MELLON NOT SO SURE TO HOLD TREASURY JOB Feeling Grows That He Is Likely to Be Retired After March 4 By Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—With Herbert Hoover due here Sunday, speculation has been renewed concerning the makeup of his cabinet, especially such important posts as secretary of treasury and state. The president-elect is expected to discuss these matters before he leaves Washington for Miami the middle of the month. Though Secretary Mellon and Senator Borah have been mentioned for treasury and state, respectively, it is denied on behalf of Hoover that he has made any commitments ir. this direction. In fact, there is a growing feeling that Mellon is not certain to be carried on, and that the Idaho senator has no greater chance than the Pennsylvanian. Several new and ol 1 names have been mentioned for thee posts. The most prominent figure suggested recently for Mellon’s place is Roy A. Young of Minnesota, president of the federal reserve board. Theodore R. Robinson of California. who suggested as third member of the original Dawes commission by Hoover himself, also is talked of. So is Under Secretary Mills of New York, though not so much as formerly. • Morrow Again to Fore Dwight W. Morrow’s name again has leaped into prominence in discussion of a new 1 state department head. Senators Edge and Kean of New Jersey, together with National Committeeman .Daniel Pomeroy of that state, plan to present the ambassador's name to Hoover as their candidate for the job. Furthermore, it is understood that Morrow will spend January at Nassau, in the Bahamas, only a twelvemile boat trip from where Hoover ola,ns to stay. This may mean anything or nothing, but political Washington sees some significance in it. Ambassadors and diplomats are mentioned for several places under Hoover. Roland S. Boyden, tor several years unofficial observer abroad, also is talked of for the state department. Hugh S. Gibson, ambassador to Belgium and a personal friend of Hoover, has ben put forward for secretary of the navy. Though Gibson has been in the diplomatic service, he is considered fitted by his special experiences abroad to fill the navy post. He has been this country's chief representative several Geneva disarmament conferences, and with considerable success. Doubt Over Donovan Though Colonel William J. Donovan of New York has been regarded as the most likely candidate for at-torney-general, it is reported he will not get this job, but that of solicitorgeneral, if he wants it. Hoover is said to be looking for a more nationally known man for the department of justice. Silas Strawn of Chicago, Ow’en J. Roberts of Philadelphia, government counsel in the Doheny-Sinclair oil trials, and John Griffin Mott, Hoover’s legal adviser on the South American trip, are spoken of. Hoover might have a hard time to get Donovan confirmed, and a senatorial investigation of his activities in the prosecution of Senator Wheeler of Montana might loom. The dearth of material may prevent the south from winning a place in the cabinet, though N. C. Cramer of North Carolina has plenty of backers. He is a prominent manufacturer and ajpo an Annapolis graduate, a classmate of Secretary Wilbur. His business training is cited as fitting him for rhe war department. The first mineral prospecting expedition by plane ever planned was undertaken by a syndicate of capitalists In the spring of 1925, having for its object exploration work in the unexplored regions of northern British Columbia and the Yukon.

DOCTOR CLAIMS ‘POVERTY CURE' Fitting Employes in Right Jobs Called Remedy. By Science Service NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Millions of dollars could be saved to society if executives did not have to carry on their work through inefficient employes. And millions more needed for charity could be saved if knowledge now available were used to fit to suitable jobs persons now employed unsuitably and destined finally to become dependent upon charity. These millions, if wisely used, would be sufficient to remove such poverty and resulting disease frois civilized nations, according to Dr. V. V. Anderson, psychiatrist, of this city. These transformations of human society are immediately possible, Dr. Anderson declares in a report to the Personal Journal. In one .department store in New Yoik, out of 1,200 employes, 240 were judged by their supervisors to be 'problem cases, Dr. Anderson found. After investigation of their education, living conditions, health, personalities, and social problems, about 120 were satisfactorily adjusted in their same jobs or in other Jobs, so that they became economic assets instead of liabilities. Application of present knowledge of psychiatry and psychology to industry will tap a vast, new source of income to industry and business, the psychiatrist predicts.

Bu United press GENEVA, Jan. 11,—A wealthy American, Mrs. Harrison Eustls of Nashville, Tenn., who lives in a villa above Montreux and possesses large kennels specializing in police dogs, has, as a hobby, just begun to train dogs to aid blind people by leading them.

HALF-MILLION TEAR IS COST OF PRESIDENT Recall That. Ben Franklin Didn’t Want to Pay Chief Executive. „ By Timet Special NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Benjamin Franklin, reputed to have been one of the world’s wisest men, was opposed to paying any salary whatsoever to the President of the United States. In the constitutional convention of 1787 Dr. Franklin argued that a President should meet his personal expenses from his own resources, in order that the highest office in the land might not be sought after by excessively and sordidly ambitious men. His motion, however, was not even voted upon, but died without a roll call. This obscure historical incident is revealed by William Hard, in the current World’s Work, in an article describing just how the head office of the greatest business in the world —the United States government is kept up. Hard states that It costs at least half a million annually to maintain a President in a manner commensurate with his position. Added to this must be the cost of interest charges on~the capital invested in our White House and its beautiful and spacious grounds. The President has a landlord just like anyone else. He is Lieu-tenant-Colonel U. S. Grant 111, present director of the office of public buildings and public parks of the national capital. He is required by a statute to keep an inventory of# all the White House furnishings. Another capacity in which he serves is that of official junkman, keeping a sort of old curiosity shop of White House furnishings that have been replaced by new pieces, which is a happy hunting ground for antique-loving presidential wives. There are just three persons, the World’s Work article adds, who arein charge of the upkeep of the Whit House: Mr. Henlock, who presides over the greenhouses; Mr. Hoover, curiously bearing the same name as the President-elect, the chief usher of the White House, and Mr. Forster, the executive clerk, who sit in the executive wing. Mr. Henlock has been with us since the first Cleveland administration: Mr. Hoover since President Harrison; Mr. Forster since President McKinley,
