COOLIDGE AGAIN
 DOES NOT CHOOSE
Repeats He's Not Candidate
 Slemp Backs Hoover

Washington. March 2o P,--Presi- with 4 declination of the first formal request that he disregard his per sonal desire to retire and stand for reelection for a second elective term.
 Whether this will put a stop to persistent talk in some republican circles Of "drafting" Mr Coolidge as the nominee at Kansas City in June remains 10 be seen.
 The president made known his position yesterday in a letter from his secretary. Everett Sanders, 10 l.. (. Hinklc. chairman of the Nyo ming republican state central com mittcc, which had adopted a resolu ton requesting the executive to waive his personal preference and consent to continue for an addition al four years that leadership which has brought honor and prosperity to this country
 'Thc president has received your letter of the l7th. Enclosing copy of the resolution adopted by the re- publican state committee of Wyo- ming on March 1o,' the letter read. While he. Of course. very greatly appreciates and thanks you for the ,Npression Of confidence. the prcsi- dent directs me 10 say that he must decline 10 grant the request Of the committee"
 The letter served to emphasize the presidents stand taken on two pfevious occasions, last August in ihe Black Hills when he issued his famous Do not choose 10 run statement, and last December at the White House when he told mem bers of the republican national com Iyttee that he regarded himself eliminated from the 1928 presidcn- tIal race.
 On the latter occasion Mir. Cool idge was believed 10 have resented : statement that he left the door open for his candidacy in that tersc decision by declaring that his stand as taken. should be respected. He then urged the party to prepare to select ''another Candidate,' and said many capsb ble ones were available,
 While no word has issued from the president since his December statement, considerable talk has been going the rounds of plans tc draft" him and Georgia republt- cans, in convention. have promised linn tho support of that states dele ration to the Kansas City convention f he would consent 10 become q candidate.

STOCKS BREAK

Higher Rediscount In

Chicago Federal Reserve rediscount
rate from 3 l-2 TO 4 per cent. Greene
C~ananea copper collapsed 3 3-s points
on the first sale, Montgomery Ward
3 Ia and Radio corporation, .Interna-
tional nickel, Union Carbide, New
Haven, Collins and Altman, Gold
Dust and Calumet and Arizona all
dropped 2 points or more. General
Motors opened with a block Of 5000
shares at l34, off = Ia, end later sold
down below that figure.
Blocks CT 5000 to 1000 shares were
quite common in the early trading.
The liquidation of investors and
spectators who feared that the high
err Chicago rate was a forerunner Of
q general Tightening Of interest rates
and a restriction in the volume of
speculative credit available was
swelled by the hammering tactics Of
bear" traders.
Selling orders poured into the
market from all sections of the coun-
try, and many of them read cat the

result that the sharpest reactions took
place in those issues. Rails, which

resistance TO selling pressure al
though early declines Of a point or
two were quite common in that group.

PAPER WANTS
KWWC STORY
Milwaukee Journal
Asks For Data on
Valley Station

Up in the cold frozen north, where
snow means something besides a
theme for poetical outbursts and is
a reason TO go where you're not
rather than to come where you'd like
to be. the fame of KWWG, the radio
station of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, has attracted big time atten-
ton.
Curtis Strong, announcer for the
local broadcasting station, Is in re-
ceipt of a letter requesting a story
on the Valley plant-a story with
pictures.
That letter comes from no less an
institution than the Milwaukee
Journal, M of the leading dailies
in the north.
So numerous have become reports
Of the receipt of the Valley station,
the letter states, that the paper feels
il would be only fair to its readers
to give them detailed information
concerning the station they hear so
frequently.
Full information concern i n z
KWWG, located at Hotel FL Jardin
here. will be sent to the paper i'm
mediately, together with the de-
sired photographs, NJ. Strong said.
Letters at the rate Of more than
200 a day are pouring into the sta
ton from far distant sections Of
the United States. and some from
Canada. while recently a communi-
cation from Hawai- was received at
KWWG.
These letters are practically unan-
imous in their statements that the
station is coming in clear and
strong, while one man in Chicago
said the Valley station was received
more clearly than his home stations.
New York City. various points in
California, Maine and Florida are
just a few of the many places
heard from almost daily, Mr.. Strong
said.
