Hutchins, dean of the Yale Law school, and Prof. Charles 3. Clark, of the same school. At the same time official informa- tion was received that he had made 1o selections for the commission and had not even approached any of those whose names have been sub- wmitted for consideration. Dean Hutchins and Prof. Clark called at the White House at the suggestion of Scnator Bingham, re- publican, Connecticut, After a con- ference lasting about.15 minutes the yresident requested them to call at the department of justice for a meet- fng with Attorney General Mitchell. The Yale Law school recently made an exhaustive study of law violations in the country and it was understood the Yale men presented some of this information, elaborating upon it at their conference with the a'torney general. I’resent expectations are that the law enforcement commission will be composed of nine nationally known men, selected recommendations have been considered from the Anierican Bar association, leading Jurists and other sources. Professional gwet and dry leaders undoubtedly will be eliminated from consideration as the president desires to select a non-partisan commission «s far as this may be possible.
