Hugh Wilson would remain in
the United States indefinitely,
the German foreign office today
indicated that similar procedure
would be adopted upon the re-
turn here Of DR.. Hans DECK

the United States. DIR. DECK
hOff is now en- route to Germany

G.N.S) Americas Ambassa-
dor to Germany, Hugh R. Will
son, will remain in Washington
Indefinitely and will be reas-
signed to the State Department
as an advisor, Acting Secretary
of State Sumner Welles an
nounced today.
Welles' statement was the first
official admission that the per-
emptory summons which brought
wilson home from his Berlin post
as an American protest to NaSi
~
Germany's persecution OF racial
and religious minorities would
keep him from returning to Ber-
lin. .
Welles said Ambassador Wilson
will 60 to Warm Springs, Ca. to-
night to make a personal report
on conditions in Germany to
President Roosevelt.
When Wilson returns to Wash
ington, Welles said, he will be as
signed to the department for duty
as an advisor on German affairs.
Welles was careful to explain
that Wilson will retain his capac-
dty as ambassador to Germany
and that no change in that direc-
ton is being made at present.
Unusual Action
But it was admitted privately
that the assignment Of a visit
ing ambassador to duty IN the
State Department as an advisor Is
unusual"
Welles conferred with Wilson
this morning, but said he was un-
able to discuss the nature OF their
talk, Nor was he able to say
lust how long Wilson will remain
at Warm Springs. But it was IN
dicated that Wilson's visit will be
of sufficient length to give the
President complete fill-in on the
entire trend Of events in Germany
during the Ii months in which
Wilson has been in the Nazl capl'
tai.
Talks With Dunn
Wilson also conferred with
other officials at the State De
partment following his talk with
Welles, These included James c.
Dunn, the departmental political
advisor on European affairs, and
Pierrepont Moffat, chief OF the
European division.
Ambassador Wilson returned TO
this country on the liner Manhat-
tan yesterday. He had time for
a brief conference with Secretary
of State Cordell Hull, who sailed
a short time later as chief U. s.
delegate to the Inter-Amer1can
Conference at Lima, Peru.

VATICAN CITY, Nov. 20

ageous after a pain-wracked night,
Pope Plus rose from his sick-bed
today for a brief period.

fered a heart attack that nearly
ended his life, insisted upon be-
ing taken to his private library.
There he received Eugenio Car.
dinal Pacelli for brief audience.
His Holiness received the papal
secretary Of state less than an
hour after dispensing with the
oxygen tent, in which he was
placed yesterday, and being placed
in o movable bed.
Ignores Protests
After this change was made.
Plus stubbornly commanded that
he be taken to the private library
on the floor below his sick room
so that he might talk with Car
dinal Pacelli, one Of his most
noted aides.
When . high prelate in the
papal encourage demurred, saying:
you must be careful" the Holy
Father replied CURLY:
"Better q vacant chair than .
Pope who does not fulfill the
functions Of q Pope"
Previously a bulletin had been
issued at HAS a. m. which con-
cealed the discomfort the Pope
must have experienced.
This announcement stated:

Rapidly increasing use Of tinted
eyeglasses by motorists for both day
driving and protection from headlight
glare at night lends particular interest
to revelations just made by the Ma
tional Bureau Of Standards under tho
forbidding title Of Spectral transmits
sive properties and use of colored eye
protective glasses" In the technical
findings OF this Federal laboratory in
washington is to be found a note
OF warning against indiscriminate
selection Of these adjuncts to vision,
certain types Of which may ultimately
prove more deleterious than protective,
1t becomes apparent.
Already the question has attained
sufficient Importance to motorists to
have received the attention Of the
National Safety Council, and the
Bureau Of Standards now attempts to
correct some misconceptions regarding
the advantages, disadvantages, endur-
ing benefits, or injuries resulting from
wearing tinted lenses.
Perhaps second only in importance
to the ability Of the eye to focus a
clear image on the retina," assert
w. w. Coblentz and Ralph Stair, who
conducted the bureaus investigation,
'is its power to automatically adjust
the illumination, within a relatively
short interval OF time, SO as to see
objects, under wide range OF light
intensities, with practically constant
distinctness and comfort" This i'm
portance, in the case of drivers, is
only too apparent when disaster on
the highway befalls a driver through
inability to see quickly and correctly.
Unfortunately" continue the bureau
experts, this adjustment is not instan-
taneous, as We strikingly preceive on
entering brightly illuminated room
after being outside on a dark night,
or on going into the dark from a
brightly lighted room. Hence, there
is need OF means of quickly shielding
the eye from sudden exposure to high
intensities Of illumination, such as
are encountered in driving at night"
The National Safety Council recently
reported that survey discloses various
authorities are unanimous in the belief
that the advantage of reducing glare
from headlights by wearing dark
glasses is more than counterbalanced
by the extra hazard arising from the
decreased visibility, which, at best,
is Of low order For use on the
highway, say these authorities, colored
glasses should be standardized for
driving In the daytime and not used
at night.

DIESEL ENGINES DROP WEIGHT
Recent Development of Motor Brings Noted Advance
ment-Night Driving and
Tax News

States heretofore, although attempts
In this direction have been made in
Europe. The result OF the development
Is q Diesel engine that is considerable
smaller and lighter than any other
American Diesel. In fact, one model
Of the engine actually weighs few
pounds less and Is four inches shorter
than standard automotive gasoline
engines OF comparable horsepower.
Hitherto the excessive size and weight
OF Diesels has been one Of their prin-
cipal disadvantages.
The two-cycle principle permits
smaller and lighter construction be-
cause each piston does approximately
twice as much work in a given time
as does each piston in a four-cycle
engine. Every down stroke of the
piston in a two-cycle engine is work
stroke while only every other down
stroke OF the piston in . four-cycle
engine Is work stroke
In the four-cycle engine, two Of
the four movements Of the piston
must be used for clearing the cylinder
OF burned gases and sucking in q
new charge Of air. One Of the great
didiculties in applying the two-cycle
principle to Diesel engines heretofore
has been this problem of scavenging
and getting in fresh charge. This
problem has been accomplished with
q unique arrangement called "uniflow
scavenging."
Small holes are drilled In the bottom
OF the cylinder walls. A root blower
keeps q charge Of compressed air
against these holes at all times. When
the piston comes down to the bottom
Of the cylinder, after an explosion,
1t uncovers the holes. At the same
time exhaust valves open in the top
OF the cylinder. The compressed air
rushes through the holes in the bottom
OF the cylinder and forces the burned
gas out Of the exhaust valves at the
top Of the cylinder. At the same time
the compressed air forces a new
charge Of clean air in on the heels Of
the burned gas that has been driven
out. When the piston starts back up
the exhaust valves close, the piston
covers up the holes at the bottom of
the cylinder and as the piston travels
on upward the air is trapped and
compressed to the necessary 16-to-1
ratio.
Fleets Of buses using the Diesel
engine already are in operation in
Boston, Mass, and in New Jersey
and deliveries soon will start on fleets
for service in New York City and
