Italian charges declared tribesmen of Ethiopia had mutilated “numerous children” in an attack on Italian sub- jects, natives of Dancali, Eritrea. The British cabinet considered, but was understood to have made no de- cision on, what steps it should take, especially at Geneva, to preserve the peace. At Geneva, League of Nations au- thorities said smaller nations would demand that the council, which is ex- pected to meet shortly, protect the integrity of Ethiopia. U. 8. Seeks Peace Emphasizing the American govern- ment’s desire for a peaceful settle- ment of the Italo-Ethiopian crisis, William Phillips, acting secretary of state, revealed in Washington that all American envoys abroad have been authorized to inform other pow- ers of the United States’ attitude. Reviewing Ethiopia’s past relations with Italy and the events from the skirmish at Ualual last December until now, the Emperor Selassie des- cribed Ethiopia’s efforts for a peace- ful settlement of the dispute and also similar efforts by the British which, he said, Premier Mussolini of Italy had “ rejected.” He said the fact that Italian mili- tary preparations were continuing proved Italy’s intention to conquer Ethiopia forcibly and said the danger of war was evident despite the fact that Ethiopia was profoundly imbued with respect for promises and the sanctity of treaties. He said Ethiopia did not wish war but would defend herself to the last man if attacked. Charge Mutilation Meanwhile Italy charged Ethiopian tribesmen Thursday with “mutilating numerous children” in a mass atiack on defenseless natives of Eritrean Dancali. ‘Widespread indignation was arous- ed as the full details of the alleged raid on the Italian colony May 31, charged in a propaganda ministry communique, were published for the first time in Thursday morning's Italian press. Premier Benito Miussolini’s own the Italo-Ethiopian crisis in an ar- ticle believed to have been written or at least inspired by Il Duce himself, asserted: A government spokesman gave as- surance that Italy watched develop- ments toward Ethiopian mobilization and a special session of the League of Nations council, confident of its own preparedness and the justifica- tion of its cause. No Invitation Received Stating Italy’s cause was justifi- able, he asserted the nation has re- ceived no invitation to an extraordin- ary league council meeting about July 25 to deal with the Italo-Ethio- pian impasse. Responsibility for Italy’s difficul- ties with Ethiopia were laid by the newspaper upon the’ East African empire itself and upon “foreign ad- venturers who furnished it with arms.” The ministry of propaganda’s com- munique emphasized what it called the bestiality of the Ethiopian raid- ers. “Numerous children were mutil- ated and left bleeding along the paths of the tribal invasion,” it said.

GERMANY ORDERS DECREES ENFORCED AGAINST CATHOLICS Concordat With Vatican Being Abrogated; New Minis- try Seen Berlin, July 18—(7)—Gen. Her- mann Wilhelm Goering, minister of aviation and commander of Ger- many’s secret police, Thursday issued an order to criminal prosecution authorities to enforce strictly the ex- isting decrees against “political Ca- tholicism.” oGering said this Catholicism “must be overcome by positive na- tions] socialism.” Foreshadowing the end of alf-Ca- tholic youth organizations, he stres- sed the important task which the Hitler youth movement faces in the present clash between the philoso- phies of life. The order follows shortly after a bitter protest by the Catholic church against the sterilization law, the re- striction of Catholic youth organiz- ations, and the use of Rosenberg’s paganistic book “The Mystery of the Twentieth Century” as often causing @ violation of the concordat with the Vatican. Conditions Laid Down Catholic priests who are religious teachers will be tolerated in the fu- ture, under the terms of the order, only if they change into Nazi pro- pagandists. Catholic circles asserted they learned Thursday of Nazi party Plans to announce abrogation of Germany's concordat with the Holy Catholics said they were amazed on being informed that the Nazis would break off the covenant, con- cluded between the Hitler regime and the Vatican July 8, 1933, during their annual convention in Septem- ber at Nurnberg. No confirmation of the Catholic report could be obtained from Nazi sources, since such matters are held confidential. Frick for Rosenberg Dr. Wilhelm Frick, Nazi minister of interior, has come out openly on the side of Dr. Alfred Rosenberg, leader of the German faith move- ment, and Catholic circles were con- vinced that the concordat would be abrogated. These sources said Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler was determined to es- tablish a special ministry for reli- gion of all faiths, with Hans Kerrl, President of the Prussian diet, in charge as minister without portfolio. Kerrl was expected to show a con- ciliatory attitude toward the Protest- ant opposition, the first sim of his ministry being—so the Catholics feared—to make the Catholic church subservient to Naziism. Later, the Catholics asserted, Kerr! also would resume a campaign against the Protestant opposition. Protestant circles said that they, too, have heard that Kerr] would be- come minister for religion.

Coxey, the leader 41 years ago of “Coxey’s army,” propos- ed here Wednesday night that the government become “a competitor in the labor market” to give jobs to “12,000,000 men and boys.” Coxey’s plan, advocated on the court house steps before about 150 listeners, would have to do with the printing of $50,000,000,000 in legal| day period, money to finance a public works pro- gram assuring a minimum yearly wage of $1560. He figured it to cost the govern- ment “$278 per $1,000,000 in circu- lation” on @ non-tax basis providing for “a minimum, decent living wage.” BOLIVIA PRESIDENT DIES La Paz, Bolivia, July 18.—(#)—Dr. Daniel Salamanca, 66, president of Bolivia during most of the Chaco war with Paraguay, died from a heart ailment Wednesday night at his plan- tation in Cochabamba. U8. COURT UPHOLDS CONGRESS RIGHT TO SELL TVA'S POWER Circuit Court Reverses Finding in Holding Act Consti- tutional ALABAMA CITIZENS HAPPY Norris Jubilant But Foe of Pro- ject Looks for Supreme Bench Ruling New Orleans, July 18.—(?)—Presi- dent Roosevelt's vast social experi- ment—the sale of cheap electric power by the Tennessee Valley auth- ority—was held constitutional by the circuit court of apepals here but is still to be tested in the United States supreme court. Joseph F. Johnston, one of the at- torneys representing preferred stock- holders of the Alabama Power com- pany, who contested the validity of the TVA, said at Birmingham, Als., an appeal would be taken promptly and probably heard by the supreme court in the fall. The opinion rendered Wednesday, affecting electric utility holders, con- sumers and prospective consumers, reversed a finding by Judge W. I. Grubb of the northern district court of Alabama, who ruled congress did not have the right to authorize sale of the power. ‘The attack on the act was launch- led by preferred stockholders of the Alabama Power company who sought to prevent the company from selling to the TVA for $1,150,000, its trans- mission lines running from Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals into seven Alabama counties. ‘The circuit court here, conceding the project was launched primarily as a power supply for manufacture of munitions in war time, asserted it was within the “provizice of congress to adopt any reasonable mi ” to dispose of surplus power not needed in peace time, The ruling was hailed in various quarters with conflicting reactions. Jubilant citizens of Sheffield, Tus- cumbia, Florence and Muscle Shoals, Ala., where the vast dams for power production are located, shouted their approval in spontaneous demonstra- tions. In Washington Senator Norris (Rep., Neb.), father of the TVA act, said “it’s just what I expected. think it’s the only conclusion that any legal logical, mid can reach under the TVA act and the consti- tution.” Re] tative May (Dem., Ky.), bitter foe of the project, said he had “no doubt” the supreme court would reverse the opinion.

WALEY MUST SERVE AT LEAST 30 YEARS Weyerhaeuser Kidnaper Taken to Alcatraz as Wife Looks to Future ‘Tacoma, Wash., July 18—(?)—Mrs. Margaret Thulin Waley, convicted Weyerhaeuser kidnaper, expressed satisfaction with her 20-year sentence Thursday, unaware that she must wait much longer than she expected to rejoin her husband. Harmon M. Waley, husband of the 19-year-old blonde, was transferred to Alcatraz Island prison Wednesday and at the same time a Washington state detainer was filed against him. This action doubles the time the kid- naper must serve before a possible reunion with his wife. Waley, who confessed to the abduc- tion of the 9-year timber fortune heir, George Weyerhaeuser, may still be released after 30 years for good con- duct but he may never be paroled. If the detainer had not been filed he would have been eligible for parole after serving 15 years of his 45-year sentence. Mrs. Waley, who contendedly ac- [te her sentence because “it will six|make it easier waiting for Harmon,” expected to pe taken to the federal women’s detention farm at Milan, Mich., within a week. The Waleys’ co-defendant, William Dainard, alias Mahan, still is a fugi- tive. He was last seen in Butte, Mont., June 9, the day the Waleys were arrested in Salt Lake City. 70-Year-Old Lemmon Resident Dies Here Alanson Seelye, 70-year old resi- dent of Lemmon, 8.

Moodie, WPA administrator, said Thursday. Moodie, who is making haste slow- ly in setting up his organization, made it clear that there will be no rush about getting WPA into action, with the harvest coming on and the prospect of need for men in private employment but expects to have his set-up ready when he “presses the button.” All sorts of projects are being pre- sented to the district offices of the WPA, he said, but none has yet been approved and all will be scrutinized carefully before any is accepted. Among ideas now under considera- tion is one whereby the WPA may assist in conserving some of the feed of which the state has a boun- tiful supply this year. If a township wants to cut and store feed on land not privately occupied, for use in any future emergency, the WPA would consider an application to furnish the man-power, Moodie said. White collar and adult educational projects also are under consideration by the WPA, to be launched when it begins to move. ‘Wages and hours to be paid by the WPA are not debatable, Moodie said, since they are fixed by regulations. He made it plain also that there will be “no police protection” on any WPA job “and no chiseling.” ‘The first point to be considered when a project application is pre- sented, he said, will be the number of persons needing work in the com- munity and the constructive projects designed to employ the most men will be held in highest favor. ‘Outraged’ Paris Fines Nude American Dancer Paris, July 18—()—Joan Warner, the blonde American dancer, was found guilty Thursday of “outraging the morals” of Paris and was fined 50 francs—$3.30, Miss Warner did Hea “outraging” by dancing in the nude.

It was expected that word from there would be received here sometime Thursday and that an attempt would be made to unite the two states in recommendations to the ep grament as to a future course of Litt Allowance Rep. Hildebrandt (Dem., 8. D.), said Thursday in Ws that Gov- ernor W. I. Myers of the farm credit administration had agreed to lift the harvest allowance for wheat from 12 to 15 cents a bushel and that farmers would need to market only enough of their grain to meet harvesting ex- penses. Governor Welford said the North Dakota group had been advised of this decision Wednesday night but that it would not meet the situation here, He explained that South Da- kota is not much of a spring wheat state and that to harvest the North Dakota crop will cost from 20 to 25 cents a bushel, probably the latter.
