On that day President Hoover and ex-Pres- ident Coolidge, together with the chiefs of the republican hierarchy. will gather beside the sS00,0O0 mar ble mausoleum of Warren Gamaliel Harding for the somewhat belated dedication of the late presidents tomb. The same editions carry the announcement of that days decision by the United States supreme court denying ex-Secretary Falls appeal from his prison sentence"
 The Crimson observes that "to younger and perhaps more candid generation such ceremony seems the last degree of hypocrisy. Before the nation and the world the sub feet of these euologies has been re- vealed as one of the most mediocre specimens as ever graced the White House, and as product of the worst sort of machine politics"
 In the Harding administration, the Crimson says. occurred one of the most malodorous scandals ip the country's history"
 The Crimson says that even granting the innocence of the prin- cipal figure. the ability of presi- dent to appoint from among his friends to positions of great public trust men capable of such betrayal is hardly a talent for which the na- tiun can be proud"
