Sept. 23 "A More Changes in Principal Appointive Offices , .. . Likely "Soon : (Continued from pace 1) wept away two entire ittte boards game and liquor and appointed men of bis own choos ing:. In less than a month a dem ocrat had been Installed as state purchasing1 agent, despite the re publican majority on the board of control, and before the legislators hady gone home a state utilities comhiiSFloner- who had at least beendiligent and rigorous in per forming his duties, had walked plank.. Long before the end of the year republicans had been re placed by democrats in the offices of banking superintendent, cor poration commissioner and insur ance commissioner, and a horde of democrats had mored into lesser Jobs around the old eapitol. The appointment of Lloyd B. Smith as corporation commission er last week to succeed James Hazlett was the first change of he Sprague administration ln- - Yolving an- involuntary resigna tion, aside from members of the governor's "official family." The utilities commissioner change was dictated by the serious illness and Toluntary resignation of the in cnmbenL But the chances are that there will be further changes In the near future. The term of Mark Skinner, superintendent of banks. expires October 1 and a change Is certain, though this office is un der control of the banking board whose personnel is the same as that of the board of control. Cspitol gossip is to the effect that Hugh Earle, Insurance com missioner, is slated to go soon and that Earl Tumy of Medford Is llke- ly to be his successor. Speculation continues as to the possibility of change in the office of state for ester, which Is controlled by the board of forestry. There is a great deal of chuck ling over the indignant public let ter Of resignation submitted by Allan D. Greenwood, aeronautics Inspector, for not only was his ap - pointment political but the 14200 Jobf itself is a creature of politics and the best guess is that it will be abolished. Federal inspectors perform virtually the same func tion, and a low-salaried clerk would be able to Ho what essential .work Is connected with the office.

Runs Into Car Laura Alfcm, S, 1397 North Sth sustained minor head bruises when she ran against the side of a car near her home late last That a new high in motor car safety, strength, styling and com fort has been reached with the development of the new "uni steel" turret top bodies for the Buick Super and Roadmaster was declared today by officials of the Fisher Body division of General Motors simultaneously with the announcement of the Buick line for 1940. Approaching the long - sought compromise between the theoret ically desirable and the practical application of streamlining to mo tor car design; the new bodies show a further improvement in aerodynamic form, besides offer ing added vision, roominess and protection for the occupants. From the sloping V-type wind shield, set at an angle of 44 de grees, to the tapered back of the trunk, the body presents a prac tically unbroken, gently curving surface designed to offer a mini mum of wind resistance. Hinges are fully concealed, while such necessary protruberances as the door handles are faired into the structure. Even the safety plate glass in the enlarged back win dow is curved to conform to the flowing contour. The new bodies are seven inches longer, and lack only a fraction of an inch of being five feet across at the center pillar. As might be expected, the doors are wider, making It possible to incorporate in them the front and rear ventipanes of the Fisher no draft ventilation system. Interior safety catch handles are provided on the rear doors. When the rotary locking lever is depressed, the inside door han dle can be' turned through a 90 degree are, but will not operate the latch. This eliminates the pos sibility of opening the door ac cidentally, as might be the case if a child in losing his balance were to grasp the remote control handle. - night.
