b. M. DIESEL MOVE STIRS DISCUSSION Use of Crude Oil in Privately Owned Passenger Cars Now Question. By the Assoctated Press. DETROIT, May 15.—General Mo- tors' announcement of the establish- ment of a Diesel engine division has atarted speculation anew concerning the possible adaptation of the crude oil burning power plant to privately- owned passenger cars on a commercial basis. Virtually every development thus far perfected in this type of power plant will be represented basically, in in the line of engines to be produced in the new division. Of the Winton Diesel design developed by General Motors, they will range from 20-horse power single cylinder units up to 160- horse power six-cylinder type. Gas Engine Not Threatened. An interesting fact in connection Wwith the decision of the corporation to enlarge its Diesel manufacturing fa- cilities is that many of its own engi- neers have taken considerable pains to explain why the future of the con- ventlonal gasoline engine is not threatened immediately by research into Diesel possibilities. None of the engineers will deny the time will come when this type of motor will be adapted to individually- owned passenger cars and probably prove as satisfactory as any engine Now being manufactured. They point out, however, that the field at present for crude oil engines is in stationary work, or marine and commercial ve- hicle use. In other words, they say, Diesel is a “heavy duty” job at present. Tremendous strides have been made in reducing the weight of the cylinder blocks of the Diesel-type motors, and there are many who hold that the fuel injector devices used on them have distinct advantages over the conven- tional carburetion principles. Replacement Problem Obstacle. ‘The replacement problem, the en- gineers say, will be the big obstacle once the orude oil engine is adapted commercially to privately owned cars. With more than 20,000,000 gasoline- powered passenger units currently in operation by owners who believe their vehicles have an asset value regard- less of how old these cars may be, substitution of petroleum-driven cars assumes sizeable proportions, the en- gineers explain. Nevertheless, experimental with Diesel-type engines light enough to be practicable for passenger cars is not lagging. Many experimental road tests have been made to establish the feasibility of this design of power plant in an individually-owned vehicle and many more are looked for as part of the routine work of the new General Motors division.

C,. MAY .16, 1937—PART ONE. Ex-Senators and Officials Find Capital Good Business Spot WALTERLIPPMANN FLAYS PRESIDENT Tells Harvard Gathering Suspicion, Distrust, Irrec- oncilability Are Creed. BY the Assoclated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, May 15—Walter Lippmann, newspaper columnist, told more than 300 Harvard alumni here | today President Roosevelt “is our most work | powerful alumnus,” but he flayed the President for “making an official creed out of suspicion, distrust and irrecon- ciliability.” ‘The Harvard graduates, representing all parts of the country, participated in the fortieth anniversary celebration of the associated Harvard clubs. The program ends tomorrow. Lippmann said, “I wish he (the President) could find it in his heart to forgive his enemies and to show some cordiality to those who, though they may differ with him on this or that, respect his office and wish him well. Spirit of Class Warfare. “I do not think that the spirit of class warfare should receive even faint encouragement from the seat of Gov- | ernment, for once unleashed that spirit will go far beyond the passing con- veniences of partisan politics.” James M. Landis, Harvard Law School dean, told the graduates “law has assumed a social aspect it did | not possess when its opemnon ‘\nsl limited to the police power.” He pointed out a law school cur- riculum revision will emphasize the new activities of an attorney. Mackey Wells a Speaker. Other speakers included Mukey‘ Wells of Milwaukee, president of the Associated Clubs, and Prof. F. W.| Taussig, president of the Harvard | Alumni Association. President James Bryant Conant of Harvard spoke. He said the univer- sity is experimenting in an ‘“extra curricular” education as a means of meeting a criticism that college grad- uates have no capacity to continue to grow intellectually and spiritually after completing their regular college courses, He said a reading list will be pub- lished aoon to guide students’ reading and that an optional examination will be offered to test the students’ mas- tery of the subject. PAROLE BOND URGED Florida Legislator Would Make Ex-Convicts Responsible for Acts. TALLAHASSEE, Fla.,, May 15 (#).— Representative Sheldon asked the Leg- islature today to require paroled and pardoned convicts to post bond to pro- tect “any member of society” they might injure in his person or prop- erty. Sheldon proposed a bond of $1,000 for each year of sentence, running for a period of time equal to the prisoner’s term. S AR T »-Special Offer’ reading and distance.

President’s plan will be even larger in | the committee, 11 to 7, or even 12 to 6. | There has been considerable dis- cussion as to whether the committee shall vote first on the original bill, and then on amendments. This is| contrary to the regular parliamentary | procedure. It is the general prac- tice to vote first on amendments and substitutes, in an effort to perfect a bill before reaching a vote on it. Members of the committee said yes- terday it would take unanimous con- sent to reverse this procedure and vote first on the bill. Whether this could be obtained was doubtful. Now that the “no compromise” edict has come | from the White House, it seems less likely than ever that the bill will be amended in the committee. Many of the opponents of the bill are anxious that the measure should be reported to the Senate without change, be- lieving that it would be more vul- | nerable and easier to defeat in its original form. Rumor of Retirements. A report circulated at the Capitol | yesterday to the effect that three | members of the Supreme Court would | retire under the provisions of the new voluntary retirement act, if President Roosevelt would drop his plan to in- | crease the court by six. The justices mentioned were Associate Justices Brandeis, Van Devanter and Suther- | land. Some opponents of the court bill, however, took no stock in the re- port. One of them declared he con- sidered the circulation of such reports s great injustice to the members of the court. None of the justices, he insisted, would enter into any such deal. He added that for some time | Justice Van Devanter had been de- | sirous of retiring from the bench— he is now 77 years old—but that un- doubtedly this conflict over the court had delayed his doing s0. If there is any retirement at any early date, it was said in other quarters, it would vanter.

Senator Johnson, Republican, of Cali- the voluntary retirement bill for Su- preme Court justices was under con- sideration, sharply remarked that he | did not believe any justice would avail himself of the privilege accorded while the President was engaged in trying to put through his plan for the court. And Johnson added he would have no respect for any justice who did retire under such circumstances. The suggestion emanating from Postmaster General Farley that the President would be able to persuade, by one means or another, Senators who have been inclined to vote against the court program to change their po- sitions brought some measure of re- sentment yesterday. The fight over | the court bill is plainly growing in Stand of Copeland. Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New York, who has been an opponent | of the bill for weeks, issued a state- ment last night in which he said: “I am not answerable to Jim Farley for my conscience, thank God. And right now my conscience is perfectly clear. “Compromise {s & double-edged sword, because there will be no com- promise on our side. This is & mat- ter of principle with so large a group of Senators that it is impossible for Its defeat | is inevitable. “I don't say this to be disagreeable, but all of us who are interested in the fornia, weeks ago in the Senate, when | | months, the justices would retire “under fire.” | the bill is not going to pass while from 40 to 50 men in the Senate are against it The prospect for an early adjourn- mem of Congress, in the light of the “no compromise” attitude of the Pres- ident, appeared very dim last night. | If the contest continues for weeks and | some kind of compromise yet may be worked out to which the White House will agree, it was sug- gested. One situation might develop | which would bring a comparatively | early disposition of the court bill. If the opponents are firmly convinced , | they have a majority against the bill in the Senate and all compromises and ! amendments are turned down, they may permit & vote. In that situation, the administration leaders will have to decide whether they wish an early vote. —_— Skunk Attends Club Meeting. OTTAWA, Kans.

Reviewing the successful fight of friends of the law to establish its con- stitutionality, Fahy declared it un- thinkable that industry should not now accept it. That some employers, however, are receiving advice as to means of evasion is still & fact, he continued: “It is somewhat disturbing,” Fahy said, “to notice that employers are still receiving from certain sources inaccurate advice as to the statute. | They were badly advised once before a8 to its constitutionality. That ques- tion has been settled, and it is rather curious that there is now a notable amount of misleading information be- ing disseminated as to methods of evading the act and as to possible gaps in it. I say that this is ill advised and misleading, because the statute is not an easy one to evade. While it | is very moderate, in that it affords | legal protection only to fundamental rights or liberties, the protection of the rights and liberties is afforded in generous measure. The prohibitions against interference, influence and corecion of employes in their rights | of self-organization and collective bar- | gaining are framed in very general language and cover all types of such interference, influence and coercion “It is a very simple matter for em- | ployers to refrain from such interfer- | ence, influence or coercion. It is not | & simple matter to endeavor to exert The such interference, influence and coer- cion and escape the act, and if some of the methods which some employers seem to be devising to accomplish this are carried out, they will unquestion- ably find that neither the board nor the courts will tolerate such conduct, however subtle. Nor should employers readily accept advice as to this statute without giving consideration to pre- vious board and court decisions under it, defining what the act prohibits and what it permits, “The most authoritative sources for the guidance of employers are not agencies disseminating half-baked in- formation about the act, or circulare izing employers who, they think, dea, sire to scuttle the law of the United States. The body of decisions ren- dered by the board, and the court de= cisions thus far rendered should be the source material of those interested in the problems which it seeks to solve.” CHIROPRACTORS NAME DR.
