S. SENATE| Coolidge Upsets Predictions Despite Talk That There Will Be Bat- tle Agalnst Him Washington, Dee. 6 (P—President Coolidge upset the predictions of many on Capitol Hill today by send- ing lo, tha senate for conformation, the names of Koy O. West and Wii- liam ¥, Whiting, secretaries of the interior and commerce. When the president fafled to send these nomsnations up at the opening of congress therc was much coh- jecture as to whether he might al- Jow them to serve through the ree mainder of his term under the re- cess appointments given them dur- ing the summer, A fight on Mr. West has been forccast, based on the argument of some scnators that he had been connected with the Insull power in- terests and that a man from the far ‘west should have the joo. Mr. Coolidge, however, passed their names along to the senate to- day for what action that branch of congress may care to take—fight or no fight. There has been no out- spoken opposition to Mr. Whiting. An Indication that the fight might develop came as soon as the senate warned that the West nomination was before it. Chairman Nye of th2 public lands committce promptly announced that West would be ask- ed to appear before that committee to state any connections he may have with the Insull interests. “Certaln charges have been made,” Nye said. “I have no doubt that Mr, West can state his position very satistactorily in regard to these | charges of his connections with the power interests, but I think in view of the charges he should be glved an opportunity to speak.” Woman Guilty of Motor Vehicle Law Violation Tidgeport, Dec. 6 M—Mrs. Geor- gia Dandetzke, 38, of this city, was found gullty in criminal common pleas court today by Judge E.

It was claimed that on June 25 last on the Nichols road she struck and injured Avery T. Salter, a cripple, and con- “tinued on her way. The conviction of Mrs. Dandetzke in the city court was the first here whereby a woman was sentenced to jail for violation of the state motor laws, PEACE CO!

Editorial comment ‘on - President Coolidge's messige to eongress Tues- day: E New York World (deni.)—“The tone of the president's last message | to congress is as usual ‘one of exalt- ed confidence and undiluted satisfac- tion. There is no pause in Mr. | Coolidge’'s conviction that we have &rown rich and righteous under his | ‘careful administration of the federal 'guvernment.’ There will be many who will like these peans of self- prais There will be others who will fecl that when a nation has at- ned such importance as a world power the time is at hand for fts ! leaders to exhibit a little mere dig- nity and scif-restraint.” New York Times (Ind. dem.)— | “A common misfortune of presiden- tial annual messages is that they jtend to become a catch-gll. Being | that they often seem to catch noth- ing. ‘This is not true of the massage which President Coolidge sent to congress yesterday, though # does contain the al amount of rather dull detail in the way of comment upon the needs of the various de- partments of the government and upon routine policies, along with recommendations for legislation which congress may or may nét heed . on a happy state of affairs the president looks with complacent j satisfaction. It is like proneyncing the creation of his own hands very | 800d.” New York Herald Tribune (rep.) —*"President Coolidge's last annual message to congress strikes a note of justifiable optimism. His pdmin- | istration is drawing te a phenome- | nally successful close. 1ts aehieve- ments have been unique. Its poii- cies, overwhelmingly sustained in 1924, have been even meérs dramatic- ally indorsed in 1938. His pregram , of national economy and recemstruc- | Uon is to be continued.
