 Washington newspaper correspondent, wrtil this phase of the situation, says.
 President Harding, himself a newspaper man, is afraid of the newspapers. That is the reason he has revamped plans for his Western trip and intends to make at least half of it water.
 MT. Harding is not afraid of having the newspapers carry a complete and faithful report of what he does, where he goes and what he says. He wants the country to know about that, and when he speaks on a public question, he is glad have his views given the widest publicity.
 He is afraid, however, of having the straight news of his trip interpreted" by special writers and others, so that the jour ney Will take on political significance which MT. Harding is determined it shall not aseume
 That is the reacon he is going to cut in half his speaking tour He will also by this means cut in half the number of public receptions he must undergo: the number of crowds he must appear before: the number of greetings enthusiastic otherwise he will receive.
 The President knows that in addition
