S7IMSON TO MEET
 HOOVER TOMORROW
Kellogg to Quit When New
 Secretary Is Sworn h

Washington. March 25.-P0 President Hoover and his new secre- tary of state will have their first meeting tomorrow with the arrival of Henry l.. Stimson after his long trip from Manila by way of San Francisco and New York. Stimson had been invited to the White House today. but after his arrival in New York he found that he would be unable to come to the capital until tomorrow afternoon.
 The chief executive and Stimson have host of subjects to discuss and in order that they may facilitate the work ahead. the new official will be a White House guest for the re- mainder of the week.
 The Root formula for American adherence to the world court. the Mexican situation. and European separations are some of the ques- tions facing Mr. Stimson. but per- haps the foremost is the reorganiza- ton Of the diplomatic corps and the selection of new high officials of the state department.
 Kellogg to Quit soon
 Frank B. Kellogg, who has re- mained in his post at the urgent re- quest of President Hoover, will be officially relieved of duty when Stimson takes the oath of office. but he will remain here until Friday on which date he sails for Europe where he will spend several weeks on a vacation tour.
 The new and retiring secretaries will meet daily 50 that MT. Stimson can be acquainted with intimate de- tails of the problems pending be- fore the department and the actions that have been taken in such cur rent affairs as the Mexican rebellion and the preparations for the pre- liminary arms conference to be held at Geneva next month.
 Hugh s. Gibson, ambassador to Belgium, and chairman of the Amer jean delegation to this conference also is White House guest and he and the new secretary thus will have opportunity for extensive con- versatlons concerning the meeting and the attitude of the United States with respect to the several proposals that will come up for consideration at Geneva.
 Repeated statements al the White House that consideration of diplo- matic appointments and American adhesion to the world court on the basis of the Root formula would await Mr. Stimsons arrival has led to the opinion in some quarters that Secretary Stimson is to have free matters.
 However, there long has been feeling among some of Mr Hoovers s friends and many political observ- CTS here that the chief executive would closely supervise the opera tions of the department, even if he did not in fact act as his own secre- tary as did Woodrow Wilson.
 Little Communication
 The president has had little op- portunity for extensive communica- ton with Stimson since selecting the former secretary of war as the chief officer in his cabinet. Stmson then was governor general of the Philippines and for several weeks he has been travelling across the Pa oific and the continent en route to the capital via San Francisco and New York 10 take over his duties.
 The chief executive and Mir. Stim- son have known each other for a long time. but the story of the ap- pointmcnt which has been going the round of official and semi-offiria ial Washington is that the governor generals name was proposed and urged by Elihu Root and Charles Evans Hughes, former secretaries ot state. and by Chief Justice Taft un- der whom as president. Mir. Stim- son served as secretary of war
