Departments 10 Learn
Moving Decision Soon
BY the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. June a.
Members of the Board of Public
Works don't expect to win any
popularity contests among certain
State department heads, after next
Wednesdays meeting.
On that day the board must de-
cid finally and irrevocably which
departments must move from Balti-
more to Annapolis in September
and prevent the new State Once
Building there from becoming a
million-dolla white elephant.
Vigorous and continued protests
from the departments slated to 90
in the boards first list. recently
announced, forced a change in orig
lnal plans. a source close to the
public works unit explained
Heads of the Parole Department
Livestock Sanitary Service and
Bureau of Mines thus far have sue
ceeded in convincing the board that,
for various reasons. they should not
be moved to Annapolis.
Now the board must decide which
departments must replace them. In
addition. Gov. o OConor. Controller j
Millard Tawes and Treasurer Hooper
S. Miles, who comprise the board.
must heed or ignore sportsmen's s
objections to transfer of the State

Political implications
Seen in Choice Of
Jones, Carmody
One Conservative Texun,
Other On Energetic
New Dealer

Significant political implications
were seen today in President Roose-
velt's selection of Jesse H. Jones,
R. F. c. chairman. as head of the
new Federal Loan Agency.
First of these was the probability
that appointment of the Texan,
widely hailed as an able and con-
servative financier, would make the
Congress less apprehensive about
authorizing the new spending lend
ing program.
Second was the apparent continu-
ance of close relationship between
the President and one of the most
influential of the Texas Democrats
Since Mr.. Jones also is a close as
sociate of Vice President Garner,
candidate for the Democratic presi-
dental nomination in 1910, the
1910 political power of the fnancier
may be further enhanced by his key
position in the Government lending
field.
Energetic New Dealer.
1t also is considered significant
that for the head of the new Federal
Works Agency. Mr.. Roosevelt select
ed one of the most vigorous and
energetic New Dealers available
among the experienced executives
in Washington. With speed and
continuity essential to the works
program if it is to be effective in
increasing employment during the
coming II months, friends predict
that the designated chairman. John
M. Carmody now r. E. A. admin
istrator, will not permit any begging
down.
In personality, the two men differ
considerably.
Legends about Mr.. Jones are al
most as numerous in the Capital as
the Texans own fund of stories.
They say, for instance, that he
pulled of his shoes and toasted his
toes at Buckingham Palace shortly
after the World War, and was found
in this informal position by King
George V and President Wilson.
His personal story has a poor boy
makes good theme. Born on a farm
in Robertson County, Tenn. he
started his business career driving
a laundry wagon in Dallas. A later
job found him stacking lumber in
a lumber yard Now, for sentimental
reasons, he owns both a laundry and
lumber yard, not to mention a
bank, and newspaper in Houston.
Carmody Little Known.
In contrast to Mr. Jones, Mr.. Car
mody is one of the least known
among the higher executives of the
administration
He is secretive about his age. but
friends estimate it at about 81. A
native of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Car
mody spent most of his pre-New
Deal days as management expert
for various steel and merchandising
companies.
Friends say ne is little known in
Washington society because after he
leaves his office he spends most of
his nights studying documents at
his home or answering telephone
calls from subordinates whom he
encourages to call him at home,
when necessary.
A few years ago. however, he
was introduced to group of Gov
ernment employees practicing square
dances, and his ardent participation
IN this activity has been one of his
principal social attainments since
then.
He came to Washington as men,
Der of the original National Labor
Board, which later was transformed
into the present National Labor Re-
lationS Board.
