The President's Week

P:A delegation of New Yorkers called on President Coolidge to ask him to speak at memorial services in Manhattan on Nov. 2, President Harding's birthday. Mr. Coolidge replied in effect: "Gentlemen, I won't say ' Yes ' or ' No.' You shall decide for me. Shall I honor President Harding by remaining in Washington and carrying on his work, or shall I speak in Manhattan?" "Stay on the job!" answered the committee.

ܝt was announced that President Coolidge favored opening all Federal hospitals to ill service men, regardless of whether their diseases were contracted in the service. This plan is not now legal. It is probable that the President may appeal to Congress for a change in the law. If he decides to oppose a soldier bonus, he may present this as a substitute program.

P: The Harding Memorial Association will soon be incorporated in Ohio. The form of the memorial is still undetermined, but the incorporators will include Calvin Coolidge members of the Cabinet, Brigadier General Sawyer, Governor Crissinger of the Federal Reserve Board.

P:Laddie Buck of Atlanta, Ga., a relative of Laddie Boy, arrived at Washington and joined Peter Pan of Boston at the White House kennels.

P:President Coolidge accepted the Presidency of the Sulgrave Institution, an office held by previous Presidents of the U. S. The Institution is an international fellowship for promoting friendship between the American and British peoples. In 1914 it bought Sulgrave Manor, the former home of the Washington family, for about $40,000. Sulgrave Manor is in Northamptonshire, close to the Oxfordshire border, about 70 miles northwest of London.
