Court VuconcV
Nomination Expected
Before Adjournment

Expectations last night were
that President Roosevelt will name
q Supreme Court justice for the
Van Devanter vacancy before Con-
gress adjourns. probably late next
week.
Based on the statement Of a
high Justice Department official
who suggested newspapermen "be
watchful' for the Presidents nomi-
nation, speculation was rife on
who might be named.
Speaking "off the record" the
official revealed consideration was
being given to geographical loca-
ton Of aspirantS, because there are
five justices on the Supreme Court
from the Atlantic coast.

I personally know some of the folks
that went and cut their names and
everything into our old beech there
and some were real good friends Of

others was acquainted with Grandpa

folks have come and gone by now,

The committee took the action
by strict party vote of 8 to 8,
after hearing Smell charge viola
ton of the corrupt practices act
which prohibits political contribu-
tons by corporations.
SCORES BOOK SALE
Chief among his complaints
was the sale of the Democratic
Book" issued in de luxe, leather
bound edition bearing the auto
graph of President Roosevelt. In
this connection he presented
photostatic copies of letters sent
to prospective buyers.
After submitting the letters,
Representative Smell declared:
my prayer to this committee,
briefly, is for such action as
will end for all time this dis
graceful and demoralizing po-
litical racketeering in the United
States.
The public records in the
Office of the Clerk Of the House

corporations already have con-
tributed illegally.
THREATS CHARGED
Evidence from many quarters
indicated that threats, intimida-
ton and coercion are the regu-
lar routine sales methods en-
ployed by agents of the Demo
cratic national committee in
soliciting individuals and cor
porations having business before
the several departments Of the
Federal Government.
I'm many cases, these threats
amount to bold demands closely
approaching, if not actually con-
shutting, political tribute for
the privilege of continuing cor
dial business relations with the
Government of the United
States.
"In all American history, no
political committee other than
Mr.. Farley's Democratic Ma
tional Committee ever has had
the effrontery to even attempt
such a device as the camou-
flaged sale of a book auto
graphed by the President of the
United States. The practice Is
manifestly unlawful, vicious,
and demoralizing."

functions of the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission, and various
other realignmentS were recon
mended to the Senate Govern
ment reorganization committee to
day by Brookings Institution.
Abolition of the office of Comp
troller of the Currency was based
on the conclusion that all the
duties of that office can be as
signed to other agencies with
closely related functions" and
that 1.-THE present pattern OF
banking and currency control is
imperfect"
CENTRAL EXAMINER
The report pointed out that
there are four bank examining
agencies when there is need of
only one" 1t added that the
division Of responsibility between
three agencies, which is obviously
the result Of historical accident
rather than any consistent plan,
makes for inefficiency.
The principal question at issue,
the report continued, is whether
the functions now performed by
the Comptroller Of the Currency,
the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpor-
alton should be performed by
three agencies, or two, or one"
The institution reported that
careful consideration to the ques-
ton Of consolidation was given
but that such a step would be
"long step toward a unified bank
ing system involving political and
economic issues more than admin
iStrative efficiency and economy,
to which the report is limited"
TRANSPORTATION CONTROL
The report further recon-
mended the concentration Of regu-
latory activities in the field Of
transportation in the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
A realignment and the abolish.
ment of unnecessary field sta
lions" under the Department Of
Agriculture was proposed.
IAN opportunity for direct
saving can be found by examin-
ing the numerous field stations
with a view to abolishing those
which are unnecessary to the ef-
ficient conduct OF its work." the
report added.
In the chapter on public works
and water resources, the report
said that wide diversity" Of their

such waste. The tank should be
emptied only into sewer connection
or by other approved methods OF
disposal provided by the commu-
nifty. When equipped with water
tanks for the use of the trailer
family, these tanks must be in
spected by an approved health au-
thority at intervals of six months,
so as to guarantee the portability
of the water. Regulations con-
corning parking, food supply, VEN
tilation, cleanliness and screening
also are included in this code.
Pasteurized milk is recommended
exclusively, although it seems to
me that this could be EXTENDED 10
such canned milks as evaporated,
Kim and Dryco.
An especial regulation which ap-
plies to trailer families, as it does
to any other family, is the neces-
sity for securing medical attention
if illness arises. 1 believe the trail
err family should be required to
have a certificate showing that
they all have been vaccinated
against smallpox, diphtheria and
typhoid fever.
The hazard which the trailer
family itself meets is the provision
of safe water and milk. Safe wa
ter is available along the high
ways in most states, and with rea-
sonable precautions this seldom
constitutes a problem, but the
trailer family must have some
guarantee that the water it obtains
is safe. The obtaining of safe
milk, while slightly more difficult,
offers no great hazard to the care
full purchaser.
American communities must
shortly take cognizance OF the
trailer element in our lives. Only
after provision and facilities have
been made for aiding their SANTA
ton, can regulations be enforced.

He said:
"FOr the first time a complete
