It was an independent agency, but since it had to do with workmen's compensation it was a post upon which she felt sure the President would consult me and in which I had a right to be interested, although it wasn't in the Department of Labor. It was called the United States Employees Compensation Commission. It really has to do with workmen's compensation in the case of injury. She wanted Mrs. Swofford appointed there and she laid it hot and heavy onto me that I must recommend it to the President. She had also recommended it, of course. I looked up Mrs. Swofford. She was really an excellent person. She stayed with the government until several years ago. She was an excellent person and did a very good job. That was Miss Dewson's appointment.

She also wanted Mrs. Lucille Mc Milling of Kentucky appointed to the civil Service Commission. She was the widow of a former Governor of Kentucky or Tennessee. I don't remember which it was. Hull comes from Tennessee, doesn't he? Well, I guess it was Tennessee. She was a great friend of the Hulls. They had known her when she was the wife of the Governor. Mrs. McMillin had done heroic work as an organizer and helper in the Democratic campaign. So had Mrs. Swofford. So had this woman out in Seattle, Marie
