Hanes resigned today as undersecretary of the treasury, and Herbert E. Gaston was reported slated to succeed him. The genial North Carolinian quit the treasury to return to private business, but made it plain that his resignation involved no differences with the administration as have so many previous departures from high treasury posts. Gaston, a former newspaper editor, now is assistant secretary of the treasury and is regarded in treasury circles as closer to Secretary Morgenthau than anyone else in the department. Six months ago, Gaston permitted Morgenthau to promote him from a S10.000-a-year Job as treasury publicity chief to the $9,000 assistant secretaryship.

Elevation to the undersec-retaryship would restore his former pay scale. Observers accepted as an indication that Gaston would be moved up an announcement that President Roosevelt had selected John Sullivan, 40-year-old Manchester, N. lawyer, to be an assistant secretary of the treasury.
