Hughes | #nd Kellogg. Mr. Stimson took on a | Bismarckian attitude of the press be Gamned. - Amegrican correspondents, 2o it, got their news from the Brit- | ish, French, Italian and Japanese government delegates. They could | find out what the American delega- + tion was attempting only by con- ferring with the gentlemen repre- | senting the other governments, or| by obtaining their news from the| press representatives of European newspapers, who sympathized with | the American journalists. | Toward the last Mr. Stimson, not- | ing that his “control” of the Ameri- | can journalists was a dream, invited | some of them to luncheon, but the plan at social control did not work. The net result of the Stimsonian dactics was that the American pub- | lic suffered in valuing the “achieve- ments” of the London conference. Confusion in connection with the | reports resulted in boredom and a| lack of interest. ! Ultimately Messr Robinson broke awa sonian model of re-war secrecy and spoke of the situation on their own | Tesponsibility. On the way home from the confer- erce Secretary Stimson Allowed him- | selt to be interviewed on shipboard | through the medium of the wireless | telephone from London. The idea, it appears, was more to call attention to the efficiency of the wircless tele- phone than to say anything startling | ebout the conference results, | He expessed the hope that the re- sults achieved at London would be the “leaven” for future conferences. At Geneva in 1927, he declared, nothing was signed, but the “leaven” | from the conference had the result of attaining something moré definite | in the 1930 London conference. What he neglected to say was that | the “leaven” was not entirely some- thing intrinsically due to the con- fercnces, but was due to public| opinion in the nations, which forced their governmental officials to come to the agreements as outlined. Right now the “leaven” of public | opinion is in advance of the accom- plishments at London. The confer- ences have lagged behind pubiic opinion from the time they becama | aninternational habit.

Stevens of the army air corps will attempt to photo- graph the moon’s 3,000 foot shadow as it sweeps across the Sierras next Monday during the solar eclipse, was being carefully groomed at Rockwell field today. The plane will be taken to Honey Lake, Caifornia, where the attempt to photograph the shadow will take place. oy Lieut. John D. Corkillo, who, like Captain Stevens, is from Wright field, Dayton, Ohio, will pilot the plane. ’rl'xcy will be accompanied by a civilian scientist from the Bell Telephone company's laboratory. The moon's shadow, moving af a speed of 1,800 miles an hour—will be only 3,000 feet in diameter, and the period of totality will be only a second and a half. The path of totality starts about 300 miles out at sea, and sweeps eastward just north of San Irancisco. Totality will occur at approxi- mately 11 a. m,, Pacific standard time. The plane will be obliged to make a turn of 180 degrees in 20 seconds, Captain Stevens declares, in order to carry out its work success- fully. While the photographer is at work, at an altitude of 20,000 feet, other photographers on the ground will attempt to photograph the sunfs corona. Four other planes also will be in use at the time, as the Lick observatory has also appealed to the air corps for assistance at an altitude of about 15,000 feet.
