FOUMDnp 1651 EIGHTY-FIRST YEAR Salem, Oregon, Thursday Morning, February 4, 1932 No. 26 Mellon Quits Cabinet To be Ambassador to London; Mills Named Veteran Secretary of Treasury Goes out After 11 Years Successor Already one Of key men in the Administration WASHINGTON, Feb. 3 (AP) -After 11 years as secretary of the treasury under three presi dents, Andrew W. Mellon Is to hand over his portfolio to Under Secretary Ogtfen L. Mills and be come ambassador to the court of Ft. James. . President Hoover announced to night that the veteran cabinet of ficer who has guided the nation's financial policies since the begin ning of the Harding administra tion has expressed his willingness to serve in the foreign field. He suceeds Charles Gates Dawes, who resigned last month to become president of the recon struction corporation. For almost two weeks Mr. Mel lon, who I3 nearly 77, has been considering undertaking the na tion's most Important diplomatic post, but it was not until tonight that the White House formally announced his acceptance. Decision is Made Late Wednesday Earlier in the day the secretary had smilingly admitted under questioning that he had been ask ed by President Hoover to become ambassador, but he hesitated be cause of the physical strain it would impose upon him. He said also his personal affairs caused him to go slow In leaving at this time. It is known that late in the day he had not reached his decision and It is assumed that be trans mitted his acceptance directly to the president by telephone. Immediately thereafter, the president, through one of his se cretaries announced the appoint ment, asserting "the critical situ ation facing all countries in their international relations, the mani fold economic and other problems demanding wise solution in our national interests, calls for ex perience and Judgment of the highest order." J Confirmation in Benate Assured The change marking the third break in the Hoover cabinet dur ing his three year regime, is ex pected to take effect very Boon. Senate confirmation for Mr. Mel lon in his London post and for Mr. Mills, a former New York repre sentative in the house, has al ready been freely predicted in the senate. Mr. Mills has been one of the key-men of the administration since Its formation, and particu larly during the last year when economic problems have been up permost in the mind of President Hoover has he been a constant ad visor. Seldom has a move dealing with the nation's finances been made recently without Mr. Hoover first consulting the under secretary.

Senator .NEW YORK, Feb. 3 (AP) When Governor Ju lius L. Meier of Oregon com pletes his term in 1933, he is going back to his depart ment store in Portland, he said today. He has had just a little over a year of politics, but it is enough to make him decide he likes business bet ter.
