OWEN YOUNG TO BE STAR IN NEW CABINET Empire State Man to Get Any Post He Wishes, Is Advance ‘Dope.’ WOOLLEN CONSIDERED Indianapolis Banker May Be Selected as Secretary of Commerce. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Pre Staff Correspondent • Copyright, 1832. by United Press! NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—PresidentElect Franklin D. Roosevelt has a hatful of prominent names from which to select a cabinet, but he will proceed slowly and cautiously, as the country demands tried and experienced men, well informed on current problems. The President-elect may not announce his cabinet until the eve of inauguration, save for secretary of state and secretary of treasury, whom he may designate earlier to assure this country and foreign nations that these important posts will be satisfactorily filled. Though Mr. Roosevelt has had the aid of many Republicans of the progressive and Independent stamp in his campaign, he is expected to select a strictly Democratic cabinet. He will reward the Republicans in other ways. From All Sections Mr. Roosevelt’s cabinet will be a representative one in that it will draw from all sections of the country. The professional “cabinet makers” are picking many New Yorkers, but the United Press was informed there probably will be only one New Yorker in the official family, or two at the outside. One Indiana man, Evans Woollen, is mentioned, for secretary of commerce. Owen D. Young, the United Press learned, can have the pick of any position. He is expected to be the bright star of the Roosevelt administration. If he shows a disinclination to leave his business connections, he will be “drafted” for secretary of state or secretary of treasury. Baruch, Davis Mentioned Bernard M. Baruch might go to Washington as governor of the federal reserve board. John W. Davis is spoken of as possible ambassador to Great Britain. He held this position once before. Mentioned for secretary of state are Norman Davis, now abroad on a disarmament mission for President Hoover, and Newton D. Baker, secretary of war in the Wilson administration. Others discussed for secretary of treasury include Senator Carter Glass <Va.), who held the post in the Wilson administration, and Melvin A. Traylor, Chicago banker. Prospects for attorney-general include Governor Ritchie of Maryland, Senator Thomas J. Walsh (Mont.), and Felix Frankfurter, Harvard law professor. Byrd Is in Line Former Governor Harry F. Byrd, Virginia, is discussed for secretary of navy or secretary of agriculture. Others considered for the navy portfolio are Senator John Cohen and Senator Claude A. Swanson. Henry C. Wallace Jr., lowa farm editor, is considered as head of the agriculture department, as is R. W. Morrison of Texas. For the war department portfolio several have been mentioned, including Baker, James P. Kennedy, Boston, one of the first Roosevelt-for-President men; former Governor James M. Cox, Ohio, the 1920 Democratic presidential candidate, and Frank C. Walker, Montana. Senator Walsh and Governor George H. Dern (Utah), are among prospects for secretary of interior, a post which will go to a western man. Roosevelt is said to have his eye upon a man orominently identified with labor organizations as secretary of labor. William Green, president of the American Federation, has been mentioned. Has Kitchen Cabinet, Too fi.n Scripps-Hotcard Xcicspapcr Allirr+ce WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—A* though their number may be in creased after he takes up his duties here, the men mentioned as behindthe scenes advisors to Franklin D. Roosevelt are national chairman James A. Farley. Colonel E. M. House of Texas, Louis McHenry Howe of Albany, Bernard M. Baruch of New York and Senator Gedrge W. Norris of Nebraska. Howe has been associated with Roosevelt the longest. He was Albany correspondent for the old New York Herald when Roosevelt first went to the senate, and the two became fast friends. A slim, salEqually as mysterious a figure ip the Roosevelt entourage has been Colonel House. Early and late he has labored for the young man he came to know and like when the two fought for Woodrow Wilson’s nomination at Baltimore. Farley has become a national figure as a result of his association with Roosevelt during the last few years. It was the big, booming, energetic, and good-natured chairman of the New York boxing commission who collected Roosevelt delegates before the convention and marshaled them at Chicago. Politicians credit him with running one of the cleverest presidential campaigns since Mark Hanna’s day. “Barney” Baruch, as his friends call him. is a familiar figure at Washington. A co-laborer with House as member of the allies’ central purchasing board in this country, chairman of the war industries board, and an advisor at the peace conference, he has also given financial advice to Republican Presidents. "Uncle George" Norris headed the march of progressives to Roosevelt’s camp, as he supported /V. Smith four years ago. During the summer. Norris acted as a missionary for the President-elect, and eventually won over almost all the Insurgents.

SERENn, LOVELY, AND GRACIOUS

Home Folks Hold to Old Love for Grace Coolidge

Six wives of Presidents still are livinv in America. Where are the present homes of these First Ladies of the Land? What ere their activities? What is their social life? Who are their friends and neighbors? How do they view the contemvorarv world, and what are their recollections of the White House? In a scries of six articles the sixth of "hich follows William Engle, a WorldTele -it m staff writer, has answered there cvest : ons. Today he writes of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. BY WILLIAM ENGLE Times Staff Writer (Copyright. 1932. bv the New York WorldTelegram Corporation) NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Nov. 10.—Calvin Coolidge, back from summering in the Vermont homestead, was sitting today in his time-worn second-floor office over the Puritan clothing store in Main street.—" Coolidge & Hemenway. Walk In.”—and Grace Coolidge was getting things dusted off in their new home, “The Beeches.” a fine, long cry from the little half-house Jn storied Massasoit street. First citizens of the town, though they live now more quietly than any others in the valley below Mt. Tom, their return made a little stir from the Academy of Music to the Clapp & Clapp market. “I mind,” said James Lucey, cobbler emiritus of the Berkshires and their friend, “the time that maybe I had a bit to do in matching them up. Yes, it has a bearing on the present “Mr. Cewlidge came into my shop one day looking kind of glum, and I knew what was the matter. He was going up to the Hill then and, I thought, without much success. So I said to him; “ ‘Well, Mr. Cewlidge, how’s things on the Hill?’ ‘“Not so good, Mr. Lucey,’ he said. ‘Not so good.’ nun “ ‘"VTOW, I’ll advise you,’ I said. la| Next time you go up don’t talk law to her or how you’re going to get the school board nomination. Just sit up close to her and tell her her shoes look pretty. Then her her dress looks pretty. “Then tell her her dress looks pretty. Then look into her face and say, “Grace Goodhue, you are beautiful. Lucky the man who wins you for a wife.” “ ‘Wait a minute before you say, “And I wish that I were he.” Mr. Lucfey’s elderly blue eyes were beginning to sparkle, with the old time alive in them again. “Well, he went out. Didn’t say anything. The next time he came in I put it to him again: “ ‘Mr. Cewlidge, how’s things on the Hill?’ “ ‘Much better, Mr. Lucey,’ he said. ‘Very much better.’ ” The point is, said Mr. Lucey, that he wanted Mr. Coolidge, his friend to make a good catch, and Grace Goodhue was the best on the hill, where she was teaching school. / An additional point, he said, is that today, as Mrs. Coolidge, back from the White House, she is just as lovely a person, just as gracious, just as wise and kind and unpretentious. Since she came back from the White House unaltered, they said today along Paradise road and South street they are not surprised that the Beeches is working no change in her either. Yet that is an estate so comely —assessed to “Calvin and Grace Coolidge”—that their tax on it this fall was $1,135. But quite as of old, Mrs. Coolidge rides out of a morning with her friend, Mrs. Rubin S. Hills of Havenville, in Mrs. Hills’ La Salle; Mr. Coolidge and Johnny, the chauffeur, have the Coolidge Lincoln. * u OUITE as of old, Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Hills drop in at Wells’ grocery or Filene’s shop in Main street. They swing up around Childs park and Round Hill road. They wave to friends they have known since Mrs. Coolidge was a girl and Mr. Coolidge no more than a mayor. Sometimes, though rarely, they go to the Calvin motion picture house. But not Mr. Coolidge. The pleasant, unassuming townswoman who used to be first lady, though, seems not to get around the city—it is up to 24.000 now—as much as she used to. Since the White House tenancy ended, and particularly since they have gone to the Beeches, the Coolidge social life has been restricted to communion with only a few intimate friends. These—notably the Hills and Judge Henry P. Field, in whose office Mr. Coolidge studied lawhave a standing invitation just “to drop in ” Even m the infrequent moments when Mrs. Coolidge is engaged socially, without Mr. Coolidge, his personality sometimes bridges the distance. He called her up at a party one night, and this was said at his end of the telephone: “Hello, Grace?” “This is Cal. Hop home.” She does not mind this, they said in Northampton today. She so thoroughly knows the hardbitten New Englander, sees back of laconic words and brusque manner such integrity of purpose, that their quiet life is rich in satisfaction. They are a study in opposites who get along. “ \ MODEST place with a litxY tie land,” Mr. Coolidge said of “The Beeches,” when he bought the house built by Dr. Henry Noble MacCracken, now president of Vassar college. But that was understatement. Half hidden by great beech trees, a mile from the Massasoit street duplex, where they left Dr. F. W. Plummer, their old neighbor behind, “The Beeches” stands far back from the street, approaching by a wide driveway that curves up past the front door. The gates swinging from stone pillars were open today; the stir of return was around the house. Sixteen rooms, gray-shingled and rambling, it stands alone on an eminence that Ipoks down on

Rumor Again Is Leading Chaplin Toward Altar

(Continued from Page One) they are wondering in Hollywood if she might not be the woman who will be able to bring lasting marital happiness to Chaplin. a u ■pAULETTE GODDARD was born in Great Neck, L. 1., on June 3, 1911, an only child of poor, hard-working parents. Her father, the late J. R. Goddard, was a civil engineer in Great Neck, where Paulette spent her childhood and received her only education in the public schools. Mr. Goddard died when his daughter was 15, leaving practically nothing. That meant that the young girl had to do something to support herself and her mother. The stage beckoned, and that fall she got a job as one of Florenz Ziegfeld’s glorified chorus girls in “Rio Rita.” The following year she went into “The Conquering Male,” closing her stage career with that show. A week or two later, she met Edward James, president of the Southern States Lumber Company of North Carolina. The meeting took place in the home of her uncle, Charles Goddard, late president of the American Druggists’ Association. “Our courtship was one of those whirlwind affairs which wound up with an elopement,” Paulette told me. “We were married in Rye, N. Y„ at 4 o’clock in the morning after routing the license clerk and a minister out of bed. u u “ r T'HE marriage didn’t work out X very well though, and because I was under age at the time we considered having it annulled. However, I continued living with Edward until after I became of age, which meant that a divorce would be necessary. “He suggested an extended trip to Europe, probably thinking that such a journey would bring us closer together. We were gone nearly a year and a half, but the benefits from a marital standpoint were only temporary. “Our chief trouble was having nothing in common. For two years before going to Europe we spent most of our time at Edward’s country estate in Massachusetts. He loved sports of all kinds, particularly fox hunting. I didn't care for those things, but there was nothing lor me to do

that came after the White House. “The same household helper is at work in the kitchen who has cooked for the family for fifteen years. “Along about 10 o’clock a friend who lives up the street drives up in her sedan and stops for me. We are familiar figures in the shopping district in the late forenoons, and we have resumed our customary marketing expeditions. “We go and come as in the days before we went to live in Washington and are again just neighbors in a small New England city. “He goes each morning to the office in which he practiced law when I first knew him.” When she finished that she added: I have written it literally between stitches, for I have sat often with my sewing up in my lap at my writing table. “I am conscious of many rough edges sticking out in the writing,

except play golf, swim, hunt and attend social affairs. “I Was bored to death, and when I saw upon our return from Europe that I was faced with the prospect of resuming this sort of life, we decided to call it quits.” Pauiette obtained her divorce from Edward in Reno last May and is reported to have received a cash property settlement of $375,000. Incidentally, during her residence in Nevada’s divorce capital, she became known as the platinum blond of Reno. It was while waiting for her divorce that Paulette made her first visit to Hollywood. Finding time heavy on her hands, she chartered an airplane and with a friend flew here to spend the evening dancing at the Cocoanut Grove, rendezvous of the movie stars. Then she went back to Reno. As soon as her divorce was granted Paulette went to Arizona and spent a month at a dude ranch. Then she came back to Hollywood. 'T'HE attractive blond had been here only a short time when an actors’ agent met her at a party at Malibu, famous movie beach colony. He saw her movie possibilities and a few days later obtained a contract for her at the Hal Roach studio. Harry Langdon was numbered among her first acquaintances here. But she went out with him only a few times when Chaplin came into the picture. They met at a party during the latter part of July. After that Paulette had eyes for nobody else. She and Charlie were seen together almost continually, after that meeting. If Paulette really becomes the third Mrs. Charles Spencer Chaplin, she is the first one to be independently wealthy in her own name, although even her fortune doesn’t match her ideas. Among her present possessions are two diamond bracelets valued at $85,000 each and three expensive automobiles—a Rolls-Royce and two other imported cars. . ‘T have every intention of continuing my film career,” she declares. '‘And I think Charlie will be of invaluable assistance to me. In my opinion he is the greatest actor in the world.” Next—Charlie Chaplin's first marital ventu^

but they are carefully tucked under in the sewing.” Outside, the rolling lawn, with sty-übbery, trout brook, and a pond stretches away over eight acres; there are more than 800 trees on it, eighty of them are beeches. n n a MRS. COOLIDGE seems content to confine her interests within these boundaries. The social groups that might be expected to win over her enthusiasm have to go without it. The Altrurian Club—concerning itself this year with such matters as "The Good Earth” and “English History”—will hear no paper by her; the League of Women Voters —devoted this year to “International Relations” and “The Real Emily Dickinson”—does not list her on its programs in capitals as a member. She gets out to church, though, going down the hill with Mr. Coolidge to the ivy-covered Jonathan Edwards Congregational in Main street, named for the Jonathan who came to town in 1726, when it still was the settlement of Nonotuck, and scalping not yet outmoded. She voted, too, with Mr. Coolidge, in the South street schoolhouse not far from their home, and her vote this year was valued in Northampton, for there are peculiar undercurrents. Two doors below Mr. Coolidge’s office there is a Socialist headquarters, and these iconoclasts are gaining a foothold. blood is back of it, they say; striplings are coming out of college with Utopian theories inimical to what solid citizens call "the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.” Though the commonwealth has little to fear, they add; there she stands. But politics has only a little corner in Mrs. Coolidge's mind. All summer, and until this week, she has been beyond reach of the season’s turbulence, secluded in the Plymouth farm house, which even yet, although it submitted to an addition this year, has no telephone. n u BETTER than a campaign speech, she likes to watch Mr. Coolidge stand beneath their painting of the Green Mountain farm, listen to his clipped, down east talk of the harsh milieu of his boyhood. * “See that stream? Used to fish there with a bent pin. . . See those hills? Snow stays on ’em pretty late in the spring.” Uneventful days are these, and Mrs. Coolidge is glad of it. “After all, I spent only eight years in Washington,” she once explained. “By far the most of my life has been spent here in Northampton. It is impossible for an adult person to change character in so short a time as eight years.” Sightseers drive by a good deal, as they used to in Massasoit street, where the corner sign read: “To the home of Calvin Coolidge.” The Coolidges do not appear to be annoyed. ‘ They seem to get so much enjoyment out of it,” Mr. Coolidge has said, “I don’t mind any more.” As for Mrs. Coolidge, no creature as harmless as a sightseer can disturb her composure; to tell the truth, she is as gregarious, as gay, as in the day when she taught on the Hill. Mr. Lucey, poet as well as philosopher, got up from his bench today in the Gothic street shop across from the courthouse and ventured a characterization. “Her ways,” said he, “would your heart beguile.” THE END,,

HOOVER’S AID PROMISED TO STEADY SHIP Change of Administrations to Be Made With Least Possible Upheaval. STIMSON OFFERS HELP Roosevelt Expected to Be Consulted on New Foreign Policies. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Pres* Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1932. by United Pressi NEW YORK. Nov. 10.—President Hoover and President-Elect Roosevent have pledged their intentions to co-operate in an endeavor to accomplish a change of administrations with the least possible economic disturbance. The patriotic good sense of both men is sufficient guarantee of this. But in addition they directly have indicated a desire to co-operate during the difficult transition. In his message of congratulation to Governor Roosevelt, Mr. Hoover promised “every possible helpful effort.” Governor Roosevelt replied that he joined in expression of a common purpose in helpful effort to the country. Secretary of State Stimson sent word he would be glad to do everything possible to assist the incoming administration. President of All People Furthermore, in an address to the nation Wednesday night, James A. Farley, Mr. Roosevelt’s campaign manager, said, “I think I am safe in the assertion that no political overturn in our history has left so small a heritage of bitterness. “Our new President can not be partisan in his conduct of national affairs; first, because his sense of duty will not permit it; and, second, because he must realize that he is President of all the people, and not merely the President of the Democrats.” These exchanges were more than the usual perfunctory telegrams of congratulations and thanks. They were the friendly moves of men upon W'hom great responsibility rests in an effort to bridge the gap which recently existed—the state of mind which caused Mr. Hoover to warn the country that grass would grow in the streets if Democratic policies prevailed. Comes at Different Time The change of administration comes at a different time. The ticklish debt question is expected to come up immediately. A world economic conference is scheduled to be held this winter. The fate of countless banks and business enterprises is dependent upon continuation of Reconstruction Finance Corporation aid until an upturn comes to the rescue. These and a dozen other equally delicate questions—the policy toward Manchuria, and disarmament, for instance—require the most skillful changing of skippers. There is reason to believe Governor Roosevelt is thoroughly aware of the situation and will take proper measures to inform himself fully and to organize his administration and his program with greatest care before actually taking the helm. Otherwise, the sudden break would involve serious risks. Resignation Talk Scouted It is the necessity of careful preparation which, if there were no other reason, would militate against the suggested plan of an early resignation by Mr. Hoover and VicePresident Curtis and the appointment of Roosevelt as secretary of state so that he automatically might become President before March 4. Close friends of Mr. Hoover are reported to ridicule the plan. Roosevelt is not expected to finally close his cabinet list until late in February. It is possible that Governor Roosevelt will be consulted henceforth before any important state department decisions are made. That would not be necessary, but it would be a considerate and the far-sighted course to pursue. It can be taken for granted that Governor Roosevelt contemplates no sudden upheavals which will send shivers of fear through the business community. He may be expected to proceed with his program in a deliberate Way, reminiscent of the relentless method of Wilson. It is expected to be firm, but it will be the firmness of a resolute skipper in a rough sea, not the blind ruthlessness of a man with a meat ax. ORDER CASTOR OIL, THEN LOOT DRUGGIST Two Bandits Get $l6O From Safe of Pharmacy. After ordering castor oil, two bandits late Wednesday night herded two clerks and a customer into the rear room of a pharmacy at Twenty-second and Talbot streets, forcing George Sintz, owner, to open a safe from w’hich they took $l6O and escaped, police were told. While Sintz opened the vault, the bandits brandished revolvers at Joe Shaughnessy, 2216 North Talbot street, the clerk, and C. E. Hutson. North Rural, street, customer. Held up Wednesday night by two Negro "fares” at Twenty-seventh street and Northwestern avenue, George Bailey, 32, of 719 Worth street, cab driver, was robbed of $3.20, he reported to police. VOTE FIGHTS GO ON Election May Be Over, but Arguments Still Cause Trouble. The election is over, but tly political arguments linger. Wilbur Shingler, 38, of 1861 Brookside avenue, approached three police officers Wednesday night in the 200 block South Illinois street, exhibited a wound on his head and said it waa received during a political argument at Ulinoii and Maryland streets with a man he did not toow * ...,
