EFFECT
Administration to Go Slow in
Backing Move Seen as 5
Attack on Measure.
By JOHN T. LAMBERT.

-
Refusing to be swayed by
Secretary Melons anti-bonus
propaganda, President Coolidge
viii take his own time and de-
eide for himself the. Administra-
lions policy on the soldiers
bonus, according to the best adj
vices obtainable here today.
Keeps Free Hand.
Melons latest attack does not in
any way commit the Administration.
That inference is plainly to be
drawn from the statement given to
fhe public by spokesman for the
President.
When asked to comment on
MELONS tax-reduction plan, which
contained the usual expression OF
hostility to the bonus. the spokes-
man was content to say that while
the plan was interesting, the Ad-
ministration could well afford to
swat the reaction it would arouse
a. the public mind.
Mellon occupies q unique place in
9ke Cabinet. He creates his own
issues. He speaks his own mind.
He is an example OF one liability
which accrued to Harding when he
surrounded himself with the So
called big men," who kept for
themselves the privilege of moseying
down one street while the Admin
1etration was going up another.
The system lacked the "co-opera-
tion" whcih the present Administra-
tion is so frequently describing as
necessary to carry on the business
OF the Government most success
fully.
Blamed for Veto.
Mellon was very influential with
ne late President Harding. He
was so potent, in fact, as to be
credited by the soldier veterans as
the influence which prompted Hard.
ing to veto the bonus. President
Coolidge has In a public statement
paid tribute to Secretary Mellon az
zone OF the best financial minds
In the nation, but has given no in
oication thus far that he intends to
permit the Secretary to mark the
paths which the Administration will
tread.
The Mellon statement Is regard
cd as an active attempt 10 stir UP

against giving the bonus to the

facturers' Associations win get be.

ing again and, for the third sue

Try is still with them.
Has Aided Rich.
Meanwhile. the liberal forces IN
Congress, headed by Congressman
Nelson of Wisconsin, have begun
an intensive investigation with the
view of testing the equality OF Mel
Ions plan of tax reductions. They
have found already that the Mel
lon plan will result in tax reduc
lions of 1892 zoo. 900 for the rich
while they can account for reduc
tons of only 100000 for the
taxpayers of moderate means. Mel
son recalled today that the CHIEF
tax laws Of the Harding Admins
tEation were the reductions OF al
most a, billion dollars on surtaxes
and excess profits Those reduc
lions were urged by Mellon.
Nelson said he also recalled that
Mellon first opposed the soldiers
bonus at a time when he was de-
livering $500, 900, 900 from the pub
lie treasury to the railroads.

she virtually took charge of the busi-

Harding returned to Marion he and

In 1914, when Mr.. Harding started
for Washington to take his seat in

1t was during the preconvention

campaign of 1920 that Mrs. Hard
ing displayed her fortitude to its
greatest advantage. Things looked
dark for the camp of Senator Hard
ing. Only a dangerously small mi
nority expressed belief that he
would get the nomination, and in
the meantime Leonard Wood and
Gov. Lowden were waging :telling
campaigns.
But Mrs. Harding stood firm and

ment. and are allied with the lives of
the first Presidents in the White House.
For this precedent Mrs. Harding showed
the most profound respect and only
in minor matters did she change
single rule, and, always when 1t was
for the comfort of the people AS
the wife of the President of a great
republic. she yet had a care for the
amenities of the more formal side of
court life, and fitted into every niche
of the great social plan Of her posi-
ton. The official receptions and din
ners of the Harding regime must
stand forth as among the most beau
tiful and brilliant ever seen in the
White House.
Arranged Flowers Herself.
With an ardent love of flowers, Mrs.
Harding personally planned the dec
Grafton for each state dinner and re-
ception, and it was at these state
dinners-or before them-that woman
writers learned most intimately about
Mrs. Harding.
1t was her custom to give them free
range of the state suite before these af-
fairs. the brilliancy of their descriptions
being limited only by the natural facility
of their pens and the space allowed.
After they had inspected the drawing
rooms and table, il was the custom of
Mrs. Harding to come down from her
private abode on the second floor and
show the girls"-"us girls as she al
ways called newspaper women-just
how and of what her gown was fash
ioned and to conflde to them some little
secrets of toilet such as this is the
gown l designed for myself" and asking
their ideas on the drapery or embellish-
ment. She was SO sweet and sympa-
thetic with woman writer's in their work
and so friendly that Il little girl Of
twelve, who was taken to the White
House preceding state dinner. said
frankly, II don't in the least feel like

to see some very wonderful big woman"
Her Grace and Dignity.
In receiving ambassadors and their
wives and other diplomats, as well as
the higher officials Of the government
Mrs. Harding showed great dignity and
grace her splendid figure and bearing
and her faultless costumes, with her al
charm to her greeting which one never
forgot.
When the great men came from the
other great countries of the world for
the arms conference last November, Mrs
Harding was again called upon to exert
herself socially. and in Europe she
is known for her great dignity and
graciousness of manner.
There was just one feature of Wash
ington social life in which Mrs
Harding wished to see a change. and
that was the calling code for the
wives of cabinet members. senators
and representatives. AS the matter
stood. and as IL yet-for the most
stands. 1t took every minute of a

according to this code. She had been
a senator's wife, and, though barred
from much of 1t by illness. she yet
knew.
Urges Personal Contact.
With this In mind she sent out
a little letter citing the fact that Ia
view of the duties of official women
being greatly enlarged by. the COM
ing of the arms conference she
thought it a pity for the first season
of the administration to pass without
the ladies becoming acquainted and
for the women of the cabinet and
Congress not to meet. The exchange
of cards means so little without per-
sonal contact" she wrote, that she
asked the ladies of the cabinet and
the House of Representatives to a
tea, that they might mingle freely.
She did this also for the ladies of
the cabinet and the Senate. thus re-
lieving An-under her personal
sanctioned all necessity for further
calling. BY her supreme diplomacy
Mrs. Harding thereby settled a
mooted question of who should call
first, for having invited the women
OF the Senate to receive with her 1t
left the women of the cabinet to be
presented to them, and not vice
versa.
Mrs. Harding's last appearance in
public was when the President re
viewed the District troops on the
White Lot and when she appeared
on the south front balcony of the
White House to hear the Marine Band
concert-a custom of hers and an
occasion upon which she always had
woman friends with her Since that
time, and until she became confined
to her bed. her exercise was re.
stricted to an early morning drive
or walk on the White House lawn.
