(AP) A host of nominations sub mitted by President Coolidge in the last days of his administra tion 'including that of his -secretary of navy, Curtis D. Wilbur, to be a federal circuit Judge of Cali fornia, went' into the discard to night when the senate declined to act upon them. In its last executive session, the senate disposed of a number of nominations for the Judiciary and other federal offices, but those of Wilbur, former Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin, and former Tariff Commissioner Glassie were not called up. ' Failure of the senate to act ren ders the nominations Ineffective and Mr. Hoover, after he becomes president must resubmit names for these posts. No one in a posi tion to speak with authority could say whether the new executive would send back names submitted by his predecessor. 1 U ' .
