LIGHT WITHOUT .1 POWER. CLAIM ! OF SCIENTIST Injuries in Mystery Crash i Delays Test of Device Before Experts. lir Press LOS ANGELES. Aug. 7.—Collapse of Dr. William George Schnell, young scientist who claims discovery of a method to capture light from the sun. today caused postponement of a demonstration for University professors, newspaper men and others.

The scientist's neck was broken *hen his car was forced to the curb and overturned. The other machine aped on. Dr. Schnell said he received several threatening letters prior to the accident and many others since. No Aid From Power His process of producing light Without the aid of power was said to represent a compound of certain minerals and oils which captured the sun's rays. Dr. Schnell said radium was an hctive principle in the compound, but denied the presence of phosphorus. The scientist said he will go to !Washington, D. C., to apply for patents. “In simple terms. I have discovered the atoms which compose the sun and I have incorporated them In my compound.” he said. “When this is exposed to the sun there is a natural affinity and light is regenerated in the compound. The Strength of the light can be regulated by changing the compound pnd by limiting the exposure.” Won't See It Shelved ‘ The principle was discovered Hvhile he was a student at the University of Colorado some years ago. He said that while working in the laboratory he noticed a certain mineral glowed in the dark after exposure to the sun. This led to lengthy tests after he fcompleted his studies at Colorado gnd in Dresden, Germany. Dr. Schnell was emphatic in his gesolve to see that his process is manufactured and placed on the market. “I regard this as my contribution lo humanity,” he declared. “And I shall not sell it only to see it ♦shelved.’ ” (AUTO AGENCY AWARDED J.

REPORT U. S. TO RECOGNIZE SOVIETREGIME Widespread Discussion in Diplomatic Circles of Europe Aroused. Bv United Press _ . BERLIN, Aug. 7,—Widespread discussion in diplomatic circles of the possibility of United States’ recognition of the Soviet government centered today on reported moves by Moscow authorities toward that end. Although various suggestions that American recognition of the Communist state was impending were considered premature, it was said on good authority that M. M. Litvinoff, the Russian foreign commissar, had proposed two weeks ago that the United States Chamber of Commerce organize a special mission to the Soviets. The proposal was said to have been made to two prominent American business men who were visiting in Moscow, who were told that it would be best if the mission were “headed by an outstanding American and former diplomat”—meaning Dwight W. Morrow, who will soon retire as ambassador to Mexico. The suggestion coincided with similar proposels at Williamstown, where Paul Scheffer, the Berliner Tageblatt's correspondent in the United States, reported to his newspaper that the Institute of Politics discussion of Russian affairs indicated the Soviel government would scon be recognized by Washington. Coincidentally, three United States senators—Burton Wheeler, Bronson Cutting and Alben Barkley—arrived in Berlin Tuesday night en route to Moscow, avowedly to study conditions there. REMODELING IS ORDERED Hasten Plans for Work on City Market Refrigeration Plant. Hastening of plans for remodeling city market refrigeration plant was ordered today by Charles R.
