Wells, accompanied by Edwards
Evans, jr., is here comforting with
Soviet government officials, seeking

Of the world race across the larger

enthusiasm for the venture that is
reported in other countries where ar
rangements already have been made.
Next Summers race will be the first

popular means Of transportation. The

ANT|-LYNCH|NG BILL
THREAT DISSOLVED
President Has Not Listed 1t
Among Essential Pieces
of Legislation.
by ROBERT T. SMALL.

The threat of the anti-lynching bill
no longer hangs over Congress be-
cause the White House spokesman"
has not listed it among the essen
tiar" pieces of legislation which he
would like to see disposed of before
an early adjournment of the national
legislature is taken.
The President, as matter OF TACT,
never has indicated through the
spokesman" or otherwise, that he
favors such a drastic measure as the
pending bill, which would transfer
all criminal cases growing out OF
lynchings to the Federal Courts and
would impose a fine Of $4,000 upon
any county in which a lynching oc-
CURED. The measure also describes
three or more persons as a mop.
President Coolidge has urged upon
Congress that the negro be given
full liberty and equality under the
law" but such liberty and equality
would seem to be already guaranteed
under the Constitution.
Threatened as Reprisal.
The anti-1ynching bill has been
threatened as a reprisal against the
southern Democrats who voted to
shut off debate on the World Court.
i has been said that a majority or
Senator'S favor the bill, which could
easily be rushed through the House.
But without cloture there has been
no chance to bring the measure to
vote in the upper chamber.
Democrats have served notice that
they will keep Congress in session
sIntil next Christmas If necessary to
defeat a bill which. they say. would
be the last straw in the destruction
Gf the independence Of the supposed
ly sovereign States of the Union. 1t
requires a two-thirds vote TO shut
off debate and put bill upon its
passage, and the Democrats can at
any time master more than the neces-
sary one-third votes to block cloture
on the measure which Is anathema
TO them.
Unless direct pressure should be
applied from the White House. Re-
publican Senators will not dare to
keep the anti-lynchlns bill up for
action. No such pressure is likely,
for Mr.. Coolidge is anxious to get
Congress off his hands at as early
q date as possible sooner the
5etter-and he knows full we'll that
the lynching bill would mean indefi-
mite delay.

Impression of Visitor.

Iuasmuch as 1t Is the open season
for psychoanalyZing the President,
the impression he made upon q
visitor to the White House IS inter
esting. This visitor, a thorough stu
dent of character, got perhaps new
view.
1T seems to me- he said to the
writer, that the important thing
about Mr. Coolidge is that he knows
his own number. He does not think
he is something he isn't. He knows
human limitations and therefore he
knows his own He Is not Of the race
of supermen and has no desire to pose
Rs such. | don't mean to say ne Is
'just folks He Is far more than that.
He has hard practical sense. Perhaps
that is why the country thinks of him
as being cold and hard. Certainly
he would be a hard man to bunco,
even about himself"
In this connection there Is the fur
ther story of the enthusiastic White
House caller, who assured the Presi-
dent the great majority of the West
ern people were for him 100 per cent.
"AIebbe so today" the President
is quoted as replying, "but you can't
