Dr. Kodjamanis, well known for his friendly attitude to the Jews, will be appointed Governor General of Salonica it was forecast here yesterday.

Dr. Kodjamanis will replace Governor General Gonatas, who has held the office for the last three years. Gonatas will, it is believed, become president of the Senate, and has already departed for Athens in this connection.

Governor General Gonatas has always been suspected of entertaining a somewhat unfriendly attitude toward the Jews. This feeling received impetus in particular after the Hellenistic disturbances.

The Jewish population is surer with regard to the attitude of Dr. Kodjamanis, who lived in Salonica for many years as a practicing physician and has made many friends among the Jews.
