MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1936. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. ADMR. STANDLEY SLATED TO RETIRE May Head Maritime Body. *Leahy Mentioned for Chief of Operations. BY the Assoclated Press. Rounding out 45 years’ active serv- ice, Admiral William H. chief of naval operations, is scheduled for retirement January 1. If unofficial predications now cur- rent materialize, however, it will be some time before the square-jawed, graying sea fighter can settle down to full retirement in his Ocean Beach home near San Diego, Calif. President Roosevelt was described In some sources yesterday as wanting Admiral Standley to head the newly created Maritime Commission to ad- minister the Government’s merchant ‘marine subsidy laws. Informal discussion of his possible successor as the Navy's chief admin- istrative officer centers upon Admiral ‘William D. Leahy, who holds the sec- ond highest flag command in the fleet—commander of the battle force. Standley will be just two weeks past the statutory age of 64 on New Year day, which compels all officers to re- linquish active duty in the naval . service. Leahy, who is three years younger than ,Standley, has served once as chief of the Bureau of Navigation. The appointmeht to fill Standley’s post probably will be made soon by President Roosevelt. During his three years as “opnav’— the Navy code for chief of naval op- erations—Standley has been one of the driving forces behind the admin- istration’s program to bujld the Navy up to full strength allowed by existing treaties and inaugurate after that an order system of warship replacement. .

Again Rush to Station. Three minutes after the train halted the wheels of the cars began to re- volve. The onlookers turned tuward their automobiles. Suddenly, how- ever, they rushed again for the sta- tion. The train had made another stop. The Republican supporters peered through windows plastered with sunflower “Landon and Knox” stickers, hopeful of at least a glimpse of the Republican nominee. At 9:56, however, the traln left once more, this time for gold, to hurry Gov. Landon to Baltimore, where he later made a half-hour speech, and to Philadelphia, where he is to talk tonight. In the forefront of Washingtonians who stood at the station were Mrs. Colladay, Mr. and Mrs. Cooper Rhodes, Miss Mildred Reese, Mrs. George Hart, Mrs. Brucé Hoggson, Alanson B. Houghton, former Ambas- sador to Germany; David C. Colladay and Dr. Camp Stanley. GREETS D. C. GROUP. Landon Expects to Be “Neighbor Affer January.” B 2 Staff Correspondent of The Star. BALTIMORE, October 26.—Greet- ing Washingtonians and Baltimoreans as his “neighbors after January,” Gov. Alf M. Landon, Republican candidate for President, received a rousing neighborly ovation here today on the occasion of his first campaign address in Maryland, following a brief stop an hour earlier in the District of Columbia. Gov. Landon expressed regret to a delegation of Washington Republi- cans at his inability to make an ap- pearance at Langdon, D. C., where several hundred amirers of the Kansan had gathered in anticipation of hear- ing a few words from the candidate. Edward F. Colladay and Mrs, Vir- ginia White Speel, Republican Na- tional Cominittee members from the District of Columbia, and a number of other Washington Republicans had what they described as “an interest- ing chat” with Gov. Landon as his train, the Sunflower Special, carried him from the District to Baltimore, for a half-hour address at the Mount Royal Station. Colladay and Paul E. Lesh, presi- dent of the Landon-Knox Campaign Committee for the District, said they assured Landon of the “active and united support” of District Repub- licans in his campaign for election, and that “these friends fully expect to renew their acquaintance with Gov. Landon as a neighbor after Inaugura- tion day.” Landon appeared cheered by the assurances he received from the Dis- trict of Columbia delegation, as well as from Gov. Harry W. Nice and a group of Baltimore Republicans who had boarded the train at Langdon. Colladay said there was no time for @ discussion with Gov. Landon of any Standley, |* purely local topics. He said Landon greeted the Washington group cor- dially, shaking hands not only with the Republican Committee members and Lesh, but with former Ambassador Alanson B. Houghton, an “adopted member” of the Washington delega- tion; Col. Ord Preston, Edward F. Col= laday, jr.; David Colladay, Mrs. Bruce Colladay, Francis Wells, colored dele- gate to the Republican convention, and others of the local organization. “We assured Gov. Landon,” Colladay said, “that the Republicans in the District of Columbia had never been better organized, in better financial shape and more united than in the present campaign.” . Purse Snatcher Leaves Address With His Victim Police. Check Name on aper Dropped in Flight. Police officials wondered today whether they had been confronted with a new type of purse-snatcher— one who considerately leaves his name and address with his victims. While pondering the question, they were checking the name and address found on a slip of paper which a colored man dropped last night after seizing a purse containing $41 from the hands of Elsie Lubore, 25, of the 3000 block of Fourteenth street. ‘The robber, accompanied by a colored girl, confronted his victim near Eleventh and D streets north- east. After taking the woman's pocketbook, the couple ran away, but a short distance away the man dropped the slip of paper. Police, of course, admit there is a possibility the thief might inten- tionally have left the name of some other man. —_— PLANE CRASH KILLS TWO ARMY FLYERS By the Assoclated Press, « BRYANS MILL, Tex., October 26.— Two Army flyers, tentatively identified as Capt. Charles Howard and Corpl. Edward Gibson, Langley Field, Va., were burned to death here Saturday when their twin-motored bomber crashed during a heavy rain, Maj. B. 8. Thompson, commandant of Hensley Field, Army airport at Dallas, said he was certain Capt. Howard was pilot of the plane. A key ring and papers found on the body of the other man were the basis for Gib- son’s identification. The ring bore the notation, “E. N. Gibson, 8th A. 8., Scott Field, IIL.” A wallet containing pilot’s license No. 210043, issued to Edward Gibson, 96th Bombardment Squadron, Langley Field, was found near the wreckage. ‘The plane crashed in a heavy rain midway between Texarkana and Mount Pleasant, Tex. Officers from Barksdale Field Shreve- port, La., removed the bodies to Shreveport last night. Synagogue Leagues to Meet.

P A “And, finally, the illegal use of your money, the taxpayers' money, for propaganda to build up class hatred and intrench the New Deal in power.” Declaring he had asked Mr. Roose- velt repeatedly if he intended to “re- vive the N. R. A. and the A. A. A, which the Supreme Court has de- clared to be contrary to our American form of Government,” Landon said: “So far his reply has been a long, loud silence.” “There can be an honest difference of opinion,” the Kansan continued, “as to whether the proposals of the ad- ministration for one-man Government hold the solution of our social and economic problems, but there can be no difference of opinion on this: The President’s theory of Government should be presented frankly to the people at the polls. He has no right to ask for votes without telling the people his intentions.” Two “Systems” Cited. “After all” he said, “there can be only two systems of Government; the one where the Government is the master. of the people and the other where it is the servant of the people. ‘This is the real issue in this cam- paign.” “The President,” he continued, “may not see where his policies are leading, but the men in the intimate circle If You Suffer With Kidney Trouble You can restore kidneys to normal functioning by following the health resort method at home. rink Mountain Valley Mineral Water direct from famous Hot Springs, Arkansas.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 26.—A complete tie-up of thes Pacific Coast water front was threatened today by an expected walkout of 37,000 mari- time union workers and failure of shipowners to accept a “compromise” offer by the labor organizations.
