Renewed indication: Weeks will retire as Department were followed preparations In several quarte to lay before qualifications of various potential can- didates for the vacanc It is likely that a great number of names will be submitted to the Presi- dent by Senators and party leaders.

Objections Raised. Some of the Republican leaders have pointed out to Mr. Coolidge, however, that a shift of either Mr. Work or Mr. New to the War Department would, by oreating another 2 make it nec ary that two members of the reconstituted official mily in stead of one avould have to learn the particular ins and outs of the official machinery placed under their care. It is emphasized, too, that neither the Interior Secret. nor the Postmas- ter General s seeking a transfe Among_those outside the pre: cabinet, Charles D. Hilles of New York is conceded to rank high among the availables, but one influential section of the Republican leadership in Wash- ington will strongly advise that the President 1ook to the West to supply the cabinet appointee. Western Sen- tors have a number of names they ant to present. ‘The apparent conviction of Mr. Weeks that he cannot return to his post is a much regret among many Is in Washington, but of genu atification among many of his several friends. Some of his closest intimates here have strongly advised him not to undertake again the seri ous duties which during the past four e overtaxed his strength and depleted his health Butler Mentioned. With Mr. Weeks' withdrawal, the President’s home State of Massachu- ectts will lose its representation ‘in the cabinet, and one suggestion heard today was that Senator Wiliam M Butler of that State, now chairm of the Republican national committee, might be elevated to a place in the official family of the President. Should ch an appointment be made, Mr. Butler probably would become Post- master General, a post held by numera ous party chairmen in the past, and Mr. New transferred to the War De- partment. In the opinion of some Republ leaders here Mr. Hilles may elimi himself from consideration in order to remain active in New York State politics. His name has been men- tioned in political gossip here regard- ing the Republican gubernatorial nomination in 1926, and there have been some indications that he would be acceptable to a powerful group of New York party lead Commissioned in 0.

Officials have already recognized that the Internal Revenue Bureau, which collects Uncle Sam'’s income and is now housed in more than a dozen dif- ferent and scattered buildings in the city, should be among the early con- siderations.

A survey recently made of the Depart- ment of Agriculture and its activitie outlined three specific alternate plans for building. This survey, conducted by the supervising architect’s office, is now in the hands of the Secretary of Agriculture, who appointed a spe- cial committee to review the relative merits in the three plans.

President Coolidge does not favor a bond issues, which increases the public debt, merely to build structures for Federal purposes, but if the sound principles of the real estate business can be applied to the Government's problem and money saved, he not only is willing but anxlous that such a plan be evolved, even if it does include the issuance of first mortgage bonds.
