Congressional influence in the
past has Weighed heavily in the
selection of Federal directors for
states and in the selection of many
other subordinate officials. and the
Treasury has not been satisfied with
all of the men thus named.
Mr. Andrew's said toduy he would
not retain men whose integrity hug
been questioned and who did not
measure up as producers of results.
The whole list or present officials
will be gone over before the new
system goes into operatl0n August 1
to determine how nfiny of them will
be asked to stay.
In order to obtain the type of
administrators he seeks. the assistant
secretary has asked Comptroller
General McCarl for a ruling on the
salary question. It is understood he
proposes to pay as high as $10,000
annually for some of the posts,
