RODSEVELT FILLS | THREE HIGH POSTS Bullitt Named Hull Aide, Long Envoy to Italy and King Naval. Air Chief. Three import2nt nominations, sent to the Capitol by President Roosevelt yes- terday afternoon, today are awaiting| confirmation by the Senate. The ap- pointments are those of William C. Bul- litt, to be special assistant to the Secre- tary of State; Breckinridge Long. to be Ambassador to Italy, and Capt. Ernest J. King, to be chief of ths«Navy Bureau of Aeronautics. " Late in the day the Senate ended threats of a potential dispute by con- firming the appointment, previously submitted, of John Collier of California to_be commissioner of Indian affairs. Bullitt's nomination aroused unusual interest in offici2] circles because of his activities abroad a few months ago, which made him something of an in- ternational mystery man. His appoint- ment was made known a few hours after the President had sent to the Sen- ate the nomination of Mr. Long, an As- | sistant Secretary of State in the Wilson administration, to the Italian embassy, one of the prize posts in the diplomatic service. Capt. King, holder of the Navy Cross for distinguished service, will suc- ceed the late Rear Admiral William A. MofTett, who lost his life in the crash of the U. S. S. Akron on April 4. Bullitt Assumes Duties. A smiling but reserved young man, Bullitt took up immediately his work of helping Secretary Hull prepare for the World Economic Conference in London in June and the Washington parleys be- ginning with the arrival of Prime Min- ister Ramsay MacDonald of Great Britain. ! It was published word that the Phila- delphian had been seen going into No. 10 Downing Street in London to see the prime minister that led to a contro- versy last Winter, provoking the repoi£ that he was a special representative of President-elect Roosevelt, engaging in | ‘war debt discussions abroad. i This Roosevelt promptly denied, and the mystery man himself, when bom- barded by newspaper men, insisted he had only been gathering material for a book. This he reiterated to them at the State Department vesterday. Long will succeed John W. Garrett of Baltimore at Rome. Born in Missouri 52 years ago, Mr. Long was the Demo- cratic nominee for the United States Senate in 1920. During the Wilson ad- ministration he became an intimate friend of Franklin D. Roosevelt. then Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He was active in Roosevelt’s pre-conven- tion and prg-election campaign. Promise Is Fuifilled. In naming Capt. King. the adminis- tiation made good its promise to choose a fiyer to take Admiral Moffett's place. A native of Lorain, Ohio, Capt. King has had more than 400 hours in the air as a pilot and 900 hours of flying time in all capacities. He now is under in- struction at the Naval War College. Capt. King was decorated for his dis- tinguished service during the World War as assistant to the chief of staff of the commander in chief, Atlantic Fleet. Since the war he has served at many sea and shore posts, including a tour of duty as assistant chief of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics under Admiral Moffett. He was commander of the Airclaft Squadrons, Scouting Fleet, during a part of 1928 and has com- manded the U. S. S. Wright, aircraft tender; the U. S. 8. Lexington, air- craft carrier, and the Naval Air Station, Hampton Roads, Va. Capt. King was in charge of the sal- vage operations of the Submarine S-51, sunk off Block Island in September, 1925, serving so_capably that he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. When the Submarine S-4 was sunk off Provincetown, Mass., two years later, Capt. King again was put in charge of the salvage operations, and again was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal and presented with a gold star. ’:(Snpz.

Mellon said last night he would not comment on America’s leaving the gold standard or on projects to expand cur- Tency and credit. “This is a very complex question,” said the former Secretary of the Treas- ury, one of the world’s richest men. “I could not comment without making a very thorough study of the issues in- volved, and I am so engaged at this time that I cannot give the time for such a study.” Mr. Mellon left for the East on a | business trip.
