Brookhart Political Foe | Recently MacNider and Senator | Brookhart have been in opposite po- litical camps in Iowa although both are Republicans.

Brookhart could not be reached to- day when MacNider’s selection for the Canadian post became known. The appointment must be confirmed by the senate. The president's nominee is a banker and since his retirement from the de- partment has returned to banking in his home state.

He wears the dis- tinguished service cross and several foreign decorations. He is 40 years old.

The Canadian post is looked upon here as one involving many commer- cial relationships. e No official statement was forth- coming from Ottawa today in respect to the announcement that MacNider had been selected for minister, but it was understood that the name had been approved.
