Plans for taking steps to build up the local organization to a high state of efficiency, it is expected, will be taken up between Commander Scho- field and Lieut. Commander Hoefer a week from tomorrow night. It is un- derstood that officers will be selected for the staff details in the organiza- tion, and also the division command- ers. who will be given instructions to work immediately to recruit to full strength as quickly as possible. While Lieut. Commander Hoefer, it was said, will retain the detail as executive officer, no selections have as vet been made for gther staff po- sitions in the organization. The de- tail of Commander Hoefer to command the Eagle 56 is to be in addition to his duties as executive officer of the land- ing force. Commander Hoefer, how- ever, will be given authority to ee- lect ‘for detail officers who will form the permanent cruising complement of the Eagle 56, These include the executive officer, navigator, chief en- gineer and division officer. Commander Schofield, who is to command the organization, is a na- citie itirely. “The average motorist purchases gasoline when he needs it, and a one- cent increase in price per gallon is not going to cause him to go very far out of his road in order to avoid it. “However, I suppose you have gone into this matter very fully. and would appreciate you writing me briefly as to the premises upon which you base your position in requesting the Dis- trict of Columbia to levy a similar tax.

Chief lieutenant of Senator Matthew Stanley Quay, whose representative he had been in the Pennsylvania legisla- ture for many years, Penrose did not at first take a very prominent part in Tepublican party councils at Washing- ton. Until his death, however, he never iost prestige as the leader of his party in his own state. Blunt at all times, but with a reputation that could be trusted in a political deal. Senator Pen- rose made fast friends and irreconcil- able enemies. The latter often charged him with representing the “interests.” Advoeate of Interveatio: Senator Penrose was an early advo- eate of United States iIntérvention in Mexico and in 1913 introduced a reso- lution requesting that American troops be sent into the republic south of the Rio Grande.” He was an un- ylelding opponent of the Wilson ad- sinistration and particularly of the draft of the treaty of peace as sub- mitted to the Senate by President ‘Wilson.
