Mr.. Slemp. The statement that ]

President Coolidge today held a
conference with Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon regarding the ap-
pointment of the twenty-eight men
to constitute the tax appeal board
created by the new tax law. They
discussed principally the personnel and
the President let it be known later

for this important work of men of
hHoNH dOility anu experience because
of the nature of the work and be-
cause OF the large sums of money
that will be involved many times
while they are sitting upon this
board. The compensation allowed by
Congress is $500. which sum the
President admits is proving somewha,
of a handicap i'm landing just the type
of men the administration is seeking
for this body.
1t may be that some of the men
now in the government service. or
especially the Treasury Department.
may be appointed to this board. but
the President thinks that it will be
more advantageous to bring in men
not now in public office who will as
sumo new duties, fresh from the at
mosphere outside OF Washington and
with a point of view of the public
different probably from that held by
men now in governmental positions
This board will sit as a regular court

the judgment of Albert Einstein

Grindell Matthews. The great
scientist said:
THE news in the world press is
unclear and contradictory. 1t is
no longer affirmed that one can
kill men or living creatures at

one can cause explosions at dis
tance of munitions and break cleo
tric currents of magnetos in ex-

This is Incredible. Naturally
il can only be a question of elec-
tro-magnet waves, and these can
not penetrate objects encased in
metal, because the waves are alb
sorbed by metal 1t would be i'm
possible to collect the energy nee
essary to penetrate metal at such

that this. in my opinion. is bluff."

foreigners. More than 100000 Japs have established
themselves the West coast in violation of the Gen

entered into
