LEAGUE SEES WAR STARTED. (Copyright, 193?. Dy the Associated Press.) GENEVA, October 3.—The dreaded war between Italy and Ethiopia started today, in the view of the League of Nations, with official Ethio pian reports of an Italian air bom bardment of Ethiopian villages and a battle raging in Agame province. The Council Commltte of Thirteen met suddenly to discuss the emergency which had arisen. Its members were expected to confer frequently until Saturday, when a report will be sub mitted to the League Council. That a state of war existed, if not officially declared, was considered by League officials to be evident in a message from the government of Premier Mussolini, referring to “the warlike and aggressive spirit" fo mented by leaders of Ethiopia "who have long been demanding war with Italy and who have succeeded in im posing wTar.” Council Meets Saturday. The League Council was officially convoked for an emergency session Saturday morning to deal with the conflict. Both Italian and Ethiopian dele gations will be invited to attend the Council session, Italy because she is a member of the Council and Ethiopia because she has a right to sit tempo rarily as a member during the discus sion of the dispute. The grave problem now has arisen as to whether it is practicable to pro ceed with the drafting of recommen dations for the settlement of the dis pute. It is the Council itself which must decide this point. Certain circles showed a tendency to press for a clear and official de termination of war guilt—in other words, for a determination of whether Italy or Ethiopia is to be held re sponsible for aggression. Three-Month Delay Decreed. Article XII of the covenant says League members “must agree in no case to resort to war until three months after an award by the arbi trators or a report by the Council.” This agreement was interpreted by League officials to mean that neither Italy nor Ethiopia could legally resort to war for three months after the Council makes a decision on the dis pute. League officials said they believed Italy would argue before the Council that she was not engaged in a war of conquest, but, rather, in a war of defense. The Italian message, signed by Fulvio Suvich, undersecretary for for i eign affairs, asserted Ethiopia’s ag 1 laos» rm$\ MiPP^ ROOSEVELT PARTY

In a stormy hearing before the Agri cultural Adjustment Administration today. Senator Bailey and Representa tive Warren, both North Carolina Democrats, demanded that the Agri culture Department enforce the potato control act. which Secretary Wallace said yesterday he would try to "avoid” enforcing. Almost 600 farmers applauded Warren, author of the act. as he charged Wallace with "nullification'’ and a few' minutes later broke into cheers when Bailey insisted on being heard to argue that the Warren act was mandatory.

HELD ILLEGAL Opinion of Court, Involving $3,000,000, Observes Amendment Date. By the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY. October 3 Federal District Judge Merrill E. Otis held today the agricultural adjustment act became constitutional only on August 24, the date it was amended by Con gress. Judge Otis’ memorandum opinion on the act involved $3,000,000 in processing taxes. Prior to August 24. said the judge, the act was invalid and the processing tax illegal because of an unauthorized delegation of legislative (taxing) power. “The rates now in force, therefore,” Judge Otis declared, "are the rates fixed by Congress, and not the rates fixed by the Secretary of Agriculture (Henry A. Wallace).” He ordered temporary Injunctions held by 24 Western Missouri millers, meat packers and tobacco manufac turers against Internal Revenue Col lector Dan M. Nee dissolved as of August 24 and thereafter. "Congress,” Judge Otis wrote in the first Federal Court ruling on the A. A. A. since enactment of the amendments, “could not legally dele gate to the Secretary of Agriculture the power to legislate (including the power to fix taxing rates) for the United States. “Therefore, since the power of rati fication by Congress is governed by the law of agency, it cannot legalize taxing rates which, in the first in stance, it could not have authorized the Secretary to fix.” notice that he would not "take orders from any one whatsoever." "I do not like this idea of a repre sentative of a bureau telling a repre sentative of the people how he shall conduct himself before a bureau," Bailey added. Bailey got into the discussion when John B Hutson. A. A. A. director, replied to Warren's "nullification charge" by saying that the hearing was not called for consideration of the potato act. but to consider other means of handling the problem. Bailey arose and said he wanted to ask Hutson some questions, but Nve told him under the rules of the hear ing he would have to direct his ques tions to the presiding officer.

MONTREAL, October 3—Officials of the Canadian Pacific Steamship Co. said today that the liner Duchess of Atholl was proceeding under her own steam to Liverpool after an 18 hour delay west of Ireland because of damaged steering apparatus.

MRS. MUENCH MAY TAKE STANOTODAY Stsels Self to Fight State Charge of Major Role in Kidnaping. *y the Associated Press. MEXICO, Ohio. October 3—Attrac tive Mrs. Nellie Tipton Muench, who once traveled in the social circles of St. Louis, today steeled herself to fight in Circuit Court here a State assertion that she was “fingerwoman” in the 1931 kidnaping of Dr. Isaac D. Kelley, wealthy St. Louisan. Prosecutors concluded yesterday what they contended was an authentic recital of Mrs. Muench's part in the aociety kidnaping. Her attorneys argued in vain to demur the State’s ease out of court, so today the red haired defendant prepared her story. The dozen defense attorneys de clined to reveal their defensive plan, but indicated Mrs. Muench. pictured by the State as an alternate companion of society and the underworld, would take the stand in her own defense. "In Highly Nervous State.” Pross T. Cross, of defense counsel. Bald it was likely Mrs. Muench would testify, but added: ’’She is in a highly nervous state and we can’t tell now.” State witnesses testified that Mrs. Muench. sister of a State Supreme Court justice, sat In on underworld conferences where the kidnaping of Dr. Kelley was plotted, suggested him as a victim, and agreed to obtain in formation necessary to the abduction. It was testified she was present at a fashionable dinner party where Dr. and Mrs. Kelley were guests of honor, ostensibly to ascertain the doctor's habits, and that, during the time Dr. Kelley was held by abductors, she en tertained in her home Angelo Rose grant, later convicted in the kidnap ing. Unmoved by Charges. Throughout the testimony Mrs. Muench, central figure in two court room dramas in widely separated parts of Missouri, took without signs of emotion the mounting accusations of State witnesses. She is being tried here on a change of venue. In St. Louis County a Pennsylvania servant girl has claimed as her illegitimate son an infant whose birth Mrs. Muench announced six weeks ago as "a gift of God." The servant. Anna Ware, contended In a habeas corpus proceeding that her son was being held by Mrs. Muench and her husband. Dr. Ludwig O. Muench, with the intention of “palming it off on the public as their own.” The Muenches were childless through 22 years of married life. LORTON MAN DIES OF ESCAPE WOUND Shot by Prison Tower Guard Is Fatal to Claude W. Bailey, in Dash With Brother. Claude W. Bailey. 42. Lorton Re formatory prisoner, died yesterday in Gallinger Hospital of complications resulting from a bullet wound in the leg inflicted by a prison tower guard on September 17, when Bailey tried to escape in a taxicab in which his brother. John Bailey, was sitting. According to Lorton authorities, the prisoner made a dash for the cab when it pulled up near a plumbing job where he was working outside the prison walls. The guard. Wick Clag gett, called to him to halt and when he failed to do so first fired tw'o shots from a rifle in front of the prisoner. As Bailey continued toward the cab. the guard then fired a third shot, which hit him in the leg. John Bailey and the cab driver, Joseph Crver, were detained by Lor ton authorities and later the case was turned over to the Department of Justice for investigation. Subse quently, it is said, the taxicab driver was found to have had no part in the planned get-away. Claude Bailey had been serving since last May on a sentence of from 9 to 18 months for illegal use of a emoke screen. Elwood Street, public welfare direc tor, said the guard acted in line of duty and no investigation is contem plated.

Cobb Roosevelt Country Only Over Orators’ Heads.

What’s What Behind News In Hoover’s Secret Political Machine a Myth, But He Knows a Lot. BY PAUL MALLON. ALO ALTO. Calif.. October 3 Mr. Hoover is not a candidate and will not be one. What he is, and will be in ’36. is a political and economic leader, an in fluential one. His friends say he has retired, but, of course, he has not. Even he may assume that he has retired, but it is physically impossible for a man of his temperament to do so. At least not in the sense that Calvin Coolidge sat down on his Northampton porch, ordered some good cigars and, with his feet on the rail, watched the world go past. What has happened to Mr. Hoover is that he has become again the man he was as Secretary of Commerce, when, unworried and alert, he knew practically every thing of importance that was going on, or likely to go on, in the world. The ex-President's personal outlook cannot be known officially. He gives no publishable interviews. But he talks freely with many friends, and they know that the view from his study window toward the world of politics is substantially this: For 23 years, before he left the White House, he never had been out of a pressing administrative or execu tive job. He carried his troubles to bed with him and arose to face them again in the morning. Now, for the first time in his life, he has no trou bles. He can go fishing whenever he wants to, and he ran play. The White House to him is a house haunted with troubles and man-killing responsibilities. No man of his posi tion, in his right mind, w-ould ever want to give up the enjoyment of life and return to them. Vindication might be sweet, but life is sweeter. Information His Hobby. The secret of Mr. Hoover which the country does not understand is the type of playing he has chosen to enjoy. Before he entered the White House, he had one hobby. He amused himself by trying to find out every thing that was going on in economics, finance and business. As Secretary of Commerce he was the best news source in Washington. He could tip you on what development was likely to occur next in Russia, in I the coal strike, in Wall Street. He had lines out everywhere, personal contacts extended beyond those of any other man in the country. His home and office were open forums for I people who knew what was going on. 1 When he entered the White House i he changed all that. The responsi bilities of immediate duties closed up the old avenues. These have been reopened. To day Mr. Hoover is again one of the best informed men in the coun try. He knows what is going on nearly everywhere. And he has added politics to the subjects in which he is interested. There probably are more erroneous stories going around the country about Mr. Hoover than about President Roosevelt, The latest is that he has set up a gigantic political organization, secretly, and, when the right time comes, he will emerge as the next Re publican standard bearer. Nothing could be sillier. Oust wait UNTIL TMATS UNCOVERiO/ agrHoovfRs mGIGANTIC ^POLITICAL's machine^! tS it m'i Any one traveling across the country, talking with Republican and Demo cratic leaders, will fail to find any evi dence of a Hoover political organiza tion. There is none. Even Mr. Hoover's best friends are talking of other candi dates. He has contacts, but not ag gressive personal support. An Unskilled Politician. Furthermore,’ Mr. Hoover is one cf the worst politicians who ever sat in the White House. He never ran for a public office, except the presidency. Es sentially, politics is not his game. To get the background of the Palo Altoan you have to get a glimpse of his study. It has wide windows like a showcase, looking out over the Stan ford campus and at the brown moun tain ridge beyond, the peak of which is Mount Diablo. There is a large stone fireplace into which Mr. Hoover casts cigar stubs. His desk is clean. No let ters lie around from day to day. The incoming mail is large. Farmers and other people who do not know him write of their experiences and troubles. Prominent business men and politicians communicate with him also and always look him up when on the coast. They are served orange juice and a cigar. They find him looking 10 years younger than when he left the White House, warmer, more friendly, smiling, and, believe it or not, taking a humorous view of some situations. None of these visitors, and. in fact, no living person here or elsewhere has been told what he intends to do in the next campaign. But if he has any thing in his sleeves it certainly does not rattle.

President Roosevelt's appeal to all "liberals" to stand united is bound to revive the controversy as to what is really meant by being "liberal.” The Webster International Diction ary speaks of a liberal person as being "open-handed" and as not being nar rowly restricted "by pecuniary con siderations” and as “bestowing in a large and noble w'ay" bounteous and generous. The liberality of the Roosevelt ad ministration with taxpayers’ money has been unprecendented. The es timates of expenditure for the three years from 1933 to 1936 have been given as $24,000,000,000, which is just about equivalent to the sum that it took the Federal Government from 1789 to 1913—from the administration of President Washington to President Wilson—to spend. The question of whether it was nec essary to spend all this money will be open to considerable debate, especial ly since the unemployment figures do not show a material change, com pared with what they were in the Autumn of 1933. The President, in his speech on i the Pacific Coast appealing to the "liberals" to stand together, gave the impression that "reactionaries" was j the proper term for those who op posed liberalism. Actually, a more accurate term would be "conserva tives” because the Webster dictionary defines the word, "conservative" as meaning one who "conserves,” that is to "keep in a safe or sound state” or to "preserve from destruction.” Hint of Friction. Mr. Roosevelt hinted, of course, that there was friction inside the ranks of the liberals,” and he, no doubt, wax using the term in its political sense, which is given in the dictionary thus: "Not bound by authority, orthodox tenets, or established forms in politi cal philosophy, inclined to welcome new ideas, friendly to suggestions, or experiments of reform in the consti tution or administration of govern ment." The political definition of "con servative” is a party which "favors the conservation of existing Institutions and forms of government” and "op posed to change or innovation.” On the last point, the opponents of the New Deal are divided, too. There are many who do not want a return to old methods that have been proved harmful to the Nation, but only a preservation of the methods and insti tutions that have built it up. As for the "liberals,” there are many who favor new ideas and changes, but they do not wish reckless experimen tation or unsound policies to be kept after their ineffectiveness has been proved. Today there are ‘'liberal” publica tions like the Nation which are at tacking the New Deal on many counts, pointing out some of the unworkable laws that have been passed and the disillusionment which is coming when j it is found that social security is more of a slogan than an achievement. Conservative* Not United. But the President's idea that the "liberals” should unite is sound politically and his complaint about their disunity would be echoed by those of the opposite school of thought, too. Are the conservatives united? By no means. They are to be found in the Republican and in the Democratic parties, and recently there has been much talk about a fusion or coalition which would enable them to come together in a party that would be con structive and forward-looking and yet sound from a fiscal standpoint, a party that would not waste the taxpayers' money or continue borrowings to pay annual expenses. Were such a fusion brought about, the difference between the "liberal” and ''conservative” viewpoint would turn largely on governmental expenses and the high cost of living. President Roosevelt, in the period of his ad ministration when he was urging economy, uttered in a single sentence the most penetrating comment on liberalism that has ever been pro nounced. It was in his message to both Houses of Congress on March 10, 1933, shortly after his inauguration. He said: “Too often, in recent history, liberal governments have been wrecked on the rocks of loose fiscal policy.” Reciting the deficits of each pre ceding year, Mr. Roosevelt added: “For three long years, the Federal Government has been on the road to bankruptcy.” Deficits Continuing. But the deficits have continued; and, during the current fiscal year, when Mr. Roosevelt once promised to have a balanced budget, the indi cated deficit, officially predicted, is in the neighborhood o£ $3,000,000,000. j This is why the term "liberalism” will no doubt produce a challenge and a tendency to apply it in the sense in which Mr. Roosevelt himself used It In his address of March 10, 1933. If all the "liberals’’ would rally to one banner and all the “savers" and economical-minded persons who have to pay the tax bill would rally to the opposite, there might be a real divi sion, irrespective of the old-line parties and labels, and America would have a chance to choose on the basis of principles and not personalities a program looking toward fiscal sound ness. or Its probable antithesis, the "road to bankruptcy.” But political ties are hard to break and Mr. Roose velt is probably counting on the fact that the conservative Democrats may not break away from their party and that he will hold all the "liberals" intact.

Potatoes (Continued From First Page.) my temper, and conduct myself as a gentleman." the North Carolina Senator replied, "but that does not mean that as an American citizen and representative of the people that I shall take orders from any one what soever." Act Declared Mandate. Insisting on proceeding, Bailey told the A. A. A. official that "I am going to argue somewhere, to somebody, that i the Warren act is a mandate upon the Department of Agriculture from Con gress. a superior power, and that it must be enforced. If you will not hear me. then there will be those who will.” As Bailey proceeded. Nye swore him in and insisted that he address him self to the questions then before the meeting, concerning the prevailing price of potatoes and conditions within the potato industry. The Senator resumed by saying that “there isn't an idiot who doesn't know" that the price of potatoes was lower than it should be. He called upon every farmer in the audience who knew the price was below a “fair exchange value" to raise his hand. At the Senator's request, Nye recorded that practically every one in the au I dience raised his hand. Bailey then asked all those who felt the prospects for a fair exchange val ue next year would be no better un less the Warren act were enforced to raise their hands. Cheering Again Follows. Again virtually all hands were raised amid cheering and applause. Nye soon had a clash with another member of Congress. Representative Brewster, Republican, of Maine tried to ask a question, but the presiding officer insisted that the witness then speaking be permitted to proceed. “Do you mean you refuse a citizen the right to ask a question?" Brewster asked. “You will have a chance later,” Nye replied. The Representative angrily took his i seat, muttering thot the procedure was "absolutely futile.” Warren said he had often contend ed the A. A. A. was the only hope of the American farmer and could only be destroyed by court action or the farmers themselves. “Today,” he continued, “I add a third. I say it can be wrecked and destroyed by those who are in charge of its administration. "They can wreck it and tear It to I pieces even more than the farmers who are co-operating with them." Warren did not mention Wallace by name, but was obviously referring to the Secretary's statement yesterday that he did not want to enforce the potato control act and his additional j blunt statement that “I'm going to do all I can to avoid enforcing it.” Earlier Gov. L. J. Brann of Maine pleaded for some control of the potato problem, but did not flatly de mand enforcement of the Warren bill. Gov. Brann testified Maine had been forced to maintain schools which the counties had not been able to keep I open because of potato prices. “We feel that something must be i done to relieve that situation,” he said. "We are looking toward this hearing for some wav to take care of it.” Before the hearing really got start ed, E. W. Hunt of Lambertville, N. J., protested on constitutional grounds against the rules under which the hearing was being held preventing argument. Farmers Declared for Enforcement. Contending 75 per cent of those farmers hearing him wanted the law enforced, Warren asked whether it was possible that the department’s attitude was influenced by “that great friend of the farmers, the American Liberty League.” Attacks on the potato tax law have come from the Liberty League and also the Republican National Com mittee. Referring to the department’s con tention that no money was available for enforcement of the potato law, Warren read a letter written to him by Controller General McCarl Sep tember 16 saying he had received no application from the A. A. A. or any other agency for funds to carry out the act. “When they tell you they can't get the money and that their attempts to do so have been rejected,” Warren shouted, "I tell you it is absolutely untrue.” His statement was greeted by applause. 200 Farmers From Eastern Shore. More than 200 farmers left their Eastern Shore, Virginia, homes before dawn and rode to Washington in trucks to urge the Farm Administra tion to enforce the potato act. “They want the whole bill, title 2, with its ta-x features and all,” said B. D. Ayres, spokesman for the dele gation. They were followed by more than 200 growers from North Carolina. At his press conference yesterday, Wallace served blunt notice that "I'm going to do all I can to avoid en forcing the potato control bill.” "I don’t want to enforce the act,” Wallace emphasised. "We’ve tried to use common sense at all times.” Wallace said no funds had yet been found to collect the tax, and that un less funds were available the law prob ably could not be enforced. The tax control plan would become effective December 1. First Administration Expression. Wallace’s remark was the first open statement of the administration’s opposition to tax control of potatoes, though it has been conceded privately in the Agriculture Department ever since th^law was passed. He indl BISHOP T. F. GAILOR DIES IN TENNESSEE High Episcopal Churchman Was Dean of Clergy and Ex-Chancellor. By the Associated Press. SEWANEE, Tenn., October 3 Right Rev. Thomas Frank Gailor, eldest bishop of the Protestant Episco pal Church in this country and chan cellor of the University of the South, died here early today. He was 79 years old. Death resulted from a stomach dis order. Bishop Gailor received every post of honor the church could confer, except that of presiding bishop. But as president of the national council of the church through two terms, 1919-1925, he occupied what was equivalent to the executive head ol the organization as he was chosen for the post prior to the time that the office of presiding bishop was made elective. Previously the presiding bishopric was a matter of seniority and honor, and it was indicative of church lead ership of the front rank when Bishop Gailor was chosen to organize what amounted to the first real national executive post In the history of the church. He was Bishop of Tennessee from 1898 on and was chancellor of the University of the South at Sewanee since 1890. Of late years he was also president of the university’s Board of Trustees. Held High Civic Poats. Aside from his clerical offices he was a former vice president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, represented Tennessee in the national I divorce congress, was an arbiter in several union labor disputes, a mem ber of the Tennessee Coal Commis sion and of “the Committee of 48” on foreign relations and national de fense. Bishop Gailor was born in Jackson, Miss., September 17, 1856. his parents being Frank Marion and Charlotte J Moffett Gailor. The elder Gailor was editor of the Memphis Avalanche, a predecessor of the Memphis Com mercial-Appeal. When the Civil War broke out he enlisted in the Confed erate Aimy. became colonel of the 33d Mississippi Regiment' and was killed in the battle of Perryville, Ky., October 8, 1862. After this tragedy Mrs. Gailor. who belonged to an old Irish family which 1 for many years was identified with i the Church of Ireland, devcted every effort toward educating her 6-year-old son for the priesthood of the Epis copal Church. He graduated from the public schools of Memphis, then went to work. Attended Racine College. After a few- years his savings were sufficient to take him to Racine Col lege at Racine, Wis. He received his bachelor of arts degree there in 1876 and his master's degree in 1879. The same year he won his theological de gree. S. T. B.. from the General Theo logical Seminary in New York. He then returned to Tennessee where he was ordained to the dia conate in May of 1879 and to the priesthood on his birthday. September 1 17, 1880. In later years he was given honorary doctorates by Oxford Uni versity, England: Trinity College. Co lumbia University. Oglethorpe Univer sity and the University of the South. Bishop Gailor was a prolific writer on church subjects, was noted as a 1 lecturer and pulpit orator and was a close personal friend of President Cleveland and of President Taft. One of his daughters married Richard Cleveland, son of the former Pres ident. She resides at Baltimore. Bishop Gailor was married Novem ber 11, 1885, to Miss Ellen Douglass Cunningham of Nashville. A son and two daughters were born to them. Their 46 years together ended in tragedy in 1931 when Mrs. Gailor died of injuries sustained when she fell down the steps of their Summer home. TOMATO CROP SAVED CHICAGO. October 3 CP).—Farmers of the Chicago vicinity had won a race with jack frost, it was indicated yesterday. No matter when freezing temperatures arrive, they will have harvested the largest tomato crop on record for the territory. Many truck farmers were reported getting $20 a ton for the fruit, with the yield in some cases running as high as 20 tons to the acre. I cated, however, that the admlnistra tion expects to provide some form of aid for the commercial potato pro ducers. “We want to get their judgment.” Wallace said, "they’re in real trouble. The price of potatoes is less than half of parity.” Many conferences have been held to find a way of helping the potato producers, Wallace said, and many j proposals have been made. Referring to his comment upon, the I potato law, Wallace added: “I’ve merely indicated my own atti tude.” The Secretary’s statement came un 1 expectedly after several minutes’ dis cussion at a press conference. A reporter said the Secretary could settle a lot of questions by “simply telling us whether or not you intend to enforce this law.” Wallace Smiles. Wallace laughed and gave his reply almost instantly. He declined com ment on the Republican National Committee criticism, but said “It is interesting to know that the Repub licans want us to enforce the potato act.” Funds for enforcement of the tax provisions of the law—$5.000,000— were included in a deficiency appro priation bill which failed to pass on the last night of Congress. The law seeks to clamp an iron bound system of compulsory control on potatoes. It provides for quotas for potato growers, with a prohibitive tax on production in excess of quotas, and is armored with jail penalties for will ful buyers or sellers of bootleg po tatoes. Critics of the New Deal seized on the act as a prize issue, citing it as an example of “regimentation” to which they said compulsory crop control logically points. The American Liberty League called it “another step toward Socialism.” The Republican National Committee's publication, Facts and Opinions, said the legislation was the “logical result” of A. A. A. policy, but that President Roosevelt, con fronted by “open revolt and defiance” of the £w. was seeking to Ignore it. Maj. Gen. Malin Craig Named New Chief of Staff of Army Building Up Air Corps and Infantry Among First Tasks. Veteran of Two Wars Now Head of War College. By the Associated Pres*. A husky 61-year-old cavalryman, a veteran of two wars, took command today as the new chief of staff of the Army. He Is Maj. Gen. Malin Craig, now commandant of the Army War Col lege, to whose lot will fall the task of enlisting more than 25,000 men in the ranks and building up the Air Corps to a full fighting strength of 2,500 planes. Craig was selected by President Roosevelt yesterday. The new Army leader succeeds Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur, now en route to the Philip pines to become military adviser to President-elect Manuel Quezon. Gen. Craig was sworn in this morn ing without any ceremony. He merely waliaed into the War Department and quietly remarked that he was ready to take over. The netv chief of staff took his oath of office from the acting adjutant general. Cavalry to Be Mechanized. One of the first ta«ks facing Craig, who assumes the rank of a full gen eral, will be mechanization of the cav alry in which he served for many years. His immediate plans, however, were not known. He was playing golf yesterday when word of his selection reached Washington. Friends say that is his favorite sport. Craig served in the Spanish-Amer ican War and was chief of staff of the 1st Corps during the World War. He received the Distinguished Service Medal for his service in France as well as decorations from France, Eng land, Belgium and Italy. He is a native of St. Joseph, Mo., and has a son, Malin, jr., who also is an Army officer. During MacArthur’s regime Con gress authorized increasing the en listed personnel of the Army from 1171.000 to 164,250. To date approxi mately 17.000 new men have been added to the rosters. 5-Year Plan Proposed. Just before he left, MacArthur rec ommended a five-year plan to mod ernize, mechanize and motorize the Army to make it more mobile and increase its speed. WARD TEACHER DEFIESJEW LAW Dr. Mather, Celebrated Geologist, Refuses to Take Oath of Allegiance. By the Associated Pres,. BOSTON, October 3.—Massachusetts’ new "teacher's oath” law was defied last night by Dr. Kirtley F. Mather, celebrated Harvard geologist, who de clared he would refuse to take an oath of allegiance to the State and National Constitutions. Dr, Mather, also director of the Harvard Summer School, said he was convinced that a compulsory oath, such as the last Legislature prescribed for 1 the State's 40.000 public and private school and college teachers, "violated j his constitutional rights as a citizen and a teacher.” “I do not know what will be the consequences.” said Dr. Mather, of his announced refusal, but coincidentally j it was admitted by the State commis sioner of education. Dr. Parson Smith, that the law contains no penalties. Enforcement. Dr. Smith observed, was a matter for school principals and local school committees. Passed Over Opposition. The law was passed at the instance of veterans' and patriotic organiza tions, although virtually all of the State's college heads and principal educators opposed the bill at often dis orderly hearings. Dr. Mather, who announced his de fiance of the oath law at a convoca tion of the Boston Center for Adult Education, explained he had no ob jection to swearing fealty to the State and Federal constitutions "under j conditions which make such an oath appropriate,” and in fact had previ ously taken such oaths as a Federal officer and as a city official. Not Official of Government. “In each instance,” he said. "I was to perform an appropriate function as a Government official, bift In my ca pacity as a member of the faculty of Harvard University, I am not an official of the Government, and never should I be so considered.” The taking of such an oath as was required by the law, the geologist continued, was tantamount to ac ceptance of the "idea that as a teacher of geology in Harvard I am an officer of the Government.” Dr. Mather declared that similar legislation in 13 other States con stituted “an entering wedge in America for additional legislation which would eventually regiment all schools, churches and cultural insti tutions in obedience to the orders of whatever State officials happened to be in power.” FACES MORE TROUBLE. Father of Youth Who Refused to Take Oath Accused. LYNN, Mass., October 3 (*’).—More trouble loomed today for Carleton B. Nichols, whose 8-year-old son re fuses to salute the flag, and «ho faces a charge of disturbing a school room. Yesterday Clarence A. Charles, 78, agent for the Old Glory Club of Boston, filed application for com plaint against the elder Nichols for disrespect for the flag. William A. Kelley, assistant clerk of Lynn District Court, said he would issue the complaint, but not until testimony in the case now on the books is completed next week. Nichols and Edward H. James, at torney of Concord, who has Joined Nichols’ cause, were charged with trespassing and disturbing the peace Monday when they visited school. They refused Principal William F.

NEW YORK, October 3.—Senato# Elmer Thomas. Democrat, of Okla homa, leader of the Senate Auirecuf inflation forces, last night flatly char acterized the administration silver policy as a "failure” and forecast his desertion from the Western silver bloc unless a definite stand is taken fog monetization of silver. Coupled with his warning of a col lapse of the silver purchasing program, Senator Thomas announced the de termination of throwing his full sup port behind the congressional bonus bloc as an alternative method ol achieving higher commodity price levels and a measure of inflation. He intimated a "show down” on Government silver policy would corns at Salt Lake City October 12, when a special Senate Committee headed bj Senator Key Pittman of Nevada, nominal leader of the silver group, meets to investigate Treasury silvei policies. Thomas is a member of thh committee. Sees Passage of Bonus. Aside from the bonus, Senatoi Thomas asserted the only "reasonabli alternative” to remonetization of silvei as an inflationary program was that of managed currency, "like that non employed in Great Britain.” On the question of the bonug Thomas made direct reference to th| forthcoming presidential elections "elemental political psychology," anij the size of the bonus forces in predict ing passage of a measure authorizing immediate payment. "If the President vetoes the bonus.’ he said, "we can and will, in my opin ion. pass it over his veto. "No power under Heaven can sto| a bonus bill—any bonus bill—frorj passing at the next session of Con gress in January.” Diverging briefly from his principal topic—higher price levels through in creased money in circulation—Thomai predicted an economic "boom" without precedent next January when the la'i outlawing gold clause suits become^ effective. "Things are infinitely better now.’ he said but I think we are on thi verge of an unprecedented boom be ginning next year.” Cites Court Ruling. His reasons had their inception is the Supreme Court decision on the gold clause m civil and governmental contracts. The court, he said, held nt damage could be awarded unless dam age to the holder of the bond ha: been shown. In the light of this Thomas asserted “the administratioi had not been able to “cheapen” thi dollar at home without incurrin| damage possibilities. “When the new law becomes efTec. tive in January,” he added, “it will outlaw all damage actions and giu the Government a free hand in cheap enmg money. When that time comes you will see the dollar slump—not to< much. I hope Thomas, en route through here t« Salt Lake City, said he planned t< stop off at Detroit on his way West u “discuss” matters with Father Charlei E. CoughJin. the "radio priest” ol Royal Oak, Mich. “I want to talk with him on »om| of his ideas," Thomas said cryptically declining to expand on this topic “You know he starts soon on a yeai of broadcasts, and perhaps I can neir him," Confers With Baruch. Thomas disclosed that while in Sen York he had discussed silver matter) with bankers and financial leader? among them Bernard M Baruch. “None of them took issue with me." was his only comment. Intimation of a break with th« silver leaders at Salt Lake City wai made when Thomas said a report og questionnaires sent out by the com mittee "may conflict" with a repor) he expects to make on questionnaire! he has circularized personally. “I am going to lay down the prop, osition," he said, "that unless the) remonetize silver I have no furthe) interest in the program. It will be a failure and the administration mus) be responsible. “There's going to be a change o) administrations—if not now, somi day. In all probability the new ad ministration would reverse the present silver program. The first thing would be that domestic miners, now on s subsidy, would be placed on thi world price. The next order would be to stop buying and the price would sw’oop down. As a result, all the sil ver we already have on hand would be held at a loss. “I'm not going to be a party t| that. I'm getting out while the gettini is good. I'm going to place the re. sponsibility on the Western Senators— so far as I can. “My whole incentive is to raise thi price level—to get more money inti circulation. “But if we can't have a metallii base for our currency, we must havi a managed currency. We must raisi prices." Senator Thomas said that by re monetizing silver, he meant forcin) the price from the current 65 centi an ounce to $1.29 an ounce, whicl would make a silver dollar worth om dollar. The inflation resulting, hi estimated, would be approxlmatelj one-half a billion dollars. "It's a mistake.” he asserted, **t« pay high prices for silver to be use) only as token money. We might Ju^ as well mint an attractive coppei dollar worth about 5 cents." WILL AID DEALERS Auto Manufacturers to Assisi in Solving Distribution Problems ST. LOUIS.

ROOSEVELT TALKS SPLIT OPINIONS Legislators Find Praise and Criticism for Speeches on Trip. By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt’s speeches dur ing his trip across the continent aroused criticism and praise today among legislators. Democrats contended the President had made a favorable impression on the people in his outline of policies. They said his figures on business im provement could not help but be re assuring. However, Representative Bolton, Re publican, of Ohio said in a radio ad dress that the Chief Executive once more was “making promises in the hope of reviving a lost confidence in the New Deal." A Roosevelt backer, Senator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, said: “President Roosevelt’s call at Los Angeles upon liberal-minded people to unite and work together ought to appeal to every progressive in Amer ica. Certainly a combination of effort by those who think alike will bring desired results, but if they go off on partisan considerations and try to accomplish the same thing in different ways, the danger is that failure will be the result.” Depends On Viewpoint. Senator Davis, Republican, of Penn sylvania, took a different slant at these remarks of the President. “It depends on your viewpoint of liberality." he said. “Are you going to be liberal with the markets of the United States and permit imports in competition with our own from low-wage workers of the rest of the world, as Secretary Hull is doing now with his reciprocal trade agreements? I want to be that kind of a liberal who will not buld up bureaucracy and destroy American business.” The comment ot Senator Black, Democrat, of Alabama was: “Forces of reaction and privilege ere fostering and stimulating,possible divisions on the part of the people who are opposed to greed and cupidity of the reactionary class. There is nothing they would like better than a division which would place them back in the saddle. That would be a tragic thing.” Seeking "Lost Confidence.” In his radio address last night, Bolton, chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, declared the President was trying to revive “lost confidence” in his pro gram “in the face of a past record of shattered pledges that makes his new assurances unconvincing.” ‘•Again," said the Ohioan, “it is ob vious that he takes for granted that a subservient Congress will do his bidding. But the fact is that proper legislative functioning, impossible un der the present New Deal majority in Congress, is one of the great needs confronting the country.” DRIVER HITS POLICEMAN Taces Four Traffic Charges as Kesult of Collision. Knocked from his motor cycle by an automobile at Sixth and D streets today. Policeman M. I. Bridges of the Traffic Bureau arrested the driver of the car on four traffic charges.

Sees Unmistakable Signs of Return of Sound Confidence. By the Associated Press. SAN DIEGO, Calif., October 3.— The text of the address delivered here yesterday bv President Roosevelt follows: It is 20 long years since I stood here in company with Vice Presi dent Marshall when the first ex position was held here in San Diego. At that time the flames of a World War were spreading and two years later w-e ourselves were to take part in that great catas trophe of mankind. In the days that followed the coming of peace, our Nation passed through a period of deflation into a decade of self-deceiving pros perity which we accepted unthink ingly in our desire for quietude, peace and luxury. The inevitable overtook us and during more than three years of increasing hardship we came to understand the ulti mate national need for more than the necessities and pleasures of life: that which is spiritual in us came forward and taught us to seek security of the spirit—that peace of mind, that confidence in the future, that deep contentment which make life not only possible, but full and complete. A great adversity has chastened us; in the process of recovery we have well-nigh unanimous agree ment in requiring the elimination of many of those evils in our na tional life, without which elimina tion true confidence cannot be made permanent. I see signs—unmistakable signs— of the restoration of this sound and genuine confidence—a confi dence of the masses of the people in the integrity and fairness of government, a confidence that in tegrity and fairness in private enterprise will take the place of many of the evils of the past—in other words-, the only confidence on which we can permanently build. Exposition Held Indicative Of Confidence in Future. Expositions such as this can and do well express our hope of the future. Not only Is the setting per fect, but the extent and the diver sity of the products of American artistic and mechanical genius gathered here speak eloquently of what this Nation can attain on a broad scale. To a great extent the achieve ments of invention, of mechanical and of artistic creation, must of necessity be individual rather than governmental. It is the self-re liant pioneer in every enterprise who beats the path along which American civilization has marched. Such individual effort is the glory of America. The task of Government is that of application and encouragement. A wise Government seeks to provide the opportunity through which the best of Individual achievement can be obtained, while at the same time it seeks to remove such ob struction. such unfairness as springs from selfish human mo tives. Our common life under our various agencies of Government, our laws and our basic Constitu tion exist primarily to protect the individual, to cherish his rights and to make cleai his just prin ciples. It is this conception of service to the individual with which the Federal Government has con cerned itself these tv and a half years just passed. When I took the oath of office there were evi dences on all sides that the United States did not then possess a sound and just monetary system. The forces of deflation had finally resulted in the almost complete collapse of our economic activities; the banking system had fallen down: prices of commodities were ruinously low; the burden of debt, individual and collective, was more than the Nation could bear. The farmer, worker and business man were helpless in the grip of cir cumstance. Feared Permanent Hurt To National Life. We were confronted by a choice of two ways of meeting the situa tion. We could let nature take its course until the process of defla tion was complete and then take the long gamble of building on the ruins. Such a course was driving us to irreparable damage to our national life. We chase the alternate course. We sought in every sound and le gitimate way to raise values, par ticularly the purchasing power of that agricultural half of the Na tion without which factory wheels could not turn. We changed a gold standard that had become not the assurance of a sound eco nomic life, but a straitjacket which pressed upon and paralyzed the nerve centers of our economic system. Through the extension of sound Government credit we re Roosevelt (Continued From First Page.) President had watched 130 ships of the fleet engage in a battle exercise. This demonstration of naval power, the most spectacular ever witnessed by a Chief Executive of the Nation, fol lowed Mr. Roosevelt’s speech, in which he declared: “We not only earnestly desire peace, but we are moved by a stern determination to avoid those perils that will endanger our peace with the world.” Must Remain Unentangled. “Despite what happens in other na tions,” the President said, "the United States of America shall and must re main unentangled and free.” This Nation, he said, “intends and expects to remain at peace with the world.” It was in the last war, the President said, that “during more than three years of increasing hardship we came to understand the ultimate national need for more than necessities and pleasures of life.” He reviewed the efforts of his ad ministration to meet this need to cope with depression. Conceding there have been mistakes, he nevertheless said he saw “signs— unmistakable signs—of the restoration of the sound and genuine confidence of the masses of the people in the fairness and integrity of Government.” From March, 1933, through June, 1935, Mr. Roosevelt said, industrial production has Jumped 45 per cent; factory employment, 35 per cent; rural general store sales, 104 per cent; automobile sales, 157 per cent; elec trical power production, 18 per cent, while bank deposits in active commer cial banks have increased more than 30 per cent. These things, he added, have been achieved “not through an increase in the burden of taxation upon the aver age citizen, but by adding to the pub lic debt, frankly and honestly.” I Mr. Roosevelt saw a “clearer out-. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT Shown speaking in the San Diego. Calif., Stadium before 60,000 persons yesterday, when he outlined American foreign policy in the present emergency. —Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto. duced the burden of private debt. We rehabilitated the banking sys tem and finally we financed the outlays necessary for the encour agement of recovery, not through an Increase in the burden of tax ation upon the average citizen, but by adding to the public debt, frankly and honestly. As a result of all these efforts bank deposits in active commercial banks have increased by ten billion dollars, or more than 30 per cent. At this moment the deposits in the banks of the Nation amount to more than fifty billion dollars, which, I submit, compare favorably with the fifty-five billion dollars in June, 1929. Unlike that year, however, the new system of deposit insurance covers 98 per cent of the fifty million individual depositors in these insured banks and gives them full protection under the provisions of law. Credit Policy of Federal Reserve Cuts Interest. So, too, the credit policy of the Federal Reserve System in the past two years has sought and ac complished a reduction of interest rates for the purpose of stimulating business recovery. As a result sound business institutions can se cure money on bonds at a rate of 331 per cent instead of 434 per cent. Government bonds, on which the taxpayers formerly paid 3’i per cent or more, are now sold with an interest rate of 2'i per cent. Through important amend ments to our banking laws we have given practical recognition to the fact that monetary policies are a national public concern and not a regional or private concern. The Federal Government is in a better position than it ever has been to prevent that disastrous expansion and contraction of credit which in the past has made our economic life a succession of unhealthy booms and disastrous depressions. In the midst of the greatest and most disastrous of these depres sions the very foundation of indi vidual life was crumbling in the Spring of 1933 because of the ap palling increase in suffering and destitution, due to the fact of un employment. Local and State governments and private charities were, in the large, drained of their resources. With the utmost good will in the world they could not meet their primary responsibility. The situation which I faced was too challenging and too mandatory to permit of hesitation. An Ameri can Government cannot permit Americans to starve. The task assumed in Federal re lief carried us on an uncharted course. Mistakes and errors were inevitable—that we know—but es sentially we met the larger re sponsibilities of the situation. The look.” “We stand," he said, “upon an economic plateau. We have therefore a right to look forward while, at the same time, we remember the mis takes of the past.” As the cruiser Houston steamed out into the Pacific from here, the fleer. Including 499 fighting planes, staged the first naval practice ever presented before a President of the United States. President Roosevelt’s cruiser simu lated an "enemy” fleet of equal strength, just as might be expected in the sortie of a fleet from its base. The first blow struck at the Houston was by Submarine Division 12, composed of world-cruising fighting divers. They simulated the firing of torpedoes at the Houston and then submerged. The Navy’s newest aircraft earner, the Ranger, came close and launched its fighting planes. They soared to 20,000 feet and plummeted down, one after another, squadron after squad ron, In a power dive bombing raid on the Houston.

There were 12 floating sea fortresses, four divisions of three dreadnaughts each. Admiral Harris Lanlng, distin guished tactician, commanded the operations. The climax was the battle line open ing fire on the Houston. In regular tactical exercises of the fleet these battleships use searchlight stabs to indicate gun fire. The destroyers and heavy cruisers simulated fire, but the battle line fired its guns in the 21 round presidential salute. Building Permits Gain. Building permits issued in Mel bourne. Australia, are far above those of a year ago. time demanded action as a substi tute for inaction. Public Relief Policy Held Necessary Step. In the first emergency action we provided direct relief because a hu man situation confronted us, but, as rapidlv as we could, recogniz ing the moral and spiritual fiber of the American people should not be shaped by the narcotic of idle ness. we undertook to substitute work for a dole. Today the outlook is clearer, and even though we have not found final solution for many of the by products of depression, some old and some new, as they affect un employment, nevertheless It is not the spirit of America to shrink be fore a plain necessity. As the bur den lifts the Federal Government can and will greatly divest itself of its emergency responsibility, but, at the same time, it cannot ignore the imperfections of the old order. In the same broad field a chang ing civilization has raised new prob lems with respect to the relation ship between the employer and the employed. It is now beyond partisan controversy that it is a fundamentally individual right of a worker to associate himself with other workers and to bargain col lectively with his employer. New laws do not pretend to prevent labor disputes, nor do they cover all industry and all labor. But they do constitute an important step toward the achievements of just and peaceable labor relations in industry. This right of the Federal Government is well estab lished. Every President in this generation has been faced by the fact that when labor relations are strained to the breaking point there remains but one high court of conciliation—the Government of the United States. In like manner we have sought to foster human co-operation within industry itself. Through the institution of codes within in dustries we sought to establish a rule of constitutional Government within industry in substitution for the rule of tooth and claw. The experience thus gained by busi ness in co-operative methods marks a permanent advance. I have talked with hundreds of business men and an overwhelming pro portion of them tell me frankly that unless they can unite for the elimination of unfair and destruc tive practices naught but chaos and insecurity can be expected. These principles, so widely ac cepted under the national indus trial recovery act, still live, and means for their application, I trust, can be found. Looks Forward to Futare, Remembering Mistakes. We stand once more upon an economic plateau. We have, Roosevelt Speech Quotation Puzzles Literary Students Unable to Find Whom He Referred to as ‘Greatest Writer in History.* By the Associated Press. Students of literature rushed to their books yesterday to find out who President Roosevelt had in mind when he quoted “the greatest writer in our history.” In his San Diego speech he quoted this writer as listing the two most menacing clouds over government and society as "malice domestic and fierce foreign war.” He gave no further clue to the author of the Quotation. Library of Congress experts agreed offhand that it sounded Shakespearean, but checked other well-known authors, too. The nearest they could come to that phrase was in Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” King Duncan of Scotland has just been assassinated and Macbeth in act three, scene two, in a speech to Lady Macbeth, says: "Treason has done his worst; nor steel, nor poison; malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing, can touch him further.*' WHERE TO DINE. therefore, a right to look forward to the brighter future while, at the same time, we remember the mis takes of the past. Simple facts speak so eloquently that explanation is unnecessary. From March, 1933, through June, 1935, the following gains have been recorded in the industrial and business life of America: In dustrial production increased 45 per cent; factory employment, 35 per cent; rural general store sales, 104 per cent; automobile sales, 157 per cent; life Insurance written, 41 per cent; electrioal power pro duction, 18 per cent—this last being, incidentally, a higher mark than in any other time in our history. Centuries ago the greatest writer in our history described the two most menacing clouds that hang over human government and imraan society as "malice domestic and fierce foreign war.” We are not rid of these dangers, but we can summon the intelligence to meet them. Never was there more genuine reason for Americans to face down these two causes of fear. "Malice domestic” from time to time will come to you in the shape of those who would raise false issues, per vert facts, preach the gospel of hate and minimize the importance of public action to secure human rights or spiritual ideals. There are those today who would sow these seeds, but your answer to them is in the possession of the plain facts of our present con dition. Sees War Threat aa Menace to Civilization. The second cloud “foreign war”—Is more real—a more potent danger at this moment to the future of civilization. It is not surprising that many of our citi zens feel a deep sense of appre hension lest some of the nations of the world repeat the folly of 20 years ago and drag civilization to a level from which world wide recovery may be all but im possible. In the face of this apprehension the American people can have but one concern and speak but one sentiment; despite what happens in continents overseas, the United States of America shall and must remain—as, long ago the Father of Our Country prayed that it might remain—unentangled and free. This country seeks no conquest. We have no imperial designs. From day to day and year to year, we are establishing a more perfect assurance of peace with our neigh bors. We rejoice especially in the prosperity, the stability and the independence of all of the Ameri can republics. We not only earnestly desire peace, but we are moved by a stern deter/unation to avoid those perils that will en danger our peace with the world. Our national determination to keep free of foreign wars and foreign entanglements zannot pre vent us from feeling deep concern when ideals and principles that we have cherished are challenged. In the Uiited States we regard it as axiomatic that every person shall enjoy the free exercise of his religion according to, the dic tates of his conscience. Our flag for a century and a half has been the symbol of the principles of liberty of conscience, of religious freedom and equality before the law, and these concepts are deeply ingrained in our national char acter. Individual Freedom Of Conscience Defended. It is true that other nations may, as they do, enforce contrary rules of conscience and conduct. It is true that policies that may be pursued under flags other than our own are beyond our jurisdic tion. Yet in our inner individual lives we can never be indifferent, and we assert for ourselves com plete freedom to embrace, to pro fess and to observe the principles for which our flag has so long been the lofty symbol. As It was so well said by James Madison. “We hold it for a fundamental and inalienable truth that religion and the manner of discharging it can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence.” As the President of the United States I say to you most earnestly once more that the people of America and the Government of those people intend and expect to remain at peace with all the world. In the two years and a half of my presidency this Government has remained constant in follow ing this policy of our own choice. At home we have preached, and will continue to preach, the gospel of the good neighbor. I hope from the bottom of my heart that as the years go on, in every continent and in every clime, nation will fqllow nation in proving by deed as well as by word their adherence to the ideal of the Americas—I am a good neighbor.

GUFFEY BILL STAND REITERATED Again Contends Coal Indus try Interstate Business in Carter Suit. By the Associated Press. The Government repeated its con tention that the soft coal industry is an interstate business in filing its second answer in as many days yes terday to suits questioning the con stitutionality of the Guffey bill. Yesterday's answer asserted the in dustry's competitive practices and labor disputes had imposed “direct and substantial burdens upon and inter ruptions to interstate commerce" in the fuel. It was in reply to a suit brought in District Supreme Court by the Carter Coal Co. seeking an injunction re straining enforcement of the act. Its contentions paralleled those made in an answer filed Tuesday in a Louis ville Federal Court to a similar suit by 15 other companies. Regulation Declared Necessary. To “remove or control” burdens on commerce, they insisted that “it is necessary that competition be regulated by the elimination of un fair competitive marketing practices, by the fixing between fair and rea sonable limits of the price at which such coal may be distributed and by stabilizing and equalizing the wages and labor of employes and by otherwise eliminating the causes of strikes and lockouts.” The suit was brought by James Wal ter Carter, president of the company, to restrain the company from com plying with the act and the Govern ment from enforcing it. As a separate defense, the Govern ment argued that the action is “pre mature" in that the tax provision of the bill is not yet effective and that the plaintiff has failed to show accept ance of the code by the company will cause any injury. Jurisdiction Declared Lacking. The company also has a remedy at law, the Government contended. As to Carter's plea for a "declaratory judgment” holding the law unconsti tutional. the Government asserted that under an amendment to the declaratory judgments law approved by Congress last August 30. Federal courts have no jurisdiction to render such Judgments with respect to Fed eral taxes. Carter's plea for a temporary in junction was rejected in the District courts recently on the ground the case might be heard on its merits before the provisions of law actually became effective.

Secretary Wallace yesterday turned his mind back to 1914 and then issued a warn ing to farmers to beware of pitfalls such as trapped some of them at that time. Noting that Chicago wheat prices had jumped 5 cents (the limit allowed on a single day), Wallace expressed a belief that farmers should think twice before going heavily into debt and buying new lands on the strength of speculative prices. They should con sider. he said, the slumps which follow speculative soarings. "They might consider the inevitable distortion of judgment which takes place in time of excitement.” he said. "It is easy to accept thankfully what comes, but it also would be well to consider the eventual repercussions.” Near-Record Shipments Made. His remarks came at the close of a day which, besides the reactions on stock and grain exchanges, brought Government reports showing near record shipments of American cotton linters (potential materials for explo sives), scrap iron and steel, trucks and tractors to Italy. Secretary Hull, speaking before a religious mass meeting soon after President Roosevelt in his San Diego address had said the American peo ple's one concern is that this country must remain "unentangled and free, declared: “Present dangers are a challenge to the church to engage in what should be nothing less than a flaming cru sade.” Earlier, in his press conference. Hull had urged statesmen and business men of the world to help correct disturbed world conditions, which he said were seriously impeding all efforts toward economic recovery. Funds Held Diverted. •'Armed camps do not make ideal trading centers.” he said. Hull added that the "armed truce” in Europe had diverted funds vitally needed for world trade to the pur chase of guns and ammunition and had a tendency further to upset eco nomic and monetary stability. "When trade is so repressed and threatened, and when capital is fright ened by fears of loss and destruction, and shifting in large mass from finan cial center to center, the establish ment of international currency sta bility is not made easier,” he said.

U. S. SENDS ITALY No Arms Sold to Ethiopia, State Department Reveals. By the Assoclatei Press. The United States has played only a minor role in supplying war muni tions to Italy, figures tabulated here showed, and has shipped none to Ethiopia. Airplane engines and parts sent to Italy showed the only increase over 1933 and 1928, taken as typical periods. Data on exports of articles desig nated as 'arms, munitions and imple ments of war," which must be regis tered with the State Department under the neutrality act, were made available to newsmen by Secretary Hull. Figures Are Unofficial. “In answer to many questions asked the Secretary regarding the shipment of war materiel to Italy and Ethiopia." the State Department announcement said, "the following figures have been collected from all sources and repre sent the best information the Depart ment of State has been able to ob tain. The figures are unofficial, but they are believed to be accurate. "The department is not in a position to keep an official record of arms ex ports until after November 29, when the licensing system becomes effective.” Summary of exports of war ma teriel to Italy and Italian colonies: Rifles—1935, $986, against $53 in 1928 and none in 1933. Metallic cartridges—1935, $638, against $2,444 In 1928 and $2,983 in 1933. Airplane Total Drops. Airplanes—1935, $32,807, against $84,950 in 1928 and none in 1933. Airplane engines and parts—1935. $304,744. against $14,884 In 1928 and $21,005 in 1933. The tabulations showed no exports of war materials to Ethiopia or FTench Somaliland, which contains Ethiopia's only seaport, during any of those three years. The figures include September 23 of this year. The announcement said the caliber of the rifles and ammunition was not known, and a considerable portion might be of small caliber for sporting purposes. m Rome (Continued From First Page.'* direct and immediate menace for Italian troops in our two colonies in East Africa.” The announcement said Haile Selassie’s offer to withdraw his forces 30 kilometers (about 18 miles) from the defined frontier was "only a strategic move, destined to aid better the mobilization and aggressive inten tions of the Ethiopian troops.” Mussolini will not call the occupa tion of Halle Selassie's empire a war. his close collaborators disclosed. But to any nation which might per sist in trying to apply war-like sanc tions against Italy they considered the term war'' applicable. “To acts of war. we shall respond with acts of war,” bands of uniformed revelers chanted, repeating in cheers and songs Mussolini's militant words. Europe Not Menaced. While extoling the premier-dicta tor's speech of yesterday as a "clear exposition of Italy's case,” the offi cially inspired press hastened to cau tion that these words "did not menace any one” in Europe. Mussolini's associates nevertheless eaid he took his stand in the address during the vast, one-day test mobili zaation throughout the kingdom and that he intended to begin promptly an advance on at least a section of Ethiopia. Jubilant Fascist Black Shirts con sidered the mobilization pledge of 20. 000,000 males from all walks of Ital ian life to support II Duce's Ethiopian program as a direct warning to Haile Selassie. Mussolini’s uniformed millions were heartened by the knowledge that their party ranks, in the extraordinary call on the nation for support, were aug mented by other millions of Italians who joined the rally in the name of the fatherland, regardless of whether they were Fascists. In fact, most of Italy's population of 44.000.000 listened avidly to the message from their leader. Message Went Over World. Italian sources took pride in a sur vey showing that II Duce's message went by radio from Brenner Pass in Northern Italy to Italian Somaliland in Africa, penetrated the whole of Europe and extended as far East as Japan and as far West as the United States. Italian circles expected Haile Selas eie to muster today tour Ethiopians for every Italian soldier now in East Africa. These events, government sources said, could not fail to bring a show down in the near future. Italian forces in East Africa were estimated to total about 200,000. An official anouncement said Italy’s casualty list in East Africa for Sep tember incldued 28 soldiers and 2 officers, bringing the number of deaths there in military ranks thus far to 160. As proof that Italy feels a strong possibility war might result from League of Nations talk of sanctions and the continued presence of British warships In the Southern Mediter ranean. H Duce ordered Naples to protect Itself against a sham air attack Friday evening. This city, which has become the principal embarkation point for Italy’s East African troops, will be called on suddenly to extinguish all lights. The people wil lbe placed under the orders of military officers “for their own safety.” MINISTERS CRITICIZED •‘Profit Motive” in Church En terprise Held Necessary. ELGIN. HI., October 3 (^.—Min isters who decry "the profit motive" in business and industry yet clamor for profit on the operation of church enterprises were criticized by Dr. George C. Douglass of Cincinnati yes terday in an address at the ninety eighth annual Rock River Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. "There are annual conferences of Methodism,” Dr. Douglass, one of the publishings agents of the church, said, "which will adopt social service statements denouncing the profit mo tive. but which will also denounce the Methodist Book Concern because, in these troubled times, it has been un able to turn a profit into the minis ters’ pension fund.” p Ethiopian Tradesmen Answer Call to Arms Upper: Here is one result of Ethiopia's call to arms.

The telegram from the government of Haile Selassie, reporting contin uance of a battle in Ethiopia, said: “These facts occurring in Ethiopian territory constitute a violation of the empire’s frontier and a breach of the j covenant by Italion aggression." The Italian note to the League de clared that the general mobilization, proclaimed today by Emperor Haile Selassie, “constitutes an immediate direct menace for Italian troops.” “In consequence of the order of general mobilization,” it read, “this aggression has taken on a volume of i importance which is much more con siderable, which manifestly involves more serioul immediate danger, against which it is necessary to react without delay because ol elementary reasons of security. "In the presence of this situation, the Italian government has found I itself compelled to authorize the su preme command in Eritrea to take necessary steps In defense.” Troop Advance Admitted. (An official communique issued at Rome reported Italian troops “have moved into some advanced positions beyond our lines." but denied the charges of an air bombardment of Ethiopian villages.) The telegram was signed by the Ethiopian minister of foreign affairs. The League of Nations faced mul tiple warnings to think twice before applying sanctions. One of the most vigorous warnings I was uttered by Premier Mussolini in his stern speech yesterday to the mo bilized Italian masses. He warned Geneva that economic sanctions would be met with iron Italian discipline, military measures with military counter-measures, and acts of war “with acts of war.” A second warning was embodied in information coming to the League from countries in Southeastern Europe that widespread co-operation in ap Individual Saat Coaches have deep cushioned seats with adjustable back and foot rest* and linen head resist wida windows; modern washrooms.

A third warning was seen by League circles in a memorandum on naval blockades published by the League itself some time ago but scrutinized today with new interest because of possibilities that the League Council might decide on a naval blockade against an aggressor.

The three American Mission hos pitals here unfurled enormous Red Cross flags today, while the United States Legation put up its lsrgest American flag as warnings to bombing planes. Anti-aircraft guns set up around the capital limits fired practice bursts, using real bullets for the first time. The King of Kings, whose general mobilisation order set his native fol lowers on the march to the front, pro tested to the League of Nations, al leging a violation by Italy of Ethiopia's frontiers and a rupture of the League covenant. Battle Results Unknown. Rasse Youm, governor of East Tigre province, bordering on Italy's colony of Eritrea, where nearly a quarter of a million Italian troops have been massed, conveyed the first news of the bombardment to the Emperor, The report of the air bombing raid reached the capital while the Emperor was at prayer in the imperial chapel at dawn. The news created fears that there would be a similar raid against Addis Ababa. All through the day the inhabitants constantly were seen glancing toward the skies as though they feared a sudden swarm of airplanes across the mountains, carrying a rain of gas bombs and high explosives. Engagements in different sectors of i the northern and southern fronts were reported constantly, but they were not officially confirmed. Aviators Testing Guns. Troops patrolled the city. Ethiopian aviators were testing anti-aircraft j guns on the edge of the city in ex pectations of an air raid.

The Emperor held a meeting of the crown council to determine the em pire's course of action In the light of the alleged Aduwa bombing. While historic Aduwa, Ethiopia’s “Verdun,” slept in the morning hours of today. Mussolini's airplanes bom barded the city, the government an nouncement said, as a prelude to what might prove one of the most bloody wars in the history of the dark conti nent of Africa. Word that numbers of women and children non-combatants were killed and injured horrified the King of Kings, who dispatched his protest to the League immediately. The Conquering Lion of Judah was reported to have sent four regiments j of 50,000 soldiers to Aussa, to meet1 an eventual Italian attack near Mussa All, where the Ethiopian gov ernment said It had established that Italian troops already had penetrated, j Chancellor Reads Proclamation. The Emperor's proclamation was read from the balcony of his palace 1 by his chancellor, Haile Wolderoufe.! after an emergency session of his crown council. Over the primitive communications system of all Ethiopia—by drums, couriers and town criers—the word spread, uniting Christians, Mohamme padans, pagans and Jews in a call to the colors to defend the independence of Ethiopia against Italy. (The German news bureau corre spondent at Addis Ababa reported to Berlin that a battle was raging in Ogaden province in Southern Ethio pia.; Envoy Is Nervous. The Italian Minister was walking In the garden of the Italian Legation shortly before noon when the Asso ciated Press correspondent informed him that fighting already was re ported. Vinci appeared decidedly nervous. He said he lacked all news from his government. Commandant Dothee of the Belgian military mission was present at the interview and auggested that th« Ethiopians might seek vengeance as the result of reports that women and :hlldren had been killed by bombing planes at Aduwa. Vinci said he hoped there would be no reprisals. Asked If measures had been taken to protect the legation, the diplomat replied: "I am at this moment taking precautions.” Twenty Ethiopian soldiers guarded the entrance to the Italian compound. There was not another person in the vicinity. Emperor Haile Selassie himself dis patched 200 Ethiopian soldiers to guard the legation, forbidding even Italians to enter because of the danger of espionage plots. Vinci stated: "I have no instruc tions from Premier Mussolini on how to proceed. I know nothing of Aduwa. I must await the arrival of the con sular agents from the interior before 1 can think of leaving.” The Italian consular employes are expected to arrive tomorrow from Des sle and those from Debra Markos may get in Saturday. The spirit of war seemed to seize even the churches, where bells tolled out while priests said prayers for victory. The proclamation automatically re leased for national defense an enor mous secret war treasure left by for mer Emperor Menelik. The war chest left by Emperor Menelik lnclud<|d 10,000,000 gold lira indemnity, paid to Menelik after his victory at Aduwa. Aides to the Conquering Lion of Judah had estimated that at least 2 000.000 warriors among Ethiopia’s 10.000,000 men, women and boys would answer the call.

Crowds Mill About Streets as Violation of Article XV Is Seen. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 3.—Large crowds milled through powning Street be fore the prime ministers residence today as British warships patrolled 3.000 miles of the empire’s traditional sea lanes, on guard against an Inter- j ruption of empire communication?. through war in East Africa. The men in the street were heard to ask "what next? Is it war? Where will it lead? Will England be drawn in?" Street bulletins were displayed I through London declaring: "Aduwa j bombed—Italians advance.’ Authoritative sources said the gov ernment felt the wnole 'uture of the British Empire depended on its ability to defend its own interests in case of attack through the spread of the Italo-Ethiopian conflict or as the re sult of League restraints. Eden Off for Geneva. Anthony Eden, minister for League of Nations affairs, was started back for Geneva by way of Paris to con vince the League of Nations and France that the British policy was clearly and firmly in support of the League covenant opposed to war. It was stated authoritatively that no official attention will be paid to yes terday's speech of Premier Mussolini in Rome in which he said he did not believe true Britons would approve of sanctions against Italy. The British government was offi cially informed from Geneva of Em peror Haile Selassie's declaration that Italian planes had bombed Aduwa with civilian casualties. Authoritatively, it was announced that today’s developments, if borne out in fact, constituted a violation of Article XV of the League Covenant under which nations must refrain from aggressive hostilities while the League is attempting to conciliate a dispute. Must Determine Resort to War. It was said that the League Council now must determine whether there has been an Italian resort to war while the Council was drawing up the requisite report. If the Council so decides, it was Hated that this constitutes a violation of Article XII of the Covenant, as a result, of which Article XVI—the sanc tions article—must be immediately operative against Italy. This, declared an authority, is the considered opinion of the British gov ernment. The task of the League Council, in its meeting Saturday, wjll be to de termine whether Italy has committed an act of war. The British government was under stood to feel that the situation and the facts probably will be clarified officially and completely by Saturday, allowing the Council to proceed on re liable information. conservatTves^ask BRITAIN RUSH ARMS i ;4 J Nation Has Demobilized to Point of Danger, Winston Churchill Tells Party.

BOURNEMOUTH, England, Octo ber 3.—Winston Churchill's assertion, Britain has disarmed to the point of danger," today stirred the Conserva tive party to unanimous adoption of s, resolution calling upon the govern- j ment to speed the expansion of its de fease forces. Support of the government in its defense of the League covenant also was unqualifiedly given in a unani mous resolution, “Since this country,” the resolu- tion stated, “is no longer immune from sudden attack upon its great centers of population, its industries j and its food supplies, and moreover is pledged to play its part in a system of collective security by the treaty of Locarno and the covenant of the i League of Nations. His Majesty's gov- ernment, first, must at all costs pro- vide that our naval and military and air services shall be adequate for the following two purposes: "One. to safeguard British terri tory and its sea-borne trade against! aggression by any single power. “Two, to carry out with loyalty and effect the British international obli gations. "Secondly, that His Majesty's gov ernment should concentrate on a fresh task of reducing by interna tional agreement the level at which national armaments are maintained.” j PLEDGES TO* KEEP U. S.

Oram on Proposed Com promise Plan. A compromise on the proposed re- zoning of the Henderson Castle prop erty, at Sixteenth and Belmont streets, to permit an apartment house develop ment was being sought today by op posing sides in conferences with of ficials of the District Zoning Commis sion. As an outgrowth of debate yesterday before the commission, opposing coun sel were to meet today with Capt. Hugh P. Oram, commission executive officer, to discuss a proposal to pre serve restrictions against apartments for a 100-foot strip of the property along Belmont street, but to allow apartment house zoning for the larger lower portion of the estate left by Mrs. John B. Henderson. If this compromise is adopted the castle could be razed and replaced by an apartment house. Approve Four Petitions. The commission, in executive ses sion, approved four petitions for changes in zoning classifications, re jected six others and deferred action on foijr .cases, including that involv ing the Henderson property. Classification of the Henderson property to permit sale for apartment house development was urged by At torneys George E. Edelin and Robert. O. Roger, who contended it would be impossible to sell the property for private residential use. Opposition was voiced by spokesmen for Eugene Meyer, owner of the Wash ington Post; Irwin Laughlin, former Ambassador to Spain, and Mrs. Agnes Scott, owners of extensive property on Belmont street and Crescent place. Changes Approved. The commission approved the fol lowing changes: From residential 40-foot A restricted to first commercial 60-foot C area, rear portion of property on southeast j comer of Georgia avenue and Kalmla road. From residential A restricted to residential A seml-restricted area property fronting cm Aspen, Whittier and Third street in Takoma Park. The petitioners had sought change to residential A area, which would have permitted apartments, but the commission lowered the restrictions only to semi-restricted residential class, which permits either detached or selm-det&ched houses but not apartments. Prom residential A restricted to residential A area property on the north side of Rhode Island avenue between Newton and Monroe streets northeast. From residential B area to second commercial area property on the east side of Fenwick street between West Virginia avenue and Gallaudet street northeast. Petitions Are Denied. The commission denied petitions for change of zoning of the following: Property at 601 Twenty-third street; property at 1109 to 1115 Thirteenth street and 1228 to 1234 Massachusetts avenue, which would have allowed erection of an apartment house hav ing a height of 110 feet; property on the west side of Wisconsin avenue between Van Ness and Warren streets; property on the west side of Colorado avenue between Longfellow and Madi son ktreets; property on th# east side of Alaska avenue between Kalmia road and Twelfth street, and property at 141 Uhland terrace northeast., f W hy They Fight By the Associated Press. The aggressive demands of Premier Mussolini and the adamant refusals of Emperor Haifc Selassie of Ethiopia are the basis of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute. Italy suffered a crushing defeat, not yet avenged, at the hands of Ethio pians at Aduwa in 1896, when 8,000 Italians were killed and 3,000 cap tured. II Duce, early in 1934, said Italy’s future lies in Africa, which “must be brought into civilization.” border clashes between Ethiopians and Italians, especially that at Walwal in December, 1934, brought the situa tion into tha world spotlight. Each nation charged aggression by the other, and Ethiopia demanded that the League of Nations investigate. A conciliation commission held neither was to blame. Italy charged Ethiopia should be removed from the League, that the Ethiopian government was unfit to rule its diversified peoples, that its wandering tribes constantly menaced Italian colonies, and that Italy must control and "civilize” the country in self-protection. The League found no solution ac ceptable to both. SPAIN SHIFTS AVIATION War Minister in Charge to In crease Fighting Efficiency.

STOCKS TURN UP AFTER NEW DROP Scattered Buyng Brings Gains as Market Recovers From Shock of Hostilities. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. October 3.-,-Wall Street appeared to have absorbed the shock of the more critical turn taken by international affairs today and prices stiffened in the New York Stock Exchange after a further mod erate recession in the initial dealings. Brokers said yesterday's selling, ■which gave Wall Street securities prices the sharpest setback in more than a year, appeared to have taken the edge off the war scare. While heavy foreign selling had been feared, a number of houses with London and Paris connections said their buying from those centers about balanced the selling. Share prices opened unchanged to more than $1 lower today, but scat tered buying soon began to appear and a number of Issues advanced 25 cents to more than $1 above last night’s final prices toward the end of the first half hour.

By the Associated Press. SOFIA, Bulgaria, October 3.—Ma chine guns and bayonets of the Sofia garrison were turned out today for the second time within a year and a half to protect the life of King Boris III. Authorities announced they had de tected a plot to assassinate Boris to day—the day on which he was to cele brate the anniversary of his accession to the throne 17 years ago. The capital was placed under a state of siege and all traffic was stopped by military order. Soldiers occupied the central railway station and military guards covered most public buildings. Numerous persons identified closely with the regime of former Premier Gueorguieff were under arrest, but the war ministry denied reports that a considerable section of the army was involved in the conspiracy.

Series Notes Players Keep Under Wraps During Bat ting Practice. By Stiff Correspondent of The Star. DETROIT, October 3 —So cold was the weather as the Cubs and Tigers went through their batting practice that all players except the men actually hitting were garbed in their heavy jackets. So strong was the wind that Navin Field’s mammoth press box, accommo dating approximately 400 newspaper men and as many telegraphers, shook constantly. It is located high above the field. Detroit school children got a break yesterday and were hoping lor the bjst today. Approximately 265,000 of the youngsters were permitted to lay aside their Latin books and geographies and listen in on the big diamond show. Add victims of life’s little ironies— Frank Reiber. The little third-string catcher of the Detroit Tigers is a member in good standing of the American League champions and, as such, is entitled to a full share of world series receipts. But he hasn’t seen a play in the cur rent world series yet. Reiber, who has little chance to play, has the bull-pen job and when a series crowd is jammed into Navin Field the bull-pen is moved behind the left-field pavilion. Reiber, along with a couple of reserve pitchers, goes behind the pavilion and listens to the game over the radio. An automobile 1s driven into the bull pen and its radio is turned on. In that way the "firemen'’ and Reiber find out what’s going on. Reiber was somewhat relieved to learn that he finally will see some of the series tomorrow, when the scene shifts to Wrigley Field in Chicago.; The bull-pen is on the playing field I in the Cubs’ park, regardless of the size of the crowd. Manager Charlie Grimm of the Cubs has been in the big league since 1919. but he never saw Navin Field until the day before the opening game when the Bruins staged their last practice. Popular choice for the most beauti ful wife among the ball players: Mrs. Tuck Stainback. The wife of the Cubs' utility out fielder is a dead ringer for Joan Crawford. In fact, she was a stand in for Joan in the movie, "Chained.’’ Hank Greenberg, big first baseman of the Tigers, is ready to play ball on October 7, which is Yom Kippur. If the world series extends the sixth day it will include the day of Atone ment. which is revered by Jews. “We are orthodox Jews and. while not fanatical, we always celebrate Tom Kippur,” said David Greenberg, father of the ball player. “The boy has talked to officials and while they tell him they can't make him play, they explain they have no substitute for him. After all, he belongs to the pub lic and not just to himself.” Lon Warneke the Owl of the Ozarks, who pitched the Cubs to victory in the opener yesterday, has been painted as an unemotional gent with all of the loquaciousness of Joe Louis. But 'Us not always so. Last year, after losing his seventh or eighth game by a one-run margin, Lon stormed into the Cubs’ club house, kicked over the stove, broke bats and tore all the hats and shirts that he could lay his hands on. The next day he was presented with plumbers' and haberdashers’ bills, as well as a club fine. So bad were the dust clouds, due to the chilled winds that swept the field, the ground keeper was forced to j turn a hose on the infield to keep the dust down. Series (Continued From First Page)

After getting across a strike on Cochrane, Henshaw made a wild pitch, Owen scoring, Bridges going to third and White to second. Cochrane, after a three and two count, waited for a walk, and the bases were again filled.

By the Associated Press NAVIN FIELD. DETROIT. October 3. —While Kenesaw M. Landis, base ball's high commissioner, scanned cold, wet skies, a bare few hundred of the faithful dared pneumonia to day to rally around the big Detroit bail park for the second game of the world series between the Tigers and the Chicago Cubs. It rained most of the night and shortly after 9 a m. a hailstorm and downpour of rain swept the city, drenching the small crowd that had gathered to see the Tigers, behind Tommy Bridges, curve-ball pitching, try to pull up on even terms with the rubs, now one game up after Lon Warneke's brilliant 3-to-0 shutout yesterday. Despite weather as cold as an Arctic nudist camp, the teams prepared to take the field. After the storm, which lasted about half an hour and blew the canvas coverings on the diamond into the low-er stands of the park, the skies cleared and the sun came out shortly before 11 aan. Crowd Expected to Be Small. Today's game seemed certain to draw one of the smallest crowds of the past two series here, possibly ruining the chances of a $1,000,000 gate so promising when the two league champions played to slightly less than 48,000 persons yesterday. Outside the ball park only a handful of the faithful gathered, braving the early showers, hiding in doorways out of the cold, until the gates to the big temporary bleacher section, built out from left field, were opened at 9 a.m. Those who were determined to get in and stay in. regardless of the weather, hustled through the turn stiles the moment they had paid their $1.10 each. Even when the storm hit them, soon after they had gotten Into the park, they did not flinch. Instead, they huddled in the seats while the hail stones, big as marbles, bounced on their heads. The temperature, during the hall, dropped below 40 degrees. World series policy is to play the game if at all possible. The high point of excitement came when the field workmen, deciding to take up the tarpauUns that covered the infield against the rain aU night, were caught by the wind and haU. The huge canvas covering, large enough to smother the entire diamond, was caught in the wind, ripped from their grasps and sent billowing into the stands. Crash Kills C. C. C. Official. LIVINGSTON, Mont., October 3 CIP). —Capt. Walter E. McGrew, command ing officer of Civilian Conservation Corps forces at West Yellowstone, Mont., and Mrs. H. L. Smith of Poca tello, Idaho, were killed yesterday in a motor car collision in Yellowstone I National Park. Three other persons I were injured.

INDIANDECLARES Flyer’s Plare Said to Have Crashed Eight Years Ago in “Lost World.” PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, October 3 (N.A.N.A.i.—Paul Redfem, who dis appeared eight years ago on an at tempted non-stop flight from Georgia to Rio de Janeiro, is alive. He was forced down over the “lost world,” near the borders of French, Dutch and Brazilian Guiana. His plane crashed less than a mile from Sapokunu. the central village of the Trio, or "white” Indians, who have had no contact with civilization for 30 years. This Information was obtained from a Trio Indian by a Catholic mission ary. stationed at the last outpost on a tributary of the Morowijne River. The Indian was sent back to Redfem with word that a rescue expedition would reach him about the end of December. The Indian informant told the mis sionary Redfem had said he had no desire to return to civilization for he would be a cripple for life as a result of injuries he received in the crash and would only be a burden to his father. Rescue Efforts Pledged. The United States consul at Panama has been advised of the finding of Redfern and the Dutch and Brazilian governments have promised fullest co-operation in rescue efforts. When the Indians rushed to the fallen sky monster and found a white man they thought he was dead, the Indian. Kapaan. told the missionary. The tribal piahman. or medicine man, however, discovered Redfern still breathed. The tribe nursed him back to health but a broken hip rendered his legs useless. The Piahman. who has obtained much tribal prestige because the white man who came from the sky lives with him. has been reluctant to assist Redfern's departure. Another obstacle in the flyer’s path is the pres ence of some 25.000 members of the Djuka tribe, enemies of the Trio In dians, between him and the Guianas. On the south, egress is blocked by the impassable Brazilian jungle. A jour ney through the Djuka country would involve a 15-day w’alk and a 40-day canoe trip, which would be impossible for the crippled Redfern without as sistance. The Trio Indians would re fuse to take him to Djuka territory. Believe Him White God. The Trio Indians look on Redfern as a white god. He has shown them how to make many strange and valu able things. They attribute all their good luck to having a sky god living among them. The Trias have ostra cised themselves from civilized con tact because, for years. French slave hunting expeditions attacked them. Djuka warriors were employed by the expeditions. A carefully organized air expedition will be formed to bring the flyer back to civilization. His position is ap proximately 55 degrees 20 minutes w’est longitude, 2 degrees 45 minutes north latitude—on an exact line be tween Trinidad and Para, Brazil. Redfern took off from Brunswick, Ga„ for Rio de Janeiro on August 25, 1927. He was seen for the last time by white men the next day, when he passed over a Norwegian ship 165 miles north of the coast of Venezuela. (Copy-ight. 19.35. by the North American Newspaper Alliance.

PLEAD FOR PEACE Speakers at Religious Rally j Emphasize Spiritual Need as War Looms. BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. Four thousand Washingtonians crowded Constitution Hall last night to hear Secretary of State Hull and a long list of Catholic, Protestant and Jewish leaders plead for a new broth erhood of peace and religious progress. Sponsored by the Committee on Re ligious Life in the Nation’s Capital, the gathering was the first of its kind ever held in the United States. It marked the beginning of a country wide campaign in the interest of greater participation in worship, serv ice and religious practice. The audience, assembled under the threat of world conflict, broke into applause when Mr. Hull and other speakers urged individual loyalty to the humane principles taught by all the prophets and teachers of old. Church and State, the Secretary said, must labor together to prevent a repe tition of the "unforgetable horrors” of 1914-1918 and every man. woman and child, he declared, can and should share in the crusade. Calls War Barbarous. Mr. Hull was Introduced by Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington and chairman of the Interdenominatioial Committee. Dis cussing the perils threatening civil ization, the Secretary said: "In spite of all the dreams and hopes of humanity for a more peace ful world, there is still the well grounded fear that the nations have not turned away from war as a means of settling their disputes. "They discard the teachings of the church as well as the lessons of ex perience. They threaten the destruc tion of life and property and the substitution of comparative barbarism for the system of civilization that has been so laboriously built up through the generations, when, arming to an unprecedented extent, they seem to regard war as the inevitable method of composing their controversies. "The church is a sponsor and advo i cate of peace, and I know that you will agree with me that at this mo ment, when there is a menace of war that may not be confined to any two nations, there is a weighty obligation resting on the church to exert itself in every conceivable manner to impress the people with a hatred of war and a love of peace." 1 Right Rev. Ryan Sends Message, i Mr. Hull’s appeal was supported by a letter from Right Rev. James Hugh Ryan, rector of Catholic University and bishop-designate of Omaha, who was prevented by illness from attend lng. His message was read by Rev. Dr. Maurice S. Sheehy. Arguing the need for spiritual as well as po litical democracy as a bulwark for humane ideals of life, the bishop wrote: "Religion worthy of the name must not only be the texture of the soul, it must quicken all human activity, so cial as well as individual. And unless Jove of God and our fellowmen—-sin cere and sacrificial love—motivates i the human heart, the social changes of the past few years may become the chains to fetter generations jet unborn." 11 Dr. Abram Simon, rabbi of the Washington Hebrew Congregation, elicited a thunder of approval when i he sketched a world in which men were so nobly civilized that worship i e-rj in church, mosque and synagogue might clasp hands as brothers, the children of one universal Creator. Taking for his text Isaiah’s dream of R highway connecting Egypt, Assyria and Judea, he called for a highway of the spirit over which all races, all creeds, all Individuals might travel to peace and freedom. Objectives Outlined. The objectives of the meeting were outlined by Rev. Dr. Albert J. McCart ney. pastor of the Covenant-First f Presbyterian Church, i "We are here to dramatize three things,” he said, citing church attend »ance, church service and religious solidarity. "We believe that this dem onstration, therein Jew and Gentile, Protestant and Catholic, strike hands «in a common anxiety for the Kingdom '.of God, will prove inspiring to our Whole country.” Bishop Freeman pledged the sup port of the Episcopal communion. I doubt not.” he said, "that this unique effort grew out of the trying and ex acting conditions that have attended the long-continued and disastrous de pression. It is also indicative of the new spirit of comradship that is stir mg in the hearts of men who believe that religion in a democracy is in dispensable to its permanence and its security. "If in these critical days the im pact of the church of every name is J to be brought to bear upon our do tnestic. social, economic and political Institutions, it must be through such j co-operation as that to which this fellowship witnesses. The churches of ."this country represent a vast con r Rtituency of 55,000,000 members. True, they are of many and diverse systems j and usages, but despite the variety of »their names and shibboleths, they constitute a moral force that must 5 be reckoned with and that is indis pensable to our prosperity, peace and happiness."

FIRST IN SAFETY RATINGJSURGED Rev. W. S. Abernethy Hits One-Drink Drivers in Op timists’ Speech. Washington, the most beautiful city In the world, should be made the safest city and the strongest city morally, Rev. William S. Abernethy, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, told the Washington Optimists' Club at a luncheon meeting yesterday in the Hamilton Hotel. At this meeting the club indorsed the automobile safe-driving campaign Ot The Star Safety Council and en rolled its entire membership in the drive. Street and highway safety is the business of every member of society, Dr. Abernethy told the club. There must be a universal co-operation on the part of every motorist and every pedestrian, he reminded his listeners. "As we look at this appalling record of road disasters—36.000 killed in the United States last year. 135 killed last year tn the District of Columbia, more than 80 killed here so far this year—it is disgraceful,” Dr. Aber nethy said. Hits Drunk Driving. The speaker stressed the menace of drunken driving, and especially of the "one or two drink driver.” "You can't mix alcohol and gasoline successfully,” he said. "That is a somewhat trite saying, but one which Is tragically true. Conditions today are worse than before prohibition came in and they are infinitely worse than during prohibition at its worst. “It is not the fellow who is drunk Who constitutes the worst menace on the highway: it is the chap who has had just a little to drink and who thinks that he is all right. He would indignantly deny, if you taxed him, that he is in an unsafe condi tion to drive. But very often you will find that his muscular co-ordina tion Is not just right and that his mental reactions are slowed up. He is a menace to every one on the road—the more so because he thinks he is normal and makes no allowance for his condition.” Would Bolster Morals. Dr. Abernethy declared that, apart from the prohibition question, there Is a "moral sag apparent today." "Something,” he said, "must be done to bolster up the moral founda tion of the country.” Commenting on the now famous letter of President Roosevelt to the clergy, he said that he had written a reply, in which he called to the attention of the President the biblical passage, "When they were at their wits’ end then they called upon Jehovah.” He commented that the appeal to the clergy for its support had come "about 2'^ years too late." Under the leadership of President Joseph H. Rice, members of the club, 150 strong, signed safe-driving pledges, which were presented formally to a representative of The Star Safety Council, with the promise that the dub would co-operate In any way possible in furthering the cause of safety on the streets and highways of Washington.

OLD INHABITANTS Association Also Goes on Record as Opposing Gas Tax Diversion. The Star's traffic safety campaign was indorsed enthusiastically last night by the Association of Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Co lumbia. The matter was brought up by C. J. MacMurray, who highly commended the campaign of The Evening Star Safety Council. He introduced a reso lution placing the association on rec ord formally supporting the campaign. John Clagett Proctor, vice president of the association, declared the re sults should be to make the streets safer for "motorists, pedestrians and •very one.” The association, after some debate, went on record as opposed to the proposal to divert the District of Co lumbia gasoline tax to general funds of the District to be used for other purposes than highways. Charges Double Taxation. The matter was presented to the association by Richard M. Ham. direc tor of safety of the District of Co lumbia Motor Club. He charged that to divert the gas tax to other pur poses would amount to "double taxa tion.” Motor taxes, he said, "are spe cial additional levies for a special pur pose, and their application to any thing but that particular purpose con stitutes discrimination.” Opposition to diversion of such taxes was said by the speaker to have been embodied by Congress in the Hayden-Cartwright Federal aid authorization bill of 1934. Ham said Commissioner George E. Allen favored diversion of gas taxes. Allen’s views, said the speaker, "are at such wide variance with generally approved and well established motor tax principles that they must be chal lenged as revolutionary and directly Involving the interest of the owners of our 163,000 motor vehicles in the Dis trict of Columbia.” Attacking the proposed diversion. Lemuel A. Carruthers charged it would be contrary to the basic principles of taxation. While the gas tax now was said by the speaker to be sufficient for Its purpose of highway maintenance, Carruthers suggested that if it were to be diverted this would furnish an excuse for a substantial increase in the gas tax. which would not be justi fied. Certain Marylanders and Vir ginians, he said, would like to see the District gas tax increased from its present 2-cent level because of the 5-cent tax in Virginia and the 4 cent tax in Maryland. John B. Dickman spoke in favor of diversion of the tax. He said the present system of keeping the tax for highway purposes alone "savors of class legislation.” He declared it would be as logical to say that all taxes on shoe stores should be used for im proving the shoe store business. All taxes, he argued, should go into the common fund. Objection Raised. Max Kohner objected to the shoe *tor& argument as not comparable. He said he had no automobile, but favored using the gas tax for high ways only. The resolution on the matter, intro duced by J. Eliot Wright, and passed by the association, with only a few dissenting votes, said ”we are opposed to the diversion of the revenues re ceived from the special gasoline tax in the District of Columbia to other than highway purposes.” The resolution indorsed "in letter and in spirit the stand on this ques tion taken by the District of Colum bia Motor Club, as communicated to the Board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia under date of September 13. 1935.” Center Fund Plan Studied. A proposal from the Board of Trade asking support for the proposal to build part of the Municipal Center from funds to be allocated by Secre tary of the Interior Ickes was referred to the delegates of the association to the Federation of Citizens’ Associa tions. Carruthers said Senator King of Utah, chairman of the Senate Dis trict Committee, has in mind intro ducing legislaticn to get money for this from other sources. On Wright’s motion Walter E. Al len was elected a vice president of the association, filling a vacancy at the foot of the line left by the death of John Joy Edson, one of the senior vice presidents. Kchner suggested that, the associa tion observe its seventieth birthday anniversary next December at its an nual banquet In elaborate fashion, with a published souvenir relating the history of the association. The matter was referred to Wright, chairman of the Entertainment Committee. The development of the association since he became a member in 1903 w as traced by Wright in an interesting paper read to the organization. He gave an accounting of his stewardship j as secretary-treasurer. During 14 years he said 590 members had been admitted, 416 had died. 130 had re signed or been dropped, leaving a membership now of 435. "I am next to the oldest, member in point of membership,” said Wright, i "There is only one person who has! been a member longer than I, and DEEP fat fried to a golden brown and served sizzling hot. It’s a treat! FREE! Recipe booklet, “Delicious Fish Dishes." Write, Gorton-Pcw Fisheries, Gloucester, Mass. that Is Christian Heurich, who has been a member 35 years, having joined the association in 1900.” Elra C. Palmer, referring to a story in a recent issue of "This Week," magazine feature of The Sunday Star, gave extensive and interesting remin iscences of the late Freeman Adams Oliver, musician, uncle of the actress Edna May Oliver. He told of Oliver's expert knowledge of old violins, and also reminisced of Dwight J. Partello, violin maker, formerly of this city, who once refused an offer, he said, of about $14,000 for a jtradivarius. Proctor announced the unveiling next Wednesday at 3 p.m. of a bronze marker on the sit of the residence of George Bancroft, former Secretary of the Navy and “father" of the Naval Academy, at 1625 H street. Two new members were admitted, J. Walker McDonald and Carruthers. Among new members of the associa tion who signed the constitution and by-laws last night were Inspector Frank S. W. Burke and Inspector Al bert J. Headley, retired, of the Police Department.

TOWN’S RELIEF TOTAL ONLY $162 IN YEAR Fall Creek (Wis.) Population Thrifty and Frugal, lay Officials in Report. By the Associated Press. FALL CREEK, Wis., October 3 Fail Creek counted its relief bill for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1935, found It had expended $162.89, and decided its population was thrifty and frugal. In the five-year depression period, officials said, local relief was not necessary until June, 1933, when an aged resident applied for and received help. Four persons, two of them aged, are the only relief charges now. Officials said the situation was due to “the spirit of self-reliance and re sourcefulness of the citizens, which prompts them to work out their own i economic salvation when the going gets rough."

All rights of publication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. War! Despite feverish months of preventive effort by the League and its dominant members, Great Britain and France, the unbelievable has come to pass. War has broken out in Africa. According to credible reports, Italian troops have en tered Ethiopia at three points, near Adowa in the northwestern sector of the Eritrean front, farther east close to the junction between Eritrea and French Somaliland and in the south from Italian Somaliland. Fighting has taken place and casualties are reported, first Indications of a furious conflict between the highly trained and well armed forces of Italy and the poorly armed but des perately courageous masses of Ethi opians. “A solemn hour is about to strike in the history of the country,” II Duce thun dered last night to millions of Italians assembled in a Fascist mass mobiliza tion. “We have been patient with Ethi opia for forty years. It is enough now!” he added, amid the frenzied cheers of his subjects in every nook and comer of the peninsula. Thus, a bare seventeen years after that November Armistice day which was to signalize the end of fratricidal strife among the nations, war raises its ugly head again. Civilized man kind, dismayed and disillusioned, faces In consternation and anxiety the incal culable consequences which may ensue, rot only in Africa, but in Europe and throughout the world, from this tragic breakdown of international peace ma chinery. If it turn out that Italy has un pro vokedly resorted to military ac tion which would automatically brand her as the aggressor, the League, in accordance with steps already taken, will presumably proceed to impose sanctions. Intensive diplomatic ne gotiations between Great Britain and France appear at length to have brought about final agreement for joint economic and financial pressure against Italy once it is formally decreed. French reluctance to join in coersive measures seems to have yielded in the face of German assurances, obtained by London, that Hitler would neither make common cause with Italy nor exploit the situation as an opportunity for attacking France. The stage, therefore, is set for that collective resistance with which II Duce has consistently been threatened if he renounced the agencies of peace in favor of the brute force of war. In the defiant outburst addressed to his adherents on Wednesday, Mussolini held out the prospect that economic auctions would not necessarily lead to war. To them, he fulminated, “we shall answer with our discipline, our spirit of sacrifice, our obedience. To military sanctions we shall reply with military measures. To acts of war we shall re spond with acts of war.” By “military sanctions” and “acts of war,” the Roman dictator unquestionably means reprisals like the closing of the Suez Canal and a blockade of the Italian coasts by British and French fleets. Amid his bombast that “nothing can now stop the wheel of Fascist destiny”— a larger place In the colonial sun—Mus solini does not conceal his fears of European complications. He refuses to believe that either Britain or France would permit blood to be spilled in Europe, and “sacredly pledges” himself to do everything in his power to prevent a “colonial conflict” from taking on the “aspect and weight of a European war.” II Duce only thinly veils his belief that such a catastrophe is a “possible devel opment of tomorrow,” as, of course, it is. The League, in the teeth of a situation over which it has obviously lost control, Is sure to make a last desperate attempt to check the war, which is now in its first stage. Failing to do so, sanc tions will be imperatively in order. Un less they are enforced, all concerned must be aware that the last vestige of League prestige and authority will dis appear beyond redemption. The pre vailing temper in London and Paris, notably in the British capital, indicates that Italy is altogether likely to find herself subjected to sanctions. On the face of things, they should eventually bring Mussolini to terms, but sanctions will not be applied for weeks to come. By that time, in light of fast-moving events, East Africa may be drenched in blood and the Italian campaign in Ethi opia well advanced toward its goal. No Potato Control. When is a law not a law? There are various answers. One of them is when the Supreme Court rules that it is un constitutional. Another is when the ad ministration lacks the funds for its en forcement. Still another is when the administration does not wish to en force it. The potato-control law is not going to be enforced. That was definitely stated yesterday by the Secretary of Agriculture. There seems to be no doubt I on the subject. Not only is there lack of enforcement funds, but the difficul ties in the’way of enforcement, with a punitive tax against growers who at tempt to sell more than their allotted quotas, are too great to be met. This potato-control item was added to one of the administration-recom mended measures in the course of its passage through Congress. It was not of itself an inspiration from “up the street.” It was, like that of the naughty little girl who misbehaved at a party, the “own idea” of one or a group of law makers, abetted by a sufficient support to get the amendment adopted. So large a part of the legislation enacted during the past two sessions of Congress has been conceived by the administration that in the public mind at present the process of law making has been altogether altered from that provided by the Constitution, which set up a legislative branch of the Govern ment distinct from the law-enforcing branch. So it was quite natural that the notion spread that the potato-control law was proposed to Congress from somewhere else. This led to the im pression, when the absurdities of the new law became evident, that the ad ministration was glad to find a reason for non-enforcement in the lack of funds due to the failure of the third deficiency bill, killed by the Long filibuster. Now it appears that that impression is in correct. The administration does not like the law and does not want to en force it4 and will not try to enforce it. Still, it is an act of Congress. What would have been the case if there were no lack of funds? Would the law have been shelved just the same? America’s Hope. In the most explicit terms possible President Roosevelt yesterday, at San Diego, expressed the intention of this country to keep aloof from any foreign conflict. He said: “As President of the United States I say to you most earnestly once more that the people of America and the Government of those people intend to remain at peace with all the world.” The United States has no “entangle ment” that at this juncture of affairs overseas involves it in any obligation to participate in a war. It is not a member of the League of Nations, is not even an adherent of the World Court. It cannot be obligated by “sanctions” to engage in economic penalties upon a nation that violates the principles of interna tional conduct laid down by the League. The President unquestionably speaks for virtually the entire Nation when he declares for absolute neutrality and for abstention from any manner or degree of participation in a foreign conflict. Sentimental partisanship as to the imme diately prospective contention there is, undeniably, in this country. But that does not reach the point of advocacy of engagement in the contest, to any extent, by more than a very small minority. In case the war that now seems to have started with Italy's invasion is confined to the immediate antagon ists, Italy and Ethiopia, within the African arena beyond which, in such circumstances, it cannot conceivably spread, there is little or no chance of any complication arising to in volve the interests of this country. As far as those two antagonists are con cerned American neutrality is positively assured. That was the case twenty-one years ago when war was declared between Austria and Serbia. It seemed to be the case even when Germany, Russia, Prance, Belgium, England, later Italy and eventually other countries overseas joined in the melee. It ceased to be the case when with virtually all of the Old World enlisted American interests were assailed, grievous injuries were in flicted and participation by the United States became inevitable. The assurance of strict neutrality and firm determination “to remain at peace with all the world” can go no further than the immediate and prospective con ditions permit. A pledge of neutrality given now does not cover every possibil ity of development. If the flames now crackling in Africa spread to Europe a situation will arise in which such a pledge could not be positively given. Just so it was in the Summer of 1914, though there was little thought then that the war would spread so rapidly and so far. American interests are more than likely to be exposed to injury if the conflict spreads and the war is waged upon the seas. The prayer of the American people to day is that there will be no such de velopment, that the strife will be con fined to Africa, that there will be no alignment of partisans such as has been indicated in the speculations arising from the negotiations for a pacific ad justment. They hope that reason and the most enlightened self-interest of the European powers will at least effect the restriction of the war to the arena of provocation. This hope is inspired not altogether by fear of the possible em broilment of America. It arises quite as definitely from the dread of the ghastly spectacle of a general European war, even though that might not menace America with involvement. Truly, indeed, the “people of America and the Government of those people intend to remain at peace with all the world.” They hope that that Intention will be maintained even though the sparks now flying in Africa spread a general conflagration in Europe. The First Game. An old base ball truism runs, "One game does not make a series.” Detroit’s partisans in the world championship contest which began yesterday in that city are getting some consolation out of that undeniable reflection. The ulti mate honors will go to the team that wins four out of the seven possible games, and the one game won yesterday by the rampageous Cubs—who took their league pennant by winning twen ty-one games straight—is only one fourth of the required string of victories. Nevertheless, that first game, so tidily taken by the National league repre sentatives, against Detroit’s best pitcher, has thrown a heavy cloud upon the pros pect from the Detroit viewpoint. But base ball is notoriously unguess able. Games have a strange way of suddenly going screwy and upsetting all the logic. Players of losing teams sometimes snap out of their doldrums and get fighting mad and win against all the odds that previous failure has piled up against them. Pitchers have regained their cunning, batsmen have found their “eyes" and teams have come from behind in apparently lost games and in seemingly lost series. So that may happen somewhere within the range of tills year’s battle. It may happen even when Chicago has taken three games to none, if that should occur. That would be a sensation, indeed. The old, old adage that “the game is not over until the last man is out in the last inning" applies to a limited series of games as well as to a series of games. The financially disin terested patrons of the sport, who have no concern in the “gate” and nothing at stake in wagers, would like to see a seven-game series, with the teams fight ing to the final putout of the final game. That is base ball at its best. And a world series should always be base ball at its best.N Artists of all kind are to be provided for from public relief funds. Big money has often gone into art. A million may finance a show, but a billion will not serve to create a comfortable im presario. Many a Western farmer is enthusias tic over a system which enables him to collect cash for food destruction. But the farmer himself may find the income insufficient to buy pork chops and pota toes for his own family. A reckless spirit of bravery is being promoted. Even motorists are being re minded that an Army tank is not always more dangerous than the family auto mobile. Three men died in the test of a new explosive in a stone quarry near Balti more. The strictly impersonal scientific mind may at least find gratification In proof that the explosive works. Wagner's poetry and music should have more encouragement in the hope of persuading nations to sing about the Rhine instead of fighting over it. Real peace cannot be assured until the war craft In the Mediterranean can be dispersed to make room once more for the private yachts. The old Republican elephant has no relation with parlor socialism. There will be an elephant in the campaign parade and it will not be a pink elephant. The task of stamping potatoes might cause further complications. Too much energy would produce a mashed potato, thereby calling for a processing tax. Base ball maintains a strictly Ameri can statns. No team ever crosses the ocean to compete in a world series. New York Is rebelling against disturb ing noises. It has not yet undertaken to conquer radio. There may be a feeling that days were happier in Italy when Caruso was better known than Mussolini. Shooting Stars. BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. Human Sympathy.

But It’s harder since dey been raisin’ armies to fight about it.” THE POLITICAL MILL By G. Gould Lijfoln. Northern California is to be the scene of a Republican rally and drive this week, with former President Herbert Hoover, titular leader of the G. O. P. as the principal speaker. The Republican gathering comes on the heels of Presi dent Roosevelt’s Democratic drive in Southern California, Los Angeles and San Diego, where he spoke strongly for the New Deal and pleaded to the liberals of all faiths to “unite.” The “Western States Republican Convention,” which opens in Oakland tomorrow and runs through Saturday and Sunday, is being staged by the younger Republicans of 11 Western States—California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Ne vada, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The California Repub lican assembly is the host of the con vention.

The address by Mr. Hoover will be a campaign speech, aimed at the Roosevelt New Deal. The former President, it is .clear, intends to take an active part in the fight to defeat Roosevelt in the coming national campaign. He is still the titular head of the Republican party and as such he believes he should be in the front line of the battle against the New Deal, which he has charged breaks down the American system of Government. This will be the attitude of Mr. Hoover from now on, it is said by his friends. He is not offering himself as a candidate for the presidency, but he is bent on carrying the war to the New Dealers, they say. Moreover, it is clear that Mr. Hoover will use whatever influence he may have in the coming Republican National Convention to make the G. O. P. platform a condemnation of the Roosevelt New Deal from stem to stem. Because Mr. Hoover was badly beaten In the national election of 1932, some of the Republicans look askance at his political activity. They fear that the people will come to believe that the Re publican campaign is for a return to Hoover, and they do not believe that a Republican campaign so labeled will aid the G. O. P. They would like to see Mr. Hoover retire from public view, say nothing about policies or candidates, and issue a statement to the effect that he will under no circumstances accept the presidential nomination. These'Repub licans may yet come to the view that the issue in the 1936 campaign will not be Mr. Hoover, but President Roosevelt and the things he has stood for. That such will be the issue, despite the very desperate efforts of the Roosevelt Demo crats to make it otherwise and to drag the depression of 1929 on across the trail, with Mr. Hoover as their particular target, is becoming clearer and clearer. What Roosevelt has done or not done in the last three years will be the real subjects of interest to the voters—not what Mr. Hoover did in the earlier four years.

More and more it looks as though the Democrats were looking to the "solid South” and the Midwest and the West, with the border States thrown in. to re elect President Roosevelt next year. The play to the farmers by the President on I his present trip, his assurance that Government checks will be paid to them for complying with the A. A. A. crop curtailment program, whether the Su preme Court turns down the present processing taxes or not, is indicative of the desire to hold the West. Incidentally, the President s statement regarding the payment of the farmers for complying with the A. A. A. program was an alibi for any new tax legislation that may be necessary at the coming session of Con gress. And if new taxes are put through to take the place of the processing taxes they will be no light affair. For the processing taxes at present bring into the Government hundreds of millions of dollars annually, to be distributed to the farmers. j. The Roosevelt Democrats are by no means letting up in their desire to carry the States of New England and the East. But the anti-Roosevelt sentiment is more rampant in those sections. It may be difficult to persuade the people of Mas sachusetts and of Pennsylvania, of New Jersey and New York and Maryland to back the New Deal in the coming elec tion. For that reason the Democrats, if they lay out a' sound campaign, will make tremendous efforts to win again in New York. New Jersey and Pennsylvania, for example. So far as New England is concerned. Democratic leaders informally say they can get along without those six States. The Republicans are really becoming active at last. Every time President Roosevelt opens his mouth Republican leaders hurl back criticisms at him. They are planning to use the radio in a big way. Chester C. Bolton. Representative from Ohio, chairman of the Congres sional Campaign Committee, in a speech delivered over the Columbia Broadcast ing System last night, charged that “President Roosevelt once more is mak ing promises to the American people in the hope of reviving a lost confidence in the New Deal.” The Ohio Representa tive referred to the New Deal Congresses as entirely subservient to the Chief Ex ecutive and insisted that what the country really needed to check the dic tatorship of Roosevelt was a return to “legislative responsibility.”

The Republican leaders continue to insist that there rAust be no talk of candidates. If they keep that kind of thing up long enough the people may come to believe that there are no Re publican candidates worthy of the name. The sooner strong Republican contest ants for the presidential nomination be come widely known to the people the better chances of success for the party. There is a theory now advanced by some of the older leaders In the G. O. P. organization that the thing to do is to send a lot of favorite-son candidates to the next national convention, so that no candidate may stand in a dominant position. Their theory is that then the Republican delegates to the convention may get together and. after full and free consideration, nominate the bestman. The chances are, however, that if the con vention opens with a plethora of favor ite-son candidates to make it possible to tie up the convention, deadlock it, on the question of the presidential nom ination. And when such a deadlock comes It is not the general mass of the delegates to the convention which makes the selection of the compromise candi date, but a small group of dominant leaders. That group gets the man it believes will stand for policies in which the group believes. When a small group has nominated a candidate it can also look to him for favors. From that angle this favorite-son candidate idea for the next Republican national convention does not look so attractive. It might easily lead to another 1930 convention, where the late President Harding emerged as the party’s choice after a group of the leaders had come to their own conclusions in a smoke-filled hotel mm in Urn early hours at tbs morning. THIS AND THAT BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL. However It may be about ‘‘sealing wax i and Icings,” there can be no doubt about the former. The use of wax with a seal is still a pleasant amenity in letter writing. a Unfortunately, it seems to have suf fered an eclipse, at least temporarily. No doubt it will come back again, and then every letter will be adorned on the back with a red splotch of wax. Red, of course, has been the favorite color for centuries, not only on letters, but in all sorts of sealing. Court seals were and still are done in bright red wax. Old seals on college diplomas are bright red, though the men who earned them are gone.

We were reminded of seals by the receipt of a letter on which one had been used. It was of a coat of arms, bearing a horseshoe, with a crown above. The signet had been pressed down on the melted wax, leaving these impres sions very clearly. In the midst of a busy day it was pleasant to receive a letter so carefully prepared. Surely, when a letter writer goes to that extra trouble it shows that the missive has some thought put on it. While family seals are perhaps best for such usage, there is no reason in the world why the entire gamut of life's occupa tions, and especially life's enthusiasms, might not be run in seals. Nor is there any need of sticking to deep red. If one were a victim of the aquatic hobby and fancied the use of the angel flsh on his seal, he ought to make use of pale blue or green wax. dr 3k 3k What could make a better letter seal for a tropical fish enthusiast than the angel? That royal creature, with its unbe lievably odd shape, its extended dorsal fin and its queer "feelers,” would strike a note of distinction on any letter. No doubt it could be idealized a bit and simplified for seal usage without losing any of its distinction.

One of the fine things about the letter seal, it has always seemed to us, is the distinctiveness of it. Despite the fact that sealing letters is as old as the hills, literally, and equally open to any one with the price, few per sons indulge in it. Surely it is a great deal of bother, or trouble, in the vernacular. Sometimes it seems as if everything worth while is a trouble to some one. One is reminded of the old story of the mountain boy who watched the visitor to the cabin make his morning toilet. "You are a great deal o' trouble to yer self, ain’t ye, mister?” he finally said. Life is that way at certain times for all of us. The mere everyday usages at times strike us all, even with the best of inten tions, as something tiresome and bore some, to be got over and finished as soon as possible.

Perhaps most of us tackle our corre spondence in such a spirit. Instead of making our letters, especially STARS, MEN AND ATOMS Notebook of Science Progress in Field, n Laboratory and Study. BY THOMAS R. HEKRY. A sky-rocket universe is postulated by Dr. Ross Gunn, physicist of the Naval Research Laboratory, here. The picture of stars and galaxies of billions of stars flying into space like so many exploding rockets, pushed by the recoils of their own radiation, results from the Navy physicists effort to pro vide a mathematical solution for the riddle of the expanding universe, one of the weirdest conceptions of the new astronomy. The so-called "island universes,” aggregations of stars comparable in size to the Milky Way galaxy itself, but separated from it by millions of light j years of empty space, appear to be mov ing outward at terriffic speeds which increase with a regular progression the greater their distance. So well has this movement been established during the past few years by astronomers of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, sta tioned at the Mount Wilson Observatory, that it now is generally accepted and the distance of the galaxy itself calcu lated from the speed of its recession. But this is against all the logic of classical astronomy with its universally acting chains of gravity tying creation together. The tendency should be for the great aggregations of stars to pull each other inward toward a common center. At the best, through their orbital speed, they would be able to do no more than retain their positions. Yet the fact remains that they are mov ing outward, apparently compelled by some opposite force even greater than gravity itself. Various efforts have been made to explain the strange phenomenon, most of which have postulated some spe cial property of space. Nobody has been able to explain it in terms of the familiar Euclidian space of three dimensions. In one notable theory an actual hypothetical force acting opposite to gravity—the “cosmic force” of Le Maitre, is postu lated. It is the force of outward move ment imparted by the explosion of the original extraordinary atom which was the parent of the universe. w w The Washington physicist finds an ex planation that fits the observed rate of expansion in the kick-back of radiation. Every luminous body, such as a star, is constantly emitting vast quantities of radiation into space. There is a kick back, like the kick of a gun against the shoulder when it is fired. Propulsion bv this means is the fundamental prin ciple behind all proposed rocket ships for the conquest of space. They would be propelled by a constant series of explo sions directed in the opposite direction to the desired line of flight. Now if a star were emitting radiation equally from all points on its surface, the kick-back would be neutralized in every direction and there would be no effect on its movement. This usually has been assumed to be the case. Consequently astronomers have not taken rocket pro pulsion into consideration in celestial mechanics. It was supposed that a star was equally hot all over. But, says Dr. Gunn in explaining his novel hypothesis in the Journal of the Franklin Institute, there is no valid reason for this supposition. Some parts of the surface of a star, he believes, are hotter than others. Consequently they are emitting more radiation and there is a disbalance of the kick-back tending to push the star in the direction of its cooler surface. This follows, says the Navy physicist, from the supposed history of a celestial body. It is calculated that once in ap proximately a billion years every star in ttu galaxy goaa through tha proc a— of small personal notes, the Joyous task they seemed to have been to men and women of the older days, we usually put letter writing off as long as possible, with the hope that maybe no answer will be nec essary. Then when we no longer can get out of it something of shame over comes us and we write in a cramped hand and as little as possible. How can a letter reflect much except hurry under such circumstances. It Is no wonder that modem letter writing as an art does not amount to anything. It seems to have been different in the old days. They did not have as much to occupy them, undoubtedly. Their amusements did not come slithering into their homes invisibly. They did not have the clamor of modern publicity to make for dissatis faction with the simple things. Therefore it must have been a real treat to sit down at a neat desk, with plenty of good paper and ink and sealing wax, and indite in a fair hand the thoughts which came to a mind untram meled except by the good repressions of those times.

The very spirit of the seal and sealing wax no doubt makes it a leisurely occu pation. Those of us today who rattle, thoughts off on typewriters have only to go back for a time to pen and ink to see shortly that the slower the physical writing, as such, the more complete the mental action between the lines. That is why a great many persons still insist on outlining what they want to say in pencil before they touch typewriter. Speed is not confined to the highway, but makes its way even to the quietest desk. Sealing a letter, fortunately, is not a job to be undertaken lightly nor in a hurry. Usually nowadays it is confined to let ters which are to be sent to those the sender thinks would appreciate the little extra courtesy. Because a letter seal is indeed a cour tesy to the receiver. It means that he or she was held to be one who under stands the amenities. A seal on a letter to a person who does not even notice it is throwing pearls before swine. Seals should be kept, and almost always are. for those correspondents who natu rally have an instinct for the best, who receive pleasure out of good paper and penmanship and especially from the thoughts contained in the writing.

The very formality of a seal says prep aration. It will be held “too much trouble" by many, and no one would quarrel with I them. Those who have the time and the in clination—and the seal—will do well to continue to use it, at least upon occasion. It bespeaks the mind filled with more than just the fulfillment of a duty, as important as that is. The seal ties ancient times to the very latest moment in a pleasant, courteous way, without ostentation, but at the same time with a very firm reminder that the user knows a thing or two. becoming a “nova”—flaring up with ex I traordinary brilliance for a few months and then declining. What actually hap pens. he says, Is that the star through j the violence of the internal forces which j caused the explosion, splits into two or I more parts. A double star may result, i or even a planetary system such as that I of the sun. Now the surface of such a new star which has been broken off from the interior will be very much hotter than j the other face which was part of the exterior. Supposing the surface tem perature of a star was 6,000 C. The interior temperature probably would run as high as 10,000.000 degrees. Conse quently there would be about this differ i ence in the radiation of the two faces of stars resulting from a split. One side would be causing enormously greater radiation repulsion than the i other. Consequently the stellar body would be pushed with enormous energy in the direction of the cooler side. This, says Dr. Gunn, accounts well enough for some of the observed velocities of va rious types of stars within the Milky Way galaxy itself. A lesser degree of radiation asymetry, he believes, accounts well enough for starting the stars in their original rotations.

Now, Dr. Gunn says, it can be calcu lated from the present rate of recession that all the millions of galaxies in cre ation must have been very close together about ten billion years ago. They may very well have been combined into a single, rather closely packed, super nebulae. In some way or other—perhaps because of some slight radiation asymetry on its surface, this nebulae started ro tating. The rotation became so rapid that it flew asunder into millions of fragments—themselves aggregations of stars approaching in magnitude the pres ent Milky Way galaxy. Now the original super-nebula, like any individual star, was most closely packed and hottest at its center. Con sequently the edges of the galaxies re sulting from the smash-up which were tom from the interior were hotter than the surfaces which were closer to the edge of the parent system. Consequently there would be an enormous radiation propulsion outward, overcoming the forces of gravity which were tending to pull the fragments together. The closer they were to each other the greater the gravitational pull. The IWrther apart they were pushed the less resistance the rocket effect had to overcome. Conse quently the farther away they were the faster they moved outward. That, says Dr. Gunn, Is precisely what the astron omers are observing today. There is no need, he says, of any assumption of hyper-dimensional space structure of an Einsteinian sort to ex plain it. It may be a movement out ward in three-dimensional, Euclidian space—the movement resulting from the repulsion being along straight lines. Eventually this asymetry between the different edges of a galaxy will tend to disappear as more and more heat is radiated until Anally it will not be suffi cient to overcome gravity and there will be a condensation—possibly to some such state as may have existed at the begin ing. He says the Anal state of the uni verse is “a condensed system of rela tively cold bodies describing gravitational orbits about a common center of gravity with a velocity nearly that of light.” By applying this hypothesis, says Dr. Gunn, it is possible to calculate the age of the universe. It turns out to be about ten billion years, which is in general conformity with the age reached fagr other oalrulationi. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS By Frederic J. Haskin.

Q Who was the Young Chevalier?— F. M A. This title was given to Charles J Edward Stuart, son of the Old Pretender. Q. Of what materials is soil made? —P. R. T. A. Soil is the surface layer of earth on which the land plants grow. It is derived from and therefore is made of the same constituents as the rocks, bus it has been subject to the action of air j and water, which have altered and re moved some of the original components j so that the proportions of the various substances in the soil are not the same as in the parent rock. The mineral par i tides constitute the basis or foundation of the soil, but not the whole of it. In any region where rainfall and tempera-, ture conditions are favorable, vegetation rapidly springs up, obtaining its mineral nutrients and its nitrogen from the soil. The plants build up complex organic matter from the carbon dioxide of the air. using for this purpose the energy of sunlight, and when they die and their dead remains fall back on the soil there is Introduced a new group of constituents, organic substances containing nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, etc., and also stored-up energy. These two com ponents, the mineral substances derived from the rock and the organic substances derived from previous generations of plants, constitute soil. Q. How many telephone calls are made annually in the United States?—J. L. A. Telephone users in this country made 24.000,000.000 local and long-dis tance calls during 1933. Q. To what denomination did Bee thoven belong?—W. C. A. Apparently, the great musician had no formal religion. He was, however, deeply religious. Just before his death he received the sacraments of the church. Q. Please give some information about the Hare Indians.—S. F. A. They are a tribe of Athapascan j stock, living in the extreme northwest of Canada. They rely greatly upon the Arctic hare for food and clothing, hence their name, but also fish, and hunt the caribou. There are about 700 of them. Q. What is the superstition about the elder?—T. P. A. The elder and the spirit of the elder appear frequently in the mythology of the I peoples of Northern Europe. The Dane? 1 believed it bad luck to use the wood for furniture. The Russians believed the elder drove away evil spirits. There was also a medieval tradition that Judas hanged himself on an elder. Q. How is the com removed from the cob at the large canning factories? N. T. N. A. The National Canners’ Association says that commercial canneries use a i series of cutters forming a circle and the corn is cut as it passes these sharp circles. Q. Where is Morehouse College?— J. H. M. A. It is a college for Negro men at Atlanta, Ga With it is affiliated Spel man Seminary, a training school for Negro women, teachers and nurses, many of whom have gone as missionaries to Africa. Q. When was Cadiz an important city?—P. L. F. A. Throughout its long, history this city of Spain has maintained its promi nence in the world since its earliest founding by the Phoenicians, about 1100 B.C. It has been occupied by many j races: In 501 B.C. by the Carthaginians: in 49 B.C. by Rome, when it was known as the Joyous City, its cooking and danc ing girls being famous throughout the j civilized world. After the discovery of America it became the headquarters of the Spanish treasure fleet and was known as the wealthiest port of West ern Europe. It was burned and sacked by Sir Francis Drake, by the Earl of j Essex and by Lord Charles Howard, but 1 each time recovered to a greater splen dor. About 1765 its wealth was said to be greater than that of London. Q What was the date of the assas sination of Gov. Steunenberg of Idaho? —M. P. A. It was on December 30, 1905, Q Please describe the depository which is to be built to hold the gold stock of the Treasury.—K. G. F. A. A bullion depository will be con structed at Fort Knox, Ky. Fort Knox is a military reservation. The building will cost approximately $524,000. A giant steel and concrete vault capable of hold ing $19,000,000,000 in gold, or twice the Treasury's stock, will be suspended, its four sides open to continual inspection. The roof of the Kentucky stronghold is to be of granite, and will therefore be bombproof.

Edward Braddock, under whom George Wash ington served before the Revolution, died here yesterday at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Edmonston. Mr. Braddock was a member of one of Montgomery County’s pioneer families, a family which at one time owned considerable holdings around Rockville. His grandfather constructed the Hungerford Tavern in Rockville In 1817, before the town's name was changed from Willlamsburgh. Born Near Rockville. The son of George Reeve and Tabitha Austin Braddock, he was born in 1854 on what Is now the Christ Child Society Farm, near Rockville, and, with the exception of a few years in the West, he spent his entire life in Montgomery. Mr. Braddock was the husband of the late Marie Antoinette Braddock. He was identified with the newspa per profession for many years, serving with the Sentinel and Advocate in Rockville and at one time being the editor and publisher of a newspaper in Columbus, Ohio. Burial in Oklahoma. In addition to Mrs. Edmonston, Mr. Braddock is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Blanche Braddock Creamer of Rockville and Washington, and Mrs. Catherine Braddock Pyles of San Francisco and Washington; another daughter, Mrs. Leslie Daniels of Okla homa City, and two sons, E. Reeves Braddock of Oklahoma City and George Braddock of Minneapolis. Final rites were held this afternoon at the Colonial funeral home of W. Reuben Pumphrey in Rockville and interment is to be in Oklahoma City, where his wife is buried. Shipping Gain Forecast.
