J., Mi r. 30 President Coolidge is really quite a talker and not nearly so tac turn as is generally believed, said Kdward T. Clark, secretary to the president, on a visit here last night. "When in the company of one who can give him information that he needs, the president as sumes the lead and permits his visitor little opportunity to talk except to answer questions," ex plained Mr. Clark. "When he finds the occasion, he shows that speech is no stranger to him. However, It is when he meets people who have no particular message that he earns the repu tation of silence. He is no parlor con vernation aliat." "He has learned to engage in wholesale handshaking without suffering the physical tortures that, for instance, the Prince of Wales did," continued Mr. Clark. "There is a secret in the art which is to grasp the other fel low's band before he has a chance to get youra. In other words, it Is better to squeeze thjn to be squeezed.

Washington, Mar. 30 i By the Associated Press 1 A communica tion asking for amplification of certain features of Pisidcnt Cool- dge's Tacna-Aiiea arbitration award probably will be presented the state department late today by Peru. After calling attention to re ports of Chilean atrocities that mhrtrt affect the result of the forth coming preblacite in the province, the communication will suggest that a native, constnbul-iry be or ganized to replace the present Chilean garrison, in Tacna-Arica until after the election. Note Courteous This will constitute the princi pal point to bo covered In the rep resentation which will be couched in courteous terms,, calculated to give no offense to the American government or reflect on the In tegrity of President Coolidg as arbitrator. Something of a sensation has de veloped over the note before hand because of the publication of crron eous reports that it already had bten delivered to the state depart ment secretly and that U was couched In language it unusual sharpness. There was a feeling of relief today when it became generally known In Lilin-Ameri-ean diplomatic quarters that no diplomatic step nt nil had been taken so far by the Lima, govern ment and that the published fore cast of the tonus of the communi cation was not authorized by the Peruvian embassy. The present Indications are that the note will not constitute a re fusal to abxle by President Cool idge's arbitration award nor con tain any "demands" for modifica tions. The officials in Lima are understood to realize that nothing would bo gnined by employing language offensive to tho Ameri can government or reflecting on the integrity of President Coolldge or General Pershing, who is to bead tho plebiscite commission.

UPON AWARD Levens Pleads for Law's Observance In Luncheon Talk 'l feel, that it is preferable to let a man get away who la com mitting a misdemeanor, rather than to violate the law in order to apprehend him," said State Pro hibition Commissioner Levens In a speech before the Salem cham ber of commerce this noon. Levens tpoke before a crowd which pack ea the dining room to capacity. lie. continued by pleading for greater respect for the law on the part of the public.
