SENATORS ATTACK
INAUGURAL PLANS
Mcclellan and King Want More
Elaborate Ceremonies-Justice
Funds Fought.

Sentiment for more elaborate in
augural celebration than now con-
templated was voiced on the floor of
cratic Senator'S, Senator McKeIlar
and Senator King. The Senate had
under consideration an item for the
Department of Justice, and the Sena-
tors named criticized the amount ap-
propriated for the department on the
ground that it was charged some of
the money had been used to break
into and search offices of United
States Senators. Senator Mcclellan
said:
There are great many people in
this country interested in the in
augural ceremonies, and I understand
these ceremonies are to be largely
cut out. II 100000 could be saved
out of this extravagant appropria-
ton, there might be little more
money to expend on the Inauguration
of the President of the United States
Senator King replied that he would
have preferred to see John w. Davis
inaugurated President, but as one of
these tellers, in counting the vote to-
day in the joint session of the House
join with my associates in finding
that Calvin Coolidge was elected
President of the United States. /

should like to see the President of
the United States inaugurated with

FEARS FOR PER DIEM
EMPLOYEES VACATION
Brmesnahan Wants District Bill
Made Clear on Leave
Privilege.

Although the new District bill as
passed by the House contains a clause
intended to restore to the 1000 per
diem employees of the District the
leave privilege recently taken from
them by a ruling Of the Controller
General, Frank J. Bresnahan. presi-
dent of the City Employees Associa
ton. expressed fear today that the
per diem men still may be deprived
of leave under the wording of the
House bill.
The controller ruled that the per
diem workers could not be given 10
days leave because the clauses of the
appropriation bill in which their sal
aries are provided for refers to their
service as being temporarily re-
quired," although most of them are
employed continuously from year to
year
The language inserted in the new
appropriation bill is intended to
overcome the legal obstacle found
by the controller, but Mr.. Bresnahan
believes the surest way to provide the
leave privilege is to clarity the word
ing Of those sections where the serv-
ice of the men is referred merely as
temporary.

Court Lauds Coolidge, But Has No Message for
Youth-Holds Education Is Not Improving.

1t might prevent war altogether. or
at least prevent them from becom-
ing of great magnitude.
Mr.. Coolidge is an ideal President.
His selection of assistants will be his
trouble. The third party. / hope, is
dead. We have brought to our atten-
ton every day in foreign countries the
futility OF number of parties. hope
this will never occur in America"
On the subject of the young people
of today and their education, Mr..
Edison spoke briefly and with less
emphasis. His eyes twinkled as he
answered in response to a question.
he had not noticed any Improvement
IN the manners of the rising genera
tion. He avoided an opportunity to
send a message to the young men of
America by declaring they take no
advice. The young women, he said,
are mystery
Standards Not Raised.
A simple mo- was his reply to a
question as to whether American edu
cational standards have shown any
improvement since he issued his first
questionnaire, which subsequently
became nightmare to young men
seeking positions in his establishment
and revealed a lack OF knowledge on
the part of men presumably edu-
Gated.
Speaking of his own work and the
progress of science, Mr.. Edison said
he had plenty of electrical develop
ments in the making, but they hang
back. Radio can never take the
place of the telephone as the everyday
means of communication, he said.
Speaking motion pictures, his own
invention, have no merit. he declared.
He introduced a device of this kind
several years ago, and it was ex-
hibited in several countries.
Takes Trip With Ford.
Mr.. Edison will remain here for
about two months, taking an almost
complete rest, with virtually all of
his leisure time spent in reading.
He and Henry Ford, his next-door
neighbor, and an old friend, took
trip up the Orange River in small
motor boat.

BY the Associated Press

FORT MYERS, February 12.-Ad-
hitting that he felt fine. despite his
wlfe's inSistence that he slept six
hours day instead of his customary
four, Thomas A. Edison yesterday
celebrated his seventy eighth birth
day anniversary at his Winter home
here.
Except for deluGe of kilograms of
congratulations from all over the
world. and the giving of his Gus
tomary birthday Interview which, in
recent years has become a national
institution, the day was a quiet one.
In terse answers to questions, Mr..
Edison declared that World Court
with power to enforce it's DEGREES, is
essential to the peace of the world; ;
praised President Coolidge; declined
to admit any noticea BILE improvements
in the manner of the rising genera
ton or any elevation of standards of
American education since his famous
questionnaire revealed its alleged
lack of practica bility, and refused to
undertake to advise young men, be-
cause they take no advice"
The general wizard of electricity
found enjoyment in a question as to
his hours of sleep.
Sleeps in "ShiftS."
II see no necessity for increa sing
my hours of sleep. but my wife
thinks differently, SO I take it in two
sections, first four hours for myself,
after which I wake up. and then take
two more hours of sleep to satisfy
her"
For many years, Mr.. Edison's birth
day has been the one occasion on
which he has permitted himself full
expression of his opinions about
events of the day
"All the nations have had a terrible
example in the World War, but
memory is short" he said. THE soon
er the world court is established, the
better. But it must have something
behind it to enforce it's DEGREES;
otherwise it will be useless.
