Herbert Hoover, titular head of the Republican party, was reported authoritatively tonight to be planning to wield from a position in the weight of that title in shaping: the Republican party for the 1936 campaign. As the former president planned to leave tomorrow for his Palo Alto home he left a somewhat divided opinion as to his own aspirations, among the more than two score political leaders and acquaintances who conferred with him. Opinion Divided One-group received what one of its members called a distinct impression that Mr. Hoover does not now intend to seek the position.

There were others, however, who while not saying he would "seek' the nomination, asserted after talking with him that he would like once more to carry the Republican standard against Franklin D. Koosove.lt. To no one, so far as could be learned, did the former president say that if the nomination was thrust upon him he would decline to accept it. one usually informed quarter it was asserted that Mr. Hoover felt he had much to gain by not making any open move toward the candidacy.

In the first place, it ng, the reunion was brought to an end at Shrine auditorium.

Apr. A strict neutrality policy to keep America free from entanglements in foreign wars was shaped today by President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull. The latter carried the White House the results of a still incomplete exploration of the intricate problems involved. His departmental aids have been conducting the study, which is to be made the basis for such a policy, for nearlj year. Favors Resolutions In apparently authoritative quarters, it was learned that Mr Roosevelt has ideas of his own on the subject.

As part of such a plan it was said, he favors two resolutions introduced only yesterday by Chairman Nye of the senate munitions, committee and Senator Clark Democrat, Missouri, one of its members. These would Impose a embargo upon American loans to belligerent nations for the purpose of purchasing munitions or other contraband, and would empower the President to keep venturesome Americans out of war areas by the simple expedient of them passports.
