Peeney of Delaware, who has been clerk to the Senate Dis- .trict committee throughout Mr. Ball's term as chairman, is no longer a can- didate for the commission. He intimated that Mr. Peeney has the prospects of being placed in a more pepmanent federal position. Shortly after the President’s return from his Florida vacation he said he had been convinced that the increased For a more remarkable Flower Pots as Low as $5 Sun Dial Pedestals $17.50 and more beautiful LAWN We have assembled a most EXTERIOR FURNITURE A finish that is a replica (in ap- pearance) of marble and which is easily restored from year to year. dutln of the. un(.eomml!llon hza reached Illch portions it almo: llo&l 1mpolllblllty for the present commlnlon of three mem- Dbers, and that if it is to catch up in its work a commission of five must be appointed.
