ming not far behind among those
who like to speculate over success
sion to Mr.. Cummings is the po-
liticaly and legally acute Joseph B.
keenan,, now The Assistant to the
Attorney General.
In more ways than one, Mr.. Jack
son and Mr.. keenan, bear important
resemblance to each other and pos
sess comparable qualifications OF
availability.
Born In the farm country of Penn
sylvania, Robert Jackson lived much
of his life in upper New York State
and is now known politically as a
New Yorker Getting his legal edu-
cation at Albany Law School, he
launched his career at the bar in
Buffalo, shortly after moved to
jamestown and built a substantial
practice there.
Among his clients were both cor
porations and individuals, but the
young-looking attorney has left no
doubt in the minds of Washington
observers as to his liberal out
look.
MY legal experience, in fact, made
me a liberal" Mr.. Jackson explains
LAS attorney for banks, I saw the
manner in which country banks
we're wrecked by the bonds sold them
by alleged big business. I refused
to believe the bunk of speakers sent
out by big business to address local
chambers of commerce and other
f1ag-waving organizations"
In his Treasury capacity, Mr.
Jackson was particularly active in
supporting New Deal tax legislation
appearing at the Capitol to urge
approval of levies aimed at some OF
the giant accumulations of wealth
just as later he appeared to urge
approval of the Presidents court
reform proposals.
In 1896 he became Assistant At
torney General and in 1887 took
over direction of the antitrust
division. Through all of these posts

to prepare and argue his cases be-

the New Deal in good stead.
A smoking blast last autumn
against monopolistic practices of
American business and the accom-
panying concentration of wealth
brought Mr.. Jackson his largest por-
ton of notoriety or fame depend

AS cabinet officers, only minority
of the 10 were vital cogs in the New
Deal as such as the chameleon-like
brain trust and special administra-
tors took over the job of applying
some of the major governmental eX-
periments.
Even so, Washington was becom-
Ing more nearly the seat of Amer
lean Government than it had been
for many years and the very tide of
the times brought an inevitable in
activities Of the old-line depart
ments.
To these duties, most of them en-
erely unfamiliar, the 10 fitted their
peculiar talents with varying apti-
tudes. Perhaps more time is needed
to appraise correctly their conduct
IN their jobs; some probably have
been good cabinet officers, some less
good. Except for deaths removal
Of two, however, there had been no
break in their ranks until the an
nouncement this month of the resig-
nation Of Homer S. Cummings as
Attorney General.
Back of this front line of the
cabinet there has been much more
rapid fluctuation in personnel as
Assistant Secretaries, many of them
men of outstanding ability, dipped
in and out Of Government service or
In few cases moved up to higher
administration posts.
Among these latter was Harry H.
Woodring, who was graduated from
Assistant to Secretary of War when
George H. Dern died. The other
vacancy caused by death, that of
Secretary of Treasury William H.
Woodin, was filled by drafting Henry
Morgenthau, jr, from his post as
Governor of the Farm Credit .Ad-
ministration.
Moving along from the under
cabinet jobs have been Rex Tug
well, once Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture, to become a business
executive; Joseph C. O'Mahoney,
once First Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral, to become Senator from Wy
oming; Ed McGrady, Assistant Sec
retary of Labor, to an executive
position in the radio industry; Ar
thur j. Altmeyer, Second Assistant
Secretary of Labor, to the chair
manship of the Social Security
Board; Stanley Reed, Solicitor Cen
eral in the Department of Justice,
to membership in the Supreme
Court, and others.
Behind these men have come 9TH

men in the permanent departments.

hand, the availability of these Wheel
horses embraces no certainty that
any such vacancies as may occur
shall be filled by them; political and
other considerations have unpre-
dictable effect in such matters All
Of them, however, have other claims
to public attention than their mere
availability.
Because there definitely looms a
vacancy as head man at the De-
partment of Justice, most of today S
conversation over cabinet possibili-

! sons active interest In naval matters
has continued since that period.
At a time when renewed emphasis
in America is being placed on the
strengthening of naval armaments,
Mr.. Edison is particularly in SYM
pathy with the job to be done at the
department.
Amid the tremendous uncer-
tainties in the world today, the
United States must not fail to be
strong" he declares gravely. ITO in
crease the strength of the Navy is to
take the one most effective means of
preserving peace. The Navy is the
best and most economical form of
insurance against aggression that the
American people could possibly buy"
When Congress last year author
iZed, at the request of President
Roosevelt, one of the greatest naval
building programs ever contemplate
ed by the United States. Assistant
Secretary Edison was delegated by
Secretary Swanson to coordinate
this effort with a view to saving
both time and money in its compile
ton.
$50 far" Mr.. Edison reported re-
Gently, that coordination has taken
certain practical forms-reducing as
far as possible all changes during
construction, rushing a program for
modernizing and expanding navy
yard facilities, including machine
tools: canvassing the facilities of the
commercial field in order to utilize
every possible asset toward the COM
pletion of our building program and
to increase sources of supply, acquir-
ing stock piles of strategic and criti-
cal materials, improving contract
terms and continuing fair standards
of labor management"
In short, when the big Navy Is
built none will be better acquainted
with its ingredients than the man
already holding important Office in
the department.
Naturally. all conversations about
preparedness have not involved the
Navy Department without affecting
its companion agency, the War De-
partment. And by the same token,
the rumors of shift in top man
have spread over to the department
now headed by Harry Woodring. In
any event, even if such rumors are
no more than that, which seems
likely since no resignation follows,
the War Department is possessed of
an energetic and ambitious Assist
ant Secretary, Col. Louis johnson.

military affairs are freely given, is a
native of Roanoke and was educated

Although crystal gazing, In so far
as 1t contemplates foreseeing
changes of ownership Of cherished
political Offices, is not one of the
more dependable occupations, there
seems sufficient ground for belief
that resignation is not far distant
in the Navy Department. Well along

many months. To the Assistant
