He had traveled extensively and was the author of several books on travel. He was graduated in 1888 from Union *Theological Seminary with the degree | ‘of doctor of divinity and became pastor of the Congregational Church at Green Mountain Fal's, Colo.

Thus having reorganized the work of the White House on an efficiency | the President has at the same tim through Secretary Newton, headed ur and given a start to the reorganizaiion | program. | Problems Are Intricate. The reorganization problem is tricate, with many conflicting inter: and possibility of administrative jeal- ousies. The plan of legislative pro- cedure must be carefully considered. | Having served for four years on the | Republican committee on committees in the House, he knows the House mem bers intimately and their qualification: As a member of the Republican steer- ing committee for the past four years he already is in clo: possible touch with the real leaders of legislation and has their confidence. | In this way he is fitted to be an in- | valuable key man for President Hoover | in his policy of working closely with | Congress not only cn the reorganization | Jjob, but on all great national problems. | Secretary Newton has the confidence | of the President. He has the confi-| dence of Congress. He should be emi- | nently successful in the “efficiency mission of having them know and un- derstand each other's viewpoint. Mr. Newton had planned to remain in Congress and was in no sense a can- didate for any office in the new ad- ministration.

Mr. Newton started his political career when he was not yet 12 by marching with his father in the Benjamin Harri- son parade in 1892. ‘The first campaign in which he took an interest other than in marching clubs and torchlight bearer was in the Roosevelt campaign in 1904.
