APPOINT SARGENT ATTORNEY GENERAL
WARREN CONTROVERSY IS NOW SATISFACTORILY ENDED
HAS UNANIMOUS APPROVAL
Declines Recess Appointment After Senate Refused to Confirm Him For Post
Washington.—The controversy between President Coolidge and the senate over the attorney generalship ended with the nomination of John G. Sargent, of Vermont, for the post and his prompt confirmation by the senate.
Mr. Sargent, a former attorney general of Vermont and a close personal friend of the president, was selected after Charles B. Warren, of Michigan, whose nomination twice was rejected by the senate had declined to accept a recess appointment, according to an announcement the chief executive declared the plan to give Mr. Warren a recess appointment was due to unshakable confidence in him.
Announcement of the selection of Mr. Sargent, who lives in the little village of Ludlow, near the president's birthplace, was made after Mr. Coolidge had conferred with the Republican and Democratic floor leaders in the senate.
An hour and a half later, the nomination was reported to the senate in executive session and was approved in open session by unanimous consent, just four hours after it had been received. The committee discussed it only a little more than half an hour, and the senate debated it not at all.
