CLINTON: HHS NOMINEE WON'T BE DERAILED

President Clinton has selected Mary Jo Bane of New York to be an assistant secretary of Health and Human Services, apparently viewing as no major obstacle reports that she failed to pay taxes on college students she hired for household work.

Clinton plans to nominate Bane, New York state commissioner of social services, to be assistant secretary for children and families, HHS Secretary Donna Shalala said Friday in statement that did not mention the controversy.

As assistant secretary, Bane would oversee the department's Administration for Children and Families. The agency has a $30 billion budget and oversees Aid to Families with Dependent Children, Head Start and child-support enforcement.

In other appointments, Clinton:

Selected Leslie Samuels, a New York lawyer, for the administration's top tax policy post.

Nominated Thomas Glynn, Brown University's senior vice president for finance and administration, to be deputy secretary of labor.

Nominated Phil Lader, founder of the "Renaissance Weekend" seminars in South Carolina, to be deputy director of management at the Office of Management and Budget.
