clares That Harding Ac-

Definite abandonment of President

buy, sell and distribute coal was an
nounced to the House to-day by Chair
men Winslow of the interstate com
merce commission. at the beginning Of
debate on the bill to create machin-
crv to supervise distribution only.
The change in plans. Mr.. Winslow
said, had been acquiesced in by the
president, whose suggestion for a pur-
chasing and selling agency had been
thrust into the background Of congres-
sional consideration almost as soon as
it was submitted.
Quoting the recommendation as con-
tanned in the presidents address to
Congress on the rail and coal situa

his report on the distribution bill:
Since the utterance of the forego
ing suggestion by the president, his
advisers, including members of the vol

president and those also who have ad
vised and assisted in the preparation
Of this bill have determined and agreed
that the possible plan suggested by
the president could be well set aside,
and another method followed in work
ing out the problem.
"The president is in accord with this
conclusion. The bill is the outgrowth
of such determination and as such has
been considered and reported favorably
by the interstate commerce commit
tee"
