ACTION SEEN PROBABLE French Premier's Vis Recalls Stay of MacDonald; Problems Are More Complex. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-(/P)- A reconciliation of divergent views as to the best method of preserving the peace of the world will be sought this week when Premier Laval of France crosses the thresh- old of the White House. With a possible ultimate result as far-reaching as any in diplo- matic history, President Hoover and the French premier will seek a mutual basis of thought on the political and economic problems which are corollaries df world peace. MacDonald's Visit Similar. Two years ago, Ramsey MacDon- ald, prime minister of Great Brit- ain, and the chief executive, in the solitude of the president's Virginia Camp, solved a problem. The solu- tion lead to the London naval con- ference and, eventually, to the lim- itation of the American British and Japanese naval forces. A fast-moving change in world affairs, however, now presents the president and the french states- man with problems far more com- plex than that of two years ago. Mr. Hoover has two primary sub- jects which he expects to discuss at length with the French premier. These are disarmament and the in- ternational economic situation, but he does not expect a solution of either to be recorded a day or a week after the departure of the French statesman. Secretary Stim- son has advised the president against the preparation of a fixed and definite plan for the conver- sations, but the chief executive is known to have some well defined thoughts on both problems. Separate Finance and Politics. S. S. ILE DE FRANCE-En route to New York, Oct. 20.-(P)-Premier Pierre Laval of France had in his pocket today two plans for discus- sion with President Hoover when he reaches Wahsington. Although he would not discuss them, it was learned they were prepared in collaboration with his experts and that they are outlined in such a way as to embrace both Kynoch Cites Modern Research Discoveries in Timber Preservation. "Wood is being modernized by research and, as a consequence, is finding extended and new spheres of usefulness which promise to compensate fully for its displace- [ment in those direetions in which displacement has occurred," Prof. William Kynoch of the forestry school, declared in a talk over ra- dio station WJR yesterday after- noon. It is possible to reduce the in- flammability of timber so that it can be held in the open flame of a gas stove without catching fire, Professor Kynbch stated. This is done by a recently developed fire- retardant treatment which is not excessively expensive. Wood used underground can also be treated by preservatives which render it immune from decay. The usefulness of wood, already very great, can be vastly increased, if we apply the same intensity of scientific study and the same in- genuity of invention which is ap- plied to other materials, Professor Kynoch said. "In cost, in ready availability, in ease of working with hand or ma- Historical Expert Shows Self to Be Immune to Ars Not only does he know 10,000 his- torical dates and 5,000 famous peo- ple intimately, but fame seems to have made him, to a certain de- gree at least, immune to arrest. Jack was discoursing of his fav- orite learned subjects in his usual learned manner at the entrance of Nickols Arcade the other night. Some 50 information-hungry apos- tles hung on every word, avidly learning for the twentieth time that Mr. Bonaparte died in the year 1821 or thereabouts. That was all right, but when the number cf eager apostles grew to 75 it became the business of the Ann Arbor police department, a representative of which approached the crowdeA arcade, sought out Jack, took him by the arm, and said something like, "Jiggers, Jack, people can't get through here .no more."

Financial and political proposals: have not been coupled together, it was understood, but are intended for cohideration separately. chine tools, in beauty, in liveabili- ty, wood possess a combination of advantages .which few other mate- rials can muster," Professor Kynoch continued. "In the possession of one advantage it is unique. It can be reproduced at will so that, given proper scientific management, of our woodlands, we can assure our- selves of a supply of desirable woods in perpetuity." Emineht Scientist Leaves Army Post; Comes to Michigan John Parke Finley, retired colonel of the United States army and emi- nent scientist, has returned to the University of Michigan. Colonel Finley graduated from Michigan State in 1873, and then studied law at Ann Arbor. He was born on North State Street in 1854, and served 42 years continuously in the army. At the present time Colonel Fin- ley is doing research work in mete- orology. He hopes to help establish a weather bureau at the university some time in the future. Usually Colonel Finley is in New York serv- ing as manager of the National Storm and Aviation Insurance bu- reau, and as consulting meteorolo- gist and statistician. Few alumni have filled more mil- itary and civil service appoint- ments. In foreign service Colonel Finley filled an important role at the American Embassy, Constanti- nople, in 1913-14. He was appointed by the Mohammedan chiefs as their main ambassador at the Turk- ish court, with the Malay-Arabic titles .of Tuan Maas and Vekil-I- Mutlach. Later the Turkish govern- ment decorated him. Last year Colonel Finley was giv- en a full page in "Who's Who in Science for 1930."

Mr. Kerl has just recently returned from a study of farming conditions in that country as a representative of the Interna- tional Association of Soil Science. The lecture will be illustrated by. slides. Mr. Kerl is an alumnus of the University, having received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1891. He later received a Bachelor of Laws degree at George Washington uni- versity and spent one year in soil studies at Cornell. He has traveled widely studying farming and social conditions in many lands. Mr. Kerl owns one of the largest farms in the world at Oakland, Ne- braska which covers approximately eight thousand acres. His farm es- tate at the resort of Lake Court d' Alene covers twelve hundred acres. He is primarily interested in fruit and wheat farming. He has lec- tured at Whitman and Idaho uni- versities. Mr. Kerl is appearing here under the auspices of the University his- tory department. Prof. Dow of that department stated yesterday that the Kerl lecture should prove par- ticularly interesting as it is not of- ten that University audiences are privileged to hear the farmer's viewpoint.
