PRESIDENT AWAITS
WORD ON CAMPAIGN
Coolidge viii Discuss Pro-
gram With Secretary Work
Next Week.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.
Staf Correspondent Of The star.

CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, Brule
River, Wis. June 27.-What part, If
any. President Coolidge viii take in
the forthcoming national campaign,
will not be determined until after he
has conferred with Secretary of In
terror Work, the newly-elected chair
man Of the Republican national COM
mittee, who viii arrive here next Mon
day for brief visit.
In the meantime the President is
giving little thought to the subject. He
does not know now to what extent he
might participate in behalf OF his
party's standard bearers. While dis
cussing this subject with friends he
has made it very clear that politics
has been far removed from his mind
since he arrived up here and that he
prefers to remain In quiet seclusion
on the Brule rather than participate
in the campaign.
Prefers Seclusion.
Mr. Coolidge has recently received a
number of written appeals and sug-
gestions from those high in the party
councils regarding his assistance, and
he is not unmindful of what is ex-
pected of him between now and the
time for balloting next November. He
has been going along under the as
sumption that If there is anything he
can do, 1t will develop later-when the
necessities of the moment can be more
clearly seen.
So far as he personally is concerned.
Mr.. Coolidge would like to remain in
seclusion. He realizes that he IS out
Of the picture and seems very willing
and quite happy to step into the back
ground and stay there. However, being
strong and loyal party man. Of more
than q quarter Of century of politi-
cal activity and office holding, he quite
naturally realizes that he could be of
some service. and despite his personal
desires undoubtedly viii feel called upon
to do something in behalf of the Re-
publican ticket. In this respect there
is one thing very certain, and that is
Mr.. Coolidge's ultimate contribution is
going TO fall far short of what the
campaign managers are hoping for. He
has already been advised that they
would like him to deliver several cam

WALL STREET SEES BIG !, POSSIBILITIES NOW IN
 BILLION DOLLAR POOL
By VICTOR II. SCALES GA. p. Staff Writer)


 NEW YORK. July 23.--Sugges- tion of billion dollar money pool" has given Wall Street a new thrill.
 Possible. but not probable. bank CTS say, yet the potentialities Of the undertaking. talk of which started during the stress of the July period of 10 per cent call money, interested market obsery- CTS.
 Accumulation of such a fund, ac- utally $1,000.0 0.000,0OO in credit. for little would be held in cash-prob- ably involves no insurmountable difficulties. One bank alone of the dozens in the Street has de- posits exceeding that sum. Sur plus funds of few of the great corporations now active in the money market would go far to- ward supplying it.
 Hackers of such pool would be come powerful potentates in fact as well as in name Wall Street ordinarily uses from $30.000,000 to $100,000, 900 to finance it's daily operations in the securities mar kets, and with such enormous credit immediately available 1t would fear no longer the tight money" which has kept the mar ket nervous for weeks. Undoubt- edly the pool operators could sta- bilize call money at any desirable level and prevent such fluctua- tions as that which recently car ried the loan rate to 10 per cent and as quickly dropped it back to , per cent.
 Curtaii Speculation
 The interests in control might well be able to oppose any orgah- ized efforts, such as the Federal Reserve is reputed recently to have made, to curtail speculation by raising the rediscount rate. As long as pool operators were will ing, speculation might grow to un- dreamed of volume and New York markets become beyond any ques- ton or doubt the greatest in the world-and in history.
 However, financiers say from experience that those who oppose the bank of issue find the way of the dissenter hard, and possibly new means would be found to curb the activities of even so powerful combination
 But the idea of this golden pool from which spectators might dip their needed daily funds is not so fantastic as the enormous suggest ed capital indicates For years money pools" have been in opera ton on a smaller scale. There are pools in every market and pools in the money market today. Their sponsors seldom are named; in fact, they probably would be the first to deny even the exis- tence of such pools. But they ac- tually are in operation and since Wall treet has learned to talk in millions instead of thousands, |. (Continued on Page Fiye.) [

SALMON PACK TO WESTWARD
 H0L DING UP
Many Fish Being Put Up
 and with Much Less Gear than Formerly
U. s. COMMISSIONER
 O'MALLEY REPORTS
Hoovers S Conservation Pol- icy Is Given Credit by
 Fisheries Head

SEWARD, Alaska, July B. "The Department of Commerce is pleased to see the run of salmon this season which demonstrates a pack can be secured with less gear, also giving the fish a chance to get to the spawning grounds. Secretary Hocver's con servation policy is not to strangle the fishing industry but it is a wise use of resources so as to have sufficient fish for the fu- ture."
 The above is the statement of Henry O'Malley, United States Fisheries Commissioner who has arrived in Seward from the West ward enroute south.
 Flory on Brandt
 Charles H. Flory, District For eter of Alaska and Commissioner for the Department of Agricul- ture, who is on an inspection trip. returned to Seward Satur- day night from the Interior and left on Commissioner O'Malley's flagship Brant.
 Bristol Bay Fishing
 Commissioner O'Malley said fishing in Bristol Bay to July 14 showed total of SS6, 6,345 cases of which 95 per cent were reds. The Bristol Bay run, with the exception of the Ugashik River, is all good and Dennis Winn, Bureau of Fisheries Agent who is there at present, reports escapements good and predicts a probably pack of 1.000,000 cases which is normal for that area On the south side of the Alaska Peninsula.
 Runs Below Normal
 'In the vicinity of False Pass and Ikatan. the runs of reds are below normal and pinks and chums appear. The pack there should be about 350.000 cases with reds in the minority.
 "At Chiegnik, commercial fish ing has just started. The Bureau |of Fisheries wants to secure the minimum escapement of nearly 1,00O,OO0 before commercial fish ing is permitted. The escapment of salmon there five years ago was less than 100000 and this year sc far it has been 766, AT.
 Pack at Kodiak
 "The pack on Kodiak Island is normal to date. One feature there, that is not pleasing, is the increased activity where l feel there will be everlasting. To combat this situation, the closing date on all streams uncontrolled by weirs has been set for Aug ust 15.
 At Karluck we maintain the weir shall have an escapement of 714,000 fish into the river. At this time the canneries have only taken 100000 fish for com  mercial purposes.
 At Alitak, escapement was nearly 10000. Fishing has just commenced for reds. Prince William Sound "In Prince William Sound 1t appears the pack is just normal for an even year which should be a big year.
 "The Copper River flats show marked improvement this year with 46,655 cases of reds packed and 14,510 kings.
 Southeastern Alaska Tn Southeastern Alaska re- ports indicate good runs in Icy Straits and the Ketchikan dis tricts. In fact the forecast is as good as in 1926"
 Up to the end of June the seal take in the Pribilofs was 12,000 skins as compared to 5000 the same date last year, Fisheries Commissioner O'Malley stated.
