|ED|SON'S PROTEGE
BROADCASTS HOPES
Huston of Seattle Explains
Why He Prefers Science to
Classical Work.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. a..
NEW YORK, August 3.-Wilber B.
Huston of Seattle, winner of the Edison
scholarship, tonight told a radio au-
dience why he chose to become a
scientist rather than the classical stu
dent his father wanted him to be.
Speaking over a coast-to-coast net
work OF the National Broadcasting Co.,
the 16-year-old protege of the electrical
wizard said:
When I looked around for the thing
which made life most interesting. /
realized that science was the solution
for me.
Had Mr.. Edison specialized in the
classics, We would not have the electric
light, and, for that matter, would not
be talking to you over the radio this
evening. Certainly it wasn't the knowl-
edge of the siege of Troy which enabled
him to discover the radios basic prin-
ciples, or to invent the photograph. It
was his genius, first of ALL plus his
scientific training in which he learned
useful things"

OMMEN, Holland, Aug. 3.-Members
of the order of the Star In the East
who have been attending an inter-
national congress in a little city of
tents among the pines Of the Castle
Eerde estate, were taken completely by
surprise today when their leader. Jiddu
Krishnamurti,. young Brahmin, an
nounced dissolution of the order.
Krishnamurti, who a year ago identi-
fed himself with Buddha and Jesus
Christ as world teachers, had been
hailed by some who sat at his feet as
divinely inspired although others did
not agree.
In explaining his action today, he
said that the order had been preparing
for him 10 years and yet its members
were not willing to face the truth.
What then Is the use Of the organiza-
tion?" he asked. He declared that his
only work was to make men free and
that no organization was needed for
that THE truth needs no disciples.
1t wants nothing from any man. Only
few vii understand and they need no
organization"

LONDON, August 3.-London
was so interested in the selection
Of WILDER B. Houston by Thomas
Edison as his protege from the
picked candidates of every State,
that the Sunday Express inter-

Hand-to-mouth buying methods. now
common through the industrial world,
are nowhere having greater effect in
reducing stocks than in the field OF
bituminous coal. The Bureau of Mines
announces that on the latest date for
which survey is available, July /, COM
mercial stocks of bituminouS coal
amounted to SO, 100, 900 tons. This COM
pared with Al, 100000 tons year ago,
while If the records Of previous years
are considered, the same date has dis
closed stocks on hand running far above
&C, 600, 900 tons. The low point is al
ers of big lots feel that they can de-
pend on regular transportation and UNI

About the only point Of increased

Big city banks are markedly engaged
at this time in cutting down the pro-
portion of loans made on collateral, ap-

rection of bank funds is disclosed by
the latest compilation Of the Federal
Reserve Board on member bank condl-
lions in 101 leading cities.
Between August 1 and August z. the
composite statement for these inStitu-
lions shows that national banks cut
their collateral loan total 9,000,0 900,
at the same time that they were in
creasing their total of other loans by
$50 .OOO. 900. This is the first decrease
noted in the total of security loans for

BY CLINTON COFFIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

European nations, except in two re-
spects, are considerably behind the
United States in matters relating to
commercial utilization Of aviation pos
sibilities. This is the conclusion an
nounced by william p. MacCracken, lr
Assistant Secretary of Commerce Tor
Aeronautics; Upon his return to service
after an interesting inspection OF the
aviation situation across the Atlantic.
Those two points, though, are worth
very considerable attention." he OBJ
served in discussing his findings. 1T
seems to me that one European air
port, the Tempelhoff, outside OF Ber-
lin, is finer than anything We can show
in the United States and .tter f1tteo
in every respect to heighten CONNER
cial utilization of aircraft. In the hrSt
place, 1t is close to great city, with
the best of underground ana surface
transport connections. 1t has accom-
modationS to suit thousands OF people
a good and a big hotel. Every phase
of it's functions are finely fitted for its
purpose.
Next, the most impressive air ma
chimes yet constructed are the 10O-pas-
senger flying boats of the Dox type OF
the Dornier Co. didn't see them In
service, because they were unfinished,
but the inspection did give them gave
rise to the conviction that a new trans
port vehicle of great utility has been
designed and put under development. .
"AS to the rest of the situation, most
informed Europeans themselves are
quite willing to concede that the palm
of superiority in civilian aeronautics
has passed to the United States. Mill
tary aviation is another matter. But
every commercial effort made abroad
has been related to a government sub
sidy. Here 1t has been the product OF
private and corporate enterprise, with
a flexibility and progress whose results
are unmistakable. European CONNER
cial flying services are now obviously
giving the American effort the maxi
mum characterization In every re-
spect of methods and practices worked
out in this country"
Primarily the Assistant Secretary'S
trip was made to enable him to express
tentative American Government views
on proposed revision of the interna-
tional common treaty relating to air
navigation. The United States is not
a party to the understanding, but has
associated in a Pan-American treaty
covering the same ground, and has
been interested in the movement to-
ward unified world standard.

 Tn the case of Alaska Pacific Fisheries, ct al, v. United States, 240 Fed. 274, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, laid down the rule that
 "The United States, as to the Territory of Alaska, eXercis- es all sovereignty, national and municipal, and hence, in view of the powers of the King over lands flowed by the tide, United States has complete control over Alaska waters flowed by the tide which are within it's maritime jurisdiction. CONSEQUENT LY THE PRESIDENT, IN VIEW OF HIS POWERS TO RESERVE PUBLIC LANDS, MAY, TO CAR KY OUT THE PURPOSE OF AN ACT OF CONGRESS RESERVE SUCH WATERS" In other words if it seems necessary to carry out the purposes of the Acts of Congress June 6, 1925 and June IS, 1926, the President may re- serve all tlse trap sites in Alaska, and place them under the man. agement and control of the Se- cretary of Commerce. And if the President should reserve such sites and the traps and fish caught thereon would not be subject to taxation or any levy of license tax or other control by the Territory of Alaska.
