UARDING AFRAID OF INTERPRETATIONS’ ON HIS SPEECHES Revamps Plans for Western Trip to Avoid Newspaper Write-ups, By United Press WASHINGTON. May 12.—President Harding, himself a newspaperman. is afraid of the newspapers. That is the reason he has revamped plans for his Western trip and intends to make at least half of it by water. Mr. Harding Is not afraid of having the newspapers carry’ a complete and faithful report of what he does, where he goes and what he says. He Is afraid, however, of having the straight news oi i is trip "interpreted" by special writers and others, so that the Journey will take a political significance which Mr. Harding is determined it shall not assume. That is the reason he is going to cut In half his speaking tour. The President knows that, in addition to the straight news of his trip and speeches, a great deal would be written about other features—whether he was enthusiastically received: whether he was more or less popular now. He fears every time a well known Republican goes to the train to greet him, it would be made a political conference. CAR INSPECTOR KILLED William A. Grayson Falls Between Moving Cars.
