The first definite step toward an

O'BRIEN BACK
INROLPH'S FOLD
SACRAMENTO, June 5—(UP)—
Daniel J. O’Brien, former director of
penology, is. back wih the Rolph administration.
He has agreed to accept a state
post as deputy director of the motor vehie¢le department. The appointment was made by Theodore Roche,
director.
The job, like Roche’s, carries ne
remuneration. O’Brien’s bhai d were
not specified .
O’Brien’s return was regarded as
significant from the political standpoint. First, it. killed-~ rumors that
the former Sanh Francisco police.
commissioner and ‘Rolph were at
“outs.” Second, it brought back into the administration fold. a keen
political head whose counsel will be
of invaluable assistance to the governore in the 1934 campaign.
The former direetor of penology
resigned a day or so after the legis_
lature virtually abolished his position by removing the $3,600 annual
salary. O’Brien had been absent for
about a year in Europe, recovering
from ill health.
It was. believed that O’Brien’s
chief duty will be to advise the governor on political matters. Rolph is
facing a stiff campaign—this assuming, as everyone does, that he will
be a candidate for reelection—and
will need. all the counsel he can secure. An idea of the task ahead of
Rolph is the fact that only. one California governor, Hiram Johnson, has
been reelected in the state’s history.
O’Brien was brought inte the
Rolph administration early in 1931
along with other San Franciscans
who had. long been associated with
the governor during his 20-year tenure as: mayor of the bay city metropolis. He was born in San Francisco. Twenty-five years ago he secured a job as patrolman. He worked
up through the ranks and was appointed chief in 1920. Eight years
later he retired, only to be appointed
police commissioner a year later. He
resigned that job in. 1930 and shortly thereafter was ~named directory
of penology.
