The position was held by Ju ' lius E. Klein. Dr. Willard L. Thorp succeeded Klein by a re cess appointment, but the Sen ate refused to confirm his ap pointment because of his alleged Republican affiliations and be case of the charge that he was keeping Democrats out of office. According to Robert Williams, H. Russell Amory expected to succeed Thorp, but instead As sistant Secretary of Commerce and "Brain-Truster" John Dick inson received the appointment.
