PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
DELAYS FILLING OF
OFFICIAL SPOKESMAN ISSUES
ORAL STATEMENT AT
WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 9. (&)—
President Coolidge probably will have
to go outside of Alaska to secure men
to fill the Department of Justice va
cancies in that territory, his official
spokesman has just orally stated.
These vacancies include a judgeship,
and the positions of U. ST. attorney
and U. S. marshal. Final decision on
the appointments will be held up un
til Mr. Coolidge has had an oppor
tunity to confer with -Dr. Hubert
Work, Secretary of the Interior.
The difficulty in finding suitable
residents for the post has been en
hanced by the fact that one out of
every 11 of the 20,000 white residents
is on the Federal pay roll and that
the 10 on the outside are, for the
most part, seeking the eleventh man’s
job, the Coolidge spokesman stated.
Recrimination, attack and counter-at
tack, it was said, have followed every
suggested name for the posts.
