By United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Back
ht the White House today after
three months vacation, President
Coolidge encountered a series Of
pressing problens--the proposed
special session of the Senate, ap-
pointment of an ambassador to
Mexico and a governor general of
the Philippines, the new naval
building program and tax reduction.
Moreover, he found himself sud-
denly cast in swirl of politics
over his. statement that he does not
choose to be a candidate for re-elec-
ton. Potential candidates and
leaders are seeking to ascertain
what he meant by the word Choose"
Meets Curtis First
The President intends to seek ex-
pert consultation on his executive
problems He expects first to meet
with Senator Curtis, Republican
floor leader, to ascertain If Curtis
agrees that special Senate session
Is desirable to get the Ware Smith
election contests out of the way.
He wants to discuss with party
leaders the appointments to be
made and he wants to see all fac
tions involved in the naval building
and tax reduction situations. These
matters all will be discussed at a
cabinet meeting tomorrow.
AS for the furore over his Choose"
statement, he Is expected to keep
his own counsel.
Satisfied With Situation
h Those close to the President be-
Aeve he is satisfied with his state
hent as issued They do not expect
he will issue any mora explicit de-.
nia1 of his intention to be a candi-
date which might be used to prevent
him from being drafted II the party
desired to draft him.
Western politicians long ago ac-
cepted the Presidents statement as
a fiat declaration that he was out
of the race and they have been puz-
zled by the recent suggestions Of
former Secretary of State Hughes
and Mr.. Coolidge's former secre-
tary, @. Bascom Slemp, that Mr..
Coolidge is still in the running.
OF course, the Westerners admit
the possibility that If the party
should be unable to agree upon an
other candidate it would turn to
Mr.. Coolidge by acclamation. But
they do not talk much about that
possibility. Y

"All that happened in these years was i'm
plicit in the situation when Sacco and Van
zetti were first arrested. It was implicit in
their own histories of hard work and lofty
dreams in strange land Everything that
happened developed almost spontaneously.
Therein lies the power and the Importance
of the drama. This story of two alien workers
in America is an epic of all aliens and of all
workers in America. Sacco and Vanzetti were
chosen for their epic role almost accidentally.
They proved themselves big enough to fill it.
They demonstrated what grandeur there may
be in simple, modest workers. With every
tortured hour of their ordeal they expanded,
even their image on mems minds expanded
They found powers of endurance, clarity of
understanding of their own plight in relation
20 the plight of their fellow men. They never
wavered never complained.
"And they died like heroes. Even their enc
mics exclaimed in awe-struck admiration. AS
to their friends-for them old frayed words
like martyrs and heroes have become
young and real. They have acquired names
and history"

A Working Class Epic

PEEP in the memory of class-conscious American
- workers ranIle the Haymarket executions, the
blood of workers in Colorado and Centralia, the
frame-up of Tom Mooney and hundred other in
cidents of the cass-war which lay bare in a flash
the brutalties of the prevailing system of society.
Such incidents enter into the tradition of each
succeeding generation of workers it takes up the
task of emancipation. And it is good that they
remembered. 1t is good for American workers to
remember and pass to their children the story
of Frank Little and the story of Joe Hl above all
it is good for them to remember and tell over and
again the story of Nicola Sacco and Bartoomeo

This story of the "Life and Death of Sacco and
Vanzeth" will reach workers in every country; it
is already being translated into Russian, German,
Italian and other languages The book is illustrated
with photographs of Sacco and Vanzetti; Judge
Thayer; Governor Fuller and others of the leading
figures in the case; well number of the best
cartoons on it which appeared in various newspapers
over the world. No American worker can afford
to miss so clear and moving and authentic pre-

cadent Yankee aristocracy is battling against

The great Lawrence strike breaks out in 1912. A

No single episode in recent history has lighted
up with such terrible power the whole skeleton of
American capitalist society as the judicial murder

ward comedy not before re-
Vealed in his heavier dramatic
productions.
Playing mostly hard-boiled,
"rough.neck" parts, it is natural
for the film spectator to assume
that Wolheim is that type of
character off the stage or screen.
In the main he is, but behind
q gruff exterior, he masks as
good an education as America
affords. He is the same VOL
helm who played fullback for Cor
nell University in the rough and
ready days of the sport, 19O4-O5.
He will always bear the marks
or those college contests.
Looking like the popular con.
ception OF a prize fighter, it is
not easy to believe that he spent
the next six years as an instruc-
tor in mathematics at Cornell
preparatory School. He holds a
degree Of M. e. from Cornell.
Why would an instructor in an
academy for young men turn to
the stage? 1t came through a.
chance acquaintance with Lionel
Barrymore, who, impressed with
the distinctive character of the
college man, persuaded him to
take part in his then current
starring play, The Jest"
From then on Wolheim threw
