& 1 PATRONAGE SURVEY) HOLDING UP J0BS All Places Are Not Expected | to Be'Filled by Democrats for Over Year. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 9.—An exhaustive | patronage survey being made here and in Washington by Democratic aides is holding up a vast array of political ap- pointments, it was learned last night. It will be a year or two, it was said unofficially at Democratic national headquarters, before all places have been filled. Party leaders, as they start their third month of work on the problem, | contemplate the most thorough and complete analysis ever undertaken by an incoming administration of the thousands of places which can be filled by appointment, New Jobs Crop Up. Many positions not appearing on any previous list of available jobs have cropped up during the survey, although no definite count of the total has been made. One reason for the delay in making the appointments, it was explained, is the intention of listing every one of these jobs, and then weighing and re- weighing all recommendations to see that each place goes to the most deserv- ing .party worker who seeks it. | The caution with which the party leaders are proceeding is in direct con- trast to the speed with which some incoming administrations have dis- pensed patronage. Meanwhile, those who supported Franklin D. Roosevelt for the nomina- tion at Chicago and also those who worked against him are by necessity all l!‘ecpmg eager eyes on the political plum rec. Tammany Hall. which voted against the New York Governor through the last convention ballot, is anxiously wait- ing to see what in the way of patronage will fall into its outstretched hands. Dozen are Rewarded. More than a dozen New Yorkers, & number of them from Tammany’s own bailiwick, already have been given im- portant posts in the Roosevelt govern- ment. Not one has been a Tammany member. One prized “patronage appointment,” that of collector of the port, has been handed out. In that case Tammany was passed by and the job, which pays $12,000 a year, went to Harry M. Durn- ing. a Democrat from the Brenx, where Edward Flynn, ardent Roosevelt sup- porter, is party leader. New Yorkers from Tammany's borough and from other sections—none affiliated with the Manhattan organization—al- ready have been named to the Secretary of Labor, Postmaster General, Assistant Secretary of State. Assistant Secrctary of Agriculture, Ambassador to France, head of the Farm Credit Corporation and Minister to Sweden. Wants Patronage Power. But the sort of jobs Tammany is eyeing are those that carry patronage power in themselves, such as collectors of internal revenue, United States marshals, postmasters and United States attorneys. No indication has yet come from party headquarters as to the possible political affiliations of the men who will get these jobs. Mail from aspiring job holders still comes by the sackful to party offices here and in Washington. When James A. Farley. Postmaster General and party chairman, arrives in New York—even though he sometimes comes unannounced and unexp:cted— lines of men three and four abreast fill the corridors leading to his office. All are being told to be patient; that the deserving will be rewarded as far as possible for their campaign efforts when the survey is finished and the appointments begin to trickle out.
