Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-06-10

There1l be more than the usual
ing at the White House between
Evangeline Lindbergh and Grace
Coolidge. Both women vaulted into
the worlds eye in the midst Of lives
that had strangely similar and
humble origins. Perhaps the circum-
stance which the First Lady of the
Land and Mrs. Lindbergh find most
common to them is that by profession
each of them is a school teacher. To-
day one is mistress Of the White
House; the other, the most envied
mother on earth. Comparatively lit
tie is known of the teaching career
of either of them. Since fame over
took her, less than three weeks ago,
it has leaked out that Mrs. Lind
bergh, who teaches chemistry in a
Detroit high school, is extraordinarily
proficient in that science. Women
in the Washington congressional set,
who knew Mrs. Lindbergh when her
husband was in the House, have been
heard in recent hours calling her an
American Nine. Curie. Mrs. Cool
idge, preceding her marriage in 1905,
taught lip reading in a school for the
QGdL DIT Northampton, N1doS' AC
wife of the President and the mother
Of the hero will find a wealth of
mutual interest during their historic
hours together in Washington.

It happens that one of the most
novel of a myriad of suggestions for
enduringly honoring Lindbergh comes
from Mrs. Coolidge's home town. The
nf
at Burlington, proposes that some
American composer worthy of the
task proceed to write a Lindbergh
flight symphony" The chamber
SAYS: "Well has it been observed that
words fail to express what needs to be
| expressed in connection with Lind
bergh's achievement. Nothing could
be more musical than that indescrib-
able fight, the perfect personality of
the flyer and the great recognition of
great event by the people of France.
| What movements there could be in
such a symphony after the perilous
taking.of; flight over land and sea, by
| a lone aviator, with a whole world
thinking about him-fght by day and
by night, and finally a burst of light
and an ovation by a whole people"

| Political Washington paused in the
midst of it's Lindbergh complex to
I gasp over the little "run-in" between
President Coolidge and Senator Smoot
on the question of a special session or
Congress. The G. 0. =. high priest
from Utah emerged from the executive
sanctum and authorized the statement
that the President would convene
| Congress in October. No sooner had
that word been winged to the country
than Mr.. Coolidge issued a devastating
denial. 1t was accompanied by the
stern assertion that when there was
| ANYTHING to announce about special
session the President would be his
own broadcaster. Nobody imagines
| that the White House meant to re-
buke the all-powerful chairman OF the
senate finance committee. But 1t
isn't the first time that Mr.. Coolidge
has taken occasion publicly to resent
| the periodical practice of callers to
tell the world what they CLEANED at
his desk before he was ready to have
| it known.
North Carolina Republicans, who
are probably the most numerous OF
their breed anywhere in Dixie, are
to the front with the very newest
thing under the 1928 sun. One OF
their spokesman, rhapsodizing over
the action of Gov. Fuller Of Massa'
chusetts in appointing a commission
to investigate the Sacco-Vanzetti
case, deposes and says that it's big
enough to earn Fuller national rec
ignition, He therefore proposes that
Republican history could well afford
to repeat itself next year, whereby
the presidential ticket would be
headed by an Ohioan and tail-ended
by q son of the Bay State-as 1t was
in 1920. To that end he suggests
