As 1S customary, the President is to-present the diplomas. As a part of the plot of a motion picture in process of production at Annapolis with the consent of the Navy De- partment, it has been planned to have Ramon Navarro, the actor, take a place in the line of Academy graduates and receive from the hands of Mr. Coolidge a dummy diploma.

CANDIDATES Delano Believed Ineligible by Reassh of His Residence. President Coolidge today devoted his attention to filling the vacanecy caused by the recent death of Commis- sioner Oyster. He carefully went through the various papers concerning | the score or more of candidates for | this office and then began upon a process of elimination. In other words, the President put aside papers relating to four or five men, for fur- ther consideration, the remainder be- ing thrown fnto discard. According to 2 White House auth ity, President Coolidge has not yel made up his mind regarding the ap- pointment, although it is thought he will do so’ shortly and that the selec- tion will be made known early next week. President Interviewed. The President held several informal interviews today regarding pointment, one of them being with Samuel J. Prescott, chairman of the Republican State committee of the Dis. trict, the accredited Republican or- ganization here.

Mr. Prescott said, however, he felt positive the President had not' vet made up his mind. but that he will do so without much ion is gaining by those who have discussed the matter with the President vesterday and today that, while he personally favored the appointment of Frederic transportation expert and former member of the Federal Reserve Board, he has come to the conclusion thal Mr. Delano is not qualified becausc he was a legal resident of Chicago up until two vears ago. The law gov. erning the qualifications of appoint- ments to this board requires a three- vear citizenship in the District prior to appointment. That the President wanted Mr. Delano was made further evident when the White House an- nounced yesterday that the Attorney General had been requested by the President to pass uponthe legal issue favolved.
