. SENATORS SILENT ON RUNNING AGAIN Gillett and Gould Decline to Reveal Plans for Next Election. By the Associated Press. & The silence of Senators Prederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts and Arthur R. Gould of Maine, as to whether they will be candidates for renomination is com- icating the Republican situation in ew England in the view of some lead- | @rs of the party here. The situation in Massachusetts is of articular interest, both because of the actional differences withir, the party organization and the looming on the borizon of what are described as con- tingent candidates—former Gov. Alvan ‘T. Fuller and Eben 8. Draper, who olled around 140,000 votes in the last epublican senatorial primary. The contingency is whether Senator Gillett offers for renomination. Coolidge Mentioned. Senator Gillett, who will be 78 years old next month, is keeping his own counsel as to his intentions, although some time ago he was quoted as having said that he would retire from the field if former President Coolidge desired to offer for the Senate. The consensus among Republican leaders here gener- ally is that Mr. Coolidge will not enter the senatorial political arena. In Maine, two candidates for the Republican nomination to the place now held by Mr. Gould are in the field —Representative Wallace H. White, who has served 12 years in the House, and former Gov. Ralph O. Brewster. While Senator Gould gave out a state- ment in Paris some time ago that he would not be a candidate to succeed himself unless this should become nec- essary in order to defeat Mr. Brewster, he declines now to indicate whether he will run. “I will make my position clear at the proper time,” he said. However, a number of his friends are of the opinion that he will seek to con- tinue in the place to. which he was elected three years ago to fill out the unexpired term of the late Senator Fernald. Democratic Candidates. Taking advantage of the situation in | which the Republicans find themselves in Massachusetts, the Democrats are planning to conduct a vigorous cam- paign there and entertain high hope of electing & second man of their party to the Senate to sit with David I. Walsh. There is some talk now that the princi- pal candidates for the Democratic nom- ination will be former Mayor Sydney Peters of Boston, and Marcus Coolidge of Fitchburg. In Rhode Island, the Republicans have composed internal differences and Senator Metcalf is expected to be re- nominated without opposition. In the general campaign preceding the- elec- tions in November of next year he will find himself opposed by Peter G. Gerry, Democrat, who was defeated last No- vember after a long service in the Senate. Senatorial elections also are to be held next year in New Hampshire, with the possibility that former Gov. John | G. Winant will oppose Senator Keyes for the Republican nomination. Thel Republicans_anticipate no_ difficulty in electing their candidates in both New Hampshire and Maine in the general election. Vermont and Connecticut, the other two New England States, hold their next senatorial elections in 1932. .

Husband and Wife Resume Studies at Colleges After Wedding. The marriage of 17-year-old Evelyn a junior at Virginia Polytechnic Ins! tute, in Rockville, Md., on September 15, was formally announced today by the parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Harper Dean, 2057 Park road. In- stead of a honeymoon the bride and bridegroom returned to their respective colleges. The youthful couple slipped away with friends and were quietly married, thus extending a romance which began a year ago at White Faven, the Summer home of the Deans in_the Shenandoah Valley. ‘The parents, afthough they had | hoped the couple would defer the mar- riage until they could complete their education, offered no objection to the match after the wedding.

The Joint Conference on Retirement of Civil Service Employes will stand by | the provision in the retirement law to the effect that after August, 1930, nul employe shall be granted more than two 2-year extensions of service beyond the retirement age. The executive com- mittee of the conference decided ye: terday afternoon to oppose any move ment to allow unlimited time exten- sions. According to Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary-treasurer of the National Federation of Post Office Clerks and secretary of the joint conference on retirement, the purpose and intent of retirement legislation is defeated unless there is a fixed age limit. “The retirement law will be in operation 10 years next August and we believe the time will then be opportune to estab- lish a definite age limitation,” said Mr. Flaherty. “This is conditioned upon Con- gress incfeasing the annuity to a maxi- mum of $1,2000 The majority of Civil Service employes covered by the act are retired at 65 years, with the privi- lege of two extensions of two years each. This fixes a limitation of 69 years for those who are able to render efficient service. In the case of the 70- year group. such as department em- ployes »in Washington, the extension period will mean a 74-year deadiine. “There has been a disinclination on the part of many aged employes to re- tire because of the meagerness of the annuity. We believe the Seventy-first Congress will correct this and conse- quently it is logical that an age limit be placed on service. This will work to the benefit of the substitutes awaiting appointment and the younger employes who are in line for promotion. Fur- thermore, it will make for a more effi- cient public service. For these reasons we are not in sympathy with the agita- tion to disregard the retirement prin- ciple to suit a few individual cases of veteran employes who may still be effi- clont at an advanced age. Compulsory retirement at 69 or 74 years, dependent upon the group in which the employe is working. is not a hardship for the majority of employes, providing the an- nuity is increased as provided for in | the pending Dale-Lehlbach bill.” e licy == Aim to Use Crude Oil.

Announcement of Gen. Butler's de- cision was made formally to the troops after the regular Wednesday inspection yesterday afternoon.

By Cable to The Star News.' Copyriants 1og0, 0 MY MOSCOW, September 26.—Admiral Mark Bristol and Mrs. Bristol arrived in Moscow today from China, via Japan and Vladivostok. They reported an un- eventful trip, devoid of glimpses of fighting between the Russians and the Chinese, Admiral Bristol says he is simply a tourist, without a diplomatic or other mission, and is making his first visit to Russia. He will spend five days here and in Leningrad, after which he will proceed to Berlin, The Hague and Lon- don and then home for staff duty in Washington. He was amused at re- ports that he is investigating Soviet Russia for President Hoover. He says it is his vacation and that he is seeing museums instead of statesmen. Admiral Bristol yielded command of the Asiatic squadron to Admiral Mac- Veagh on September 9. English Sociologist Arrives.
