Mr. Coolidge's Week

P:The President delivered his first message to Congress on the State of the Union and was heard by radio telephony by a "million" people.

P:The President delivered by radio a tribute to President Harding, likening the kindly spirit of the late President to the great virtue of Abon Ben Adam who loved his fellow men, and concluding: "We may well consider by what means we can show our appreciation and by what method we can best enshrine his memory."

P:The President and Mrs. Coolidge gave their first official entertainment-- "the Cabinet dinner." There were 50 guests, including all members of the Cabinet and their wives, excepting Mrs. Daugherty and Mrs. Davis. Secretary Mellon was accompanied by his daughter Ailsa. In addition there were present Senator Cummins, Senator Lodge, Senator and Mrs. Warren, Senator and Mrs. Borah, Senator Curtis, Senator and Mrs. Wadsworth, Senator David I. Walsh, Representative and Mrs. Madden, Representative and Mrs. Longworth, Representative and Mrs. Frothingham, Governor and Mrs. Cox of Massachusetts, Ambassador-Designate to Great Britain and Mrs. Kellogg, Secretary Slemp.

P:Ambassador Jusserand called at the White House accompanied by Senator Paul Dupuy of France (owner of Le Petit Parisien and close friend of Premier Poincare) for an informal discussion of Franco-American relations. Afterwards, M. Jusserand was asked by reporters what M. Dupuy had had to say. The Ambassador, who like the French Senator is a newspaper man, replied with a French proverb: "Les loups ne se mangent pas entre eux" (literally, "The wolves do not eat themselves among one another").

P:Secretary Slemp announced that hereafter on Tuesdays and Fridays (Cabinet meeting days) the President will receive no callers, do no handshaking.
