Knox May Step Down If Trade Bureau Is Abolished
Washington May 11 The House bill to abolish the bureau of trade relations and several state department offices could force Secretary Knox to resign. The measure would save 69000 a year in salaries but wreck the reorganized department, officials warn, with July 1 as the potential dissolution date. Acting Secretary Wilson says the plan would destroy the department's structure and its foreign affairs functions.
