U. S. ATTORNEY GORDON LISTED FOR NEW TERM Informal Announcement at White House Indicates Reappointment at an Early Date. Maj. Peyton Gordo appointed United States the District of Columbia an informal announcement made at the White House. There was no indica- tion, however, just when the nomina- ton will be sent to the Senate, but it is thought by those about the Presi- dent that he will do so very shortly. It was explained at the White lHouse that the delay in making this reappointment has been due partly to the making of an inquiry by the Department of Justice into “certain matters,” as the White House ex- plained it. These ‘“certain matters" were said to have had some bearing upon Maj. Gordon's administration of 1he affairs of his office. It is under- s(.nm!, however, that the Department of Justice has’ completed its fnquiry and found everything in connection with Maj. Gordon’s administration satisfactory. At the time Maj. Gordon's term ex- vired last August the President an. nounced that it was his intention to reappoint this official and several ;:\r:e< since has reiterated that state- nt. 0 be torney s re: for rding to NEGROES’ PARADE OFF.
