fUnLESS MOTOR
 HIT BY ENGINEERS
H.ndaht Says Tt Worts' Daqie Reports to ths Contrary

Pittsburgh. Pa. Feb. 2S R-Al- though his "fuelless' motor has been characterized as impractical and mot a motor at all. but a gen. erator," Lester J. Hendershot. of West Elizabeth. Pa. today stood by his assertion that my motor worlls."
 The motor, described by the 2s- year-old inventor as deriving it's power from the magnetic fields of the earth, was said yesterday by F. W. Hochstetter. of the Hochstetter Research Laboratories hero to be a generator and not a motor at all." obtaining tits electricity from con- cealed carbon pencil battery"
 L. F. Sieg, dean of the college and of the graduate school and pro lessor of physics at the University of Pittsburgh, said he did not be- lieve Hendershot's motor was prac- tical, but added that his knowledge of the creation was limited to in formation gleaned from newspaper accounts.
 Show Models
 Hochstetter exhibited models of what he said were early phases of the Hendershot motor. declaring that he had negotiated with Tender shot some time ago on what ap- peared from newspaper reports to have been the same thing he is now trying to promote"
 When informed of the statements of sieg and Hochstetter. Hendershot said he had used carbon pencil cells while experimenting in an effort to take electricity from the air. but that the present motor utilized "the magnetic field set up by the earth and no other power.
 Y didn't build the motor that was demonstrated at Detroit" the inven. tor said. That was built by army men under orders from Major Lan. phieF and under my direction. didn't even 50 much IS wind the motor-they built the motor-and il works. That's my answer to all critics-my motor works"
 sieg also commented on the claim that the motor takes its power from tho earth's magnetic field. sayinf there was little there to be utilized and even If the magnetic field were much stronger. 1t could not be used because an electric current must b. used in conjunction with 1t.
