A fishing trip has been planned by
President Coolidge for later today. Much
as the Chief Executive has heard OF
MIR. Hoover's fishing skill. he has never
had an opportunity to watch him In
action. Although perhaps ready to grant
the greater angling ability OF his cabi-
net officer. MFR. Coolidge thought that
the superior knowledge he had acquired
by now of the WAYS OF the Brule trout
might equalize his handicap and allow
him to make better showing than
Mr.. Hoover today.
