Mr. Coolidge's Week

P: Alanson B. Houghton, Ambassador to the Court of St. James's (who had not yet assumed his post) and ex-Ambassador to Germany, conferred with President and Secretary Kellogg at the White House before entering on a brief vacation that will precede his going to London.

P: The new Ambassador from Germany, Baron Ago von Maltzan, presented his credentials to Mr. Coolidge, who replied:

"We have had a long history as a Republic and we hope that you may profit by a study of our experience of a century and a half of democratic government."

P: The President said to the Senate, which had just rejected the nomination of Charles B. Warren of Michigan to be Attorney General, that he nominated Charles B. Warren of Michigan to be Attorney General (see Page 2).

P: The First Congregational Church, attended by Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge, announced its intention of razing its present edifice and erecting another-- probably a ten-story office building and church combined.

P: Twenty Sioux Indians headed by three chiefs clasped President Coolidge's hand. At their head was Chief Standing Bull, successor and relative of the late Sitting Bull. Chief Antelope and Chief Hollow Horn, who took part in the Custer Massacre of '76, were also in the party. The redmen were in Washington on account of certain property claims in the Black Hills.

P: Frank W. Stearns leased a 6 1/2 acre estate at Swampscott, Mass., for the summer. It was press-hinted that the President would spend at least part of the summer there.

P: Mr. Coolidge designated John Hays Hammond, engineer, to serve on a commission to arrange for the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington in 1932.

P: Reports indicated that it was the President's intention 1) to appoint a commission to study the problem of disposing of Muscle Shoals-- as suggested by a resolution passed by the House shortly before its adjournment; 2) to have Secretary of State Kellogg sound out naval powers on the question of holding a new limitation of armaments conference for light cruisers and submarines, as soon as it became apparent that the attempt for limitation of armaments under the League of Nations (see Page 6) had definitely failed.
