Radio Fans to
Listen for Noise
OF MeteOrs Tonight

New York. Aug. 9-tP)-Radio fans
will try to find out tomorrow night
what sort of noise meteors make
during a celestial shower of fire.
Tests will be conducted by DR..
William j. Fisher of the Harvard
Observatory and Radio News,
magazine, and all radio fans were
today invited to participate.
In statement announcing the
tests today Hugo Gernsback. editor
of the radio magazine, said that to-
morrow had been chosen as the date
because great meteoric showers oc-
cur every year on August 10, when il
is believed the earth cuts the path OF
a disintegrated comet of planetoid.
He put forward the theory that
electrical effects must be produced
when these meteors strike the earth's
atmosphere and catch fire and that
this effect can be tuned in on by
radio sets. Listeners were asked to
operate their sets so that no regu-
lar program would interfere, and
then, sitting at window, record
carefully what noise is heard just at
the moment that a meteor Is seen
streaking across the sky.

French to Put Over
Consideration of
War Debts Until Fall

Paris, Aug. 9-(P)-That considera =

ment with the United States will be
postponed until after the summer va
cation, at least, is the Interpretation

Der of deputies today in appointing
a sub committee to review the Mel
lon Berenger accord.
Premier Poincare's idea of bringing
both the debt settlement with the
United States and the settlement with
Great Britain up for ratification be-
fore adjournment of parliament for
the summer recess Is understood to
have met with opposition inside the
cabinet.
That fact, rather than the open
letter of former Premier Clemen-
ceau to President Coolidge, is gen.
orally supposed to be the real reason
for avoiding discussion of the debt
settlement at todays session of the
cabinet, although it was announced on
good authority that the ministers
were called together to consider
that particular question. The debt
settlement in all probability will be
postponed until October at the earli-
est, unless NJ. Poincare Is able before
the adjournment of parliament this
week to bring about an agreement
among his ministries in favor Of rati-
fication.

Deny Reports of
TrOublOus Times
In Soviet Russia

Moscow. Aug. 9-(P)-All reports
abroad that NJ Stain, general secre-
tary of the Communist party, has
been murdered, that Leon Trotz1ly
has fed, that Gregory Zinovieff has
been eXiled and that the Russian
army and navy have mutined are
summer fictions.
An investigation conducted by a
correspondent for The Associated
Press shows that peace and order
reign throughout Russia.
NJ Stain continues to direct affairs
of state from his sanctum in the
Kremlin, TrotZky, who occupies a
smaH apartment near that of NJ Sta
lin. is engrossed in literary pursuits,
and work for the concessions COM
mittee, while Zinovieff is taking 4
much needed period of rest in the
Caucasus after his stormy recent inn
ings with the central executive COM
mittee of the Communist party.
There has been no mobilization of
Soviet troops as reported abroad. nor
has there. been the slightest indica-
ton OF any uprising within the army.
Soviet leaders long have been in the
custom of giving the army the best
of everything, bestowing special at
tention on their welfare, content
ment and recreation, thus winning
their Loyalty. Moscow is as quiet as
any American city on Sunday morn
ing. Half the population is away in
the country and the tide of life runs
sluggishly through the old capital.
Twenty American college profess
sors, publicists and social workers,
who came here recently, have been
pleasantly surprised to find Moscow
one of the most peaceful and safe
towns in the world, although not the
cleanest or more orderly. They are
dividing their time in Moscow be-
tween sightseeing, Investigations of
social conditions and interviews with
various Soviet commissars.
Like the resident American cores
pondents they have been flooded with
anxious queries from home concern
ing their safety. They are s safe
here as they would be on Main street.
