WASHINGTON. April 3-(P)
Capitol Hill awaited a bit
nervously today the appoint

many months 10 hold the ma

The nomination of Fred NJ.
Vinson to succeed James F.
Byrnes as Director of War Mob

While Senator Brewster Or
Me- said the finance committee
would call Vinson to the capitol
for some questioning, there was
every indication of speedy con-
firmation.
The only concern was evil
denced on the score of his sue
ceSSor.
Chairman George (D-Ga) Of
the Finance committee told re-
porters he hoped President
Roosevelt would send up the
name of a man "of the same
splendid qualification as Judge
Vinson."
Senator Butler (R-Neb) said
he hoped the nominee would be
"a man qualified by experience
and in whom the entire country
can have confidence"
Butler also expressed hope
that Byrnes might seek to "cure
some of the weaknesses Of the
New Deal" as a private lawyer.
While the name of Leo T.
Crowley, Foreign Economic Ad-
ministrator, was m n t ! o n e q
along with many others in their
speculation on a successor, all
Senators emphasized 1t was
strictly guesswork.
AS matter of fact, the sudden
announcement of Byrnes' resig-
nation caught the lawmakers
completely by surprise. They
had expected him to hang on
until We Day.

ed Vinson to the loan job just
a few weeks ago, the Senate
