STITHEN.SON Associated Pre; StafI Writer. WASHINGTON. Nov.

leaders are planning to install a new national machine in operation shortly after thus administration goes out next March 4. Everett Sanders, of Indiana, manager of the recent unsuccessful campaign as chairman of the Republican National Committee. Is destined to be succeeded and a wholesale reorganization of national headiunrters is planned. Into the deliberations of party chieftains has been thru't a demand by SensTr Johnson, of California, who bolted the Hoover ticket to support Governor Roosevelt, for a "new deal" within the ranks. President Hoover, though defeated.

Is the titular leader in the mines of many Republicans on Capitoi Hill. He already has called on the party to look ahead and Is expected to aid In the reorganization. However, the old guard of the pary as well as the indepedents who de-terted the President in the campaign, are. for the most part, not taking; Mr. Hoover much Into account In tr new set up.

How far the old party regulars who fought determinedly against Hoover's nomination In 1928 and the Independents, who refused his leadership in 1932 can act together is a question Senator Johnson did not think in terms of personalities his "new deal" demand, talkitw rather on party principles. There Is a division of opinion In Republican circles whether President has an ambition for a second term Certain it la that regardless of a reorganization there will be many of Mr. Hoover's loyal lieutenants in key positions on the national committee. The names of Vice President Curtts and Senators Moses, of New Hampshire and Watson, of Indiana, most frequently are heard In the discussions of leaders of the reorganizations movement. All leave office on March 4 by virtue of defeats on November 8.

Importuned to take various in the new machine, these men are reserving Judgment. Mre.s mentioned often as a possible director of publicity as wtcII as a national chairman. WORKHOUSE TRUSTEES SEE NEW PRISON Joseph S. Hamilton, president; A. Victor Hughes.

When Herbert Hoover put the, White House behind him next March he will find stretching before him tra ditional avenue for activity as varied as the fan-shaped streets of the nation's capital. The records of those who went be fore show the man who rose from blacksmith's son to President will have precedent for entering any on of a number of occupations.

History shows the majority of for mer Presidents, beginning with George Washington, retired from public life. James Monroe, when asked to serve as an elector from his native Virginia, refused, stating that a former President should re train from active participation In political contest. He did, however. accept a local magistracy and was a member of the Virginia constltu ilonal convention. Conversely, John Qulncy Adams, when asked to become a candidate to Congress from Plymouth County, replied that "to serve in that capacity could not possibly be be neath the dignity of any American citizen." He was elected and served in Congress until death struck him down in the very chamber itself.

Andrew Johnson was elected a Sena, tor upon retiring from the Presidency but died before taking office. Williaw Howard Taft became Chief Justice of the United States from 1921 until his death In 1930. Theodore Roosevelt and Millard Fillmore were active in politic after forming tlurd parties. The former was nominal head of the Bull Moose or Progressive party while the latter ran for the Presidency again, on the "American" or ''know nothing" party ticket. Roosevelt, on leaving the WTilte House, first went to Africa to hunt big game and collect zoological speci mens for the Smithsonian Institution.

After his defeat in the strenuous three-party election of 1912, he became an associate editor of tlie "Out-look." Gen. U. S. Grant, upon leaving office toured the world and after his return to America embarked upon a business career, which owing to a partner's dishonesty, ended in disaster. He then wrote his "memoirs" at the Instigation of Mark Twain.

The book had a tremendous sale. Grover Cleveland, twice President, came to New York City to practice law after completing his first four year After hts second term he became connected with an insurance company. Rutherford B. Hayes, nineteenth President, left the White House to re-enter the practice of law in Ohio, served on educational boards, and accepted the commandership of the Loyal Legion, an organization of Civil War veterans. Calvin Coolldge, another former President, ho entered the Insurance field, has also done considerable writ ing.

U. S.HOPES FOR ARMED FORCES ContlnuKl From Flrt Put. truce In the discussion of these matters. Although this week's meeting, if It succeeds, may mean only slight reductions, plans already are unflei way to create a mechanism bv mear of which progressive reductions be posslbi. It is believed that France would want Russia as well as Germany Included in any general arrangement, especially since the new Franco- Russia past of non-aggression nas established a new political link between these two countries.

The United States probably would want Japan to participate, and hence any agreement reached Geneva Is likely to be extended later to in clude Japan and Russia. Prevention of bombardment from the air is onc of Mr. Davis" outstanding points. In the field of naval arms the chief prooiem is to enect, hi accord betwen France and Italy that the Washington and London naval treaties could be completed, The Americans, acting solely as helpful Intermediaries, are tackling this problem by keeping the word "parity" out of the discussion, and by trying to get France and Italy to agree on naval building programs up to 1936. It Is said they have made considerable progress along these lines.
