DIFFICULT TUSK
REAL RACE AMONG SOUTHERN
DEMOCRATS FOR THE
POSITIONS
WASHINGTON, Dec., 12, (A3)—
President Hoover is finding that
the selection of two democrat
members to the Interstate Com
merce Commission anything but
an easy task
While the concensus of opinion
among those close to the White
House is that Joseph B. Eastman,
of Boston, will be reappointed,
strong opposing influences are at
work. Among these are included
some of the leaders of the re
publican party as well as rail
road interests.
There seems to be a farily well
established rumor that Richard
Taylor, of Mobile, Alabama, will
not be reappointed to the com
mission. There is a real race
among southern democrats for
the place.
