NEWMAN WON'T
RUN, SAY FRIENDS
Question of Successor to CON-
missioner w. GWynn Gardi-
ner Still in Air.

Speculation over the successor to
W. Gwynn Gardiner, whose term Of
office as a member of the Board Of
Commissioners OF the District eX-
pired Sunday, was the uppermost sub
ject OF local gossip in Administration
quarters today. The discussion re-
volved about his reticence and the
possibility of Major Oliver Newman
being again selected in view of the
fact that he relinquished the office to
enter the service soon after this
country went into the war.
Close friends of Major Newman are
authority for the statement that he
is not even in a receptive frame OF
mind and is in no sense a candidate
for the office, although he has the
explicit confidence of President Will
son. They say that he has other
plans for the future.
Newman Net Considered.
Intimations at the White House
were that Major Newman had not
been considered for the office. His
friends there indicated that in the
event that he again desired public
office the President would doubtless
place him somewhere in the Ma
tional Government.
However, there was no hint that
he would be taken care of in that
way for any reason that his admin
istration OF the District affairs had
not been satisfactory.
1t is an open secret that Commits
sioner Gardiner has delayed anything
like a definite announcement on the
subject for the sole reason that the
uncertainty Of Major Newman's status
left him rather in an embarrassing
position in that he felt that logically
"a returning soldier should have his
job back"
Doesn't Want Job.
Now that il is virtually established
that Major Newman does not want
his 'job back" a new complexion is
given the situation and Commissioner
Gardiner is practically free to assert
himself. In Difference 10 Major New
man, he has adroitly refrained from
any discussion or comment aside from
declaring that his extensive law
practice. which he abandoned to as
sumo public office. really demands
his attention.
Commissioner Gardiner will hold
office under the law until his success
sor has been nominated, confirmed
and qualified, so there is not neces-
sarily any urgency in the situation.
Nevertheless, it is believed that the
President will take up the matter al
his earliest convenience. In this
connection Commissioner Gardiner
may be summoned to the White House
or may seek a conference with the
President on his own volition.
lnasmuch as the field has been
cleared by the supposed elimination
OF Major Newman from consideration
II Is possible that a crop OF candi-
dates to succeed Mr.. Gardiner may
spring up within the next few days,
as his policies, particularly his
ayowed aversion to District suffrage.
do not meet with universal approval
among the citizens. Thus far, how
ever, any opposition has been latent
rather than active.
