The name of Mr. Harry S. New, retiring Senator from Indiana, will be presented to the Senate for confirmation of his appointment as Postmaster General some time before that body disperses.
At the same time the nomination of Postmaster General Hubert Work as Secretary of the Interior will go to the Capitol.
President Harding has a Cabinet again. The resignation of Secretary Fall for announced reasons of ill health left a vacancy difficult to fill. When Secretary Hoover and Mr. John Hays Hammond, obvious first choices, refused the position, the President found himself in a difficulty.
Mr. New is 64. Included in his qualifications is experience as a big game hunter, as an editor, and as a soldier in the war against Spain.
