By the Associated Press. ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.. February 19. —Foreign problems that must be solved after March 4 were discussed at length today by President-elect Harding and Charles Evans Hughes, whose designation as Secretary of State for the coming administration was formally announced by Mr. Hard- ing. Neither the President-elect nor the prospective head of the State Depart- ment would add any formal comment to the simple oral announcement of the former justice’s selection, Mr.| Hughes declaring it would be inex- pedient to publicly discuss at this time problems that must be dealt with in the future. Mr. Harding, in turn, said that one of the policies of his administration would be to let each department head speak for him- self. The announcement embodied the first official word to come from the Presi dent-clect regarding selections for mem- bership in his family of counselors. There was no element of surprise in the selection, for it had been known for! several weeks that Mr. Hughes virtual- | Iy was certain to be given the place. He | is understood to have been Mr. Hard- ing’s choike from the first, despite strong | pressure on behalf of other aspirants. “Of course,” Mr. Hughes said, “T ap- praise it as a great privilege to be in- vited by Senator Harding to serve in his administration. And I regard it as an imperative obligation to accept.” League Under Discussion. It generally was understood that dip- lomatic appointments to be made at the | outset of the new administration fur- nished one of the topics talked over, and that there was consideration also of the preliminary steps to be taken toward an association of nations. In re- ard to appointments the discussion-was more or less ‘indefinite, it being the policy of the President-elect to delay most of the sclections for diplomatic posts until after inauguration. Although neither Mr. Harding nor Mr. Hughes would divulge the opin- ions expressed during their consulita- tion, the general impression among those close close to the President- elect is that the first diplomatic ap- preaches to other nations in regard to a peace associdtion will be of an en- tirely informal character. No official diplomatic correspondence is expected on the subject and mno| formally accredited diplomatic mis- | sions are likely to be sent abroad until the attitude of other powers has been felt out quietly and some basis for negotiation established. Mr. Hughes will bring to the s taryship of state a legal traini unusual scope as well as sympathetic to ecre- | ng oll a mind | international agree- ment for the maintenance of peace. | During the treaty fight he advocated reserved ratification of the Versailles league and he proposed several reser- vations which were considered by the Senate majority in the prepara- tion of its final program. Saw Justice During Campaign, In the midst of the national cam- Paign last year Mr. Harding held one of longest conferences with the man now selected o sit at the head of the cabinet, and when the confer- ences of “best minds” began Marion in December he was the first to be summoned. It is understood that even then Mr. Harding virtually had decided on the appointment though the formal invitation was not extended until a later date, Strong support for other available men for the state portfolio developed during December and January, one of the most insistent movements be. ing for the selection of Ik a former Secretary. of the year, however. there have beey repeated indications that Mr. Harq. ing's mind was made up on the ques- tion, and he is known to have con- sidered anouncement of the appoint- ment early in January The only question Mr. Hughes was willing to answer tonight in regard to the policies of his department re- late to publicity. Asked whether he intended to follow the precedent of the present administration in holding periodical conferences with newspa- at lihu Root, per men. he replied with an emphatic aflirmative, adding that he wanted to give the fairest publicity to every department question that would per- mit of public discussion. Although the conference with Mr. sghes occupied virtually all of the -elect’s attention during the e had several other callers, in- Chairman Fordney of the House ways and means committee, who came to talk about tariff legis- ! iation. and Manuxl sentative of the who a Anzelo, Cuban liberal party, ed that the American govern. ment aid in guaranteeing fair elec tions in Cuba.

Special Dispatch to The Star. DETROIT, Mich., February 19. Thousands of auto workers will return to various plants here on Monday. The American Motor Body Company will re- sume production on that day, and from 1,500 to 2,000 men will be employed to fill an order from the Ford Motor Com- pany. Work will begin in all depart- gwents and the force will be gradually ‘Increased. Normally 5.000 are employed. No reduction in wages is contemplated. 0ld employes and residents of Detroit will be given preference.

The Kelsey Wheel Company announced it had received an order for 1,200 sety of wheels from the Ford Motor Com- pany and would hire 400 more men March 1. A 50 per cent increase in production for March over February is planned. At the Wilson Body Company more men are being taken on every day.

Another increase in number of cars turned out is plan- ned for April. Ford Plant Needs 4,000. The Hyatt Roller Bearing Company’s Detroit office announced that gradual additions to its plant force in Pater- son, N. will be made until the end of the month, following resumption of business with the Ford Motor Com- pany. Twenty-five per cent produc- tion in February will increase to 75 per cent in March, is the report, on account of general increase in the motor industry. At the Ford Highland Park plant i!,flm’l men will be added, it was an- | nounced. This will bring the total force to 14,000. GERMAN WAR CHIEFS DIE. Deaths of von Boehn and von Pleck Announced Simultaneously. BERLIN, February 19.—The death is announced of two German war chiefs, Gen. Hans von Boehn and Gen. von Pleck. Gen. von Boehn during the recent war was known as the treat specialist” As commander of the 8th German army he withsiood the brunt of the allied pressure in the Marne salient, and in August, 1918, was appointed to the supreme command on the Somme front. When in December, 1913, a plot was discovered in Berlin to restore imporialism and secure the return of former Emperor William, Gen, von Boehn, together with Field Marshal von Mackensen and Gen.

OFFICIALS Citizens” Association Dele- gates Vote to Approve Su- pervision at Hearing. | | | ‘The Federation of Citizens' Associa- tions, meeting in the District building | |tion of Commissioners Boardman and | Hendrick by the Senate. Donovan. of the Association fought against the federation taking definite action | on the question of censorship until after the Commissioners have held | the public hearing on the subject on February 28. The delegates, however, adopted al- | most unanimously a report of a spe- cial committee recommending some form of censorship, leaving the de- tails to the Commissioners to work out. In accordance with this action a delegation from the federation will attend the motion picture hearing. Central Report Is “pproved. The delegates approved unznimous- 1y a report by George A. Finch, chair- man of the law and legislation com- mittee, urging Congress to make an initial appropriation immediately to extend the District’s water supply. Mr. Finch's report laid special em- phasis on scheme E of Maj. Tyler's report on the water situation here. This scheme provides, briefly, for the construction of an additional conduit from Great Falls to the Dalecarlia reser- voir in Georgetown. Discussing this project, Mr. Finch's report follows: “It is favored by the War Department and other competent engineering authar- ities as the most practicable and econ- | omical. A commendable feature of the | plan is that it divorces the question of | | { | | the development of hydro-electric cur- | rent from that of an increased water | supply. It is further understood that within a few days the-Secretary of War will send a recommendation to Congress Tequesting an initial appropriation to be- gin work on Scheme E, and it is hoped to get it in a deficiency bill." Substitute Rejected. Chairman Finch of the law and legiglation committee was called upon to xeport on a resolution from the Con- duit Road Association favoring the confirmation of Commissioners Board- man and Hendrick. Mr. Finch's com- mittee recommended that before taking action on this question the federation should appoint a special committee to obtain information from the Senate as to the status of the appointments and report back. Delegate Donovan of Central moved as a substitute that the federation go on record in favor of the confirmation of the two Commissioners. On a rising vote the substitute was defeated 17 to 16. The report calling for a special com- mittee to get data as to the status of Miss Boardman and Mr. Hendrick was then adopted 15 to 14. Conditions at the Hamilton School, for tubercular children, near Bladens- burg road, were discussed for nearly an hour following the reading of a re- port by Dr. B. T.

B. Westlake, William Henry White and other dele. gates denounced the Hamilton build- ing as being unfit for tubercular chil- dren. Mr. Ashford asserted it was abandoned as a school for healthy chil. dren twenty vears ago. He urged as a temporary measurc that portable school buildings be set up on some high spot in the city, where the tu. bercular children could get plenty of air and light.

SUNDAY C. ZIHLMAN BOOMED FOR NEW CABINET Appointment of Maryland Representative Would Please Local G. 0. P. Leaders. Republican leaders who have re- ently been in conference with Presi- dent-elect Harding confirm the re- | ports from St. Augustine, Fla., to the |effect that Representative Frederick | N. Zihlman of Maryland is being seri- {ously considered for appointment | Secretary of Labor. This is especial igratifying to the locdl republican |leaders, who are particularly con- { cerned with the affairs of the National | Capital, because Representative Z:hl- {man has been one of the most active { members of the House District com- !mittee and has always been ready, | vo-support legislation for the benefit of the District. Representative Zihlman has not sought any honors from the incoming administration. His name was pre- sented to Mr. Harding without his solicitation and without his knowl- |edge. He is a union man and holds a union card, but he has always been conservative regarding labor legisia- tion and the demands labor. ‘While he cannot be said to be dom- inated or controlled in any way by | President Gompers or other officials of the American Federation of Labor, | organized labor has let Mr. Harding { know that the appointment of Repre- | sentative Zihlman would not be dis- | pleasing to the organization. | Fess Backs Zihlman. | Representative Simeon D. Fess of | Ohio, chairman of the congressional | campafgn committee, and Harry M. { Daugherty of Ohio, Mr. Harding's | closest political adviser, and who will be the Attorney General, are said to have urged Representative Zihlman as la very desirable man for the | post upon the incoming President. These two close advisers of Mr. Harding have suggested that the new executive might wish to take some one from the House, who stood well among his colleagues and who could | be depended upon to keep in close and |friendly touch with them and thus | keep the executive informed about 'how the House was feeling. It was lalso suggested that Mr. Harding might {like to accede to the solicitations of | those who think that he should ap- | point some southern man to the cabi- | net, and they pointed out that Mr. Zihlman, belng from Maryland, a | normally democratic state, would meet this situation nicely. Assurances have been given to Mr. | Harding that the selection of Repre- | sentative Zihlman would be thorough- |1y satisfactory to the members of the i House and not unsatisfactory to or- | ganized labor. Mr. Zihlman was a glassblower by | trade for many vears and is a for- | mer president of the Maryland State | Federation of Labor; he has’always | been a “safe and sane” member of labor organizations and has union never been found on the side of wild- !eyea radical labor agitators and leaders. The Federation of Labor has official- {1y approved Zihlman's caveer in the { House and he has always been right on all labor legislation. The Mary- Jander is recognized in the House as {a true friend of labor. That Zihlman { has always been favorable to labor is shown by the fact that the congres- onal records prove him to have oted for eighteen measures favor- iable to labor since he has been a | member of the House during | past four years. One of the big things | for labor Zihlman accomplished in the House was remedial legislation for the postal clerks. The Natignal Fed- | eration of Postal Clerks has indorsed [ the efforts of the Maryland repre- sentative for that legislation. In addition to his long and credit- able labor record he served in the Maryland state senate for four ses- sions, and for two sessions was unani- mously choser: republican ficor leader. He was elected to the Sixty-fifth and Sixty-sixth congresses and was re- elected last November to the Sixty- seventh and next Congress. ’ - of organized | labor | e MORNING, feee. | FILIATIoNS ' Hoover Engineer Council Urges‘; | Sweeping Patent Office Changes | [ AR B T |Conditions Called “Serious | The American Engineering Council, {of which Herbert Hoover is president, {has decided to enter actively upon a {broad plan for reorganization of fed- eral government departments, it was jannounced vestérday.
