PARIS, Jan. u.-Ardent French supporters of Aristide Briands pro- ject to form United States of Europe are finding powder for their contention tha t the federation should be political as well as econ omic in official documents of the League of Nations.
 It appears that Sir Arthur Salter director of the economic and finan- cial section of the League of Na- tions, who recently lectured in the United States, has distributed to interested friends ej>andum in which he insists thatEEle pro- posed United States of Europe must be a political reality or it never can be an economic reality. Sir Arthur Salter wrote:
 We cannot conceive the estab- lishment of European customs union in a reasonably near future unless there is in existence a po- htical situation which would not be very far removed from a political federation of the European states. "
 With Foreign Minister Briand si- lent concerning the memorandum which he has been asked to pre- pare on his subject, Louis Lou cheur, the French Minister of La bDr urh0 is kaap clpportar Of the confederation idea. has come out in statement which expresses his conviction that to organize Flu rope as an economic unity should be the first goal for the movement for the creation of the United States of Europe.

 This proposal died with formal rejection by the United States as a possible basis of new naval limita- ton negotiations

WORLDS GREAT POWERS HOPE TO CUT ARMS
 COMPETITION AT COMING LONDON CONFERENCE
By KIRKE SIMPSON

VA. 1T. FtlluIt StTVlCS NE--tIj
 WASHINGTON, Jan. II. IT h e fourth attempt since 1921 to elimi- nate all competitive building among the five chief naval powers will be undertaken at the Lcndon confer ence January 2l.
 Each of the preceding efforts failed because of conflicting views among the governments as to the type and number of cruisers or submarines each felt it needed
 The strongly held French view, hat naval armaments cannot be ,reated separately but must be con-
 idered for limitation purposes in my final treaty in conjunction with and arnaments was an added com )lication
 At the original Washington naval limitations conference, called by President Harding in 1921, the five powers-Great Britain, the United States, Japan, France and Italy found little difficulty in negotiating a treaty to curb competitive build ing in battleships and airplane car riers.
 Large Fleets Planned
 Only Great Britain, the United States and Japan had or planned extensive battleship fleets. Tho ratio of relative strength in these heavy ships was then fixed at 5-5-3 1.75-1.75 for the five countries in the order named
 The only part to become effec- tive upon ratification was the 5-3 ratio in battleships between the United States and Japan.
 Reduction of the British battle ship fleet to reach parity with the United States was provided for af- ter term of years. It would be at through working out of the schedules for replacement of obsolete battleships.
 Both France and Italy were far below the relative strength in bat tleships provided for them Neither. country as yet attempted to build up to it's ITS ration in that regard.
 British invitations to the five powers for a new attempt to apply both relative limitations of fleets and reduction of tonnage to other types of war craft, such as cruisers, submarines and destroyers, reopen only one phase of the subjects cov- cred by the Washington treaty.
 Replacement Question
 That is the question of replace ment of capital ships It is pro- posed as result of preliminary conference between Great Britain and the United States, to postpone replacements beyond the dates for each country set down in the Washington treaty and now rapidly approaching for Great Brit ain, the United States, and Japan.
 No objection on the part of the other three powers to this sugges- ton has been indicated.
 The effort of the Harding admin istration to obtain complete naval limitation in 1921 -'22 was baked by a dispute between Great Britain and France

In addition to the widespread public approval which has greeted the advent of free wheeling in the new series President and Comman- der Flights, automobile editors throughout the country give free wheeling their enthusiastic endorse ment, according to F.. J. Albro, Studebaker dealer here. Free wheeling with positive gear control. introduced to America for the first 'time by Stude baker. is manufactur- eI under Studebaker patents.
 Commenting on the novel inno- vation. editors accord full recogni- ton to the many advantages which free wheeling makes availa ble to the American motoring world.
 Through Studebaker. the American automobile industry has taken another step toward the per feet motor car says the New York Sun. This inbuit improvement Gree wheeling) provides a novel sensation in riding and driving which cannot be enjoyed Tn the conventional car. We know. because we spent an afternoon getting ac- qUainted with these Presidents and Commanders with their free wheel ing feeling. There is nothing com plicated or mysterious about free wheeling. The method of operation is simple and easily mastered"

 GIVEN BIG LEGACY

 Wills Terms Provide

Storrs. Aug. Ii - Establishment of a school of practical farming is being considered by trustees of Con- necticut Agricultural College who have available under the terms of the will of Radcliffe Hicks of Tol- land, q fund of 230000o for this pur- pose. Hicks died 21 years ago. in Berne, Switzerland, and in his will made provision that his estate be allowed 10 accumulate 25 years be- fore being applied 10 the use Of the school. It is estimated that the sum may eventually reach $L25NOoQ.
 According 10 the Mcriden Trust Company. which is oNocutor Of the estate. the school must be establish ed in Holland County and the ex- ecutors must be represented on the schools governing body, Trustees of the fund recently approached the college trustees offering 10 build the school provided for by Mr. Hicks on the Storrs campus and a majority of the college trustees are cnthUsi- astic over the prospect
 College trustees, however, have deferred further discussion of the offer until the arrival of Dr. Charles Chester McCracken. the new presi- dent. It is the theory Of the trustees that they cannot grant use Of col loge land for the building without special legislation. They expect to ask this authority at the n"Xt Ecner- al assembly. It is also believed that special legislation would be needed If the trustees desire 10 disburse any

New Wheel Equipment
 On New Chevrolet Six

Further Individuality in the selection of a car in the low priced field was made possible with the announcement that wire or disc wheels are now optional equipment. without extra cost, on new Chevro- let Six passenger cars.
 Formerly disc wheels were standard equipment except for sport models, on which wire wheels were mounted at the factory. Since the latter part of July, all passen- ger models are being shipped with wire wheels, while disc wheels also are being built to accomm odate those purchasers who prefer this type.
 The new wheel equipment is fin ished in a wide variety of colors to harmon with the body trim of the nine different body models. The extensive color com binations used or the bodies plus the added color harmones available on the new wheels, will mean that the pur- chaser of a car in the low priced field will be able to obtain greater individuality in his car than was possible heretofore. Last week the Chevrolet Motor company complet- cd the two millionth Chevrolet.

Vatican City, Aug. Il (UP)-Thc crusading methods of the American International college, Methodist organization at Montemario on Rome's outsgirts, was characterizei as "underhanded" in an article ap- bearing in the newspaper Osservd- tore Romano, official Vatican organ.
 The article was a bitter criticism of the propaganda" methods of the college, and the newspaper alleged that difficulties were placed in the way of Catholic students attending Sunday mass from the school, since there was none to accompany them as required by college regulations.
 Tn college where receptions are given which Protestant girls attend, where there are cinema shows witn their usual falsifications against the papacy, and where swimming is in- dulged in with ultra modern con- captions, the newspaper said the question of surveillanc. seems sec ondary when it comes to fulfilling an act of devotion"
 The newspaper also accused the committee of cvangeIists of the church had sought to introduce evangelical propaganda in the devastated areas of the recent south- ern Italian earthquake zone.
 It was recalled here that Pope Plus NI. in his last secret consstory, condemned Protestant proselyting, and urged the construction of ad- ditional churches in Rome and suburbs
