COOLIDGE GIVES HIS VIEWS IN LATE INTERVIEW ‘Don't Want Them to Think I’m Trying to Run Things,’ He Said. (Continued From Page One) other recommendations for projects which would cost money. "I should think it mieht hr possible to raise more monev through voluntary taxes if you tax things, a person ran use or do without then 'he tax becomes voluntary. Most people think gasoline and automobile taxes arc a pood thing because in th it sense they arc voluntary His Views on l'engross ' If every one will iu>' mind his own hu'-'r.ess and *n to help the other fellow some, wr will get along, he predicted He a.-keri about Vice-President Curtis and spoke the latter's help in the senate on n• > >d legislation. "I always found there was no use becoming exr;:d nwr something congress did I found that 1* was often better not to say what I wanted, because, if I did. someone immediately would decide to vote the other way. whereas, if I kept still. T would get a few of their votes.” We talked of Premier I .aval's visit to President Hoover and the apparent agreement to handle reparations within the framework of the Young plan instead of outside, as in the case of the moratorium. Discusses Secretaries “It would seem the best plan to handle a matter of that kind in the regular way instead of doing it some other way. When there is something to be done, it is a good thing to look at the Constitution and the laws and see what is called for and do it.” We discussed White House secreteries, Mr. Coolidge’s plan for a single secretary and Mr. Hoover's liking for several. ‘ One person ought to know what is going on even if he can’t do everything. The secret is in having ppople do the things they know about. If we had to stop and think every lime we did a thing, we wouldn't live twenty-four hours.” Thumbs Down on Interview's T (old the former President his popularity seemed to grow' rather than diminish, and his dryly put : reply was that “when I was down i t here a good many people thought I my administration was not all that i it should be.” Twire he refused my request, to quote him then on the subjects he ! had discussed. ‘‘l deeidrd when T returned to Northampton not to give interviews. It would look as though 1 was trying to run the country. “I once thought of traveling, but it is very difficult for mo to do it. If I go to a dinner I either have to make a speech or listen to speeches about, myself .all evening. Always in (he Way Now “I couldn't go to Europe without accepting honors and seeing people. I know’ that when I was in Washington I would not have wanted an ex-President poking around Europe. I had enough trouble with volunteer diplomats as it was. They talked about knowing what the facts were.’’ “Do you expect,” I asked, “to go to the Republican national convention as a delegate?” ‘‘No. I would only be in the way. I seem to be always in the way now. * $350 IN RINGS STOLEN Taken From Washroom of Downtown Store, Police Are Told.

THIRTY DAYS OF MOURNING FOR EX-PRESIDENT Hoover Will Leave Capital Tonight for Coolidge Funeral. (Continued From Page One) Slowly he walked to his office. Quickly he issues orders for official mourning, and dispatched his chief military and naval aids to Northampton to assist in funeral arrangements. Telephone buzzed. Clerks hurried. The flag over the White House fluttered to half staff. Photographers rushed to take pictures of it. Tapping of typewriters broke the rush in the executive office. President' and Mrs. Hoover sent a personal message of condolence to Mrs. Coolidge. They refrained from announcing it. Word came from Northampton that it had been sent. Writes Proclamation The President dictated steadily. In quick succession he wrote a message to congress and an official proclamation. “His i Mr. Coolidge's) was a high contribution to the welfare of mankind,” said the President in a fiftyword eulogy to the legislators. The house adjourned as soon as the President's message was read. The senate earlier had cut short a tumultous debate. The proclamation, which will be engrossed and bordered in black, ordered a month of mourning. It sketched briefly Mr. Coolidge’s meteoric rise. It told of the affection he held in the minds of the American people. In a four-line character sketch of Mr, Coolidge it said: “His name had become in his own lifetime a synonym for sagacity and wisdom, and his temperateness in speech and his orderly deliberation in action bespoke the profound sense of the public business.” Closest to Coolidge President Hoover had attended the funerals of President Taft, Wilson and Harding, but to none of them had he been as close as to Mr. Coolidge. in whose cabinet he had served. Mr. Hoover's heart-felt sadness was apparent as he conferred with cabinet members, with secret service men and with other close friends of them both. Night fell before he had finished. When he left at last for his living quarters, a final scrap of conversation between two White House police echoed through the deserted executive offices: “And the story I like best about Mr. Coolidge was when his wife asked him what the sermon was about, and he said ‘Sin.’ Mrs. Coolidge asked him what the minister had to say about sin. And Mr. Coolidep said right back, ’Why, he was against it.'”

Brown I immediately, although I knew he was dead. I thought Dr. Brown would know what to do. He said Mr. Coolidge undoubtedly had died Irom heart disease." [ In recent weeks, Ross said, Mr.

Coolidge had complained of indigestion. Dr. Brown declared it probable that this was one of the ordinary symptoms of heart disease.

On one of his several departures from the room while chatting with Ross. Mr. Coolidge had looked at a jig-saw puzzle which a game manufacturer had given him as a NewYear's present. His name was pan, of the puzzle and the general subject, a study of George Washington, had pieces cut out to resemble elephants and other Republican symbols. “Mrs. Coolidge took it very bravely,” Ross said. “She asked that everything about the funeral be as simple as Mr. Coolidge's life. He will be buried beside his father, that is as she though he would have wished it. although I believe they never had discussed it. “There had been no special observance of Mrs. Coolidge's birthday on Monday. In fact, I did not know it was her birthday until someone phoned me about it.” John Coolidge, only living son of ! the former President, arrived early Thursday night with his wife. 1 daughter of the former Governor
