THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. THURSDAY. JANUARY 31, 1929, PRESIDENT HOLDS SECRETOF FUTURE Will Take Mystery of Why He Did Not Choose to Run ! With Him to Private Life. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Calvin Coolidge is about to take two great personal secrets with him into private life. choose to run for President in 1928. ‘The other is what he is going' to do with himself after March 4, 1929. ‘The best information obtainable— ad- mittedly based on the putting-two- and-two-together system—is that the | President has not yet made up his mind | about his future activities. 1f h: S, Mr. Coolidge, true to form, has the decision exclusively to himsel ept On the other hand, he may make | it known suddenly, and soon. The Vermonter has a life-time habit of not | broadcasting his intentions on major occasions until he is on the eve of carrying them out. His three closest personal friends—Frank Stea: | Dwight Morrow and former Sen: Butler—had no inkling of the immor- tal I-do-not-choose manifesto of Au- gust 2, 1927, until it was sprung. Mr.| Coolidge’s intimates expect the an- nouncement of his post-presidential | occupation will be forithcoming under | similar circumstances—suddenly 2nd | with an element of surprise attached | to it. { Has Pick of Jobs. Only one thing is certain. Mr. /| Coolidge has his pick of a number of very comfortable jobs. Several of | them are worth more than $100,000 a year. Neither the concerns in| question nor the President himself have | ever confirmed recurring reports, but one or two of them circulate with a persistency that compels the beliof | they may have solid foundation. In | New York the prospect that Mr. Cool- | idge will eventually become chairman | of the board of the United States Steel Corporation is constantly revived. | ‘When the late Judge Gary was suc- | ceeded in that post by J. P. Morgan, | ‘Wall Street said—and is still saying— that the place is merely being kept warm for the retiring President of the United States. The position pays $150,000 a year. Another six-figured executive berth mentioned in connection with Mr. Cool- | idge is the chairmanship of the Amer-| ican Telephone & Telegraph Co., now the biggest capitalized corporation on | earth, The American Petroleum Insti- tute, of which Charles Evans Hughes is general counsel, has also beenn named as an organization which would be glad to enlist President Coolidge's services. ‘When the project was first announced, the suggestion was heard that his name at the head of a concern representing the whole oil industry would work | miracles to “purify” that much-ma- ligned trade and retrieve some of the reputation it has lost on account of the Doheny-Sinclair-Stewart affairs, The President’s native State boasts an old-line. life insuranve company, *“The National of Vermont,” founded by Charles Dewey, brother of Admiral Dewey. There have been circumstantial stateménts $hat Mr. Coolidge is going | to be invif to settle down in quaint and beautiful Montpelier as president of the company. It is in position to offer him an attractive salary. Earle 8. Kinsley of Rutland, Republican na- tional committeeman from Vermont, is 2 “National Life” man and a long-time political associate of Mr. Cooliage. Comrades in Northampton. Current stories of the offer of the University of Michigan presidency to Mr. Coolidge draw attention to the oc- cupation many people think would be most congenial to him. ~ Undoubtedly he could go back to his alma mater, Amherst College, and become its head for the asking. But he probably would prefer the larger field of activity which & great university would provide. One | of Mr. Coolidge’s closest personal driends, the late Dr. Marion Le Roy Burton, was president of Michigan ‘when he placed the Vernonter in nom- ination at the Cleveland national con- vention in 1924. Coolidge and Burton were comrades when the former was a lawyer and the latter a professor in Northampton. Writing is the thing to which many friends are persuaded that Mr. Cool- idge would most like to dedicate himself, William Howard Taft contributed semi- weekly political articles to the Phila- delphia Public Ledger until he went to the Supreme Court. Mr. Coolidge might have taken up the Chief Jus- tice's newpaper work, but came to the conclusion it would not be becoming | In the Vice President to engage in such | activities, and doubted besides whether | he would have the time. The President | will be the guest in Florida this week of the family group which owns the Public Ledger, New York Evening Post | Chil end Saturday Evening Post. If Mr. Coolidge does choose writing as his after-White House job, he will | be following the precedents of both | Roosevelt and Taft. And he is strong- dy addicted to precedents.

NEW YORK, January 31.—A battle of proxies for control of the chain of Childs’ restaurants seemed today to bz imminent. It was forecast after a coup was executed by William Childs, founder of the $37,000,000 company, which op- erates 125 restaurants throughout the | country. Officers of the company were turned out and replaced by members of his immediate family. Mr. Childs was forced out of the| presidency in December, 1927, by a fac- | tion of stockholders, who blamed his adherence to vegetarian menu for a| falling off in profits. | At a meeting of the directors yes- terday Mr. Childs trained his heavy artillery on Willlam A. Barber, counsel for the companys and the other offi- cers went down with him. In the place of S. Willard Smith, president, Childs put his brother, Luther ds. ~ Another brother, Ellsworth, was made treasurer, and his wife, Vic- toria Childs, was made secretary. Mrs. Childs until her marriage to the restau- rant magnate last year was his private secretary, In explanation for seizing control of | the management Mr. Childs charged that Barber had been directing a stock pany.
