CAR EXPERTS TANGLE OVER DIESEL TESTS General Motors Engineer Finds Stern Opposition From Austrian Delegate. /*./ Krimer Hcrrirr WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—1s the time ripe for oil-burning Diesel engines to take the place of the gasoline power plants under the hoods of America’s 27,000.000 automobiles? Even prominent automotive engineers give opposite answers to this question. Colonel George A. Green, vice-president in charge of engineering of General Motors Truck Corporation, and Julius Kuttner, representing Oberhaensli Oil Engines of Austria, clashed on the subject before the national transportation meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers here. , Basing his conclusions on exhaustive comparative tests of one of the best heavy-duty Diesel engines now commercially available and on a gasoline engine having approximately the same displacement. Colonel Green declared that the Diesel has not been developed sufficiently to be applied with success to automobiles in this country. Lack of Acceleration The chief operating disadvantages, he pointed out, are lack of rapid acceleration or pick-up and the giving off or a dense cloud of black smoke when running at full load, which precludes the operation of the engine in crowded areas. Other reasons why Diesel engines would not, find a ready market were said to be higher first cost and maintenance, greater weight and size, roughness of operation and noise. In the discussion which followed the pesentation of Colonel Green's paper, Kuttner showed engineering curves made up fro mcomparative tests on six Diesel engines and six gasoline engines which, he said, indicate that the Diesels have greater acceleration than the gas-burning engines. He suggeseted that Colonel Green might have reached different conclusions had he run tests on a number of different engines. Better for Heavy Duty Colonel Green admitted that for heavy duty truck or coach operation Diesels will be satisfactory, except for smoking, and will result in marked fuel economy; but, he said, those who ride must be satisfied with less acceleration. Likewise the Diesel, with some other disadvantages, might be applied to passenger cars and trucks. But he contended that Americans have become so used to cars with a quick getaway that they will not tolerate those that are slower to speed up. “There is a splendid opportunity for Diesels in aircraft and marine work," Colonel Green said, “but further development is necessary before the Diesel engine can be satisfactorily exploited in this country as an automotive power plant.” If the use of the Diesel becomes widespread, the engine will lose one of its great advantages, namely, fuel economy, because the cost of the fuel would certainly increase, Colonel Green believes.

ATTACK ON ATOMS MAY PRODUCE GOLD California Scientists Experiment With Huge Electro-Magnet. Bn United Press BERKELEY. Cal., Oct. 31.—Two modern alchemists, scientists of the University of California, expected to perfect a method of breaking down the component parts of atoms and possibly transmute baser metals into gold, the California Monthly, alumni publication, revealed today. The scientists, Ernest O. Lawrence and Dr. M. Stanley Livington, base their hopes on experiments to be conducted with a huge electromagnet to be installed by next Christmas. The experiments will bo based upon already successful isolation ana collection of the protons, or nuclei,/ of hydrogen atoms, the monthly said. These protoms, under electric force, would be used as projectiles with which to break up the atoms of other elements.

DEPRESSION ON WANE, HOOVER TELLS NATION Hoarding Has Ceased, Gold Withdrawals Retarded, He Points Out ‘Happily.’

BY THOMAS L. STOKES I’nited Press Staff Corresi>ondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—President Hoover’s optimistic announcement of an improvement in the credit situation today served to bolster up confidence and strengthen the growing belief that the country has turned the corner toward recovery from the business depression. Hoarding of money has ceased, the President said. Bank failures are diminishing. Withdrawal of gold ;to foreign countries has slowed down. Prices of wheat and cotton are going up. | To these signs, other officials here ; today added an increase in the geftj eral commodity price level in the J last three weeks, a noticeable pick-

up in retail trade, a steadying of the stock market. The turn for the better has come, as was anticipated, since the President announced his financial relief program consisting of the National Credit Corporation as an immediate agency to clear up the jam of frozen bank assets and long-time measures to strengthen and broaden the credit structure by congressional action. The President gave credit to the program he formulated and laid before congressional leaders on Oct. 7 as did other officials here. It was l eft for President Hoover to express it. “I am happy to note the very great change which is evident in the credit situation since the announcement of Oct. 7,” the President said. “Evidence over the last week indicates that not only has hoarding ceased, but actually $24,000,000 of hoarded money has returned to the banks. The small bank failures have almost ceased —the last report showing only seven out of 20.000 total. Foreign exchanges are returned to a basis at which it is no longer advantageous to ship gold [ abroad. j “The pr/ctical effect of this re- ; covery is shown in an increase' in the price of wheat by 10 cents to 12 cents a bushel and cotton to sls ! to S2O a bale.”
