') The fact that the former president was "not Insurable" was said today to be common knowledge among Insurance executives. It was said Coolldge applied for J200.000 worth of insurance within the last year and that he was down as a poor risk. The physical examination was reported as disclosing that his heart was weak. The cause of death In his North- tmpton home was subsequently given as coronary thrombosis, or bursting of an artery leading into the heart.

True to ills life-long reputation for keeping his own counsel, the silent man from the Vermont mountains apparently told neither relative nor friend of his precarious condition. In the general Insurance field, where executives and agents manage to maintain a fairly accurate grapevine of information as to tne amount of insurance leading Americans are carrying, there was only speculation on the value of policies Coolldge might have main' talned.

AMERICAN RADICALISM (Continued From Page One) -ed the move to let it go into the journal. Senator John J. McClure, Delaware, who a few minutes earlier completed a half hour's speech denouncing the governor, offered the motion that reference to Mrs. Pin, chot bf stricken from the record. Dauphin senator's tirade wgs the employment of a press representative in the governor's office at $5,000 a year and charged that employe, M.

H. James, was able to influence newspaper correspondents. The senator said he was told to expect two columns in a particulai newspaper after a certain speech but actually got only about ten lines because James went among newspapermen and told them "cut hell out of Reed." Reed declared that Ambrose Langan. mayor of Pittston, was listed on the payroll of the executive de, partment as an economy expert $6,000 a year and that he was actually at the Capitol only 63 days in a year. He introduced a resolution providing that a committee of seven senators be named to investigate tha governor's charges of extravagance against the legislature and of the general charges of extravagances in the executive departments.

The measuse was laid over for printing. It was Reed's second week in the Senate. He served two terms in the 'House but was absent from the ex' traordinary session of the assembly last summer because of illness which confined him to a sanitarium, Committee Assignments HARRISBURG, Jan. Significant changes in the chairman ships and personnel marked the list of Senate committees today. Senator Harry B.

Scott, Centre was renamed head of the important appropriations committee, but Sen ator William D. Mansfield, friendly to Governor Pinchot, lost the chairmanship of the education committee which during the present session wil handle amendments to the schoo code. Mansfield failed even to gain membership on the committee. The finance committee chairmanship, held two years ago by Senatoi Frank Baldwin, who was electee auditor general, went to Senator McClure, Delaware. Executive nominations, also held by Baldwin was given to Senator Chancey Parkinson.

Parkinson, however, was replacec as law and order chairman by Sen ator Joseph C. Trainer, Philadelphia.

Today it has- been estimated that each of us Americans has the equivalent of the abor of more than thirty slaves in he energy of steam, electricity, and nternal combustion engines. This age of men and machinery is something and different in the vorld's history. "Certain results are already apparent. Some are good and some not so good. It has made the world one leigtoborhood.

It has compelled the people to move into cities. Here in the United States almost two-thirds of our people live in cities. It has oosened family bonds and seriously affected the home life. It has made available to the average man necessities and comforts of life such as ic never had before in history. But at the same time it has decreased satisfaction in work and destroyed personal sense of achievement, 't has created a new ruling class.

It las produced a menacing problem of unemployment and given rise a new labor, movement. It has in- reased the chances of wars and their destructivity. Many fear that with the latest machines and methods of war civilization may destroy tself. The same machinery which makes possible more abundant life may make possible wholesale death. "The great problem today is little different from the class struggle of ages; namely, to recapture that equality which slavery destroyed.

In modern terms it may be stated thus: Tow to use men and machinery to inhance, to build up life, to conserve ts benefits for the many rather than few?

ABIJOTT INS Htaff Correspondent PAH IS, Jan. to bo drawn into what he termed American Senatorial "polemics," former Premier Pierre Laval today declined to comment on Secretary of State RUmson's letter denying any American commitments respecting war debts made during the Hoover-Lava! conference In He referred back to his statement to International News Service last Friday, at which time he strongly denied ever saying that President Hoover made no pledge of debt revision.

"I refuse to be drawn Into polemics in what I consider an Infernal discussion between members of the United States Senate," Laval said. I informed International News Service last Friday that I will explain my side of the discussions with President Hoover to the French Senate when the time comes. 1 have not changed my attitude since. "If anything is published purporting to come from mo regarding the conversations with Mr. Hoover, I deny it in advance, since shall have nothing to say until I appear before the Senate." In his interview last Friday, Laval declared he strongly upheld the action of the French Chamber of Deputies In voting for default of the war debt payment due to the United States on December 15.

mew almost nothing of unemployment as a social disease. Even in this most prosperous country of the world in its greatest period of prosperity some ten per cent of the workers were without jobs. One per cent of the receivers of income ob- 20 per cent of the national income; 10 per cent received 40 pel- cent of the total income, while the poorest 25 per cent received only 3 and 1-2 per cent. A system which cannot, even in its most prosperous period, provide men with the bread, the security, the peace, the freedom, the brotherhood they have a right to expect, is being challenged today. So capitalism is under fire.

"On the firing line opposed to capitalism are the following radical groups: 1. (a) Socialist, (b) Socialist- Labor. 2. Communist; (a) Orthodox or official group, controlled from Moscow, (b) Trotskyites. (c) Love- stoneites.

(d) Weisbrodians. (c) Proletarian. 3. I. W.

W. 4. Trade Union. 5. Single Taxers.

6. Anarchists. "All these groups have been greatly influenced by the principles of Karl Marx. Karl Marx is almost wise both the productive means and the product. The Socialists propose the sharing of the productive means.

"This is to be accomplished by a steady education and development and without violence if at all possible. Let us permit Norman Thomas to state the Socialist position. 'Socialists propose to bring about as rapidly as possible the social ownership of land, natural resources and the principal means of production, thereby abolishing the possibility of the existence of any class on an income derived not from work but from ownership. This does not necessarily mean that no man will have a home that he can call his own. His right will rest on use and not on a title deed.

The rental value of land belongs to society and not to the individual. Socialism would end the monstrous and absurd injustice under which generations of men and women can live in luxury without useful labor of any sort because they were wise enough to pick an ancestor who in his day had been clever enough to pick, let us say, a farm in New York City on or near which some six million people now have to live. This is a criticism not of individuals but of the social system which therefore we have collectively tolerated. Socialists unlike single taxers object not merely to economic dynasties founded on ownership of land and natural resources but to similar dynasties founded on the ownership of stocks and bonds passed from generation to generation by inheritance. They do not expect to abolisn them with the stroke of the pen or the sword.

They do not expect to abolish them at all without "On the subject of class struggle it is interesting to note this further statement of Norman Thomas: (we) hope that ancient despotisms of king and landlord can be abolished and the new order begun with a minimum of bloody only the workers are awake and organized so that they will not aid their masters to enslave them. This is not to say that the struggle can always be found by legalism or that Socialists are non- resistants who would never use force to win or still better to protect what they have won. We want to mini- niize violence and throw the onus of it, if it comes, where it belongs: on an owning class that will not give up while it can hypnotize anyone to fight in its behalf." "The principal means toy which the Socialists expect to make progress are: (again quoting Norman With Cakin Coolidge In The White House BY GEORGE E. DURNO (I. N.

"Economy" was the watchword of Calvin Coolidgo's administration. With single-minded determination, he strove constantly to effect reductions in the cost of government, sometimes in the face of more or less good-natured kidding about his methods. The former President had very well-defined views on the proper approach to true federal economy. It is recorded that shortly after he had relinquished the reins of office to President Hoover, his old friend, Frank W. Stearns, was joking with dim about some of the economies of Jie new Hoover administration.

"I see that President Hoover has gone you one better and abolished the White House stables," remarked Stearns. "The horses are Still eating government hay, aren't they?" rejoined Mr. Coolidge, mindful of the fact that the horses merely had been moved from the White House stables to Fort Meyer. Having always had to rely on his salary in his younger days, economy was nothing new to the New Englander. When he was Lieutenant overnor of Massachusetts, he used commute between Boston and his Northampton home, invariably riding in a day coach.

The Coolidges lived in a duplex house that rented for $35 a month. Mrs. Coolidge knitted all the stockings their two sons wore as young boys, and the home was on a budget. In the latter connection lies a story. One day a particularly glib book agent called at 21 Massasoit street peddling a book supposed to contain complete instructions for treating every ailment on record.

For once, Mrs. Coolidge was overwhelmed by a canvasser's arguments and bought the book. After the man had gone, she realized the money had come out of her weekly household budget. She decided against directly telling her husband of the purchase and instead left the book out on the living room table in a conspicuous place. Several days went by, however, and nothing was said on the sub- Joel.

Then one day Mrs. Coolldge Idly picked up the book. On the fly-leaf In Mr. Coolidgo's handwriting was the following: "1 find herein cures for all diseases known to man and beast but I flnd, no cure for In Decenvber, 1324, the then President essayed a bit of personal economy for the sake of the treasury. He was scheduled to go to Chicago to attend the Livestock Exposition.

When train arrangements were being made he noticed he was being charged 25 fares for his private car, although only ten persons would be accommodated. This charge Is required by regulation of the Interstate Commerce Commission, but Mr. Cool- ldge couldn't see the justice of pay- Ing two and half fares for everyone In his Immediate party. He announced to the astounded railroad men he Intended to make the trip by regular train. "Just give me a compartment for myself and Mrs.

Coolldge," he ordered. Secret service men were aghast, but the President's word was final and he and Mrs. Coolldge went west traveling "even as you and The Coolldge compartment was the first one In the observation car of a regular train running between Washington and Chicago. All other passengers aboard had the same right to the observation platform that he did and they scurried up and down the aisle all afternoon on that pretext, but really to get a glimpse of the Chief Executive. And what a glimpse they got! Leaving his door open for better ventilation, Mr.

Coolidge laid down on the long seat of the compartment with an old brown cap over his face to keep the light out of his eyes and napped "until dinner time. The meals on the trip were eaten in the diner with all the other travelers and the steward of that particular diner is not apt to forget the thirtieth president. Hovering solicitously over the Coolldge table, and rubbing his hands, the steward inquired: "Is the coffee all right. Mr. President?" Mr.

Coolidge gave him a calm and appraising look. "Did you expect something to be wrong with it?" he counter-quler- led. change in-contemporary society is bound to occur. Tne trend is certainly in the direction of more collectivism. "Looking into the future, you may choose your own philosophy.

There is the philosophy of Spengler which is that a process of decay of civilizations is inevitable and that in the present crisis of western civilization there is no hope of solution. There is no philosophy of Lenin which is the philosophy of salvation under the dictatorship of a working class party. There is the Christian philosophy which is the logical working but of the Gospel in the economic field. Its appeal is not directed so much to technique and tactics as to changing the minds and hearts of men. It would substitute the love of God for love of money and power, the service motive in the business of the world for the profit motive.

The attendance is very much better although not yet up to the high standard that is usually enjoyed. A survey of the tardy marks shows that the pupils have been very punctual this year. From tha beginning of school until the holidays one pupil out of every 500 was tardy each session. The Absence of Teachers The work of the Indiana Schools has been very free from interruptions on account of the absence of teachers. To date this year there have been 9 days of substitute work in the grades, five of which were for one and in the high school 17 days, ten of which were for one teacher outside of the extended absence of Miss Hersperger and Miss Thomas at the beginning of the term.

A survey of the substitute teachers available shows eight in tho grades, seven of which are married women and twelve in the high school, eight of which arc married women.

"KKILD JOCKEY" A SCARED YOUTH Spring Church Mystery Easily Explained when 19-Year-Old Confesses to Activities Under the "Moonshine." The "wild man" who rode a horso up and down the Church neighborhood, chased screaming school children, barricaded a teacher inside a school house and finally attempted suicide in Apollo jail, turned out to be a mild-looking, frightened country boy when he was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Fred Henry of Apollo. The 19-year-old brown-haired brown-eyed boy who, under the in- fluejice of "moon," became a figure of terror to school children and women, was held for court after the hearing before the justice. the charges against him were assault and battery and aggravated assault and battery, but it is understood these will be changed to something less serious later.

Teacher Testifies Frank N. Long, schoolmaster at the Clark school, where the activities of the "wildnorseman," Merwin Shellhammcr, aged 10, centered, was the principal witness against the youth. He told of how the young man, astride his bay horse, chased school children as they dismissed for the day, running his horse at them and slapping them with the reins. "He threatened to burn the school house down, and he tried to drive his horse inside. Myself and Jack Ament held the door shut.

While school was in session he rode around and around, yelling at the top of his voice." Jack Ament, the student who does the "chores" at the Clark school, testified that the "horseman" offered him and another boy, named Harold Beer, a drink. "Didn't Know Anything" Devona Rowan, a young woman who lives in the neighborhood, testified that she was returning from Kittanning in her automobile, and that when she passed the schoolhouse Merwin followed the car astride his horse, yelling and slapping" the reins on the roof.
