World Court Next

"OEAU NOuEb 1NCAk
Next in popular importance to
the business Of tax reduction comes
the World Court question.
Pigeon-holed and evaded by two
previous Congresses. this issue is
to be dragged forth ten days from
today and fought over in the Sem
ate until a decision is had as to
whether or not the United States
is to Join the Permanent Court OF
International Justice. organized by
and operated under the auspices OF
the League of Nations at Geneva.
The battle over this far-reaching
issue promises to be smaller edi-
ton of the bitter fight over the
League and the Versailles treaty
that occupied the Senate almost
exclusively for three years.
The friends Of the court are in
a majority in the Senate, yet SO
militant is the minority. and so
capable are those who are opposed
to joining on the terms proposed
by the Harding Coolidge admins
trations, that there were few ex-
perienced observers about the Capt.
toll today who cared to predict that
the United States will adhere to
the tribunal without some drastic
and emasculating reservations.
Their ranks decimated by death

Administration spokesmen in TIE
Senate, while anxious to destroy
La Follette's influence, needed the
appeals of Western Senators to end
their insurgent warfare.
The Western appeal was based
on belief that friendly treatment
of young La Toilette would
strengthen Republican fences in the
West and swing back into tho

There was no such peace talk IN

There the Wisconsinites, threat
ened with disciplinary action IL
they failed to pledge Republican
party allegiance on administration
issues, voiced open defiance of

In a public statement the rem

group, helpless now because OF a
large Republican majority in the
House, announced:
THE Wisconsin delegation IN

We refuse to compromise or to

Under the circumstances, we
cannot vote for Mr.. Longworth for

said, will consist of continuance of

Warmly Defends Tariff
The Presidents defense of the
tariff as protection for the
farmer was warm. Citing official
statistics he undertook to prove to
the members Of the American Farm
Bureau Federation that the free
list was especially constructed to
favor the farmer and that 80 per
cent of our imports either come in
free or pay a duty to protect him.
"Of the $3.50, 900, 900 of goods
paying imports last year." he point
ed out, $3.50 900, 900 was upon agri-
cultural products, levied solely to

The total adverse cost on the
Farmers purchases as a result OF
the tariff is only between and 8
per cent of his purchases, the
Executive declared. Industry and
commerce foots the bill.
Pledging his Administration to aid
in building up co-operatives, Mr..
Coolidge continued:
Cooperative Marketing
while the Government ought
not to undertake to control or d.
rect, it should supplement and as
sist all efforts in this direction. The
leaders of the cooperative move

partment of Agriculture, have pre-
pared what is believed to be an ade-

Congress for enactment. I propose

DENIES ALASKA
AIR TTACK
POSSIBLE
MitcheII's Charges Met BY
1t. Commdr. Frost at
CoIoneI's Court Martial

| A battery of experts on north
Pacific weather headed by Lieuten
ant Commander H. II. Frost today
| sought to riddle Colonel Williams
MitchelI's charges that the United
States is open to an air attack via
| the Aleutian Islands and Alaska.
Frost, whom Major Allen Gullion
general staff prosecutor, termed the
"Young Malhon'' OF the navy, told
the court-martial that the danger of
a northern air invasion was slight.
1.-THE weather is our greatest
protection. The logical line Of flight
across the Aleutians and Behring
sea is ice bound good part of the
year. During the most favorable
seasons, the weather is bad" said
Frost.
"It would be impossible for a
fleet of planes to make the flight
from Japan without assistance from
a large fleet of surface vessels.
Frost then read a mass Of
weather reports and other records
| to bear out his contention.
| Congressman Frank r. Reid, Re.
publican, OF Illinois, chief of de.
tense counsel, frequently objected
to Frost's testimony on the grounds
much of the information was
secondhand
IF an attacking nation had com
mand OF the Pacific IL would hardly
fly planes over the northern route.
The easiest way would be to shir
I planes on transports. Without
such command of the seas, 1t would
be virtually impossible to attack
/ via Alaska" Frost insisted.
Reid tore into Frost on cross
| examination Ibid not a navy
plane fly 1900 miles into the Pa
cific without landing"
YES"
"WeIl, why could not a fleet oil
such planes with only one stop In
i the north Pacific?''
1T could be done but when they
landed in Alaska they could be ar
rested by police-they could not
i carry sufficient armament to men
ace an American force"
Frost insisted that present sub
marines could not carry airplanes.
| Japan has only three or four
submarines large enough to carry
a dismantled airplane. They wound
not menace the Pacific coast"
Charles K. Burgess, designer al
the Shenandoah, the next witness
fatty stated the dirigible was broker
by a storm and not by expansion
| Of gas.
Burgess said he opposed the
change of automatic valves from rs
! to 5 because of the greater safety
/ Of automatic operation.
1.-THE change was insisted upor
by the flying crew and we give "a,
| Burgess said, in revealing that the
signers weer all opposed to the
valve reduction.
| The Shenandoah crew, however
was extremely efficient, and for thai
reason we felt there was slight pos
sibility of rupture OF the cells due
to rapid expansion Of gas
The court then recessed to give
Reid time to attend the opening o:

FRIENDS CRIEVED
TO HEAR NEWS OF
TRAGIC ACCIDENT

Many friends of the family of
William Kluck, who lived in this
city until the late summer, were
deeply shocked to read of the sad
accident which happened near San
ia Rosa Thursday night in which
Mrs. Kluck lost her life and Mr..
Kluck was so badly injured that
there are grave doubts of his recov-
ering.
Details of the accident have not
vet been received in FL Centre. Tel
egraphic dispatches advise that the
family were riding on the Murray
hill grade between Caistoga and
HealdSburg when the fatal acci-
dent happened. Edith, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Kluck was driving
when she lost control of the car
which skidded over the grade, kill
ing Mrs. kluck instantly.
Ted Kluck. Il son, who is employ
ed in this city by Emery Girard, re-
ceived the sad news by telegraph
Yesterday afternoon and left last
night with Mrs. Girard for Berk-
elev. where the kluck family reside
since they moved from this city dur
ing the summer. Another son,
Chester, is student at California
For many years Mr.. Kluck operat-
ed a grocery store at the corner of
Brighton and Eight streets, selling
the business this summer so that he
and Mrs. Kluck could be with Edith
and Chester at Berkeley. The fam
ily was we'll known here, the two
boys and Edith being prominent in
the younger circle of the city dur

mar and high schools here.
Mr.. and Mrs. kluck held the re-

hard in the face of difficult OBJ

FRENCH EXPERTS
AMAZED ON VISIT
TO AUTO FACTORY

"But, Messieurs, it is impossible;
it cannot be that you can do it when
YOU manufacture so many cars!'
Though they saw the task being
performed as regular, routine part
of automobile building, the engi-
neering staff Of the foremost
French motor car manufacturer,
could not believe that American
manufacture in quantity could do
such raceful work.
They were watching a deftfinger-
ed girl in the Studebaker factory at
South Bend, Ind, grading connect
ing rods. They saw her put them,
lengthwise, on n special balancing
scale and sort them into sets of six,
each being matched for weight.
Each set was for one particular en-
CINE.
The object was to make sure that,
when fastened to the perfectly bal
anced crankshaft, machined on all
sides to obtain inherent balance, one
connecting rod would not be heavier
than the others and thus unbalance
the assembly, even by a small
amount.
The French engineers, who had
the impression American manufac-
turers just stamped out automobiles
with punch press, were amazed to
learn that such infinite pains were
resorted to, that the product should
be as near mechanically perfect as
ingenuity could devise.
Nor did their surprise lessen when
they learned that 1900 separate in
spectors made more than 10000 in
dividual inspections before Stude-
baker car ran off the assembly line,
completed. Nothing like this, they
declared existed in Europe, even in
custom built ear factories.
Nor could they understand how a
manufacturer could afford if, until
they were shown it was paid for out
Of savings which otherwise would
have gone as profits to parts max
ers. This company manufacturers
all the vital parts Of its automobile
which is what Studebaker means bv
