neighbors in Marlon and : started
for. Washington to take up' the
duties 6t the presidency ' ' " ; r'
Today, at the half way point of
his administration, his one regret
Is! that he never has found oppor
tunity to give personal attention
to! many of the administrative de
tails which have become a part of
the duties of his office. He feels
that congress constantly is making
the respohslbfllties of president
so; heavy that no. one ' man can
hdpe to keep abreast bt thein. ' J
Mr. Harding declined today to
make any further 'comment bn the
accomplishments and troubles of
his first two years .In the White
