Will Coolidge Sip Wine in Cuba at Havana Dinner
The question of President Coolidge drinking wine at President Machado’s Havana dinner next week sparked speculation in Washington. Some wager two to one he will refuse due to teetotaler principles, while etiquette experts say he should partake as host country custom. Gordon Hinckley, national secretary of the anti prohibition group, argues refusal would be discourteous, noting he may sip wine unless truly discouraged. The Anti-Saloon League declined to comment.
