A—-10 %% PURYEAR TO HEAD PWWA. PATRONAGE Interior Department Jobs Also in Charge of Cut- ting Secretary. Secretary Ickes has placed Edgar F. Puryear, former secretary to the late Senator Bronson Cutting of New Mex- ico, in charge of patronage in the In- terior Department and Public Works Administration. In doing so, Ickes relieved his ad- ministrative assistant, E. K. Burlew, of these duties. For a long period, it was announced, Burlew has been working under pressure of many du- ties. Mr. Puryear only recently joined the Public Works staff. His official title now is director of employment. Bur- lew will remain in charge of per- sonnel administration relating to em- ployes in the service, as well as budget matters, organization problems and special administrative assignments. Regarding his administrative assist- ant, Ickes said: “For months Mr. Burlew has been performing with credit more duties than it was proper to impose upon one person. The Public Works and In- terior Department programs have now reached the point where it is possible for me to grant him some relief. I welcome this opportunity to shift some of the burden in handling applications for employment and appointments to Mr. Puryear.” Mr. Puryear, whose wife is promi- nent in National D. A.

He added the sub-agent at Hanover was Fred T. Bangs, who operated a cut-rate drug store and solicited mes- sages for Postal on the side on a com- mission basis. “Is that customary?” asked Black. “At certain times,” Coleman said. Before today’s haaring began, mem- bers of the Senate Committee scouted talk of strife with House utilities in- telegram concerning the ho’lqu com- pany. The writer asserted he had not.

O’Connor sa‘d action hinges on the time it takes tc prepare the case. William Collins, newly named counsel to the comuniitee, ordered a fresh appeal to merabers of the House to come forward with any information they may have on the lobbying ac- tivities, Collins said he wouid seek to avoid duplication of effort and would try to cover ground untouchsd by the Senate. Investigators at Work. Chairman O'Connor disclosed today that the House Rules Committee has put investigators to work in New York, Chicago and Atlanta digging up in- formation for its investigation. He declined to say, however, what prompted the sudden field work. O’Connor also said the committee had been meeting secretly, going over data and information bearing on its inquiry, and was hearing some in- dividuals, presumably private utility representatives and Congressmen with information of alleged lobbying activities, in executive sessions.
