SENATORS Ml ON RUNNING AGAIN Gillett and Gould Decline to Reveal Plans for Next Election. Ms the Associated Press. The silence of Senators Frederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts and Arthur R. Gould of Maine, as to whether they will be candidates for renomination is com plicating the Republican situation in New England in the view of some lead ers of the party here. The situation in Massachusetts is of particular interest, both because of the factional differences within the party organization and the looming on the horizon of what are described as con tingent. candidates —former Gov. Alvan T. Fuller and Eben S. Draper, who polled around 140.000 votes in the last Republican senatorial primary. The contingency is whether Senator Gillett Offers for renomination. Coolidge Mentioned. Senator Gillett, who will be 78 years old next month, is keeping his own counsel as to his intentions, although some time ago he was quoted as having said that he would retire from the field If former President Coolidge desired to offer for the Senate. The consensus among Republican leaders here gener ally is that Mr. Coolidge will not enter the senatorial political arena. In Maine, two candidates for the Republican nomination to the place now held by Mr. Gould are in the field —Representative Wallace H. White, who has served 12 years in the House, and former Gov. Ralph O. Brewster. While Senator Gould gave out a state ment in Paris some time ago that he would not be a candidate to succeed himself unless this should become nec essary in order to defeat Mr. Brewster, he declines now to indicate whether he will run. 'T will make my position clear at the proper time.” he said. However, a number of his friends are ©f the opinion that he will seek to con tinue in the place to which he was elected three years ago to fill out the unexpired term of the late Senator Femald. Democratic Candidate*. Taking advantage of the situation in which the Republicans find themselves in Massachusetts, the Democrats are planning to conduct a vigorous cam paign there and entertain high hope of electing a second man of their party to the Senate to sit with David I. Walsh. There is some talk now that the princi pal candidates for the Democratic nom ination will be former Mayor Sydney Peters of Boston, and Marcus Coolidge of Fitchburg. In Rhode Island, the Republicans have composed internal differences and Senator Metcalf is expected to be re nominated without opposition. In the general campaign preceding the elec tions in November of next year he will find himself opposed by Peter G. Gerry, Democrat, who was defeated last No vember after a long service in the Senate. , . . Senatorial elections also are to he held next vear in New Hampshire, with the possibility that former Gov. John G Winant will oppose Senator Keyes for the Republican nomination. The Republicans anticipate no difficulty in electing their candidates in both New Hampshire and Maine in the general election. . . .. Vermont and Connecticut, the other two New England States, hold their next senatorial elections in 1932. - • ■■ MEDALS AWARDED TO ARMY SURGEONS : J 1 ’ ( Public Health Service Officers Also , Honored by Mexican Government.

MARRIAGE OF EVELYN S. DEAN AND G. K. LEVI IS ANNOUNCED Couple Wed Quietly at Rock ville, Md., Ten Days Ago. Husband and Wife Resume Studies at Colleges After Wedding. The marriage of 17-year-old Evelyn S. Dean ana George Kenneth Levi, 20, a junior at Virginia Polytechnic Insti tute, in Rockville, Md., on September 15, was formally announced today by the parents of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Harper Dean, 2057 Park road. In stead of a honeymoon the bride and bridegroom returned to their respective colleges. The youthful couple slipped away with friends and were quietly married, thus extending a romance which began a year ago at White Haven, the Summer home of the Deans in the Shenanaoah Valley. The parents, although they had hoped the couple would defer the mar riage until they could complete their education, offered no objection to the match after the wedding. Mrs. Levi returned after the ceie mony to resume her studies at Drew CONFERENCE BACKS RETIREMENT PLAN i Civil Service Employes Want Fixed Age Limit of 69 or 74 Years. The Joint Conference on Retirement of Civil Service Employes will stand by the provision in the retirement law to the effect that after August, 1930, no employe shall be granted more than two 2-year extensions of service beyond the retirement age. The executive com mittee of the conference decided yes terday afternoon to oppose any move ment to allow unlimited time exten sions. According to Thomas F. Flaherty, secretary-treasurer of the National Federation of Post Office Clerks and secretary of the Joint conference on retirement, the purpose and intent of retirement legislation is defeated unless there is a fixed age limit. "The retirement law will be In operation 10 years next August and we believe the time will then be opportune to estab lish a definite age limitation.” said Mr. Flaherty. "This is conditioned upon Con gress increasing the annuity to a maxi mum of $1,2001 The majority of Civil Sendee employes covered by the act are retired at 65 years, with the privi lege of two extensions of two years each. This fixes a limitation of 69 years for those who are able to render efficient service. In the case of the 70- year group, such as department em ployes-in Washington, the extension period will mean a 74-year deadline. “There has been a disinclination on the part of many aged employes to re tire because of the meagerness of the annuity. We believe the Seventy-first Congress will correct this and conse quently it is logical that an -age limit be placed on service. This will work to the benefit of the substitutes awaiting appointment and the younger employes who are in line for promotion. Fur thermore. it will make for a more effi cient public service. For these reasons we are not in sympathy with the agita tion to disregard the retirement prin eiple to suit a few individual cases of veteran employes who may still be effi ci?nt at an advanced age. Compulsory retirement at 69 or 74 years, dependent upon the gToup in which the employe is working, is not a hardship for the majority of employes, providing the an- I nuity is increased as provided for in the pending Dale-Lehlbach bill.” Aim to Use Crude Oil.

By a SlafT Correspondent of The Btar. QUANTICO. Va., September 26. The Marines have landed again, but this time the mayor and the merchants have the situation well in hand. Assured by the military police that the town of Quantico is free of boot leggers, Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, commanding the Marine base here, yes terday afternoon lifted his ban on the little community of 300 residents and after an enforced absence of about 10 days the Marine complement of 2.000 men was free to visit the restaurants and soda fountains. Drive Brings Results. A determined drive on undesireables launched by Mayor A. E. Mclntoer and the Quantico City Council after Gen. Butler declared the town "out of bounds” had the hoped for result. The military police reported to Gen. Butler yesterday that an inspection had re vealed /nothing objectionable in the town; w'hereupon the Marine com mandant communicated to Mayor Mc- Inteer his decision to remove his re strictions. Announcement of Gen. Butler’s de cision was made formally to the troops after the regular Wednesday inspection yesterday afternoon. As soon as the companies were dismissed. Marines, with pockets jangling with coin of the realm, set out for favorite soda fountains and poolrooms and all was quiet again along the Quantico stretch of the rotomac. Bums Have Disapeaved. ‘‘We have a real town now,” Gen. Butler said. ’The bums are gone and the streets are cleaned up. Weeds have been cut. old mat treses collected from alleys and outhouses painted. There hasn't been anybody drunk around here in two weeks. We've frightened the bootleggers off.” Mavor Melnteer, who entered en thusiastically Into the action against s undesirables, was high In his praise of Gen. Butler’s co-operation. With their cash registers recording the Marine in vasion, the merchants were delighted. One result of the campaign was to send up quoted prices on bootleg whisky. In the very few quarters where whisky was said to be obtainable the asked price was reported at double what It was two weeks ago. It was said on, behalf of Gen. Butler that his Marines nad better not be among bidders. ADMIRAL BRISTOL VISITS i RUSSIA ON HIS VACATION! ■ i j Nflval Officers Amused at Reports 1 j He Is* Making Investigation | for President.
