CoOLIlfE FLASHES So 5, ID BINGHAM
(Continued from First Page)

President Coolidge is known to look on the postal bill as more than the mere question of increasing salaries of the employees. The vote will show what senators he can depend on to support the administration which has just been endorsed by 100000 majority of the nations voters.
 Coolidge counted on New England and the rock ribbed republican state of Connecticut to support him in everything, but il is learned that re. gently he has been advised that per haps neither Connecticut senator would support the veto. Senator Mclean had been counted among the administration supporters on veto vote, but he IS also claimed by the forces working for passage of the postal bill. Mclean refuses to make a definite atelnent of his stand, and since he has not an- nounced his intention to support Coolidge, administrati tion leaders are not so anxious to get Bingham here as they were short while ago, as Bingham might follow the lead of the senior senator should the latter decide to balk the administration on the postal bill veto.
 The possibilities in this situation are more far reaching than is at first apparent Events since the cleo ton show that the administration in- tends to punish its enemies and re- ward Its friends. Should Bingham refuse to come to the aid of the ad-
 Einistration by taking office as sen- ator before January 6, or should he take office and then vote to override the veto--very possibly the deciding vote-he might not fare well in the party coucils. On the other hand, should Mclean vote against the president but Bingham uphold he veto, 1t is quite conceivable that the senior senator's influence will wane to the benefit of the influence of the newly elected but regular" junior senator.

cellent service at a nominal figure for several years. Your commis- sion has zealously opposed any fran chise for routes that interfered with the business of the Connecticut Co. Bus lines are established and con- trolled under authority of your office and are entitled to the same kind of protection as is afforded the trolley lines, creatures placed under your guardianship by action of the legislature. F doubt very much if your commission can justify the grant of franchise for bus line to be operated by the Connecticut Co. when 1t is going to put another bus line at great disadvantage. Might I suggest a possible remedy for this situation? There have been instances here. notably in the Jerome street hearing, when one jitneur opposed giving a franchise to another whose line was to par aliel his As a solution, the com- mission ordered the second appli- cant to run his cars as express un- til he passed out of the area served by the first.
