Newton TO Continue Duties.
Waiter H. Newton, who like Mr..
AkerSon, halls from Minnesota, and
who has been one of Mr.. Hoover's Sec
retaries from the beginning Of his
administration, Is understood to have
been sounded out by the latter as to
how he felt about shifting from the
secretartal duties he Is now performing
to those that come under Mr.. Akerson.
1t Is said that Secretary Newton, whose
work has to do principally with legis-
lative matters and patronage, made it
clear that he preferred to continue In
his present capacity.
Mr.. Akerson'S resignation came Is no
suppose. It had been known for some
time that the Paramount offer had been
made and that later, negotiations were
under way. Mr.. Akerson preferred, how
ever, to not oficially confirm these re-
ports until Mr.. Hoover himself made an
announcement.
Due to their long intimate associa-
ton Mr.. Hoover feels deeply the going
of This old friend" as he expressed it
when announcing the resignation yes
terday. Although they had known
each other for some time previously,
Mr.. Akerson became officially associated
with Mr.. Hoover in 1925. Mr.. Akerson
was then Washington correspondent Of
the Minneapolis Tribune, having been
here since 1920. His first oficial con-
nection with Mr.. Hoover was as secre-
tary to the Federal Commission for the
Sva
adelphia in 1924. Mr.. Hoover was a
member Of the commission. When this
was over Mr.. Hoover, who was then
Secretary OF Commerce and who had
had an opportunity to recognize Mr..
Akerson's ability, appointed him his
special assistant in the department.
Hoover Expresses Regrets.
Mr.. Akerson served with Mr.. Hoover
throughout the remainder Of his term
as Secretary of Commerce and has been
close to his side ever since. He was
prominently identified with the precon-
vention campaign which landed the
nomination for Mr.. Hoover and was one
Of the directing heads of the 1928 cam
paign itself. Following the election Mr..
Akerson assumed the huge task Of per-
sonal contact man for the President and
it has been in that capacity that he has
served since. He accompanied the
President on his good will tour of South
America and on virtually all the trips
the President has made since becoming
President.
Therefore, the Presidents expression
Of regret at seeing his faithful assistant
and friend leave his immediate oficial
family Is easily understood. In an
nouncing the resignation Mr.. Hoover
said: mfr. Akerson is leaving the
White House service. Some one has
offered him two or three times the pay
the Government can afford, and he
has responsibilities to his family that
I cannot deny. I do greatly regret
to lose an old friend out Of my per-
sonal service"

CHICAGO, January 3.-More than

the parish house last night, asserting
their intention Of preventing the trans
fer Of their pastor, Rev. Edward
Kowaleski.
Acting on unconfirmed reports that
he was to be transferred, members Of
the crowd refused to permit visitors
and others within 100 feet Of the
grounds. Several visitors were reported
to have tried to approach the rectory,
but were advised TO keep ct . distance.
Father Kowaleslxi declined 20 discuss
the report of his transfer and said he
wanted no demonstration.
Father Kowaleski has been here 30
years" said one leader Of the crowd.
HE has huilt this church from tiny

The illness and death Of Marshal
Joffre have brought back 10 Gen. John
J. Pershing vivid memories Of his cor
dial wartime relations with the Rock
OF the Marine"
After issuing O formal expression Of
his sorrow at the loss Of his friend, the
general of the armies reflected reIni-
niscently upon the close friendship
which developed between the two under
the stress of Q world conflict.
My f1rst meeting with Marshal Jof-
fire." Gen. Pershing recalled today,
was when he came TO this country in
1917 after we had entered the war a.
part of the French mission headed by
Viviani. I had Just been assigned as
commander in chief of our forces in
Europe, and Marshal Joffre called at
the war Department to say good-by to
the Secretary Of War before returning
to France.
Friendly to Americans.
THE next time I saw him was on
June 10, 1917, when he was in q group
Of ofncials who car.e to meet me on my
arrival In Paris.
"Marshal Joffre always was very
friendly TO the Americans and anxious
to help US in every possible way in the
great task Of. forming an American
with.
II remember in the Fall Of 1917 he
came to my headquarters at Chaumont
and was my guest at review Of the
| LIST Division, during which he was
highly Mandatory Of our men. He
understood we'll the dificulties Of build
ing up a fighting unit from raw ma
terial.
Although he was retired from active
/ Of ha - L. .fsat1
as wei IS military, treated him with
| great difference and he remained an
idol of the French people. His home
life was delightful. / was fortunate to
be his guest on numerous occasions,
and found that his household was O
HAPPY and hospitable one. Madame
| Joffre always was interested deeply in
everything her husband undertook, and
she was devoted helpmate to him.
Friendly with Foch.
Zone Of my pleasant recollections is
Of an occasion when Marshal Joffre
entertained me and my whole stan at
his Military Club. There was a large
| crowd of people outside. and they
clamored so necessarily for us to show
| ourselves that the marshal led me TO
the balcony several times"
Gen. PerShing spoke of the friendship
that existed between Marshal Joffre
| and Marshal Foch. Foch had served
under Joffre while the latter was COM
| mander in chief Of the French armies
Foch later became commander in chief
Of the allied forces.
II know that Joffre and Foch were
good friends" the general said 1--WE
heard Foch speak very highly Of Mar
shall Joffre. indicative of the high re-
gard with which Joffre was held by
Foch and by the French people was the
/ fact that both marshals rode side by
side at the head of the victory parade
on July IA, 1919"
Among Gen. Pershing's treasured re-
minders of his association with Marshal
Joffre are many photographs taken Of
the two while they were together In
France He spent some time going over
these pictures while the marshal was in
| the throes of his last illness.
