SECURITY BOARD
LIST GIVEN SENATE
President Presents Names
for Patronage Jobs for
Confirmation.

The Senate today got Its long
awaited chance to pass on the patron
age jobs in the Social Security Board
when President Roosevelt nominated
for reappointment all the incumbent
experts and attorneys getting $4,000
or more annually.
The 1888 appropriation for the So
cial Security Board, to which the
President already has objected, makes
all these upper-bracket positions sub
tect to nomination by the President
and confirmation by the Senate.
Heretofore the appointive power has
been vested in the board itself, but
the Senate Appropriations Committee,
irked by the personnel methods of
the board. insisted on the change, and
tied up the independent Offices bill for
weeks until the House would agree to
an amendment to carry it out.
President Roosevelt has advised
unWiSe, and that it would be better
to put the positions under civil service.
There are 50 involved.
