Senator Knowland. who acted
as chief spokesman, said Gen.

Procedure Followed Recently.
Senator Taft said that actually
this procedure had been followed
recently. though he remarked
that perhaps at the very outset
there had been some departures.
The Ohio Senator had been
particularly irked at the appoint
ment of Martin P. Durkin, a
Democrat and an American Fed
Grafton of Labor official, to be
Secretary of Labor. having called
the selection incredible" when
it was sprung unexpectedly on
Congress. Senator Taft said to-
day. however, that he was not
going to oppose Mr.. Durkin's
confirmation.

started off a day in which the
President-elect scheduled a
meeting with more than a score
of his top advisors in and out
of Congress to review the job
ahead.

Under the agreement. jobs
such as postmasterships. for ex-
ample. will be cleared either
through Senators or members
of the House directly concerned,
if it happens that there are no
Republican members of Con-
gresS in the States where ap-
pointments are being made
then the Republican Party lead
ers-the State chairmen-are
expected to have the say.
Senator Knowland explained
that some of the uncertainty
over the job situation arose from
the fact that there was not a
Republican member of the Sen
ate who had ever served under
a Republican President.
After the patronage confer
ence. the President-elect dis

Mr.. Brown said that actually

Hoover Commission had not
had the right to go into the

thought this was shortcoming
that should be remedied in the
