FEDERAL PLUMS DUE
JO FALL IN MONTH
McIYary and Stanfield Busy
With Recommendations.
JOB IS QUITE BIG ONE
(There Is Really No Ilnrrj, How"
ever, About Making Selections,
Except in Candidates' Hinds.
Within a month. Senators McNary
knd Stanfield are expected to have the
federal appointments ready for rec
cmmendatioa. Of course, there may
be a hitch or two, and the delay may
te a little longer.. There Is really no
hurry about making the selections
knd the only ones who are eager for
a display of speed are the chaps who
are working- for the jobs.
Senator Stanfield said, when in
Portland, that the matter of natron
age would not be formally discussed
until atter congress started. Con
Kress has started so the next thing
Is for Senator McNary and Senator
Stanfield to compile a list of all of
the applicants and then assort the
accompanying testimonials and rec
ommendations.
Candidate Baa 800 Letters.
One canditdate for United States
knarshall Is said to have 600 letters in
bis behalf. This sounds pretty skoo
kum, but another candidate for the
same appointment has caused TOO let
ters to be written. One thing the
campaign for federal jobs has done is
to increase the sale of postage stamps
and strengthen the market in sta
tionery.
Having assorted the applicants for
ach position, the senators will see a
series of mountains on the desk, if
they can find a tabletop large and
spacious enough to carry some 200
heaps of letters and applications.
Then will start the game of picking
the winners. So far aa known, the
two senators are not of one mind for
any individual for any job. In other
words, while most applicants think
they have the support of both sen
ators, most of them have the support
of neither and only a very limited
tew have the backing of either.
Seaaloa la to Be Held.
Because things are as they are. the
senators will engage in a session
which would make the average mem
ber of the diplomatic corps look like
rank amateur. First each senator
will have to feel out bis colleague on
each of the several score of candi
dates. It will not take long for the
senators to agree that about two
thirds of the applicants can be tossed
into the discard, and when this has
been accomplished, and the field nar
rowed down to the possibilities, the
senators will endeavor to get in their
fine work.
It 'has been said that .the three
bouse members will be invited to sit
la. but the representatives in congress
are not particularly anxious to m so.
This patronage, outside of the small
stuff in the postoffice line, goes to
the senators and the representatives
mar consider that it is a thankless
task to vote for or against applicants
in whom they are not personally in-
t.rMltd. If It comes to a snow
down, however, and the senators
annt find someone on whom to com
nmmise. then the representatives may
step In. but otherwise the house mem
bers are not expected to vote. At
least, this Is the way the situation Is
figured out In local political circles.
and Cranston Hoeg will sing and play
bis own accompaniment.
Miss Helen Herner will read. Re
freshments will be served. To make
reservations phone Woodlawn 2680 or
Marshall 8511.
