However, It is not unusual for peo-
ple in the know to uot believe what
they read in this city, which is one
of the world's largest rumor factories.
The withdrawal of Reeves' name
came almost simultaneously with a
prediction by the Washington Post
that he would win confirmation as
the capital's first Negro commissioner.
It is believed that as a result,
Reeves' political career is at an end.
According to reports he had already
resigned as a presidential aide wheu
ha was nominated for the commis-
sionership. Enrlier, it had been re-
ported that he had turned down an
opportunity to be nominated as a
federal district judge, lie still retains,
however, his membership on the Dem-
ocratic national committee.
It was being anticipated here that
another Negro, possibly John B. Dun-
can, recorder of deeds, might be
nominated by Kennedy to the District
commission.
The action followed a senate In-
quiry Into tax .troubles of Reeves.
Reeves disclosed during the hearing
that he had l een billed for delinquent
