Coolidge every day from February
to June without a word Of reply
while others had begun active cam
paigning.
Within an hour after the legis-
lative session closed, Mr.. Coolidge
handed to Mr.. Stearns a slip of
paper on which was penciled: Il
am a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Lieutenant Gov

His hackers pointed out that by
delaying his announcement he had

WPA Can't Alter
Amounts OF Pay

, WASHINGTON, July Is. -
[ President Roosevelt said today
that he does not believe Work
Projects Administrator F. c. Har-
rington has discretionary author
ity to substitute prevailing wage
scales for so-called security wag-
es, move demanded by about
$4,000 striking WPA workers.
He said at his bi-weekly press
conference that he has received
no judicial Interpretation of the
point but he thinks as a layman
that the $1,75O,6OO,OOO WPA act
establishing security wages
makes it perfectly clear that
the WPA administrator has no
power to alter the controversial
wage provision.
Senator James F. Murray Cd,
Mont, leader of Senate forces
seeking restoration of prevailing
wages, under which skilled WPA
workers received as much mo-
,ney for SIS hours if work as they
do under the substituted sche-
dulles, previously expressed the
belief that the WPA chief, at Mr..
Roosevelt's direction, could or
der the change.
