THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., NOVEMBER 8, 1931—PART ONE. « A-S CURTIS” SLENCE ON 153 INBROKEN Leaves for West, but Plans; to Remove Doubt by End of Month. ___ (Continued From First Page) _ will be better next year than had been expected. The Republicans in Kansas have been badly split factionally. It is known that the Vice President has used his good offices in recent months to- ward bringing these factions into line. Many of the Vice President's friends believe that in the end he will seek the Republican nomination for the Sen- ate, although they admit frankly that they are not & his confidence in the matter. The party candidate for President, particularly when it is a President seek- ing re-election, has an important voice in the selection of his running mae. It has been understood that President Hoover is entirely willing to have Mr. Curtis again for his running mate When it was suggested months ago tlut | Mr. Curtis should enter the Senate race, some of the members of (he Republican National Committee strongly urged him not to give up a place on the na‘ional | ticket, on the theory that to co so| would be & confession of weakness of that ticket. Party Chiefs to Meet. The Republican National Committee is to meet here December 15 and if Vice President Curtis should by that time have deciared his intention ¢f not becoming a candidate for Vice Pr dent the party chieftains will have an- other important question to discuss— the selection of a new running mate for Mr. Hoover. 3 A long list of possible nominees for | Vice President in case the Vice Presi- dent took himself out of the picture has been suggested, including the pres- ent senior Senator from Kansas, Arthur Capper; Secretary of War Hurley master General Brown, the Republica floor leader of the House, Representative John Q. Tilson of Connecticut; Senator “Jim"” Watson of Indiana, the Repub- lican leader of the Senate. Until the death of the late Senator Dwight W. Morrow of New sey many prominent Republicans believed there would be a strong effort to prevail upon Mr. Mor- Tow to become the vice presidential candidate. The political situation in Kansas has been dark for the Republicans, owing largely to the low price of wheat and the overproduction and low price of oil. If the Republicans are to elect & Senator there next year they must get together. Any contest in the Re- ublic: primary might spill the roth and make the re-election of Sen- ator McGill, the Democrat who de- feated former Senator Henry J. Allen, a sure thing. According to reports here, both Senator Allen and former Gov. Clyde Reed have had in mind running for the senatorial nomination but neither of them would enter a pri- mary against Mr. Curtis, believing that even if they were successful in the pri- mary against Mr. Curtis, they could not thereafter be elected to the Sen- ate. It is believed that the Vice Presi- dent's decision rests largely upon whether he i st have the united sup- ::cfl. of the Republicans in the event he omes a candidate for the Senate. Misses Active Place. The Vice President gave up a Senate seat to take his present office. It has been said that he misses the active life of the Senate floor in his position as residing officer of that body and that Be “Wouid Jike again to return to the Senate to wind up his long career in public life. He was Republican leader of the Senate when he became a can- didate for Vice President, and regarded as one of the most astute politicians in that body, with ability to get results in_conference. During his visit to California, Mr. Curtis will address the motion picture producers and a group of editors. He . was accompanied on the trip by his sister, Mrs. Edward E. Gann, and Mr. | Gann. | Organization of the Senate by the Republicans when the Congress meets seems assured, no matter what may | happen in the House of Representatives. | The Republicans today have 47 Senate seats, and Gov.

A spe- cial electiou must be held to fill the | Caraway seat, and that will not be pos- | sible, it is believed, uatil the first of the year. The sole Farmer-Labor Senator, Sena- | tor Shipstead of Minnesota, has not in- dicated how he will vote on organization of the Senate, but it appears now that | the Republicans will have an actual ma- jority when the Senate meets, | Republican Progressives, who have been understood to be opposed. in some cases, to Senator Moses of New Hamp- shire holding on as President pro-tem- | pore of the Senate, said yesterday it was | not their intention of moving to sup- | plant Mr. Moses with another man.

Death has completed its passage through one complete tier of the Senate Office Building with the passing last night of Senator Car- away of Arkansas. By an odd coincidence the last four members of the Senate to die occupled offices, one immediately over the other, in the four floors of the Senate Office Building. Senator Greene of Vermont, who died last Winter, had office 311. Senator Overman of North Carolina, who_followed him in death, had office 211. Senator Morrow of New Jersey, who was the next to die, had office 111. Senator Caraway was in office 411. 1975 WOMEN IN'31 RECEIVE U. .

Showing an ever-widening scope of ctivity, 7,976 received appointments in the last fiscal year, according to fig- ures from the Civil Service Commis- sion, this being about 20 per cent of the appointments made in the classified service, which totaled 38,461. Postal work claimed a large propor- tion, with 1041 getting fourth-class postmasterships. In addition to these, there were 110 taken on as postmasters at third-class offices and 15 at second- class offices, through competitive ex- aminations, at salaries ranging from $1.100 to $3,000 annually. There were also 458 commissioned for additional four-year terms as postmasters. 16 Carry Rural Mail Sixteen became rural mail carriers | and 107 post office clerks.
