Capitol Asks If President,
 Buffeted by tue Opposition,
 WiUDrOp Whirl,uind Attack
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

There are growing signs that, from the stan d DO mt of political strategy alone, the Roosevelt Ad- ministration has arrived at de- cisive moment.
 Faced for the first time with stern opposition on many sides, the President must choose between two vastly different emthods Of com bat. He can go on with the ''whirl- wind" style of campaign, piling at tack on attack, or he can withdraw to new ground, reform his lines and seek to outwit the enemy by guile and deliberation. Much may depend on his decision.
 On March 4, 1883, MT. Roose- velt assumed his new duties with a stroke of bold leadership which won him international admiration.

61O-FOOT NAVY CRUISER WILL
 VISIT JUNEAU
New Advices Indicate Serv- ice. Ships Here from
 July lo to 30

Two new and highly important details in connection with the ap- preaching v.sit of portion of the Scouting Force of the United States Navy to Gastineau Channel were disclosed today. They are:
 I. The U. s. S. Indianapolis, 6l0 'eet long and one of the Navys newest and finest heavy battle ,ruisers. will visit Juneau's har- sor between the forenoon of Fri lay, July l9, and Monday, July 22.
 3. According to Vice Admiral A.. T. Hepburn, commander of the ;couting Force, it is the Navy's in ,ention to have either 9 cruiser or .l destroyer, singly or in pairs, ,erthed continuously at Ju u rom July 19 to July 30' /
 Committee Plans
 Both items were released by Chairman A. B. Phillips of the Chamber of Commerce Navy wei ome committee, when that body met and arranged a tentative pro ram of entertainment at the Cas- tineau Cafe this noon.
 The coming of the Indianapolis assures this port of visits from at least two of the Navy's larger-type vessels, in addition to intermittent lsIts of nine destroyers during the l2-day period Yesterday it was an- bounced that the U. s. s. Detroit, j55 feet in length and light cruis- er, would call here from July l9 to July 22
 Today's telegram from Vice Ad- .lniral Hepburn indicates, then, that over this weekend Juneau will be 1ost to two of the largest vessels ever to enter it's harbor. The In- Annapolis is 6l0 feet long, 66 feet in breadth, and has draft of P feet. The Detroit is 555 feet long, 55 feet in breadth and has a draft of 20 feet inches.
 1,26O Men Coming
 Approximately 1,260 Navy men will be in port over the weekend on the two cruisers. The Indianapo- lis will bring a complement of 63 commissioned officers and 700 en- listed men; the Detroit will have 39 commissioner officers and 455 en- listed men aboard.
 This visit will precede destroyer salls announced ye sterday. One group of four destroyers is sched- uled to arrive here July 24 and to leave July 26; another group is due to make port on July 26 and to leave July 28.
 However, Vice Admiral Hepburn's telegram to Chairman Phillips in- dicated today that the city would be visited continuously by some form of Navy craft from July l9 to July 30. In addition, his message said, We look forward to our visit with the greatest pleasure.
 Program Considered
 While the Chambers welc o m e committee did not attempt to ar range a complete program for the entire Navy visit, seven-point tentative program of entertainment

MESSENGER BOY
STRIKE DENIED.

There was no strike among
Western Union messenger boys to-
day, Notwithstanding rumors to
the contrary.
Local officials Of the company
scoffed at the idea, and denied a
report that police had been called
out to prevent an outbreak.
They were reluctant to admit
that there were any grounds what
ever for the rumor, but ultimately
explained that they had inadvert-
emily hired a ''parlor pink" among
extra messenger boys, taken on
during the rush of the ShrinerS
convention.
It seems that one of the boys,
no longer hired, passed out
sheets among his fellow workers
demanding a base pay of $25 a
week. The movement died
a-borning.
Now the Shriners are gone.
So is the propaganda. A solitary
policeman, invited into the main
office, has gone back to his regu-
lar beat.

Ken Murray
Says:

The President certainly took
most of Huey Longs campaign
ammunition away when he pro-
posed his new "sOak-the-rich"
tax plan. Well, if Huey fig
ured that idea was worth its
weight in gold, he now knows
what it feels like to share the
wealth.
Mr.. Roosevelt plans to break
up vast fortunes by putting q
heavy tax on inheritance. And
even if the heirs complain they
should know a half q loaf is
better than working every day.
OF course, most of us are
pleased that the Government
has at last found another way
to raise money. Usually,
new source of revenue simply
means tapping the old tax
payers in a new place.

Now, where there's a will. ;.
there will soon be a tax col.

P;,-T.A. DISPUTE
PLACED BEFORE
SCHOOL BOARD
Prince Georges Group Asked
to Decide Controversy Over
Election of Officers

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, June
25.-The Prince Georges county
board of education was today
asked to arbitrate the factional
fight that threatens to split the
county Parent-Teacher Fedora
ton.
The fight began when Shirley
Seward, now of Washington,
questioned the legality of the an
nual election last month, on the
ground that nonmembers had
voted and been elected to office.
In his letter to the board of
education, Mr.. Seward suggested
that former President Louis A.
Day. of Rogers Heights, call a
meeting of the II member schools
and elect officers legally. The
new officers, DR.. r. C. Wiley,
president; Mrs. M. E. AGREE, vice
president; Mrs. c. E. James and
E. j. Carman, secretaries, and
Mrs. Ellen S. Miller, treasurer,
are illegally in office. Mr.. Seward
declared.
Any meeting of these "officers'
is illegal and fraudulent, and
any resolutions or motions adopted
by the federation are of no force"
Mr.. Seward declared, adding:
''If Mr.. Day or the executive
committee are acquieScent and
wish to let things slide along any
old way; if the prestige of office
means so much to the new of.
ficers' that they prefer to serve
under the dark cloud of doubt
and suspicion: if Mr.. Day and
Treasurer william DOckendorf
are willing to turn the treasury
funds over to unauthorized per
sons and shoulder the risks in
vOlved; and if the members are
willing to contribute an ample
supply Of SawduSt; then, from a
practical standpoint, the Organi.
zatiOn, or disOrganizatiOn, may
bump along as a kind of a three
ring circus"
The board Of education received
the Seward letter today as it be-
gan regular business meeting to
authorize the sale of a $165, 900
bond issue to private investors,
the funds to be used for four new
school buildings.

Reporter Finds White House
Culinary Statistics Are
Nobody'S Business

What does the presidential fam
lily eat in the summer season?
And how much?
Who supplies the food?
How many dozen eggs are de-
livered to the White House each
week? And how much beef, let.
tuce and fish?
Under the Roosevelt regime,
to start out after the answers to
these questions is to embark on
an adventure worthy of the early
pioneers. It is a long, long trail.
First, you go to the 'front.'
we'll, perhaps it's the back-door
of the White House. You are re-
ceived by Ray Muir, an excellent
receiver. You are told that per.
mission to garner those culinary
statistics must come from one Of
the several White House secre-
tarieS.
Whose Business?
Next you go to the executive
offices. The secretary to- whom
you are referred is irritated. 1t
seems, too, that the President is
irritated.
Whose business is it, anyway?
Who but the President and his
family has the right to know what
they eat?
Well, you think of the famous
Coolidge breakfasts, many times
described in delicious detail. You
think of Will Rogers Coolidge
story-"Same old fish"
You think of the steaks, chops
and eggs consumed by President
Taft. And the. publicity that att
tended their consumption.
You think of the dishes favored
by Presidents Wilson, Harding
and Hoover.
But the Secretary is adamant.
So you ease yourself out and do
some pick-and-shovel work in an
effort to learn what and how
much the White House eats in the
reign of Roosevelt the Second.
Well
Statistics? No!
You learn that a hotel supply
company in Washington supplies
the meat. How many pounds?
Or tons? Per week? Per month?
Oh
you'll have to see the White
House about that"
You learn that a dairy over in
Virginia furnishes the milk and
eggs and butter. But statistics?
Perish the thought!
you'll have to see Mrs. Mes
Bit"

keeper of the White House)

Serious Breach Over Parade
instructions Averted by Ac-
ton of Vets Leader

The dove Of peace today re-
turned to the supposedly strife.
torn ranks of the American Legion
and the Veterans of Foreign Wars
in Washington.
With Nathan D. Golden, depart
ment commander of the V. F. W.,
making formal apology for an lad.
monition" given his members
which the American Legion con-
sidered an affront-it was agreed
to let the matter drop.
Serious Breach Averted
The incident, which resulted in
a number of Legion posts with
drawing from their planned par
ticipation in the v. F. w. parade
in the Southwest section last
night as the opening event of the
annual District department en-
campment, threatened to develop
into a serious breach between the
two veterans organizations.
Urging the v. F. w. members to
conduct themselves as gentlemen,
Commander Golden sent out an
order to all delegates and post
commanders containing the fol-
lowing paragraph:
Another local veterans or
ganlZatiOn was refused a return
sponsorship by the Business
Mems Association only a few
nights ago because of their de-
pertinent during their encamp-
ment in that section of town

your duty to instruct your mem.
berShip respecting their con.
duct. Let each one of us act
as an effective M. p. military
police to keep the other fellow
on good behavior"
LEGION INDIGNANT
When Legion officials heard of
this they were indignant. A
spokesman for the Legion said
To-Day:
while it did not refer spe-
Critically to the Legion, there was
no other organization it could
mean.
"The Legion had not been in.
vited as a department to par
ticipate in the parade, but each
post had been invited individu-
ally.
Word of this letter was sent
to each of our post command.
ers, with instructions to do as
they saw fit, but that if we were
not wanted in that section of
the city, it would be best to re.
main away.
1--WE considered the letter an
affrOnt to our organization, espe-
cially as our last convention in
the Southwest was held with
decOrum and there were no un-
toward events"
GOLDEN APOLOGIES
On June %, after the Legion
posts had been so informed, Com.
mander Golden sent out another
order to his posts, saying:
ut has come to my notice
that have been miSinfOrmed as
to the statements made, and 1
hereby wish to withdraw same,
and to extend my apologies to
all concerned or who may feel
injured thereby.

old enemy's shoulder and said:

Senator Robinson said:

Huey laughed and returned to
his seat.
AS the reading of the message
progressed and "Tax-the-Rich"
came near being "Soak-the-
Rich" Huey arose again and
went to Senator Robinson. With
his arm once more across the
shoulder of the gentleman from
Arkansas, he asked:
Flows it going, now, Sena-

Joe Robinson stiffened and
said:
"Quit 1t! Or I'll black BOTH
your eyeS!"
He laughed until he could
barely stand.
Speaking of Huey, although
he does put on the best
floor show in the Senate, it
wouldn't have been expected
that he star in the Ewing

Yet, looking over the shoulder
OF a very young reporter, we
noticed that the only marks on
