EDGE May Be
AMBASSADOR
Senior New Jersey Senator
Speaks Language And
Knows People
BY JAMES l.. WEST
Associated Press Staff Writer


WASHINGTON, May 2.-tP1-
Diplomatic Washington seems to be
convinced that Sen. Walter T. Edge
OF New Jersey. Is the most likely
choice for appointment as ambas-
sador to France to succeed the late
Myron T. Herrick. A similar opin-
ion is entertained on Capitol Hill,
particularly among the close
friends Of the senator.
Authentic information now Is
that Pres. Hoover has no intention
Of making a selection for some
months, or until after the extra
session Of congress. This Is re-
garded as lending further color TO
the reports the senior senator from
New Jersey will go to Paris.
Naturally Sen. Edge Is maintain
ing silence. and IL is known he
already is laying his plans and
strengthening his organization for
the senatorial primary contest next
June when the republicans of his
state will nominate a candidate for
his seat.
Friends Of Senator Edge who are
urging him for the Paris ambas-
sadorship hold that he would fit
well into the picture. Most Of the
questions between this country and
France are economic, such as the
tariff and war debts. to which ne
has given study as a member OF
the senate finance committee.
He was in business in Paris for
fifteen years before his election to
the senate. spending several months
of each year there. He speaks the
language fluently and since sever
ing his connections with his old
firm. he often has revisited the
French capital.

Marberry is badly in need of a rest.
He has not fully recovered his strength
since he suffered with tonsilitis last
month. With a week lay-off he prob
ably could round into good physical

Nowadays the Nationals are doing

After yieldingtw two more hits and
throwing two wide ones to the
fourth Tiger up in the seventh
round, Thomas was relieved by
Fred Marberry. The Big Texan
had a troublesome time in his
first inning, but was not found for
any hits until after two we're out

the fray.
Sam Rice starred afeld and on the
