Approval by Senate
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
| Quick Senate approval appeared
in prospect today for President
Roosevelt's latest nominations te
high administration posts.
H Both Republicans and Democrats
applauded the selection Of Guy M
Gillette, their former colleague, for
the Surplus War Property Board
Senator Austin Of Vermont, ranking
minority member of the Military
Affairs Committee, said he doubted
any hearings would be held.
/ I'VE all know him and his back
ground" Senator Austin COM
mented.
Mr.. Gillette. 55-year-old Iowa
Democrat, was defeated for re-
election last fall. With Senate con-
firmation, he viii join former Gov.
Robert A. Hurley of Connecticut
and 1t. Col. Edward H. Heller Of
San Francisco, who were confirmed
last session after a sharp Senate
debate, on the Surplus Property
Board The members will supervise
disposal Of possibly 100000, 900 900
worth of surplus war plants and
property-and draw $4,000 year
salary.
Likewise, no criticism was heard of
the nomination of Harry D. White,
So, to be Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury. "a former economics pro-
fessor, Mr.. White has been with the
Treasury 10 years and presently is
assistant to Secretary Morgenthau.
Some Republicans were critical Of
the nomination Of Paul A. Porter,
Democratic publicity chief during
last years campaign, to be men,
Der of the Federal Communications
Commission.
"It seems a pity that one who has
been so prominently identified with
partisan activity should be ap-
pointed to a semijudicial post" COM
mented Senator Brooks, Republican,
of Illinois.
However, there was no indication
the Republicans would make an or
ganized fight against the nomina-
ton, which the Interstate Com
merce Committee will consider Mon
day. Mr.. Porter, 4o-year-old for
mer newspaperman, now is serving
on the FEC under an interim ap-
pointment.
