Martin Willing TO Stay
As 6. 0. P. Chairman,
Capital Hears
SoIoried Assistunt
Expected to Be Hired
At $40, 900 q Yeur

House Minority Leader Martin has
agreed to stay on as chairman of the
Republican National Committee, it
was learned authoritatively last
night. with a salaried assistant to
help in organization work.
The Massachusetts Representative
and Wendell L. Willkie conferred at
length last night and Mr.. Martin
was reported to have given assur-
anceS not only that he would remain
as chairman, but also that the ques-
ton of foreign policy would not
come up at the committees meeting
here March "a
Some Republican leaders had ex-
pressed concern that a fight might
develop between factions differing
over foreign policy, but Mr.. Martin
was said to have told Mr.. Willkie
that only organization problems
would be discussed at the meeting.
Headed by Mr.. Willkie, leaders of
all party factions have urged that
Mr.. Martin continue in the chair
manship despite his avowed desire
TO resign because of the press of his
duties as House minority leader.
Mr.. Martin said yesterday that his
resignation would be presented to
the committee meeting. but he
would not discuss the situation
further.
In his position as national chair
man. Mr.. Martin could name a paid
party manager at any time. He was
said to believe, however, that anv
such action should be indorsed by
the national committee.
Recently Senator Taft. Republi-
can, of Ohio and other party leaders
have favored the idea of a salaried
manager. The consensus has been
that a salary of $4,000 to $4,000
annually should be paid and that
the man selected should concern
himself with grass roots" organiza-
ton rather than with party policy.
Mr.. Martin receives no salary as
party chairman, declining one be-
cause he is member of the House.

ton, received $4,000 a year
