" CANP S EXPECTED 10 GET NEW POST Director of Customs Believed to Be Considered for Commissionership. Ernest W. Camp, who is now dlrec- ®or of customs, probably will be ap- m@l to the newly created post of issioner of customs, it was reli- @bly indicated today in authoritative les. Although final decision has not been peached at the Treasury Department @oncerning either the commissioner of oustoms or the commissioner of pro- Adbition, both created by the last ses- don of Congress, it was learned that Myr. Camp’s name stands at the top of :nnn of eligibles for the customs posi- n. and in all likelihood will be ap- Mr Camp, who came to Washington @and the Government service about 20 grs ago from Michigan, with former prmnmhve Fordney, has been in charge of customs at the Treasury under the old organization since Janu- ary, 1922. If promoted to the newly created post with its additional pesponsibility as commissioner, Mr. Camp would be increased in salary from his present $6,500 to $8,000 pro- wvided in the act. The appointment ‘would be made by Secretary Mellon. Record Is Praised. ‘The administration of customs mat %ors under Mr. Camp is known to have been pleasing to Treasury offi olals, who consider him well qualified to carry on under the new and en- larged responsibility of the act whicl creates a Bureau of Customs with & commissioner in charge. When Mr. Camp first took over administration ©f customs, he assumed a post known then as Chief of the Division o! Customs. Later, in 1923, it was changed to the Director of Customs. His experience with former Repre- sentative Fordney of the ways and means committee proved valuable not enly to Mr. Camp, but to the Govern- ment’s administrative machine. First secretary to Mr. Fordney, Mr. Camp was made clerk of the House ways and means committee in 1919, and held that position during consideration by Congress of tariff legiklation. He pame from Saginaw, Mich., graduated from the public high schools there, entered the University of Michigan, ‘where he pursued engineering for a time, before coming to Washington. He studied law at Georgetown Uni- wversity law school, from- which he graduated, and was admitted to the local bar in 1912. Establishment of the new Bureau of Customs may be officially authorized before long by Secretary Mellon, as the Treasury has had under considera- tion the method and system of han- dling the problem for months, during consideration of Congress by the re- erganization bill, which finally passed in the last days of the late lamented . The act places April 1 as of the reorganiza- Berious consideration already has been given also to the position of prohibition commissioner, it is known, although no final decision on this has been reached so far as known. The one thing which appeared plain to- day, however, was that Roy A. Haynes, who for years has held the title of prohibition commissioner, though now shorn of all his power of administration, will not get the new post. Mr. Haynes was said by his friends today still to be cherishing the hope that Secretary Mellon would ap- point him as commissioner in charge ©f_prohibition affairs. It has been known for months, how- ever, that Mr. Haynes' days of au- thority are over, so far as adminis- tnuve control is concerned. He has been kept on the Government pay roll &s a kind of traveling supervisor for prohibition affairs, and adviser to As- sistant Secretary of the Treasury Andrews, ‘at the commissioner’s sal- lary of $7,500. What will be done with him when the real prohibition commis- sioner is named to take over actual charge of the machine which he for- merly conduected i8 an interesting question. The new -prohibition com- missioner will draw a salary of $8,000. Andrews Taking Rest. Although an item of $5,000 for set- ting up the new Bureau of Customs ‘was in the second deficiency bill which failed of enactment in the Senate jam, there will be no difficulty in establish- ing the bureau, it was indicated at the ‘Treasury, as arrangements can be made temporarily until this money can be appropriated later by Congress. No item for the new Bureau of Pro- hibition was included in the unenacted deficlency bill, and officials thought there would be no complications, so far as appropriations were involved, setting up the Prohibition Bureau. problem of how the prohibition agents now in service will be brought within the requirements of the act which makes them subject to the civil service law remains to be worked out. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Andrews, in charge of customs and prohibition, is out of the city on a vacation to rest from the arduous labors of the past few weeks, in con- nection with the pending legislation, but will return next Monday to take up the many problems which now face him.
