Professor Says World Peace, Happiness Within Power of Modern Chemist (By Associated Press) WILLIAMSTOWN, Aug. 4. International peace, Improved living conditions and betterment of the labor situation all lie in the hand of the chemist, as the servant of super-power, the Institute of politics was told today. R. T.

Haslam, professor of chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, pictured a future in which smokeless cities, without slums, would flourish under conditions of health and prosperity unknown today. Asserting that possession of oil is the principal present day national irritant, Professor Haslam said that chemistry, by perfecting: means for transforming coal into oil cheaply, would prove a great safeguard to world Such conversion of solid fuel to liquid fuel, by new chemical processes, he continued would result in 'the centralization of power and resulting decentralization of industry. In this development he saw a future in which cities would be uncrowded, In which power would be as obtainable in one spot as another, and in which an abundance of power would Increase manufacturing, efficiency and the living conditions of the laborer. "The ultimate goal," he said, "is the processing of coal into smokeless form, solid, liquid or gaseous, with all power centrally generated and distributed electrically. And the ultimate goal means a clean atmosphere In our cities, the opportunity of living in less congested districts, ready access of the city dweller to the country for recreation, urban advantages on the farm, and a general increase in the productiveness of every one."

The Roman Catholic Episcopate tonight announced receipt of a delayed telegram from the Holy See condemning the religious regulations In Mexico or any act by the Catholic authorities which might be Interpreted as acceptance of them.

Will Not Support Armed Uprising Recognition of the priests' right's as citizens is construed in some quarters as including a demand for the right to vote in civil elections which is denied in the present religious clauses of the constitution.

The archibishopric of the Roman Catholic church never will approve of armed uprising, but the church will "go to Calvary" if necessary in the present religious struggle In Mexico, Monsignqr Pashal Diaz, bishop of Tobasco and secretary of the national episcopate, today told the Associated Press.

"Just who is the manager in this family?" the correspondent asked, glaclng from Estelle to Jack and prepared to dodge either the for mer's watermelon or the latter's fa mous left hook In case the ques tion proved too bold. Estelle laughed musically.

"Does a family need a manager?" site demanded. "I didn't know fami lies had managers." "Well, is It true that you were responsible for Jack's break with Kearns?" "No, it isn't They say I was prejudiced against Kearns, but I haven't seen the man often enough to have any feelings one way or the other." "Kearns and I split up nine months ago, at which time we reached an understanding," Dempsey said. "There Isn't any bad feeling between them, I think," put in Mrs. Dempsey, while the champion returned to his watermelon. "I believe that if Jack thought Kearns could help him make money he would be willing to do business with him again.

Isn't that right, Jack?" The champion nodded in silent agreement "How do you like being your own manager? Don't you have a lot of trouble with all these injunctions and summonses and things that a manager could take care of for you?" "Oh, I don't pay any attention to those things any more," explained Dempsey. "When you've been through as many of them as I have I you don't let them worry you. Of course, if they had anything on you It might be different, but as long as you know in your mind that your hands are clean you don't need to pay any attention to them." Jack Disregards Newspaper Slaps The subject of uncomplimentary stories which have appeared in the press regarding the heavyweight came up next Dempsey laughed. "I don't read them any more," ho said. "If I started In worrying about what people write about me, there would be no end to It" "Well, I read them," Interrupted Estelle.

Across a big slice of watermelon. Jack Dempsey smiled at Estelle Taylor and Estelle Taylor smiled back at Jack and together they laid at rest a lot of false rumors about the heavyweight champion's affairs, his paraffins nose and his thoughts on the coming battle with Gene Tun-ney. An exclusive interview granted the United News correspondent this evening took place la the dining room of Dempsey's suite at the Ritr-Carlton, with Jack, Estelle and the hitter's mother, Mrs. Bertha Boylan, presenting as cozy a family group as one could find, even in circles where prizefighting is considered somewhat beyond the pale. The philosophy of a heavyweight boxing champion and of his wife and mother-in-law fell from their lips as naturally as if they were not the cynosure of neighboring eyes in this city which is rapidly working itself into a most unsea.

Estelle Wears Gay Pajamas An attractive figure in those gaily flowered pajamas which have become the accepted informal, hot weather costume of Hollywood, Mrs. Dempsey disposed emphatically of a rumor that she and Jack were about to separate. "To use Jack's expression, I'm burnt up by all that talk," said Estelle, between nibbles at her watermelon. "Naturally there is no truth in it." She and the champion exchanged reassuring glances.

The Dempseys arrived in New York this noon and will leave next week for White Sulphur Springs, where the champion will start active training for the fight with Tunney. In the meantime. Jack will call the boxing commission to ap ply fer a license, will sign articles with Tex P.ickard beneath the customary crossed flags while the photographers' flashlights boom, NEWS and VIEWS (Continued from Page One) something which corresponds to the make-up of the Senate at Washington.
