PARIS (UP) Contending thst
Em He Cohl, ao-yesr old French art
ist. Is the , real creator of animated
screen .drawings, the French press
had adopted an sir of Injured dig
nlty in regard to the naming of Walt
Disney, father of Mickey Mouse, as
Knight ox tne French Legion of
Honor. t '
Several French Journalists have
banded together to right "this In
justice" snd to give Em He Cohl the
"honor, financial recompense and
security against old age that la his
right." Various stories, i dwelling
chiefly on the tear-filled eye and
trembling voice of the white-haired
artist, bewail the fact that his pio
neer work has been forgotten.
Two sketches, primitive In style,
Illustrate one of the defensive sn
ides. Cohl, who named his charac
ters "The Pantoches," made sketchy
black and white drawings In which
arms and legs were indicated' by
scanty lines without any of the clever
detail work shown In the Disney
drawings.
Interviewed recently, the veteran
artist explained, "I had been suc
cessful In newspaper work and fell
Into cinema work by a streak of
luok, having got my Inspiration for
cinema cartoons from an advertising
signboard X happened to pass In the
street.
"I sold my Idea to a film director,
who first made fun of me and then
gave me a contract. I made still
drawings for a while and then got
the Idea of making an animated car
toon for the screen. I had much suc
cess between 1908 end 1913, when I
was called to America, where other
people began to copy my work. The
war came along and I returned to
Prance, where I found that I could
get no financial backing. I threw up
the sponge. I had to live.
"I have made a living, but Z shall
protest to the last against those who
disregard the truth, and refuse to
admit that I am ,the first to create
animated drawings for tne cinema.
What people thought was a joke at
first has given something fine and
noble to the cinema. I don't expect
recognition, for France always has a
tendency to recognize her artists and
scholars only when they are resting
beneath marble stones."
Although the artist feels that he
has been abused both by Prance and
the United States, and that his orig
inal crude animated cartoons have
been . Ignored, he will receive recom
pense from friends and journalists,
who will make sure of his comforts
for the rest of his life. -,

EUGENE, Ore., March 30. (AP)
Ralph Williams reconsidered and will
be a candidate for re-election as Re
publican national committeeman for
Oregon, he notified Ben Dorr Is. Lane
county candidate for the same posi
tion.
Don-in, who went into the race only
after Williams said he would not be a
candidate, will stay In the race.
1 cannot turn back now," said
Dorrls, "My papers were filed some
weeks back. A great many prominent
and active Republicans have assured
me of their support.
Dorrls said Williams wired that he
was sincere when he stated recently
he would not be & candidate, but
changed his mind In view of the
widespread draft movement In his behalf."
Spring began officially at 10 :58
this morning. '
It Is a popular understanding that
spring begins March 21 and that Is
very nearly correct. Meteorologists
and astronomers, however, are much
more precise, and are not satisfied
with anything that Is not absolutely I
correct. Any meteorologist or astron
omer worth his salt will not tolerate
generalities. Although they deal with
infinite time and space, they do not
hesitate to split a second or divide
millimeter.
Bo the eminent scientists atate
that precisely at 10:58 this morning,
Pacific standard time, spring began.
At that moment the sun crossed the
equator on Us swing to the north.
That Is the vernal equinox.
Today the sun strikes all parts of
the earth from pole to pole. Every
where It rises due east and sets due
west. Everywhere It Is above the
horizon 12 hours.. ,
In winter the sun appears low In
the south, but in summer la very
high. This is due, scientist explain,
to the earth's annual trip around
the sun and the fact that the pole
tips 23 degrees from an upright
orbital position. Prom December to
June the sun's dally path across the
sky gradually moves farther north.
Ancient methods allowed the be
ginning of spring to wander widely
throughout the calendar. Leap years
were finally adepted as a means of
keeping the vernal equinox near a
flxod date.
