HOOVER FACES BATTLES OVER NEW CABINET Mrs. Wiliebrandt, Mellon and Donovan Targets of Senate Ire. By Times Upe-cial WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Herbert Hoover may encounter trouble in obtaining senatorial confirmation of several important Coolidge officeholders, frequently mentioned as cabinet possibilities under the next administration. With Hoover’s approach to American shores stimulating discussion of his appointments, senate corridors and cloakrooms are buzzing with threats of reprisal against Secretary Mellon. Colonel William J. Donovan and Mrs. Mabel Walker Thlebrandt. Mellon is considered likely to be continued. Donovan is being mentioned for the attorney generalship, and Mrs. Wiliebrandt for both a cabinet post and a federal judgeship. So threatening is the attitude of several senators that it is understood some of Hoover’s close advisers are canvassing the prospect of a conflict with the senate that might engender bad blood during the early weeks of the new admininstration. Naturally, the next President wants to avoid a clash with congress at such an early date.

Loophole Is Sought Another incident reveals the reality of the objections raised on Capitol Hill. Authorities on the constitution are looking up precedent to discover if it is necessary lor a President to seek confirmation of such unofficial appointees as his cabinet members. Some raise the point that Hoover could continue Mellon in office without accepting a resignation or asking for confirmation. Others suggest that cabinet officers are exempt from the constitutional clause providing for appointment “by and with the advice and consent of the senate.” Though few senators will speak for publication, many admit that each recurring prediction of the selection of any of the above trio evokes angry outbursts. Progressives and Democrats are angry at Donovan because they feel his prosecution of Senator Wheeler of Montana was based on official resentment at the westerner’s success in ousting Harry Daugherty from the cabinet. There are other counts held against the New York man, but this is the most serious. Mellon Is Target Senator Couzens’ friends . assert that the treasury suit to recover $10,000,000 back taxes from the Michigan senator was another attempt to punish a senatorial investigator. Complete failure of the government’s action, together with the forced payment of $3,000,000 to the Couzens group, recently has produced a revival of feeling against Mellon. Mrs. Wiliebrandt is on many members’ black lists for her religious speeches during the campaign. Governor A1 Smith’s personal friends in the senate, as well as others who do not claim friendship with the recent Democratic nominee, question the propriety of her conduct in the presidential fray. They also contend it shows her unfitness for a judicial post of any kind.

RENT REFUSES DEPUTY POST Former Prosecutor Not to Serve Juvenile Court. William H. Remy, former county prosecutor, today declined the position of juvenile court deputy to which he was appointed last week by Prosecutor Judson L. Stark. Remy turned down the job without making any attempt to act officially in the court. j Stark said he had not decided on Remy’s successor to the post. Appointment of Remy caused a furore in courthouse political circles because John F. Engelke has been acting as an investigator and deputy prosecutor for eleven years. Engelke returned to the court this morning after his reappointment by Lahr. After Engelke had acted in three cases this morning, Remy conferred with Lahr and told him he would make no attempt to fill the post. Remy told Lahr he would be “too busy with private practice to act as juvenile court deputy.”

Hidden Fires ‘Worthless Alley Kid/ 11, Hailed as Budding Artistic Genius.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.—The conversion of a ‘worthless alley kid” into a budding genius amazed art critics today as they surveyed the paintings of 11-year-old Dominic Randazzo. Dominic is a prodigy of Hull house, Jane Addams’ famous social welfare center on the edge of the Chicago ghetto. Twelve months ago he was classed by his teachers as “subnormal,” a year behind in school, lazy, sulky and whened. His mother was dead and he lived with his father, two brothers, a sister and a sister-in-law in two rooms of a dark tenement building on the west side. One day he wandered into the art school at Hull House and watched a group of boys and girls no older than himself painting white ships on blue water. The sight entranced him and he asked if he could “play with the paints like the other kids.” Hull House instructors soon discovered Dominic’s aptitude with colors and clay. His laziner and sulkiness disappeared. His wized face brightened up. Dominic was on the way to finding himself. When he took the profits home after a lady from the Gold Coast had bought one of his first paintings, Dominic's father accused him of stealing the money. Critics predict now that Dominic, “the worthless alley kid” will make much more money. They see in his early work the beginnings of a real artist.

Bailey of Northwestern university said todayin explaining Cupid's laxity in Chicago in 1928. “The reason marriages were fewer in Cook county in 1928 than in any year since 1922 is because there are more companionate -marriages now than most person: care to admit,” Professor Bailey said. “With religipn and morals changing as rapidly as the institution of marriage, a complete reorganization of social life is inevitable.” Other sociologists and economists blamed the dearth of wedding bells on the high cost of living, mobility of modern life and the tendency of young people to delay marriage until late in life.

BY JOHN DE GANDT United Press Staff Correspondent MADRID, Jan. 2.—Closer relations between Spain and the American continents was the outstanding political event of the year 1928, Premier Primo de Rivera of Spain told the United Press in an exclusiv einterview today. The premier mentioned the treaties his country has negotiated with several South American republics, and the presence in American universities of Spanish professors as well as improved trade as evidences of the closer relations between Spain and the countries of America. “If the tension between Bolivia and Paraguay disappears by peaceful means and through the intervention of the League of Nations, it will mean a great advance to the latter’s prestige and enormous progress on the road to universal peace,” De Rivera said. “Spain has placed over any other aim the doctrine of peace and justice among peoples and co-operated in as many undertakings as were initiated for the prosecution of humanitarian, progressive and cultural ends,” De Rivera said.

DAWES PLAN IS WORKING WAk. CHIEFREPORTS Gain in Germany's Ability to Pay Reparations Seen. By United Press BERLIN, Jan. 2.—The generally optimistic tone of S. Parker Gilbert's report on the fourth year ol the Dawes plan is expected to bring only gioom to the German government. General improvement of Germany’s economic condition, including a stronger currency, is evident from the report. This is in direct contradiction, however, to the impression the government and press have been attempting to create the last few veeks, when it became almost certain that a committee of experts would meet to determine Germany’s ability to pay reparations. Gilbert’s report as an official document by the agent-general of reparations, is certain to influence the committee of experts when it meets in Paris next month. The 170-page document covers the fourth year of the Dawes plan, and reviews the pans and achievements of the Dawes committee since its inception in September, 1924. The fifth Dawes plan year, beginning last September, marked the end of a four-year transition period during which German reparations were graduated to a so-called normal of 2,500,000,000 gold marks (about $595.000.000) in anual payments which now are being made. After announcing the continued successful operation of the Dawes plan, the report states that Germany loyally and punctually met its reparations obligaitons. One of the important developments of the report was the observation of the increase of foreign currency in Germany’s payments, which, during the first year of the plan, comprised only 30.37 per cent of the total payments. compared with 54.23 per cent the last year.
