Path Seen Clear for Walker to Commission
SMARRISBURG May 25 Observers at the Capitol say Governor Pinchot has removed obstacles to Senate confirmation of Samuel Walker Buller as public service commissioner. The administration will let the matter slide and is not expected to oppose Walker's confirmation. Benn’s resignation had raised expectations he would be replaced with Walker for a new ten year term. Pinchot indicated appointments need not await the session end. Harold Evans, counsel to the House Utility Investigating Committee, surfaced as a likely Benn successor. Hyans was named to fill a vacancy during Pinchot's prior administration.
