PRESIDENT PLANS BOOK AFTER REST Retirement Will Be Followedpian by Preparation of Data for History. BY THEODORE C. WALLEN (In the New York Hetald-Tribune.) President Hoover's preparations for retiring to private life on March 4 have satisfled his friend. that he con- templates accepting no immediate new yesponsibility except a task which he has set up for himself of putting the documents of his administration in order for the benefit of history. H The President’s tentative plans sug- gest that he will remain uncommitted for most of his first year after leaving office. It is understood that he is lo return without delay to his home on the West Coast and engage in some Spring stream fishing in California and some deep-sea fishing in the. Pacific before undertaking the work of assem- bling and annotating the papers which tell the story of his presidency. This task is expected to follow the lin~; of that which resulted in his accumulating what is said to be the| largest collection of war documents in existence, a collection which is now on file at Leland Stanford, Junior, Uni- versity. The facilties of the university will be at his disposal in preparing the comprehensive record of his adminis- tration. Nearly 20 tons of material, it is estimated, are being prepared for shipment across the continent in 82 filing cases recently ordered for the President’s sonal account, Documents of Wilson, A similar store of documents which Woodrow Wilson teck with him out of the White House became the basis of n Stannard _Baker's biographical series on the World War President. Friends of Mr. Hoover are satisfled that he has no thought of writing an auto- biography or of doing much writing of any kind in the immediate future. Rather they understand that, with the benefit of a fresh viewpoint after a much-needed rest, he will prepare & collection of papers which in them- selves will trace the course of events with which he has been identified. This_record is likely to go back be- yond the beginning of the Hoover ad- ministration, perhaps to the time when he turned from his career as a mining engineer to become focd administrator | in Belguim. FPriends resist the thought of political implications in the work and insist that, while Mr. Hoover is burning r.o bridges behind him, he is centent to let the future take care of itself. ‘The effect of the President’s tenta- tive plan would be to remove him from the national political center of gravity during the early part of the Roose- velt administration at least. He will remain the titular Republican leader, and as such is even now interesting himself in steps to reorganize the pub- lcity bureau of the Republican Na- tional Committee. This, it is explained by party leaders with whom he has discussed the question, is to the end of maintaining a strong two-party sys- tem and not witih an eye to a cam- ]dzsig'n to discredit the incoming Presi- ent. Republican Activity Limited. In the wake of the November politi- cal cyclone, which swept Republicans from control of the executive end leg- islative branches and turned nearly the whole political landscape Democratic, there will be little Republican national political activity outside the walls of Congress for some time. A group of the President’s friends is out to clean up the, party deficit of miore than | $200,000, and there is no present plan | to call the National Committee to- gether. Only one of the' President's secre- tariat of four is certain to remain with him after March 4. Lawrence Richey, his canfidential secretary, who ceme up from the Department ¢f Commerce with him, will continue in his service, representing him here in Washingtor perticularly in the documentation work and attending to some of the Presi- dent's personal business affeirs. ‘The future of Walter H. Newton, the President’s pclitical secretary, will de- pend on the Senate's final attituds to- ward his npmination by the President for a judgeship. Theodore G. Joslin, the Président’s press secretary and the latest addition to the White House sec- retariat, will not return to his former post _as Washington correspondent of the Boston Transcript, but has other pl in mind which remain unan- nounced. French Strother, the President's ad- | ministrative assistant, will return to his | home in Garden City and resume his work 25 an author. The documents which the President takes with him from th> White House will in most instances be the originals | of his correspondence. The long-stand- | ing tradition has been that a retiring, Precident is entitled to his own papers, | that he is elected by all the people to | earry on the responsibilities of the office | that the corrspondence relating the exercise of those responsibilities Jelongs to him. { ?

Mrs. Avery's statement was made in connection with a general attack on the marital status clause of the economy act. This provision, which calls for dis- charge of either husband or wife where both are in Government service, when a reduction of force is necessary, was described by the speaker as inequitable and unjust. She added that it is im- portant to know if there is “any guar- jantee that the omes to be retained ‘will be those persons supporting large families, and not single men without dependents.’ m'm« department delegates a e mitted by Miss Ethel M.

McBride Gratified|t2e by Difference on Form of Law Change. The divergence of opinion among congressional advocates of prohibition repeal as to the form a repeal resolu- tion should take was hailed today by Dr. P. Scott McBride, general superin- tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, as a source of gratification to dry leaders. “All this confusion helps make less possible the repeal of the eighteenth amendment,” Dr. McBride said in an interview, “and the fact that the wets o can’t agree on a substitute is the proof that the eighteenth amendment is the best solution.” The dry leader made clear, howerver, that temperance organizations are defl- nitely aligned against the resolution for modified repeal as reported to the Sen- ate Monday by the Judiciary Committee. Sees “Tough Sledding.” Though it is evident Dr. McBride considers the return of the liquor traf- fic not improbable, he predicts “tough sledding” for the wets. They will have many hurdles to take in the House, which, he claims is as dry this year as s last, and will be wet in the next ssion only because a large number of ry Democrats have been coerced into following their party platform. He is convinced that the Democrats in the House will never vote for submission unless it is in conformity with their platform and that the wets are going to find plenty of organized opposition if repeal is taken to the State conven- tions for ratification. Ifit goes to the State Legislatures .ather than to State conventions, as _gecified in both plat- forms, the wets will try and hurry the legislation through in order to catch s ENJOY A NEW HOTEL - OYERNOR For YOU—radio with your choice of programs, sun- shiny outside rooms, each with bath or shower, Serv- idor, comfortable beds and rates that start at §3 for one and only §1 more for TWO!
