WALKER, SAILING, DENESHDEIT Former Mayor, En Route to New York, Plans to Avoid Politics. By the Associated Press. SOUTHAMPTON, England October 25.—A slender, energetic, little man moved slowly up a crowded gangplank of the liner Manhattan early today as the ship lay wrapped in a deep fog. No band played “Will You Love Me in December as You Did in May?” ‘There were no cheers. No one cried, “So long, Jimmy!” He was just another passenger! James J. Walker leaving England on his way back to his native New York. | 4 Once a symbol of New York to New York's millions, Walker was going home after three years of what he called a “hide-out for health” from the strain of American political life. For an hour before the boat sailed he stood up in his old-time, urbane manner and with foresnic poise an- swered the questions of London news- paper men who wanted to know why he went abroad in 1932, at a time when the cables were humming with reports of Gov. Franklin D. Roose- | velt's censure of his mayoral regime. He explained he was not going back now because “the coast is clear"—be- cause Federal authorities had an- nounced they were dropping all inves- tigations of his income tax—but be- cause his health had improved enough in three years abroad to permit it. “Personally, I am through definitely with politics,” he said. “I'll never run for office again.” Walker emphasized he had dis- carded his role of frequenter of Broad- way bright spots, as well as purveyor of the metropolitan wisecrack, in view | of the new dignity required by his; practice of law. He intends to resume his legal work on arrival in New York. With him as he sailed was his actress-wife, Betty Compton, whom he married after his retreat from the hubbub of a New York existence and divorce from his first wife. The former Broadway star backed up Walker’s assertion that she had no intention of resuming her career, that | “marriage is a 24-hour job and she’s through with the stage.” The Manhattan is due in New York October 31, ———e GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY |2 ELECTS FLEMING Riggs National Bank President to Succeed John Joy Edson as Treasurer. Robert V. Fleming, president of the | Riggs National Bank and first vice| president of the American Bankers’| Association, will succeed the late John | Joy Edson as | treasurer of the National Geo- graphic Society, | it was decided yesterday at a meeting of the Board of Trus- tees. Edson had served as treas- urer from 1901 until his death two months ago. A native of Washington, Fleming has been in the banking g business here for & V- Flemins. 27 years and is widely recognized for his leadership in financial, com- mercial and civic affairs of the city. In 1933 he was awarded the Cosmo- politan Club medal and citation as the citizen who performed the most outstanding civic service during the ‘ear. y He has official affiliations with a variety of national and local civic and business groups and is a life trustee of the Geographic Society.

More than 200 women representing the various auxiliary groups support- ing the Florence Crittenton Home, 4759 Reservoir road, attended a rally &t the institution today. Reports from representatives of the 23 cifcles featured the program in which Mrs. Reba Barrett Smith, gen- eral superintendent of the 60 homes throughout the country, outlined ac- tivities of the Washington home since its founding in the early 90's. Mrs. Thomas E. Robertson, presi- dent of the Board of Managers at the home here, described its management, alms, and accomplishments, Mrs. Smith compared the Washing- fon home with others she visited on 8 recent trip through the mid-West, citing the charm and dignity of the institution here as one of the most important phases of its service. The Big Sister movement, and the method of securing employment for the girls, ‘were also highly commended as a step beyond that of most charitable erganizations, ‘The various circles, whose members attended the rally day program, serve 8s auxiliary units to the Community Chest which directly maintains the home. 5 Use the Week End for REPAIR TO THE HOME Cold weather will be here shortly.
