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.

Meier Won't Run
For Second Term
Or U. S. 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. No lure of political fame
in the senate, where many
governors go, will make any
difference in his decision,
he asserted. j
He has just seen the sen
ate, incidentally, in Wash
ington, where he went to
appear before the board of
army engineers and urge
federal development of the
Columbia river.

The two men perpetrated the

Statesman Again First With the
News in Serving the Salem Field
EABXT Wednesday rooming, before the milk mam was astir,
sad Jost after midnight workers had retired. The States
man's special Associated Press leased wire besjaa to carry
spot news of a catastrophe In Santiago, Cuba.
The severe earthquake occurred at 1:15 a. m.; news of the
event was being flashed into The Statesmaa office across
continent ahead of the sun's dash across the continent.
As a result when this paper went to press at 2 a. m. It
carried 800 words of bulletined news on this disaster. No Port
land morning paper serving this area had a word- on the dis
aster; only The Statesman provided Salem readers with this
great news. ,
The Cuban disaster service Is not unique; very often The
Statesman, going to press at 2 a. m. long after shipped-ln edi
tions of other papers have started to Salem, gives readers the
latest developments when other papers hare nothing on them.
The same spot coverage on wire news applies, to. local af
fairs; thus If you want a complete, np-to-the-minute morning
paper in Salem, there's only one answer t The Statesman!
