SHIFTS EXTENSIVE:
IN BUTLER RETIRING
Sending of Gen. Berkeley
Temporarily to Nicaragua
Considered.

While Marine Corps officers are spec
ulating actively on the choice for the
new major general who will fill the
place vacated by the retirement of
Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler on Octo-
Der /, it was learned yesterday that
officials have under consideration the
sending of Brig. Gen. Randolph c.
Berkeley, temporarily in command of
the base at Quantico, Va, to Nicaragua
for duty. Gen. Butler was the COM
manding general at Quantlco when he
retired and Gen. Berkeley was the
commandant Of the Marine Corps
School there the next in line. He is
scheduled to leave about the middle of
November.
Should the plan to send Gen. Berke-
ley to Nicaragua be carried out, it is
considered likely that he would relieve
Brig. Gen. Frederic L. Bradman, who
is commanding the I'd Brigade Of Ma
rines at Managua. Gen. Bradman was
recently promoted from a colonelcy be-
cause of his conspicuous work in Mica
ragua in supervising anti-bandlt actiVi-
ties and for his relief measures after
the earthquake at Managua.
Appointment Considered.
President Hoover is considering the
naming of the new major general Of
the Marine Corps, which has only two
of this permanent rank. Maj. Gen. Ben
H Fuller, the commandant, who is now
on an inspection trip to the West Coast.
is major general by virtue OF his posi-
ton as head of the corps, but on the
permanent list his rank is that of
brigadier general. There has been some
talk of the likelihood of Gen. Fuller
being raised on the permanent list to
the rank of major general, but this has
been discounted.
Marine Corps gossip has it that the
new major general will likely be Brig.
Gen. John T. Myers. the assistant COM
mandant. who is acting in Gen. Fuller's
absence In this event. it is possible
that Gen Myers would be sent to COM
mand the Marine Corps post at Guam
tico Va.
Many Vacancies Created.
The retirement of Gen Butler from
the service in which he served conspicu-
ously for more than three decades
creates vacancies all along the line. and
officers close to official sources say that
the colonel to be promoted to brigadier
general is likely to be Col. James G.
Breckenridge, now commanding the Ma
rine detachment at the American lega-
ton. Peiping China.
Should Gen. Myers move out as as
sistant commandant, it is said that
Brig. Gen. Dion Williams, now~on duty
at Marine Corps headquarters here,
would stand an excellent chance of be-
coming Gen. Fuller's right-hand man.
