DIRECTOR
 NEEDED BY STATE
FO m en Voters Suggest
 Consideration of Quali- fled Successor to Marsh

A letter urging the appointment
 6 special examining committee to ecoannnend . list of names for the osition of personnel director was Bnt to Governor Baldwin today by be board of the Connecticut League { Women Voters. The leagues let er pointed out the high reQuire- lents for the director which are set D in the law, and suggested that D making his selection, the commit ee and the governor go outside the tatA If necessary in order to secure
 properly trained person for this Position. The letter, which was igned by Miss Katharine Luding- on. league president, follows:
 ''The Connecticut League of Women Voters is greatly interested in the choice of a successor to Harry Marsh, whose resignation as personnel director has caused such widespread regret throughout tie state.
 w AA0VO AOVOSAy WAtAA &AAuCAI HpS preciation, that you favor the ap- pointinent of . special examining committee to recommend a list of names for the position, and we are confident that this method will re- suit in the selection of director who will meet the high require- ments set up in the state law.
 We trust that in making the se- lection the committee and you yourself will go outside the state, if necessary, in your search for the right person. Connecticut has made 8 notable start in setting up a true merit system in It's civil serv- ice appointments and its experi- ence and accomplishments are being watched with interest in every part of this country. Our state Is entitled to the most out- standing expert who can be found to build on the sound foundations already laid"

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Hartford, Conn, March 14- (UP)-A major reshuffling of leading figures iz1 the Connecticut Republican party is underway. New top-flight directors are scheduled to appear, yet an un- common, uneasy quiet prevails within the party.
 Is 1t the quiet before the storm? It is hard to tell. Will a struggle soon develop between the soc called old guard and the new era Republicans now in control? Everyone in high-ranking posi- tions is wary, cagy about saying anything.
 one thing is known: Gov. Ray mond E. Baldwin will not make peace with the Old Guard-unless 1t is on his terms.
 Whoever succeeds State Chair man B. Harwood, if anyone does, mtst have the okay of the gov- ernor.
 Whoever succeeds National Committeeman Samuel ?. Pryor, Jr., if anyone does,, first must get the nod from the governor. And Pryor may be drafted for reelec- tion, despite their determined reiterations they want to retire. The new era Republicans are in, and they are going to fight to stay in.
 Sources close to Pryor are say ings
 'Sam Is mot quitting politics. If he retireS as National Committee man, he will still be . major fac- tor bheind the scenes. Whoever succeeds him will be favorable to him. He will continue tO be Gov. Baldwin's chief advisor"
 And there are other of Pryor's friends who say he may have leading Job on the Republican National Committee before long. And if there is Q Republican vic- tory in the fall, he may be in the presidential cabinet.
 Look for activity to begin towards the end of Che month, when Harwood returns from . F1OeidA vacation. The dates for the party spring caucuses and conventions then are going to be set, and names of candidates for state chairman ana national Coim- xnitteeihan will be trial- -ballOoned, as some already have been.
 But if none of them go over, both Harw0od and Pryor may remain where they are, even though they want to quit. That would make Gov. Baldwin happy, because he doesn't want to see either 0f them go.
 There are stronger rllm0rs that Clarence Willard, former New Haven leader, Is working towards . comeback. He never has beem popular with the new era section Of Che party and they may try to buck him.
 Twice within the past few days William J. Pape, Waterbury party leader, has been in conference with the governor. With hina once was Warren Upson, town chair man, who said he would retire Ehis spring. The Pape- Epson forces have been reported as cool to the leadership oa Gov. Baldwin. for some time, but, observers now are asking, has there been . change for the bcttef3

Fine Compliment

"As Desirable as the First
Kennewick Strawberries" is the
heading used in a large display ad
in the Yakima Herald for the
Avenue Clothiers yesterday. Rath-
er a neat compliment for the
kennewick product is still in the
minds Of the people in the West.
The caption was accompanied
by a picture of a tipped hallock of
berries-and the strange feature
of 1t all was the fact that the
berries really looked like the IA
nous old Clark Seeding berries,
upon which Kennewick made its
reputation.
