NEW MOTOR FUEL
PROMISED SOON
May Be Cheaper Than Gas,
Scientists Perfecting
Formula Say.

MIAMI, Fla, October 1s--First au-
thentic information has been released
here by DR.. Lionel R. Packard regard
ing experiments with a new motor
fuel which he and his associates be-
ueve will revolutionize the industrial
world.
Secret formula and other data re-
sarding the fuel were taken IN ar
mored trucks to the Washington Pat
ent Office last week.
To quiet rumors and as matter OF
personal safety. DR.. Packard and MS
associates said, a public statement was
being made now regarding the fuel,
which, it is said may be far cheaper
than gasoline and is not from a pc
troleum base.
Packard'S Associates.
DR.. Packard, who holds a degree OF
doctor of chemical science from the
University of Berlin and is graduate
OF Columbia University, has as his as
sociates Howard NJ Bell, also a Co.
lumbia graduate and former teacher,
and H L. Tareyton, World War aVia-
tor and more recently director and
technician in the motion picture in
duStry.
The three are aboard Bells 65-foot
schooner, the Storm Along. at anchor
in Miami Harbor According to Bell,
they sought safety and privacy aboard
the boat after Dr. Packard's rooms,
both in Miami and in New Orleans,
were ransacked several times by un-
known persons who, they say, have
followed their every move for many
months. 1t was for their protection,
they said, that they are making pub
lie the announcement that patent ap-
plications have been filed and all data
legally safeguarded in Washington.
Development of the new motor fuel
for commercial exploitation is said to
be only in the experimental stage. For
the next few weeks DR.. Packard Will
experiment with new gas. which he
will not admit is connected with the
motor fuel. in stratospheric eXplora-
ton. Instruments attached to bal
looms will be sent aloft. probably from
Miami and are expected to reach as
yet unexplored heights.
Industrial Change Seen.
Convinced the new motor fuel. if
perfected, will work basic industrial
change, Bell said one of their greatest
concerns is that it will be brought into
general use to the greatest possible
public advantage and with the least
damage to existing industry. Bell said
that only social minded persons would
be intrusted with power of future con-
troll of their secrets.
Packard, following his studies in
Berlin, went with the WadSworth ex-
pedition into the Cobb Desert as
chemical adviser and for three years
was with large radium corporation.
Packard was almost killed during
his experiments when an explosion
occurred several years ago which
broke two vertebrae in his neck, both
arms and leg. He has been carry
ing on his experiments for the last
nine years.

NEBRASKA'S CORN CROP

Anderson, State and Federal crop
statistician, reported today that Ne
braska's corn crop may amount only
to 1.9 bushels an acre, about one-third

Western Nebraska counties reported
the condition of the crop as 225 per
cent of normal, Southwestern Ne
braska as rs per cent, Northwestern
as per cent-and Southwestern as
0.4 per cent.
Aside from the corn in these
regions, there will be some in the

tions and some in scattered localities
It is the nearest to being a complete
failure of any corn crop ever pro-
duced in the State, officials said.

trees and to evergreens or arbor
vitae. DR.. L. A Stearns, entomol-

the intensity of their attack to be
only natural, holding that the crest
in this area had not yet been
reached. He predicted that next

have wondered why the work could

plains that the heavy rains of this

work. Another important factor
is the pouring Of the top coat
which must be applied under high

the present weather continues it
will be ideal for the final work and
should make a very good job. When
