about necessity for insurance and a

COOLIDGE TAKES
OVER HIS DUTIES
IN WHITE HOUSE
President Occupies Executive
0ficeS-MrS, Harding
UndiSturbed.
By PAUL r. MALLON

United Press stan Correspondent
WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON,
Aug, 13.-President Calvin Coolidge
established himself in the White
House executive offices today ito clean
up the correspondence left unfinished
by the sudden death of President
Harding"
Pledged to carry out the principles
of his predecessor, Mr.. Coolidge goes
into the executive offices as President
for the first time to sit at the desk
where Mr. Harding sat, and finish
the job.
Matters of immediate concern are
the anthracite situation, appointment
of his personal secretary and preserva-
ton of the Harding organization with
in the Republican party.
In Separate Wing
Mr.. CooIidge's entrance into the
executive offices will not disturb Mrs.
Harding's occupancy Of the White
House proper. The offices are in
separate wing.
In the coal strike situation, Mr..
Coolidge is considering two courses:
calling the miners and operators
to the White House and serving notice
the Government will not tolerate a
strike Sept. 1.
2-Bringing steady pressure for q
settlement, and if that fails. acting to
safeguard the public coal supply in
case of a shutdown.
Haste Makes Waste
Mr.. Coolidge is leaning toward tie
first course now. But he is not quick
to make up his mind. He believes
haste makes waste in Government
activity, and will consult again with
his advisers before making public his
decision.
Following out the same idea, the
President is in no hurry to appoint
his personal secretary. Edward T.
Clark of Northampton. Mass, is act
ing in that capacity now and probably
will continue. The latest word from
the President on the question is that
his mind is not yet made up.
But where the President found
cause for immediate action was in the
preservation of the influence Of Mr..
Harding in the Republican party He
had engagements to meet senators,
congressman and politicians in the
ranks who will carry to him their own
personal ideas of how he should move.
There will be no extra session of
Congress if Mr.. Coolidge can pre-
vent it.
