Abstract
We consider the modification of Newton's gravity law in Dolgov's higher spi n models designed to compensate the cosmological constant. We find that the effective Planck mass is unacceptably large in these models. We also point out that the properties of gravitational waves are entirely different in t hese models as compared to general relativity.
