tions asked by newspaper correspon-
dents at their semi-weekly confer
ences with the President are sup
posed to indicate the trend of the
public interest in current events.
There have been comparatively few
queries put to the white House
spokesman" since his return from
Swampscott. The inquiries cover the
aviation controversy including the
Mitchell case, the administrations
tax programs, effect of criticisms Of
Western Senators and Congressman
against Secretary of the Interior,
presidential appointments and minor
governmental issues. It appears that
the President is quite willing to
keep Washington in the background
until Congress convenes in Decem-
Der.
Sidelights on the daily spectacle
in official Washington show that the
town is again normal. Mr.. Coolidge
accompanied by secret service
guards, takes his morning stroll be-
fore breakfast and rides in the even
ing along the boulevards for breath
of air after trying day with af-
fairs of state. A watcher at the |
White House on regular business
days, would note Secretary of State
crossing the street from the
of State to consult with
the President on foreign policies.

distance away for a few minutes

matters usually relating to the ma
ions business and sometimes for

sr on matters of foreign relations

,ause of his intimate knowledge of
men and events overseas.
The genial Attorney General, Mr..
Sargent, Of Vermont, is staying at

The Secretary of Agriculture is al II
against the wall for criticism by II
because Of the depart n
