WASHINGTON. March 4. As if to prolong the agony of Congress, I'rerddtMit Coolidge delated signing the bill carrying increases of a year for senators and congressmen until two minntes of 13 o'clock today. Had be railed to sign it before 12 o'clock, the bill would have succumbed to a pocket veto. The President signed all other bills placed before him as he sat in the President's room near the Senate chamber.

When he came to the legislative bill at the bottom of the pile, he looked at it meditatively, stroked his chin, looked around at the cabinet standing nearby, returned his glance to the bill, drank two glasses of water, and finally, at the moment vhen it appeared that he intended to refuse approval to the pay increase, he picked up the pen. affixed his signature and then left the room. The bill entails an increase of nearly $1,500,000 a year in pay to Congress, and raises the pay of senators and congressmen from to $10,000 a year and that of Vice President, members of the cabinet and speakers from 12,500 to $15,000.

LVSK. (I'nited News Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, March 4.

An inauguration must disturb, to some extent, even the calm, well-ordered routine of Calvin Coolidge, most regular and even-tempered of Presidents. But not much. The daily walk, a family reunion in the quiet New England manner, routine meals at the White House the inauguration interrupted none of them. The ceremony attendant to induction into office required some out of the ordinary duties, of course, but they were carried through without a flutter, as though they were part of everyday life. Even the explosion of his Vice President failed to upset the President's outward calm.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL. One of the greatest days of his life, when he became President in his own right, was planned by. the President with an attention to detail that eliminated the unexpected. It was plotted to conserve time and save trouble, not only for those who officially but for those thousands of visitors who came to the Capitol. Mr.

Coolidge rose at 7:30. his usual hour. He was the first in the White House to get out of bed. He took his customary 20-minute walk. He ate his New England breakfast, wheat cakes and sa usages, the combination he learned to expect at his father's table on the family farm in the Vermont hill Throughout the day the schedule was maintained without a nitch.

Precisely at the time he expected to leave for the Capitol. Coolidge stepped into the car and the automobile swung down through the White House ground. At 1 o'clock he began his inaugural address, scheduled for that hour. STRANGE CONTRAST. From beginning to end it was manifestly Calvin Coolidge's inauguration in planning and execution.

But General Dawes furnished a succession of surprises and thrills that stirred senatorial ire. First, he read the riot act to the Senate on the necessity of revising its rules to outlaw the one-mjin filibuster. Then, instead of swearing in the new senators in fours, as was the time-honored custom, he ordered them brought up in a bunch to save time. Then he cut short the ceremony of senators signing the book, and finally, without any senator having made a motion to that effect, 'he announced that the deliberative would proceed to attend the inauguration of President Coolidge outside.

The Senate and its distinguished guests, thereupon trooped out to a vastly different scene on the east plaza, where thousands already 'were waiting to see the induction into office of Mr. Coolidge while millions more all over the nation waited at tuned-in radio sets to bear what he said. The calm, measured tones ot his inaugnral address were carried to the greatest audience ever addressed by any man.

And as his last words ended the brief, simple inauguration millions must have heard also the call- ing of the bugles to set in motion the short inaugural parade which wound up the-day. Back at the White House, under es cort of trotting cavalry troopers, the President and his guests took their places in a glass enclosed reviewing stand to see the passage of the score of governors who has places in the pageant, marching infantry, sailors and marines, the rumbling columns of artillery and a whole herd of squat battle tanks which had grumbled and rumbled their way up Pennsylvania avenue in a steady thunder.
