Rumors of an impending shake-up in the Republican national organization fell like a house of cards before a| breeze today after Repubiican leaders had talked with President Hoover, who returned to Washington yesterday. Reports that Senator Fess of Ohio was about to be eliminated as chairman jof the Republican National Committee and that Secretary Hurley of the War | Department or "Postmaster - General | | Brown or one of half a dozen others mentioned for the place would succeed Senator Fess turned out to be mere gossip. The plan now is, according to those in | 1140 FIFTEENTH ST A SAFE DEPOSITORY FOR40 YEARS CAASPINWALL . PRESIDENT on a5 chairman of the National Com- mitte>, certainly for some months, and perhaps until Congress assembles again in December, Agrees to Hoover’s Wishes, It is understood to be the President's desire that the Ohio Senator continue at the helm. Senator Fess, it is well un- derstood, however, has expressed a de- sire to be relieved of the additional bur- den of the chairmanship at soxe future time. It is also understood, however, that he has agreed to go ahead as chair- man as long as President Hoover desires him to do so. Furthermore, reports that Secretary Hurley and Gov. Theodore Roosevelt of Porto Rico were being groomed for the vice presidential nomination on a ticket with President Hoover next year ap- parently have little basis in fact. All indications still are that Vice President Curtis will be the nominee to succeed himself unless he should determine that he will make a race for his old place in the Senate against Senator McGill, Democrat, in the election next year. Secretary Hurley, who accompanied the Prefldent on his recent trip to Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands, has re- turned declaring his_intention to sup- port Mr. Curtis for the vice presidency. It was reportzd today that there was no substance to the talk about Gov.| Roosevelt ior the vice presidency, cer- tainly not at this time. ‘Watson at White House. Senator Watson of Indiana, Repub- | lican leader of the Senate, spent an hour and a half with the President this ) morning, breakfasting with him at the | | White House. The Vice President con- ferred with President Hoover at the ‘White House vesterday. Senator Watson gave it as his opin- ion that there would be no tax-increase legislation advanced at the next Con- gress by the administration. He pre- dicted the deficit now ccnfronting the Treasury will be handled through the issue of short-term securities. The Indiana Senator said he ex- pected the Federal Farm Board would soon lay before the country an account in detail of what the board has done to advance the cause of orderly market- ing. He indicated he believed the board would be able to make an excellent | showing. The agricultural situation was ‘ cne of the topics which he discussed with the President, he added. As far as the chairmanship of the National Committee is concerned, Sen- ator Watson said both he and the Presi- dent agreed there was “no great rush.” “I think the President feels politics|is should be adjourned for the present, and the country should be allowed an opportunity to rehabilitate itself indus- %rvl.Uy and economically,” said Senator atson. 1t is understood the vice presidential situation also was discussed by Sen. ator Watson with the President.

Roosevelt last night took cognizance of an unofficial poll 'of Democratic na- tional delegates which indicated a pref- erence for him as the 1932 presidential candidate, by calling attention to an earlier statement on a similar matter. “The Governor respectfully calls the | attention * of editorial writers and others,” he said of the poll announced | by Jesse Isador Straus, “to a statement | issued by him cn November 7, 1930, which he now desires to reiterate.” The statement, issued by the Gover- nor shortly after th> Democratic State chairman, James A. Farley, had de- clared the plurality given Mr. Roosevelt in the 1930 gubernatorial election indi- cated his presidential strength, said: “On several occasions during the two years I have stated unequivocally that I am giving no consideration or thought or time to anything except the duties of the governorship. I re- peat that now, and to be perfectly clearly understood, you can add that this applies to any candidacy, national or otherwise. Experience shows me that I was right two years ago in be- lieving that I should give all my ener- gies and lhouzhu to the governorship.” POLICEMAN ACCUSED Autoist Charges His Probe of Fa- tal Crash Was Unfair.

PHILADELPHIA, March 31.—Surgery has brought sight to Earl Musselman, 22, student at the Pennsylvania Insti- tute for the Blind. Born without pupils, he had never seen the light until yesterday, when, weeks after a delicate operation, the bandages were removed. “It is almost a miracle,” said. “I am particularly thrilled at the | coloring of flowers. To me they had |always been soft and fragrant. I was astonished at their beauty. |"“I hardly knew what T expected to | see, but everything was a revelation.
