FARM RELIEF
Republican Leaders Bolt Out
Of Line To Support Domestic
Allotment Plan.
BY WILLIAM +. KERRY
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. - A
serious split in Republican ranks
today substantially increased pros
pects for favorable house action on
the $1,000 100000 domestic allot-
ment plan of farm relief.
Democratic ranks were solidlfied
at the same time when President
elect Roosevelt assured party lead
ers in their New York conference
that the measure was entirely sat
isfactory to him.
Two prominent Republicans flout-
cd reported White House opposition
and endorsed the measure. They
were Representative Michener,
Michigan, assistant Republican
leader, and Representative Haugen,
Iowa, ranking party member on
the agriculture committee. Neith-
er embraced it with particular en-
thusiasm, but their adherence
cheered Democratic leaders who
have been plagued with a small
and wavering majority.
Michener, to the intense and vo-
cal disgust of his Republican COL
leagues, expressed the opinion that
as long as the bill was a "Roose-
velt measure" and would "undoubt-
edly" be passed at an extra ses-
sion, it would be we'll to send it
on its way at the present time.
Haugen favors virtually any type
, of farm relief to bring modicum
of prosperity to distressed agricul-
ture.
The disaffection of the two
prominent Republican leaders was
regarded by advocates of the
measure as a most hopeful sign.
They expect the magic of Roose-
velt's name to hold most Demo-
Gratis in line and if assured of the
aid of farm bloc" Republicans.
they see little to bar speedy house
passage.

COOLIDGE DOCTOR DEMANDS LESS
RIGOROUS LIFE FOR PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Up)-A
new campaign against the killing
pace American sets for it's presi-
dents began in Washington today.
The sudden death of Calvin
Coolidge revived the medical pro-
fession's demands that the Presi-
dent of the United States be shield
ed from the buffeting he gets dur

Colonel James F. Coupal, heart
broken over Mr.. Coolidge's death,
led the criticism on the present
system. Coupal was Mr.. Coolidge's
personal physician during the lat
ter's six years in the White House
"No nation In the world puts
such burden on its ruler as Am

nations have prime ministers or

of criticism directed toward the

injected into his resolution all the
spleen he has stored up against
Governor Rolph for months, and
all the innuendo he could voice."
Inman said he could not recon-

that "every member of his official
family is now lobbying against it

Today Anniversary
OF Teddy's Death

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 6.
W.P>-There was strange parallel
in the deaths of Calvin Coolidge
and Theodore Roosevelt. -c#
Roosevelt, Goth president of the
United States, died in his sleep
just IA years ago today Coolidge,
30th president, died alone yester-
day noon. Both had passed the
three-score mark in age.
There are those who claim that
the strain of the presidency is too
much for one man to bear. Un-
doubtedly it was the indirect cause
of Coolidge's death. The dynamic
Roosevelt, however, lost his health
in scientific expeditions to South
America.
Both advanced to the presidency
through death. Roosevelt ascend
ed through the assassination of
President Mckinley. Coolidge rose
to the greatest post of this coun-
try through the untimely death OF
President Harding. Both however,
we're later elected to the post
through their own efforts.
