COOLIDGE DEATH STIFF BLOW TO 0,0, P, HOPES Hoover’s Chances to Retain Grip on Leadership Are Enhanced. BV RAY TUCKER Tim** Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Calvin Coolidge's death was regarded here today as a severe blow to Republican party in its effort to reform its ranks after the disastrous defeat of last November. When the shock over his unexpected passing had worn off, there was immediate discussion of his deaths effect on the G. O. P. and President Hoover’s fortunes. Although the struggle for control of party machinery has not yet reached a decisive stage, it is recognized that a definite cleavage has appeared between the friends and admirers of the former President and the Hoover faction. Had :he old guard won supremacy and Mr. Coolidge lived, it is probable they would have turned to him as their presidential candidate in 1936. Symbol of Prosperity They wanted to do so for two reasons. Despite the crash which followed soon after his exit from the White House, the politicians felt that he retained his hold on the American people as a symbol of the prosperity they once knew. If the next four years should bring financial difficulties, and higher taxes, they thought that his renomination would recall the days of tax reductions under the Cooi-idge-Mellon regime. With Mr. Coolidge tney w-ould have sought to turn back the clock, politically. Moreover, the politicians liked him because he was one of them. He knew and sympathized with their troubles, and during his rule Republican organizations swept to victory in state after state.

Hoover Made Stronger They also banked on him and the group surrounding him to close the door to the return from Palo Alto which Mr. Hoover's friends want, him to try to make. The late President was to have been a bulwark agafnst the past, a name to drown out, unpleasant memories ot the depression. Despite the general conviction that, Mr. Hoover is done with politics, it is believed the passing of his former chief leaves the President in a stronger position to retain control, if he cares to. and to try for a comeback a few years hence. The barrier of the slender, canny Vermonter, with his hold on the people and politicians, is removed. There were other roles which party strategists counted on Mr. Coolidge to play. Despite the "reverence for the President in office,” which he wrote about in a recent magazine article, they had hoped that he would keep the "Republican case” before the people during the Roosevelt administration as he did in the last campaign. Must Turn to Youth With Charles Evans Hughes on the bench, William E. Borah off the reservation, wight W. Morrow gone, and other illustrious figures in voluntary or involuntary retirement, Calvin Coolidge's was the one great Republican voice which could command a respectful hearing. His death also means another gap in the ranks of the elder statesmen. The party, it is admitted, must now turn to its younger men for leaders and candidates—to men like Treasury Secretary Ogden L. Mills, Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, Representative-Elect James W. Wadsworth Jr. of New York, and Minority Leader Bertrand Snell of New York. In the opinion of many Republican veterans, Mr. Coolidge’s passing at least points to the end of an era—their era.

He made a plea for a leadership that will not be- irrelevant shadowboxing in a world of realism.” In discussing the problems of currency and credit that will face Mr. Roosevelt as President, he declared that—"for 3,000 years, statesmanship did not have to keep financial expansion apace with economic dedevelopment.” "We now have reached a point where statesmanship must take up at the'place where the miners’ pick dropped it.” The university president pictured Mr. Roosevelt as a pilot of a boat upon a stream beset with many rapids. He said that to overcome these obstacles, Mr. Roosevelt not only must "shoot the rapids” and get the nation into calmer waters, but he must remove those rapids for the future. He insisted that to do this Mr. Roosevelt will be forced to use "emergency economies” that might not stand up as sound in other years, and he called upon all people to “use a minimum of nagging” against any leadership dealing with these problems. “We Americans.” he said, “can not beat our way back to prosperity by use of political policies in vogue prior to the depression.” SUPPORT SHORT WEEK Thirty-Three Hosiery Manufacturers Bark Black Bill.

DEMOCRATS SEE TAX BOOST AS ‘LASTHESORT’ Increases to Be Made Only If Beer Bill Fails to Pass. B>l I nitrit Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.—Speaker John N. Garner announced today that definite action on the proposed tax increases on smaller incomes discussed with President - Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt in New York Thursday night probably would be held in abeyance until the senate has acted on the Collier 3.2 beer bill. A special session of congress after March 4 is inevitable unless prohibition repeal, the beer bill, and farm relief legislation are enacted this session, House Majority Leader Henry T. Rainey said on his return from the New York conference. All three of these legislative items are major portions of the Democratic program agreed upon Thursday night. Rainey said he was expressing his “personal opinion,” and emphasized that it did not represent any sort of agreement, formal or informal, at the conference. He also believed that broadening the income tax base as a means of raising additional revenue would net be resorted to, except in the last emergency. Such broadening was part of the budget balancing program agreed on at the New York conference, Rainey pointed out that if beer and gasoline taxes are passed as well as extensive economies mads in the government establishment L might be tmnecessary to resort to boosting income taxes. “After all,” he said, “that would leave a deficit of only around $150,000.000 without increased taxes. Rainey said he had little hope of President Hoover signing either the beer bill or the domestic allotment plan of farm relief now pending in the house. Bu T'nited Press NEW YORK.
