Wikipedia description:
John Wesley Snyder (June 21, 1895 – October 8, 1985) was an American businessman and senior federal government official. Thanks to his close personal friendship with President Harry S. Truman, Snyder was appointed Secretary of the Treasury during the Truman administration. He was the first native-born Arkansan to hold a U.S. Cabinet post. Historian Alonzo Hamby emphasizes Snyder's conservatism, noting that he was openly skeptical of New Deal policies, broad social programs, and intellectuals who believed the economy could be centrally managed from Washington.
