WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.— The
cold that has kept President Cool-
idge from his desk for two days
has not prevented him from keep-
ing up with, current topics and from
making known his views to news-
paper men, who were the first call-
ers received since he took to his bed.
The president walked from his
living quarters to his office late
yesterday and although troubled
with a sore throat, he talked to the
correspondents for 15 minutes. The
Italian debt situation and the pro-
posal that the government take over
and distribute stocks of bonded
medicinal liquor are two of the sub-
jects studied by the chief execu-
tive during his two dys of forced
idleness.
Mr. Coolidge agrees with Secre-
tary Mellon that It would be unwise
for the government to, assume own-
ership of the medicinal liquors as
suggested by Assistant Secretary
Andrews, in charge of prohibition
enforcement. Mr. Andrews holds
the opinion that such a step event-
ually must be taken to stop leaks
to the illicit trade.
The president hopes that the op-
position to acceptance of th** Italian
debt funding agreement now indi-
cated will not prevent ratification
by the senate. Should the agree-
ment be rejected, Mr. Coolidge be-
lives. Italy would be likely to con-
clude that it was not called upon :

in need of feed since the slower move-
ment of grain sorghum* to the southwest

grain to be purchased than normally.
Overly generous stocks of oats continue
to keep prices low, although the calls j
from feeders is decidedly more active and |

undertone to trading. Mill feeds are
