WASHINGTON, April II. - Re-
turning to its inquiry into possible
oil company contributions to nation
al political campaign funds. the SEN
ate oil committee today sought in
formation about $3,000,000 loan
made by the Chase National Bank in
New York, in 1919, to William
Boyce Thompson, formerly chairman
of the ways and means committee
of the Republican national commit
tee.
Declaring his client was too Ill to
appear, William Wallace, Jr.. attor-
ney for Thompson, testified that the
$3,000,000 loan was secured by 50,-
154 shares of Sinclair oil stock, but
insisted it had nothing to do with
the campaign funds. He said Thomp-
son had no part in Republican fl
nancing until after the 1920 cam
paign, and that the Chase bank loan
was repaid in full in 1919.
The lawyer also read into the rec
ord telegram from Thompson, who
has been sought by committee sub
poena servers for more than two
weeks, saying he had been wholly
out of the Sinclair interests since
1921" Thompson was said to have
failed to respond to the committee
summons because he is confined to a
sanatorium in Arizona.
Appearing voluntarily and speak
ing for his client, Wallace also denied
that Thompson had borrowed large
sums to wipe out the Republican ma
tional committee deficit after 1920.
The committee called e. ]. Co.'S
tello, a Chicago newspaperman once
employed by the late Jake Hamon,
Republican national committeeman
from Oklahoma. as publicity agent.
The witness explained that his
services for Hamon were performed
in 1917. He said he met Hamon at
the Chicago convention and was told
"it was all fixed" that Harding was
to be nominated, that Governor
Coolidge was to be vice president"
and that Fall was to be member of
the cabinet. -
did he tell you what position
Fall was to have?" asked Senator
Walsh, the committee prosecutor.
mo"
what was Hamon to get aht of
this?"
"He said he would be taken care
Of"
Costello said this conversation
took place about ten hours before
Harding was nominated"
James Sloane, formerly attached
to the White House staff, also told
of the visit of the Harding party to
Point Isabel. Tex, after the election.
He testified that after the trip south
he was employed by the Republican
National Committee at a salary of
$3.50 a month, from that position. he
said, he was made manager of the
Washington branch of Ungerleider
and Company.
He was excused after further ques-
tioning and the committee adjourned
until Monday.

Coolidge Endorsed


OKLAHOMA CITY, April 11.-En-
dorsement of the candidacy of CAL
vim Coolidge was recorded at vir-
tually all county Republican conven-
tions held throughout Oklahoma
yesterday. Many conventions fav-
ored an instructed delegation for the
President.
Vernon Whiting, state campaign
manager for Coolidge, declared in
Tulsa, that the result had put
Coolidge over the top in his cam
paign for the Republican nomina-
tion.''
"Our figures show that 533 dele
gates had been elected either in
structed for Coolidge, or favorable
to him before the Oklahoma con-
ventions," Whiting said. Add Ok
lahoma's 23 delegates to this list
and you have 556 for Coolidge, one
more than enough to insure him a
majority of the 1109 votes in the
national convention"
The county delegates elected in
Oklahoma yesterday will chose the
states national delegation.

USE CAUTION,
COOLIDGE SAYS
Advises Senate to Maintain
Constitutional Rights in
Making Investigations

WASHINGTON, April 11-Presi-
dent Coolidge in a message to the
senate today advised that body to
maintain its constitutional and le-
gal rights" in conducting inyesti-
cations.
Tho message, couched in direct
language, was occasioned by the ac-
ton of the senate committee tnvesti-
eating the internal revenue bureau
In employing Francis ]. Heney of
California, as special prosecutor at
the instance and at the expense of
Senator Couzens of Michigan, a Re-
publican member of the committee.
The President supplemented his
message with a letter from Secre-
tary Mellon, in which the treasury
head declared that should "unnec-
essary interference" with the proper
exercise of his duty be continued,
neither I nor any other man OF
character can longer take RESPONSE
bility for the treasury"
Employment of Heney was de-
clared by the President to be IN
conflict with law and procedure
likely to throw the government In
to disorder.
1T Is time that we return to a
government under and in accord
ance with the usual forms of the
law Of the land" the President said.

WASHINGTON. April 11.-De-
claring his purpose is to rid the
Republican party of "a corrupt and
reactionary CONTROL" Senator Hiram
Johnson of California, candidate for
the Republican presidential nomina-
tion, says in a statement published

his campaign is to be curtailed, at
least, in view of the recent primary
returns favoring the nomination OF
President Coolidge.
Senator Johnsons statement, is

High Speed Motors
They actually get the higher pow
er from these small engines by
running them fast under high COM
preston, but buyers pay tax on the
formula rating. American cars like
the Ford. Chevrolet and Overland
have much bigger, slow-speed. nor
NAL compression motors, whose buy
ers must pay much higher taxes,
Consequently, the European small
cars have a big advantage.
Large European cars with slow
speed, normal compression motors
comparable to American made mo-
tors, come within the luxury class
and buyers pay about the same tax
es as American cars of the same
kind carry.
These cars, like Buick, Stud
ebaker, Nash and others, are mar
ketable in Europe in competition

All European countries except Ems
land have a tariff on motor cars
which is AS per cent in France an,

Quetness, durability, comfort an,

UNITED STATES AND EUROPE
DIFFER GREATLY IN AUTOMO-
BILE AND MOTOR CONSTRUCTION

tween the automobile industry in
Europe and America is in the size
of cars produced.
Perhaps three-fourths of all
European makers produce small
cars. Many of these cars are of
short wheel base and of treads as
narrow as AS inches. against the
American standard Sc inches. Small
tires and low road clearance are
common, as are open cars seating
two and three people, with quite
flimsy tops.
Small bore motors with high
compression, under speeds of from
5000 to 1000 +. p. m. prevail.
Owners are accustomed to climb
ing hills in second gear which
American cars breeze over on high.
Andre Citroen, the Ford of
France, has five plants in Paris
which are now producing 800 cars
per day and are being enlarged to
produce 500 per day. He is pro-
ducing over half the cars sold in
France. His products consists of n
5 H. P. car, the three-seater of
which sells for 1880 francs, and
a 10 H. p. priced at 16,500 francs.
He will sell perhaps $4,000 cars
this year Renault ranks next,
with an output of about $4,000.
The total French output will ap-
proximate 100000 cars.
Morris-Cowley is the Ford of
England. Their small car, IL H.
p, four-seater, sells for 1876 pounds,
and his IA H. P. for 2S5 pounds.
This concern is probably producing
one half of the cars made in Eng
land. Numerous other concerns in
France, England, Belgium, Italy
and Germany are producing small
cars.
America produces nothing COM
parable to these European small
cars. as the reasons which compel
European manufacturers to make
them do not exist in America.
Taxes Govern Size
Europe was forced to build them
because of the basis of taxation.
which generally is a high tax on
horse power. The French tax is
SO francs per H. p. on cars of 10
H. p. and less, A francs for those
from 10 to 20 H. p. and So franc;
per H. p. for those above 20 H. P.
The Belgian tax is 80 francs per
H. P. and the English one pound
per H. p. fat. France has also a
10 per cen luxury tax on the re-
tail price. These taxes compare
with something like 25 cents per
H. P. in the United States.
The mathematical formula used
by practically all the countries to
determine horsepower rating is ad-
mitted by all engineers to be gross
ly inaccurate, and yet the govern
ment uses it as a tax basis. With
out attempting to describe the
formula it can be said that the ac-
tual horsepower of an engine can
be determined only by test, and
cannot be arrived at by formula.
because it involves not only bore,
stroke and speed. but the additional
factors of compression ratio. valve
size, valve lift, timing, weight of
r~eciprocatng parts, and the nature
of ignition, also manifold design,
density of gas, and FRACTIONAL re-
sistance.

Two of the worlds greatest auto
mobile shows were held in October
at the Grand Palais, Paris, and
Olympia, London. The number of
firms exhibiting at both shows ex-
ceeded considerably the number
which exhibit at our annual shows
in Chicago and New York, but the
character and quality of their au-
tomobiles. bodies and parts, and
accessories. were certainly not SUI
perior to ours.
Different conditions in Europe
and the United States explain the
numerical superiority of the foreign
shows.
With the exception of two or
three manufacturers in both France
and England. all producers of motor
cars and assemblers who purchase
their bodies and parts from differ
ent makers of such things, and con.
sequently their are a host of such
makers competing for this business
The ownership and operation OF
foundries, forge shops, stamping
plants, and body factories by cal
producers is quite limited.
Numerous manufacturers sell
more chassis than they do, complete
cars. and retail buyers of chassis
purchase their bodies from the
body makers direct. Then again
the Paris and London shows con.
tain many cars OF foreign make
whereas New York and Chicago
shows house only cars produced in
the United States.
More Exhibition
At the Grand Palais, a commo.
dious. beautiful building, 1872 diff.
ferent makes of cars were on exhi
bition, including 81 French, 1C
Italian, IL American, s Belgium
and 5 British makes.

British makes. % American, %
French, 10 Italian. and IS. Belgian
makes. At Paris, SO makers o.

different makes of bodies, 1928 mo
torcycle and bicycle manufacturers
and over 5000 makes of parts ant

The number of body. motorcycle
bicycle and parts and accessory
manufacturers in the Uniteds States
is much smaller than in either
France or England, and of these
only parts and accessory manufac-
turers are permitted to exhibit al
u national shows. Our motor cal
companies are. Furthermore, reaI
manufacturers to a greater degree
than in any other country.
The attendance at both Paris and
London was enormous. People from
all over the world attended the
Paris show. and London had num-
erous foreign visitors. 1t was es.
timated that over 1OO, 900 people
visited the Grand Palais on each
of the two Sundays upon which the
show was OPEN and 700, 900 dur
