Several cabinet officers haze SUBJ
mitted letters OF resignation 10
President Roosevelt, it was disclosed
today by Stephen T. Early. White
House secretary, but at this time no
changes are contemplated in the
immediate official family of the
Chief Executive.
Mr.. Early declined to reveal the
names of those who had offered to
relinquish their cabinet posts, de-
scribing their action as being a
formality in keeping with custom.
He pointed out that members OF
the cabinet are named by the Presi-
dent without time limit and are
eligible to remain in Office as long
as their service is mutually satis-
factory.
The single exception, ne con-
tinued, is that of the Postmaster
General, an administrative post,
for which the law requires
new appointment at the beginning
of each presidential term. In this
case, Mr.. Early said, the reappoint-
ment of Frank c. Walker probably
would be sent to the Senate within
a few days. Mr.. Walker had an en-
gagement to see the President at
the White House today.
Several weeks ago Secretary Of
the Interior Ickes announced pub
llcly that he was submitting a let
ter OF resignation for whatever
action the President may determine.
There has been no indication. how.
ever. that Mr. Roosevelt will per-
NIT Mr.. Ickes to leave his post. Mr..
1ckes, Secretary of State Hull and
Secretary Of Labor Perkins are the
only present cabinet members who
have served throughout the pre-.
vious eight years of the New Deal.

expressed himself this morning as
