BRIEF OI FK'IAI. LIFE
FOR SEC COMMISSIONER
WASHINGTON. May 13. John W.
Hanes has been gazetted Under-Secretary
of the treasury, the Lord help
htm. If the plan goes through, the
shrewd and genial SEC commissioner
will find himself Installed In an of
fice where the ghosts of tortured
predecessors shriek and gibber be
' hind every curtain.
Somehow or other. Jobs In the
treasury seem to be the blnck aces
of the New Deal. Professor O. M. W.
Sprague was lured from his peace
ful authority at the Bank -of Eng
land, only to be put in the coldest
Coventry In Washington. Professor
George Warren deserted his Cornell
chicken-coops to manage the dollar,
and soon wished himself back among
the hens. And omy the other day,
Mr. Jacob Vlner, one of the ablest
economists who ever served the gov
ernment, shook the treasury' mol
derlng dust from hts feet with the
remark :
"I'm tired of the Job and I don't
liko tho way things are run here."
But if economists have a hard time
at the treasury, under-secretaries
4 must be prepared to face a regular
administrative Inferno. Why it should
be. no one knows, unless it Is be
cause of the president's Insistence
on running the treasury In his own
way. The record simply shows that
an under-secretary's lot Is not a
happy one, and that Is all there Is
to It.
Oddly enough, the first man to
serve the New Deal as under-secre-tary
of the treasury was the Re
publican stalwart. Arthur Ballan
tlnc, as a hold-over from the Hoover
era. He stayed on through the first
days of the 1633 banking collapse,
and departed as soon as the crisis
was over. And of all the men who
have held the post In the Roosevelt
administrations, he was the only
man except Henry Morgenthau to
leave It in peace, with a contented
heart.
The post's first real victim was
one of the best public officials ever
recruited by the president Dean G.
Acheson. Acheson seemed to have
every qualification for the Job. He
. was Intelligent, liberal, agreeable.
" well acquainted with the highways
and by ways of finance, finely equip
ped to handle difficult economic
problems.
Unhappily, his most difficult
problems were not so much economic
as personal. In those days, the presi
dent was running the treasury him
self even more than he does now.
and in such informal fashion that
Acheson received at least one vitally

COMMITTEE VOTES
FOR TABLING OF
NYE RESOLUTION
17 to 1 Action Seen As Tan

WASHINGTON, May 13. (AP)
The senate foreign relations commit
tee voted, 17 to 1. today to table
the Nye resolution which would lift
the embargo on United States ship
ment of arms to the Spanish gov
ernment. It acted after Secretary
Hull opposed action at this time.
Chairman Pittman (D,, Nev.) ol
the foreign relations committee, said
the commitiea's action meant action
on the Nye resolution had been
"postponed indefinitely." This usu
ally is tantamount to killing a res
olution. It was not- Immediately disclosed
which member of the foreign rela
tions group had voted against de
laying action.
Plttmen sold he had arranged to
permit Senator Nye (R.. N. D.), who
now is out of the city, to appear
beforo the committee next week to
make any statement he wishes on
behalf of tho resolution.
The Nevada senator, asserted how
ever, it was highly unlikely that the
committee would reconsider Its ac
tion. '
Secretary of State Hull told the
senate foreign relations committee In
a communication that "from the
standpoint of the best Interests of
the United States In the circum
stances which now prevail, I would
not feel Justified in recommending
affirmative action on the resolution
under consideration." ,
Reconsideration of the present
neutrality legislation, Hull said,
should be delayed until effects of the
law can be viewed in Its broader
aspects "rather than to rewrite it
piecemeal In relation to a particular
situation.
"It Is evident," Hull wrote the
committee, "that there Is not suf
ficient time to give study of such
questions In the closing days of this
congress."

Wallace Chides Hughes
On Alleged Reversal of
Supreme Court's Stand
WASHINGTON. May 13. (AP) Secretary Wallace has told Chief Jus
tice Hughes that a supreme court decision invalidating an agriculture de
partment order not only reversed the court's stand two year ago. but
was 30 months behind a similar change In procedure Instituted volun
tarily by the department.
The secretary's views were made I
public last night in an unprece
dented letter to the- chief Justice
dated May 3, a week after the court
decision.
Wallace's decision to give out the
letter apparently was prompted by
a speech the chief Justice delivered
earlier In the day. In which he as
serted that the success of govern
ment administrative agencies would
be commensurate with their exercise
of Judicial "impartiality and inde
pendence." Defending hi department's handl
ing of cases In general, Wallace wrote
that the particular case involved In
the decision originated during the
Hoover administration, under a law
signed by President Harding.
It concerned an order reducing
commission rates In the Kansas City
livestock market. The supreme court
Invalidated the order on the ground
that the commission men were not
permitted to rebut findings of fact
by an agriculture department exam
iner. Chief Justice Hughes wrote the
decision. Immediately afterward the
national lafcor relations board moved
to withdraw several of its orders
against Jarge Industrial .rirras.. . .
Wallace's letter to the chief Jus
tice said In part:
"You will be Interested to know
that the practice you now recommend-
that the examiner conducting
the hearing make a report which Is
available to boteh parties for exrep.
ttons and argument, was adopted by
this department about 30 months
ago.
"You will recall that when you
remanded this same case to the lower
court In Msy. 1936. you discussed
this question and at that time you
wrote: ... we can not aay that
that particular type of procedure was
essential to the validity of the hear
ing. The statute does not require it
and what the statute does require
j relates to substance and not form.'
"Although you pointed out that
such procedure was not required,
we nevertheless felt that Its adop
tion would help to assure fair play
to all parties and made It a part of
our regular procedure In all cases
arising Under the packers and stock
yards act and similar legislation.
"I am glad to know that the court
has now approved the procedure
which . the department already had
inaugurated."
