6. HARDING years later President Wilson named him as governor of thb board and this position he continued to hold until 1922. In January, 1923 he became 'governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. During -the war Mr Harding was managing director of the War Finance Corporation. H6 Was awarded the degree of doctor of laws by the University of Alabama in 1916 and by Harvard University in 1922.

Mr Harding considered one of Ms greatest achievements the' fact that he succeeded in keeping the Federal Reserve Board out of politics. In 1920, he delivered a notable address, In' which he warned of the approaching business depression, saying that it might be found that America had been, living in a fools paradise since the close of the war, and that more work, economy and liberal investment in foreign securities were necessary "if we. wish to make the present apparent prosperity real and permanent. ALLEN VETOES CIVILJST BILL It Provided Reinstatement for Many Suspended The first Legislative measure vetoed by Gov Allen this session was returned by the Governor to the General Court today, unapproved. The bill was one relative to suspension from and reinstatement to an office or employment under the classified Civil Service.

The Governor in disapproving the measure holds that the bill might greatly prejudice the rights of both veterans and civilians on the Civil Service eligible lists. The bill would allow the reinstatement of persons In the labor service suspended for lack of work or lack of appropriation, no matter how long since! the suspension, he declared. Gov Allen feels that the termination of suspension granted by the Civil Service Commission at present fills the immediate needs of the situation. The message which accompanied the veto was read in the House and Senate when those bodies convened this afternoon. It follows: returning, without my approval, House No.

1110, entitled, An Act Relative to Suspension from and Reinstatement to an Office or Employment Under the Classified Civil Service. It is apparent that reinstatements under the provisions of this proposed legislation after a long lapse of time might greatly prejudice the rights of both veterans and civilians on the eligible Civil Service list. It is my understanding that approval of requests for reinstatements following the termination of a euspension is almost Invariably granted by the Civil Service Commission, except In flagrant cases where the reinstatement would be decidedly prejudicial to the public service. Under the provisions of the proposed bill a number of persons in the labor service suspended for lack of work or lack of appropriation could be reinstated by the head of a department Continued on tho Fifteenth Fag WILLETT TO TELL HOW HE LOST HIS FORTUNE Former Millionaire to Speak at Public Meeting in Norwood on Last' 12 Years of His Life RECORDED BY POLICE LISTING Has 502,394 Residents 1 Older Than 20 Boston has 41466 unemployed, according to the official records, compiled after the police listing work.
