President Roosevelt last week got a Glass in the Treasury. It was not Carter Glass, the peppery little Senator from Virginia who refused to enter the Cabinet because he could not get an advance pledge on "sound money." but his sister Marion Glass Banister whom the Presi dent appointed to be Assistant Treasurer of the U. S. For $5,600 per year Mrs. Banister will help U. S. Treasurer William Alexander Julian keep track of the Government's billions. As a glorified bookkeeper, she has no policy-making powers.

Mrs. Banister, smart, vivacious, blue-eyed and sixtyish, is the second woman to get an upper berth in the Treasury from President Roosevelt. The first was Nellie Tayloe Ross, onetime Governor of Wyoming, now Director of the Mint.

Mrs. Banister's appointment resulted more from her own personal influence among Democrats than from her brother's White House "pull." During the War she worked industriously in George Creel's propaganda bureau. Afterwards she switched to the Democratic National Committee as a potent party propagandist among women. Distributed among 3,000 Democratic women's clubs were millions of copies of her pamphlets on the oil scandals, on civil service reform, on party history. She was long publicity director for Washington's swank Mayflower Hotel, started a smart-chart called the Washingtonian which suspended publication in 1932. In 1928 Democrat Banister was strongly anti-Smith but cast no vote. She was on the Roosevelt bandwagon early.

With her husband Blair Banister, an insurance man, she lives in an apartment on Dupont Circle. Her daughter, Margaret. 38, works at Sweet Briar College of which the new U. S. Assistant Treasurer's sister, Dr. Meta Glass, is president.
