Express Great Sorrow at
Sudden Death of Former
President.

Leaders of political and business life
all over the country today joined in
paying high tribute to former President
Calvin Coolidge and expressing their
great sorrow at his sudden death to-
day. Among those quoted by the As
sociated Press were the following:
President-elect Franklin d. Roose-
veIt-"I am inexpressibly shocked at
the news of Mr.. Coolidge's death. The
Nation suffers a great loss in his sud-
den and untimely passing. I shall
never forget his generous and friendly
telegram to me in 1920, when he de-
feated me for Vice President.
THE deepest sympathy OF Mrs.
Roosevelt and myself goes out to his
family"
Senator Fess, Ohio Republican-"He
was a great character whose influence
will not cease with his life"
Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah
"A most remarkable man has passed
away. He had the confidence of the
American people. Wise in his decision,
he will be remembered as one of the
great Presidents of our country"
Senator; Vandenberg, Republican,
Michigan-"He typified the finest tradi-
tions of the Republic. He possessed
the complete confidence of the Ameri-
can people and the world"
Senator Fletcher, Democrat, Florida
"a great loss to the Nation
Senator Watson, Republican leader
"He was one of the most remarkable
men of his time Beginning as a mem
Der of the Council of the small town
Of Northampton, he rose to the preSi-
dency of the United States. No man
in the entire history Of America was
ever so completely successful from the
lowest office to the highest in the gift
Of the American people.
"A man of remarkable ability ana
great personality, he embodied the
characteristics of mind and heart that
led the people Of the country to give
him their complete confidence"
Col. E. Nj. House, political adviser to
the late President Woodrow Wilson
He was one of the most remarkable

GREEN PROPOSES
FORCE IF NEEDED
FOR 5DAY WEEK
Declares Shorter Working
Period Is Vital to Provid-
ing More Jobs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The use of economic force" by call
ing strikes If necessary, to bring about
establishment Of shorter work week
in industry was advocated today by
William Green, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, appearing as
the first witness before Senate Judi
ciary Subcommittee on the Black bill
to establish the five-day week and six
hour day in all industries.
He was SO convinced of the necessity
OF shorter hours, he said, that I'VE are
prepared to support the plan to bring
it about either through legislative en-
actment, persuasion of those ready to
yield or to exercise our economic force
in compelling employees to accept it."
Would Call Strikes.
How would you exercise such force?"
Chairman Norris asked.
by calling strikes where the men are
organized" the labor official replied,
land thus withhold the service of the
employees until industry establishes the
shorter week"
Norris agreed that something should
be done" but disagreed with Green's
last resort method of strikes.
I'VE ought to avoid any such thing
as that" Norris said.
YES" Green replied, but it's
through the exercise of our economic
strength that we get relief. I shrink
to think it necessary to take such steps,
but industrial leaders refuse to take
action. Some have voluntarily eStab-
lished the five-day week, but they
are so isolated that application of the
shorter work week in a fewer industries
has no effect on the general situation"
Holds Plan Necessary.
Green said he was firmly convinced
that the shorter work week must be ap-
piled in industry generally IF we are
to create work for millions Of idle and
who are willing and anxious to work"
Industry has become so highly
mechanical" he added, that it has
been utterly and absolutely impossible
to provide work at the cid standard
work week and work day.
so we are face to face with the in
evitable fact that adjustments must be
made in work time or we must accept
the condition of permanent standing
army of unemployed"
Green said prior to 1929 many mil
lions were out of work through the
introduction of machinery and "even
though we were at the peak of the pro-
duction it was impossible for industry
to absorb those displaced by the ma
chine"

BELLEFONTE, Pa, January Sin
Rockview Penitentiary, from which he
was released several years ago as a
model prisoner, Joseph Hudock, "a, died
in the electric chair today for the torch
murder of Stanley E. Yurish.

turned, drenched Yurish's body with
gasoline and set fire to it. Hudock, it

with his life was committed early on
May IS, 1882, outside the victims home,
near Hazleton, Pa.
Hudock pleaded guilty to the killing
and testified against Barron. The lat
ter. however, was acquitted. He testi-
fed Hudock had forced him at pistol

ROOSEVELT PARLEY
DATA ASSEMBLED
Eleven Democratic Leaders
Leave Today for Confer
ence in New York.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Eleven Democratic congressional
leaders, their portfolios laden with data
on the Treasury's condition and with
revenue-raising proposals, leave today
for New York City to confer with
President-elect Roosevelt on what to do
at this session to balance the budget
and cut Government expenses.
They are hopeful the incoming
Executive will clearly define his ideas
as to needs for revenue raising legis-
lation and the form he favors, since
it has been made apparent that Mr..
Roosevelt dislikes the proposed manu-
facturers' sales tax.
The group now is divided over
whether to seek a substantial revision
of the tax laws to meet the S307, 900 900
deficit which the present administration
estimates for the next fiscal year, but
it may get together at the conference
Plans for Survey Cancelled.
Senate Democrats already have side
tracked proposals to attach additional
tax legislation on the beer bill now
pending in their branch. and plans to
have the House Ways and Means
Committee review the fiscal situation
yesterday were Cancelled by Democratic
leaders pending the conference with
Roosevelt.
1t has been evident some Demo-
Gratis favor tackling a budget balancing
program that would make the income
meet expenditures dollar for dollar.
But others are leaning toward the pro-
posal to separate so-called capital in
Vestent appropriations-public works and
buildings-from actual running ex-
penses of the Government and to issue
long-term bonaS to amortize the outlay
on the theory that future generations
should contribute to facilities made
available for them.
Speaker Garner, the Vice President
elect, who will head the group, has
said he disapproves of propositions to
reach a so-called paper balance and
plans to urge the adoption of tax
plan. He said an equaized Federal
budget was essential to the recovery
OF business" but that it was only a
guess" as to how much revenue would
be needed.

BY the Associated Press
NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Janu-
ary 5.-Calvin Coolidge, thirtieth
President of the United States,
died suddenly today. He would
have been 81 years old July 4.
Returning home from shop
ping tour, Mrs. Coolidge found the
body of her husband on the bed
in room at the Beeches, the es-
tate to which he retired at the
conclusion of his career at the
National Capital.
His death was wholly uneX-
pected, although for the past
three weeks Mr.. Coolidge had
complained of indigestion.
Doctors said death was due to
heart disease
Returned Home Suffering.
The former President, who up
TO the time of his death was the
only surviving ex-President of the
United States, had gone to his
law office as usual this morning.
After a short time in the office
Mr.. Coolidge became distressed
and decided to return home.
Harry Ross, his secretary, re-
turned to the Beeches with him.
Mrs. Coolidge, meanwhile, had
gone to the center of the city
shopping.
Mr.. Coolidge assured Ross that
he would be all right after a short
rest and after aiding the former
President 20 the bed room Ross
returned to the first floor of the
house to await the return of Mrs
Coolidge.
Mrs. Coolidge Finds Body.
When Mrs. Coolidge, 20 minutes
later, returned and Ross told her
of Mr.. Coolidge's illness she went
Immediately to his bed room.
There she found her husbands
body. A doctor was quickly sum-
moned, but the former President
was beyond aid.
The doctor said Mr.. Coolidge
had been dead about Is minutes,
so that he must have passed away
within a few moments after Ross
left the room.
Leading a Quiet Life.
The former President had been lead
ing a quiet life since his return to
Northampton after his successor in the
presidency, Herbert Hoover, was inaug-
urated on March 4, 1929. His day-to-
day program varied little. and it had
not changed greatly despite the slight
indisposition of the past three weeks.
Ordinarily he spent part of the day
at his law Office, with occasional writing
upon the magazine articles which he
had contributed from time to time to
various publications.

Weathered ManyPo.
litical Storms as
President.

Born and reared in the humble
surroundings of a Vermont farm
Calvin Coolidge was destined tc
go by successive steps to the high
est and mightiest Office of a great
Nation, to administer its affairs
for six years and to terminate his
presidential career virtually OF
his own volition.
To the vice presidency and
to the presidency, he brought
a shrewd common sense, a
quiet personality in vivid con-
traSt with some of his predeceS-
SorS, a keen native wit and many
homely likes and dislikes retained
from his New England boyhood
Among his supporters he in.
spired an ardent admiration and
from his political opponents he
often received the bitterest of de-
nunciationS. But there were,
nevertheless, many in the latter
group who valued his friendship
and liked to smoke cigar with
him and talk things over.
Reaching the presidency upon the
death of Warren G. Harding in 1928
Mr.. Coolidge was confronted with prob
lerns of rehabilitation arising from the
World War and the depression of 1921
and almost at once the country was
shaken by the scandals which were re-
vealed In the naval oil leases, the JUS
tice Department and the Office of the
custodian of alien property.
Rode Out Storms.
With serenity and calmnesS he rode
out these storms and meanwhile insti-
tuted policy of governmental economy
and mutual helpfulness in assisting Eu-
rope to work out its postwar problems.
Such was the success of this program
that when he ran for President in 1924
he was returned to Office by popular
plurality of 100000, the greatest that
had been accorded candidate for the
up to that time.
The manner of his leaving the presi-
dency aroused a national interest COM
parable with that of his induction into
that Office by his father in a lamp-lit
room of the latter's Vermont farm
home.
Mr.. and Mrs Coolidge on the after
noon Of the Inauguration of Herbert
Hoover. his successor, left Washington
for their old home, in Northampton,
Mass, to occupy the same modest house
where they started life together in 1905,
when Mr.. Coolidge commenced his pub
lie career as city solicitor of that mu-
AS early as the Spring of 1927 there
was widespread opinion that If Mr.
Coolidge wished to be reelected he had
only to indicate it. BY his own con-
fession, this view was shared by MIR.
Coolidge himself, regardless of the pop
ular tradition that President must re-
tire after his second term.
In magazine article published after
his retirement Mr. Coolidge declared
he wanted TO retire for several reasons,
which he proceeded to enumerate.
Health First of All.
First Of all, there was his own health
and that Of Mrs. Coolidge.
1T is hazardous he wrote. "to at
tempt what we feel is beyond our
strength"
In addition, he considered it impos-
Slole for one man to serve successfully
