
ground for studying proposed new is
sues and the sale of existing issues,
the job of the new commission.

Ferdinand Pecora is swarthy son
of Italy with gift for language and
a talent for trapping witnesses into

His reputation was made in the
field of prosecution and although his
new duties will be of different type
in many ways, the commission is
vested with numerous quasi judicial
powers and authority to conduct in
vestigations.
1t was, perhaps, with a thought to
this, and to Pecoras ability as a
croSs-eXaminer. proved in the long
Senate investigation of Wall Street
practices, that Mr.. Roosevelt chose
him for a place on the commission.
Long before Pecora came to Wash

ing attorneys. For ten years he
served as Assistant District Attorney

Burden Under ESTIMATES.
"The arguments in favor of the bill
are as follows:
"(a) The actual burden on the
railroads caused by enforced con-
tributions will be far less than their
figures would indicate.
"(b) Superannuated employees will
retire under the new pension plan
and, though a considerable number OF
these older men will not be replaced,
many others will be replaced by other
employees. The net result will be to
improve the morale of the entire
force
"(c) The bill is in line with sound
social policy.
I'D The bill provides for the crea-
ton of board which will have the
duty of accumulating all necessary
data and recommending changes
which would put the system on an
adequate and permanent basis.
After a careful weighing of the
advantages and disadvantages to the
country l have come to the deliberate
conclusion that I should approve the
