MELLON IS74
and HEALTHY

Stick to Position
Despite Raps

WASHINGTON, March 24.-(P)-
Apparently in excellent health and as
determined as ever TO stick TO the
post be has held for seven stormy
and eventful years, Andrew w. Mel
Ion, secretary Of the treasury, today
observed his 74th birthday.
Entering the Harding cabinet at
the age Of 81 as q second choice for
the appointment, the distinguished
looking Pittsburgh millionaire bank
er and business mar soon found
himself the butt Of repeated attacks
from democrats and republican ir-
regulars in congress, but through IL
all he calmly steered the nation
through the trying period OF post
war financial reconstruction.
Today, after weathering verbal
barragea yer his policies on taxa
ton, prohibition enforcement, sol
diers' bonus, wal debt settlements,
and farm relief, the shy and retiring
cabinet officer was sitting tight in
his plainly furnished office close 70
the White House, un~flinchingly
waiting for the next scene in the lat
est drama on capitol hill revolving
around his official head.
That Is the move made by Senator
Couzens Of Michigan, another mil
lionaire republican, and long q foe
of the Oldest member Of the Coolidge
official family from point Of age, to
place the senate on record as favor
in the resignation Of Mr.. Mellon.
An old complaint over taxation
and other things, but dressed up
with impressions from the secre-
tary's recent testimony In the oil in
v~estigation, II, like all the rest, is
expected to be ignored by the quiet,
little man in the gray stone building
sat the other end of the avenue"
whom some call the financial genius
Of the age.
