During this period the 73-year-old
ViCe-President never has lacked for
something to do, and now as he
passes from the public stage he does
not intend to go into retirement
Mr.. Curtis intends to carry on as
theoretically as ever.
Five Different Offers
Il am considering five different
offers" he said today, and I shall
make up my mind soon as to which
one I shall accept. They are all at
tractive, so that I shall not lack for
something to do
Most men who have spent any
time in the Washington limelight
find it difficult to leave the Capital,
its attractive surroundings and its
congenial society.
' But the Vice President indicates
that his retirement is not causing
him any headaches, nor is he plan
ming to grieye over the good old
days"
Il never shall be lonesome" he
said. Il intend to be happy
wherever I am. always have made
it a practice never to become SO
welded to anything that I can not
give it up. Changes are always
coming"
Returning to Topeka
Curtis will not remain in Wash
ington as a lame duck" He is
preparing to return to Topeka as
soon as possible after the Inaugural
ton of his successor, Speaker John
N. Garner.
Curtis has enjoyed his role as
Vice President, but his friends be-
Ieve he was happier as senator,
directly participating in legislation.
Had he not been drafted by the
Kansas City convention in 1928 as
Hoover's running mate, Curtis would
have been concluding his third term
as senator.
Now as he looks back over 1892,
Curtis is understood to believe that
he as a senate candidate from his
home state, might have survived the
Democratic landslide which retired
such veteran associates as Senator
Reed SmCot of Utah, James E.
Watson of Indiana, George H. Moses
of New Hampshire and the late
Senator Wesley L. Jones of Wash
ington.

Police Wednesday pushed their way
into the heavily wooded and fog
wrapped deep hole section Of Cape
Cod in a search for some clew to the
kidnapers Of l0-year-old Margaret

school room Tuesday.
Her father, Neil c. McMath, in a
hurriedly called press conference
Wednesday, announced that he "can
and will" raise any reasonable sum
demanded by the kidnapers for the
return Of his daughter.
Police continued to observe a truce
to keep the McMath estate clear of
any obstacles to the kidnapers or any
attempt on their part to make con-
tact with the child's parents.
McMath said he was willing to meet
the kidnapers at any place they
might designate, that he would go
alone and would not inform police OF
any such engagement. He imposed
only one condition. That was, that
the child must be turned over to him
when he pays the money.
He did not say that he had receiv-
ed any demand or that he had any
contact. direct or indirect, with the
kidnapers.

The child was spirited way in an
automobile by Negro wearing the
uniform of a chauffeur. The school
authorities had previously been in
structed to excuse the child in tele-
phone call, ostensibly from her father.
