MELLON ATTACKS
FARM AID BILL
Letter Sent to Haugen-McNary
Supporters Declares Basis
is UnS0und.

Washington, D. C.-The secretary
Of treasury, Andrew w. Mellon, struck
a body blow at the interchangeable
Nary farm relief program now pend
ing in the senate. 81 do not believe
the principles contained in the bill
now under consideration are sound,
or that the plan proposed would prove
either workable or beneficial to agri-
culture" said the secretary. The
President is against the type Of legfs-
lation now being considered and he is
against price-fixing. His position on
that is plain. Mr.. Mellon says the bill
under consideration is price-fxing.
He adds that it will hurt the farmer
more than it will help him.
Mr.. Melons letter, solicited by the
Corn Belt farm group, came as a
bombshell just at the time that the
senate was preparing to limit debate
and plan for a final vote on the
measure. There is one other effect of
the Mellon announcement which has
caused political observers to take real
notice. Charles G. Dawes, vice presi-
dent, is for the farm bill, His name
has become closely associated with
the bill and is linked with the original
author. The letter puts Mr.. Mellon
on one side and Mr.. Dawes on the
other. Mr.. Mellon says the bill is un-
sound economically. Mr.. Dawes said
that it is sound.

ried to Ingeborg Olson who passed

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page u

President Coolidge finds himself
driven from home and from
church by engineers who have
pronounced the White House and
the First Congressional Church
unsafe. 1t will require several
months to repair the White
House, and Congress has appro-
priated an amount for this pur-
pose. 1t is doubtful that the
work will be undertaken until the
President leaves for his summer
home in the Adirondacks. How
ever, it will be necessary for
him to have another residence in
Washington temporarily on his
return. Several homes have
been offered to him, but no &C
ceptance has been announced.
The suggestion has been made
that he should occupy the mag
nifcent home on Sixteenth Street
across from several foreign en-
bassies. This building is one of
the beauty spots of Washington,
but has never been occupied be-
cause Mrs. Henderson, the owner,
built it as an official residence
for the Vice-presidents of the
United States. The Government
does not provide homes for Vice
presidents. 1t was built during
Colleges term but he rejected
the offer and preferred to live in
a local hotel. Mr.. Dawes like
wise refused to occupy the build
ing.
At the time Coolidge declined
the place as an official residence,
it was estimated that his salary
as Vice-president would not be
sufficient to pay for the servants
that were necessary to maintain
such a home, and there is no ap-
preparation for a residence for
the Vice-presidents. Few people
realize the conditions necessary
for the acceptance of home,
even temporary, for the Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t
must be passed upon by the
United States Secret. Service
which, under the law, is respon-
sible for the safety of the Presi-
dent. They require a building
which will permit policing as
we'll as certain comforts. Once
a building has been occupied by
the Chief Executive it becomes
a famous landmark and it's realty
value increases many times.

and established by st. Eugenius in the
first century of the Christian era. has
in his retinue. Count de Bril-, who is
a grandee OF Spain and member of
the Council of State. He Is accom-
panied by Senior Grams and Senior Pla,
both Of whom are members of the
Kings household. These gentlemen
will be the guests OF the Ambassador
and Sonora de Riano in the embassy
here after the religious congress has
ended. There is a possibility also of
the coming of Mgr. Fidel Garcia Y
Martinez, who is Bishop of Calahorra,
and who will not be hedged about
with so much ceremony as the Pri-
mate, Cardinal Reig. These distin.
guished visitors will add a colorful
note to the end of the season ameni-
