No Definite Indication as to When President Will Name Administrators Washington, Aug. 15.—(#)—Presi- dent Roosevelt, embarking the gov- ernment on the New Deal’s vast social security program, foresees further so- cial and economic adjustments to come. ‘When he signed the security bill into law Wednesday, amid formal ceremony, he said it was a “corner- stone in a structure which is being built but is by no means complete.” The bill, which the president said would apply to 30,000,000 persons, pro- vides for contributory old age pen- sions, federal-state pensions for the aged needy, a federal-state unemploy- ment insurance system, special care for dependent children and mothers. It contains a huge tax program to raise the funds. Legislators and high officials sur- rounded the president in the cabinet room as he affixed his signature. The president used “about 30 pens” to sign the bill, so that numerous requests for souvenirs could be satisfied. ‘There was no definite indication as to when the president will appoint the board of three members which will administer certain phases of the Program. ‘The measure, he said, “gives at least some protection to 30,000,000 of our citizens who will reap direct benefits.” More Than 20,000 Persons Ex- pected to Hear Streicher Review Hate Drive Berlin, Aug. 15. — () — Jews re- mained inside their homes Thursday as Julius Streicher, most relentless and energetic of their suppressors, ar- rived to review the progress of the Nazis’ month-old anti-Semitic drive. As Streicher entered the capital like ® crusader, exciting real concern among Jews over what further hate he might engender, official goads against them and Catholics continued in various parts of the reich. Streicher, publisher of Der Stuer- mer, was announced as the speaker for a crowd of 20,000 persons Thurs- day night in the Sportspalast, the city’s largest assembly hall. Fearing the fiery Streicher will communicate some of his anti-Jewish fervor to his hearers, Jewish organ- izations counseled members of their race to keep off the streets, The city flamed with red Nazi pos- ters inscribed with the sentiments that form so important a part of his utterances. Ranchers Evacuating Montana Fire Areas SHELTER FROM FOE == xk k * Snowden Lists World War Elements In African Row Mussolini Has Practically Declared War, For- mer Chancellor Says; Thinks Con- ference Will Do Nothing (Viscount Snowden of Ickornshaw, former British chancellor of the exchequer and labor leader, wrote the following article for the Associated Press on the eve of the tripartite conference in Paris for discussion of the Italo-Ethiopian conflict.) By VISCOUNT SNOWDEN (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press) ‘Tilford, Surrey, England, Aug. 15.—The Italo-Ethiopian dispute has in it all the elements of a world war. International affairs are now so interrelated an apparently trivial incident may have immense unexpected consequences. The murder of an Austrian archduke was the match which set into a huge conflagration combustible material which for years had been ac- cumulating. The elements constituting the present menace to world peace as a result of the dispute between Italy and Ethi- opia may be summarized as follows: 1, The covenant of the League of Nations and the Paris pact make an isolated dispute the business of all the signatories to these documents. 2. Unprovoked attack by one of the nations upon another member of the league compels the league to come to the assistance of the jeopardized na- tion. Under the Paris pact such an at- tack becomes a violation of interna- tional law and morality. 3. If Italy persists in her declared intention to attack and conquer Ethi- opia, then her action is clearly in viola- tion of both the covenant of the league |» and the conditions of the Paris pact. In the event of war the league must, if it discharges its obligations, take mili- olf or economic sanctions against ly. There is no doubt about the in- tentions of Italy. Mussolini has made these intentions abundantly clear. He has for all practical purposes al- ready declared war. ee eee In the face of such dangers the council of the League of Nations has shown an impotence which is appal- ling. Its members, particularly Great Britain and France, have been afraid to take a firm line with Italy. Their dilatory methods have been an en- couragement to Mussolini, who has treated them with contempt. ‘These dilatory methods have served Mussolini's purpose as it has given him’ tine to make his preparations for-war. If the league council: hed denounced these war preparations as an act of war and enforced the terms of the covenant, then the situation might have been saved. Three are now meeting in Paris to talk. It is certain they will do nothing but talk. They will frame a meaningless formula and leave it at that. Mussolini will go on with his war preparations and when autymn comes will make his attack and laugh at the weak spirited council of the Steals Ring From Aunt’s Dead Boa | Hagerstown, Md., Aug. 15.—(?) —John Delosier, 34, was arrested for larceny, He was charged with stealing a diamond engagement ring off the finger of his aunt's body in an undertaking parlor.

SHORT HAUL COAL RATE CUTS ASKED Railroads Seek Reduction in N. D. to Meet Competition From Trucks Three North Dakota railroads ‘Thursday petitioned the state board of railroad commissioners for permis- sion to reduce rates on shipments of two types of lignite coal from western North Dakota mines to destinations up to 150 miles distant. Reduction of the rates was asked to “meet truck competition” the pe- tition of the three lines informed the mmission. co! i The proposed revision would be of an experimental nature and would remain in effect only until May 1 of next year if it failed to recover traf- fice for the railroads from competing truck lines, the petition pointed out. The rates are proposed to become effective Sept. 1, from Kamins, New Salem, Wilton, Beulah, Re} Junction, Zap, Lucky Strike, Voltaire, ‘Wilton, Garrison, Stampede, Kincaid, Noonan and Bowbells. Three Petitioners The three petitioning railroads are the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Soo Line. r No action will be taken by the board “until interested parties have had an opportunity to consider the changes proposed or make protest against its being granted” the commission said. J. C. Winter, traffic expert of the commission, said the proposed reduc- tions would be from 5 cents to 25 cents per ton and, in addition, recently au- thorized supercharges would not be made. “This would mean from $2.50 to $12 on the average car,” Winter said. “As & typical example, the present rate, with surcharge, from Wilton to Bis- marck, is 75 cents per net ton, which should be reduced to 50 cents or @ sav- ing of $8.40 on @ 30-ton car.” Garrison Farmer to Be Interred Friday Garrison, N.
