Missoula, Mont, Aug. 3 R-'The wise determination of President Coo lidge not again to become a candi- date will be approved by most Amer icans,," Thomas J. Walsh. democrat, Montana said today.
 Tt is scarcely to be believed that any others desiring his reelection were undisturbed by misgiving at departure from the precedent set by Washington and especially by Jef- ferson.
 Tt would be difficult to alarm anyone concerning the fate of the country should the mild hammered president be again chosen. But the rule once departed from ceases to exist and it becomes relatively easy for some bold and ambitious man or one not over scrupulous to utilize the vast power and prestige of the presidential office to perpetuate him. self in that eminent place.

SAY DROUH|N WON'T
 PILOT FOR LEVINE
Columbia Plane Owner Believed
 to Want British Ace

Paris Aug. R-Relations be- tween Charles A. Levine, owner of the transatlantic plane Columbia. and the French aviator Maurice Drouhin are said by L'Auto, leading French sporting daily, to be "so strained that their flying together across the Atlantic to New York now is no longer possible"
 The Matin openly alleges that MT. Levine wants to get rid of Drouhln so as to be free to engage the British pilot, Captain Hinchcliffe, by haggIing over the terms of the con- tract until Drouhin is disgusted and wthdraws of his own accord.
 The provisional contract, as de- scribed by the newspapers, provided that Mir. Levine was to pay Drouhin $1,0O0 for years engagement. to include piloting the Columbia across the Atlantic. In addition, they say. MT. Levine was to deposit 100000 francs (about s12.000) in the Bank of France by way of insurance on the pilots life, on the eve of the departure for New York, and pay Drouhin a forfeit of 100000 francs If he engaged another pilot.
 Drouhin now declares. the papers say, that $1.000 for a transatlantic flight and years salary is "ridicu- lous," that he never took the pro- visional arrangement seriously and demanded the salary increased. This Mir. Levine refused to do. the pa pers say, and there the matter rests for the present.
 As the Columbia Is ready for the flight when weather conditions are, favorable, Mir. Levine and Pilot Drouhin tried to come to an agree ment yesterday afternoon, but after two hours of heated discussion sign ing of the final contract was again deferred.
 At one stage of the negotiations, Drouhin and his representative threatened to leave the room as MT. Levine compared the flier's attitude with that of Lloyd Bertaud in the United States when the American aviator failed to come to terms in connection with the eastward flight of the Columbia. Drohhin also was aroused by the remark that if he made too many difficulties, there were a hundred other aviators ready to take his place.

London Aug. 3 R-Several Lon- don morning newspapers, associated president Coolidge's remuneration of a third term with the happenings at the Geneva naval conference. The Westminster Gazette says:
 Tn view of the fact that he was responsible for the convening of the conference, desiring to crown his present term of office with an his toric pact. it may be surmised that the Geneva failure is prime factor in his unexpected decision, which may change the whole face of Amer ican politics"
 The possibility that President Coolidge may reconsider his de- cision in the event of receiving in vitation is noted by the papers. However, curiosity iss expressed as 10 who will be the republican nom- lnee If he adheres to his resolve.

JAZZ AIDS SYMPHONY
Highest Paid Jazz King Offers Mon- ey To Help Pay Orchestra
 Players Demanding Increase

Chicago, Aug. 3 Pl-Jazz has come to the rescue of the Chicago Symphony orchestra.
 Paul Ash, reputedly one of the country's highest paid jazz maestros, has offered to donate S10,000 to help meet the wage increase de- manded by musicians of the orches- tra. Directors of the symphony or chestra society recently announced that the orchestra. after having won world fame under batons of Theodore Thomas and Frederick Stock, would be disbanded because union salary demands were regard cd as unreasonable.
 The difference between what the society offers to pay and what the union asks is $50, 900 annually. Ash, in offering to meet one-third of this sum, stipulated only that the entire s10000 go for salaries and for no other purpose.
 Symphony society leaders are con- sidering it.

SUNSHINE GALORE
 FOR YOUNGSTERS
Exchange Club Entenains Chl-
 dren'S Home Folk

Yesterday was a truly great day. Of course, there was one small shower. but what's a short shower to the youngsters from the Chill dren's Home when they are at Lake Compounce as the guests of the New Britain Exchange club in connec- ton with the annual Sunshine Spe- cial Day? The shower was soon over and the fun began as soon as the last drop had fallen and con- tinued in undimmed intensity until the last car had left the place in the evening.
 It was hard to determine yester- day, just who had the most fun, the children or the members of the club. There was one little fellow about three feet high who had horn. From the time the horn was given him until he arrived at the Chil- horn was working. The little chaps forehead was furrowed with exer- ton; his cheeks were ballooned in an effort to get all the noise possible out of the horn; towards the end he grew absolutely pop-eyed with exertion. Fun? Of course he had fun.
 Clowns Were There
 There were the clowns, recruited among the members of the club and daubed with grease paint which wouldn't come off after the clowns h fo t,lo t{y,or Poodles Haneford. They were Charles Bradley. Herbert Woods, Arthur Benson, Edward Christ, Har- old Tayntor. DeWNt Riley and Rus sell Gold. They lassooed each other and did aesthetic dances. Bradley uncovered a tame monkey which amazed the children for awhile.
 There was a hap-hazard baseball game wherein all the small boys had a whack at bats while the members of the club tried to stop grounders and Texas leaguers and pop flies. The infield work was terrible, the pitching was worse and the fielding Was beyond description. while the small batters ran merrijy from home to first to second to third to home until everybody got dizzy.
 There was @ shooting contest in which the youngsters lined up in teams to compete for prizes with the bow and arrow. Points ranging from 2 to 100 were scored. One teams winning archer won on the total score of 2, an indication of the superb shooting eye. of the contest ants. Most of the arrows went over the fence and had to be chased.
 Parade at Start
 There was the parade to start the day. forming at Franklin Square and marching through Main street to West Main to Cedar street. From there the trip was made in automo- piles, headed by Motorcycle Police man William S. Strolls. The chief boast of the young paraders seemed

 Points to Naval Farley

Paris, Aug. 3 R-Pertinax. politi- cal editorial writer of the Echo De Paris. commenting on the announce ment that President Coolidge did not choose to be candidate for the presidency in the next election. says:
 "One cannot help remarking that the presidents decision comes at the very hour when the Geneva naval conference-his work-is breathing it's last. He had undoubtedly ar ranged it with the design of draping himself in dazzling diplomatic pres tige. He counted on disarmament to remove hesitation or scruples of electors on the subject of . third term. Ills act seems indicative of the disappointment he feels."
