WILSON United Pjess Correspondent Washington (U.R) To put It perhaps too bluntly, why would a man quit a job with an assured annual income of S46, 545.84 and the privileges of re tiring on full pay in a few years? And if this fortunate per son's present job was rated by many of his colleagues as the most de sirable in the whole world, tyle C. Wilson wouldn't that be another reason why he might wanf'to keep it? AndQf this individual already had announced publicly that he would not change jobs for any thing on earth, would not the whole circumstances of the case suggest that he would keep it, come what may? The man, of course, is the chief justice of the United States, Earl Warren. These ponderings are prompted by the current re port in a well-edited national magazine that Mr. Warren can be had, Newsweek put it like this: "Chief Justice Earl Warren will run if pressed that's the. definite impression brought awajr from Warren's chambers by recent visitors including at lrst one who is anti-Warren and had predicted he would not run." Might Issue Statement Maybe soBut the .last United Q Press operative who talked to Mr. Warren quite recently, too got it the other way around. The chief justice said with considerable vigor that he would not return to politics as Republican presidential' nom inee or anything else. He added that he thought he might have to issue another public state ment saying just that if the War ren boom failed to subside. The chief justice deflated a boom some months ago when polls showed him far and away the Republican and independent voters' favorite if President Ei senhower did not run. Mr. Ei senhower's illness inflated the boom all over again, and Mr. Warren has been trying to punc ture it . by authorizing friends to utter his denials. More Than Money Involved There is much more, of course, than money involved in any de cision' Mr. Warren might make. Money might not influence him at all, in fact. But it is true that the young man who began his political career back there in 1919 as clerk to a California legislative committee is coming only now to know what it means to be secure and financially in- i dependent. Mr. Warren drew $25,000 a year and fringe benefits during his 10 years as governor of Cali fornia just prior to joining the court. But he had three daugh ters and any father of daughters can figure that out. Limousine and Chauffer He draws $35,000 a year as chief justice plus California pen sion which totes up to $11,545.84 a year. The United States tosses in a limousine and chauffeur, and there's $5,000 for life for Mrs. Warren if the chief justice dies in office. After 10 years on the bench that would be in 1963 Mr. Warren could retire at full pay. All of that is a lot to give up for a return to politics, especial ly when many a lawyer can and does truthfully say that most members of the legal profession would rather be chief justice than president. Moreover, there is the question whether it is ethical for a political party to borrow a candidate from the high court. Charles Evans Hughes left the court for the 1916 Republican . presidential nomination and later was re turned to the high bench with promotion to chief justice by President Hoover. Not Good Precedent So there would be precedent for Mr. Warren, but not neces sarily good precedent. All of these factors shrink in importance, however, beside the point which Mr. Warren makes to clinch his statement that he will not be a substitute for Mr. Eisenhower. It is that he knows the dispute about segregation desegregation would instantly become a terrifically personal is sue if he were to return to politics. It does seem as of now that Mr. Warren means it when he he says he will not run. But, of course, men have changed their minds. Mr. Warren is 64 years old. . .

Gordon, who was born in Worth County, Iowa, on Dec. 3, 1848, said diet was the main rea son for his long life. He said he drinks a quart of warm water before each of his two meals a day and nothing while he eats "not even a glass of milk." "This washes rriy digestive ma chinery clean," he said, "and when the food comes into a clean receptacle it is digested quickly, easily and perfectly." Gordon, a law and medical school graduate who is active as a notary public, has been a bachelor all his life. He calls marriage a "lottery" and "I'm not a gambler."

House Investigates Navy 'Consultants' Washington (U.R) The case of a woman who was paid $25 a day by the Navy to "organize" Navy wives came under scrutiny of House investigators Saturday. She is Mrs. Mary P. Paolozzi, national president of the Navy Wives of America. She was list ed among hundreds of other consultants the Navy has carried on its payroll since 1953. "The Navy told the House gov ernment operations committee Mrs. Paolozzi was hired for "full time employment as a consultant to visit naval installations on the east coast and promote the growth of Navy wives clubs cur rently functioning and to stim ulate the organization of clubs in those areas where none exist at present." The case came to light as the committee pressed a new in vestigation of the administra tion's use of dollar-a-year men (WOCS) and special consultants. Mrs. Paolozzi was hired as a $10-a-day WAE (when actually employed) in 1954 and later was raised to $25 a day. She collect ed $870 in pay, plus $262 in expenses. The committee, headed by Rep. William L. Dawson (D-Ill.) has asked federal agencies for a list of all WAE's and WOC's employed since January 1953. It also has asked for a list of all industry advisory committees and an explanation of their func tions, together with special pub lic relations and management consultants.
