President Coolidge l.s con cerneil chiefly with having a confer ence held that given pi-oinic of result nml does not care iiarticulaiiy where It 1h held or. who culls It. Comment was withheld at" the White House today on the announced Intention of Premier. Pulnleve of France to urge the League of Nations to sponsor another conference as soon as the security problem Is settled. President Coolidge takes the posi tion mill 11 nuuiti iiv m mimic no j htm to discuss this possibility though it was made clear that lie does not want the United States to Inerfere in any way with action by European ' nations. SWAMPfSCOTT. Mass.. Sept. S. Although President Coolidge expects ( his agriculture commission to convene . to complete its survoy and make ' recommendations to congress, this . courso probably will be pursued only ; ' in the event Secretary of Agriculturo .Inrdine approves. -Mr. Coolidge lias no Information as to the views of Secretary Jardine. but he expects to confer wiih liim late In the week. The president has suggest ed to Chairman Carey of the commit tee that; he get in touch .direetlywlt.h Mr. .Iardine...iir. Ooolidge llilnks'that the conference should re-axelnble and have it rinal report ready for con gress by Thanksgiving. -. The conference before the close of the CSlh congress In .March submit ted preliminary findings, chiefly rec ommendations for oo-operative mar keting legislation. President Coolidge Is hopeful that at tho congressional session a public buildings bill may be reported, though he Is mindful there may he opposition from some sources if provision is not made fur new structures In their dis tricts and states. The president is particularly impressed with the neces sity of providing additional public buildings in the District of Columbia to house activities now taken care of in rented quarters, lie believes It an investment to cut down on rent by providing permanent buildings. 'The pork barrel" tendency. Sir. Coolidge believes. Is apt to crop out In congress, working to the disadvantage of a bill designed to remedy condi tions in the District of Columbia or any measure making a lump sum ap propriation. A' lump sum bill wns passed by tho house In the last session which Mr. Coolidge, It was said toduy, would have approved,, had the senate passed it. The world court proposal Is gaining strength, the president believes and is confident that affirmative action by the senate on a resolution of adher ence will be obtained during the De cember session.

There was little confusion Inciden tal to many pupils being transferred, in an effort to equalize the crowded conditions, from one school building llllllll!, 1 to another In a number of cases a long ' distance from home.
