PINCHOT FACESTES
IN PRIMARY TODAY
Governor Says Forces Against Him
Are Those of Corruption
in Politics.

BY the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, April 22-Gov.
Pinchot today again measured his po-
litical strength with dominant forces
of the Republican organization in
Pennsylvania in a fight with Ralph B.
Strass burger, Norristown publisher,
for election in the statewide primary
as a delegate at large to the Repub-
lican national convention. Two years
ernor, he defeated the organization
in a large majority of the sixty-seven
counties in the state.
Until last Saturday, when Repre-
sentative William S. Ware, local Re-
publican leader, announced his op-
position to Pinchot and declared he
would support Strassburger, the gov
ernor's election was assured.
Gov. Pinchot made his final plea to
the voters yesterday in a statement,
in which he denounced Ware and de-
clared that against him were all the
forces that work for corruption, de-
bauchery and moral degradation of
the state"
Representative Ware countered with
the statement that his action was
prompted solely by the governors
suggestion for the appointment of
FRANCIS j. Heney as counsel for the
Senate committee investigating the
internal revenue bureau, which he
characterized as move to "discredit
Secretary Mellon and embarrass the
Coolidge administration"

COOLIDGE PROPOSES NEW PARLEY
FOR ARMS LIMITATION If GERMAN
SETTLEMENT PLANS ARE SUCCESS
Text of Presidents Speech

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 22.-Presiden
Coolidges address at the annua
meeting of the Associated Press to
day follows:
The gathering and publication
of news has a deeper significance
than is sometimes realized. No
large enterprise can exist for it
self alone. 1t ministers to some
great need, it performs some great
service, not for itself. but for
others; or, failing therein, it
ceases to be profitable and ceases
to exist. This is the case with
the Associated Press. 1t is one
of the eyes of mankind which
never slumbers. Without ceas-
ing, it assemblies each day the
events of each part of the world
and transmits them 10 every other
part.
The fundamental reason for this
lies in the fact that it is felt to
be of vital importance to each
man and each community to know
what other men and other com
munitieS are doing. The news is
printed and read, not for the mere
purpose of entertainment, amuSe-
ment and recreation, but almost
entirely for the practical purpose
of information, in order that by
means of accurate knowledge of
what others are doing course
may be laid out of accurate and
successful action.
Faith in the American people
means a faith III their ability to
form sound judgments, when once
the facts have been presented to
them clearly and without preju-
dice. 1t is this educational work,
national in its scope. that the
Associated Press performs, and
upon its integrity and fairness
depends in large measure the
course of public opinion in the
United States. This work is done
without any tinge of personal or
political opinion. 4 very practi-
cal need exists, and it is met by
very practical service. 1t is in
dividual in it's nature 1t is
personal service for each of US,
making it's appeal entirely to the
intelligence of the individual and
recognizing fully the American
ideal of intellectual independence.
Ideals Must Be Preserved.
This conception is not exactly
at variance with, but certainly
supplementary to, the long-cher-
iShed ideal of the independence of

InUentOr Claims
Harnessirg Sun
To Melt Diamond

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. April az
Marcel Moreau Of San Francisco
today announced he had found a
way of harnessing the suns heat
He declared that, working from
experiments credited to Archi-
medes and Button hundreds of
years ago, he had succeeded in de-
vising a combination of little mir
rors set in bowl about four feet
in diameter, which, when focused
through a number of small lenses,
would produce tremendous heat
from the suns light. He said he
could regulate the heat produced
to the exact degree desired.
Moreau claims to have produced
with his machine heat sufficient to
melt a diamond and cause it to
disappear as gas.

EXPERTS PROPOSAL
Outlines to Barthou French Atti-

AMERICANS ON WAY HOME
Dawes Refuses Any Further Com.
ment on Report.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 90. Louis Barthou,
president of the reparations commits
sion, had a long talk today with
Premier Poincare concerning the
methods of procedure in putting into
effect the reparation program out
lined by Brig. Gen. Dawes and his
fellow experts. They agreed that it
is for the reparation commission to
proceed first with the organization
as far as the commissions jurisdic-
tion goes. after which the interested
governments will deliberate on the
points, they must, decide. de.Ezs----.------..s-
The premier's letter to NJ. Barthou.
is Is said in official circles, will not
be issued for publication by the
French government. NJ. Barthou
Will probably bring the letter before
the reparation commission tomorrow,
when it will be decided whether it
shall be published or not.
May Not Give Out Text.
1t is believed that the letter will
not be given out unless similar docu-
ments from the British and other
allied governments are also published.
The letter contains the acceptance
by the French government of the
Dawes report as a basis for a new
reparation settlement.
Reports from New York that an
American would be chosen to super
wise the putting into effect of the ex-
pertS' reparation plan were FOUND i'm
possible of confirmation here today.
In French official circles 1t was said
nothing whatever was known of any
such project, and a similar reply to
questioners was made in reparation
commission quarters
Due to Speculation.
The report, it is thought here, may
have grown out of speculation as to
who might be named on the various
control boards under the experts plan
and to act as commissioner to utilize
the index of prosperity to determine
when Germany could increase her
payments and to decide when 1t would
be dangerous to the German currency
and budget to export German pay
ments on reparation account
what a day to leave Paris" was
the regretfuI comment of owen ID.
Young as he left today for Cherbourg
to board the Leviathan for home.
Speaking for himself and Henry M.
Robinson, the other American repa.
ration expert, he added: THE brief
rest since handing in our reports
seems to have done us world of
good but the irony of fate has made
the Paris weather the best in months
at the very moment of our depar-
ture."
Mr.. Young was in joking mood,
exchanging sallies with Mr.. Robinson
and the other members of the party
as they oarded the train. Col. James
A. Logan,e 9 representative of the
United States with the repa.ration
commission, was at the station to
say farewell, but no other officials
were in evidence.
