Nye (Rep.-N.D.) plans to work during the next session of con- gress for a program to strengthen and broadep the recently enacted neutrality act. iNyey-ehairman of the senate muni- ‘tions ‘investigating committee, dis-. closed his program in an interview ‘Wednesday before leaving for Min- neapolis for an address. Nye said the keeping of the United States out of dangerous relations with foreign belligerents is a cause certain to break down all usual alignments in both houses, claim strong support and force action early in the session. Three Major Points The program he outlined as his ob- Jective had three major points: 1, The making permanent of the mandatory provision of the neutrality ‘law, which becomes “permissive” after March 1, 1936. 2. Inclusion of a provision prohib- iting guarantees of delivery of Amer- ican firms selling contraband goods (those other than guns, ammunition, planes and other items banned as strictly “munitions” under the neu- ference by American war. “take the now pending pushed along objectives, but advocate tax rates high remove profits -boomed industries, but to the costs of war should the conflict.

The council decided to draft a re- © OSCAR J. CHAPUT port and recommendations for peace in East Africa. After the Italian delegation left the League secretariat building, the coun- cil adopted a recommendation to pro- hoi under Article XV of the cove- nant. Recommendations thus drawn, if adopted unanimously, would mark as’ an act of war against all League members any violation, leading to sanctions. Allows Three Months The League covenant -provides that no aggression shall be started until three months after consideration has been started on the point at issue. Hence, under the covenant, ‘the: first date war could be started if the ar- ticles are observed, would ‘be Dec. 4. Official Italian sources said Thurs- Gay it was “premature” ,to express Italy’s reaction to thé reported pro- posal by the council of the League of Nations that Italy and Ethiopia keep the peace until Dec. 4. They said Italy now was awaiting a report from the council. Until this arrives, they said, Italy was not ex- pressing an opinion. Sanctions Unavoidable French officials said sanetions against Italy could not be avoided if Premier Mussolini's forces ever at- tacked Ethiopia. Rumors of dissension within Pre- mier Mussolini's cabinet over the Ethiopian campaign were published by the French leftist press. These newspapers speculated as to the possibility of a revolt in Italy and hinted England would like to see a | HABOLD McDONALD Appearing unexpectedly in fed- eral district court in Fargo late ‘Wednesday, Chaput and Mc- Donald pleaded guilty before Judge Andrew Miller to conspir- acy to solicit political contribu- tions from federal employes.

Officially the committee was not concerned with candidacies. Unof- ficially, they were uppermost in every- one’s mind. The big question marks in the speculation were Herbert Hoover and William E.

D., Sept. 26.—(AP)—With the possibil- ity that retrial of former Gov. William Langer will be its principal item of business, Judge Andrew Miller Thursday called a term of federal district court in Bis- marck to begin Oct. 22. Meanwhile, the federal grand jury now in session here continued work with an indication from District Attorney P. W. Lanier that it might wind up its duties by next Tuesday or Wednesday. Fargo, N. D., Sept. 26.—(AP)—Penalty for admitted con- spiracy in obtaining _political contributions from federal em. ployes, the charge on which former Gov. William Langer awaits a new trial, Thursday confronted two of his former subordinates. Pleading “technical” rather than “substantial” guilt, Har- old McDonald and Oscar J. Chaput Wednesday received orders from Federal Judge Andrew Miller to appear at the Bismarck term of district court, beginning probably about Oct. 20. Chaput, former business manager ‘of the North Dakota Leader, Langer’s newspaper, and McDonald, a subscription so- licitor, pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy to obstruct the orderly operation of an act of congress. The government, whose conviction of Langer and associates was overruled by circuit court with the case remanded for a new trial because of lack of evidence, accused the defendants of getting money from federal relief workers. When ordering a new trial, the circuit court took no excep- tion to the original indictment. 3 ; “If any crime was. committed by them in this matter,” said John F. Sullivan of Mandan, counsel for Chaput and Mc- Donald, “it is a technical violation of the law by virtue of their following the instructions of their employers. _ “They never received a dollar of compensation in connec- tion with these transactions excepting only a meager salary as solicitors, x “It was suggested they join in an affidavit of prejudice against Judge Miller ta the result that another judge be brought into this district to try this case. “They do not feel that his honor, Judge Miller, has any prejudice against them or either of them and did not feel that they should, under their attitude in the matter, seek to dis- qualify Judge Miller.” Habeas Corpus Writ Is Denied to Palmer Los Angeles, Sept. 26.—(7)—A peti- tion for a writ of habeas corpus for Ellis Palmer, 25, wanted in connec- tion with ‘slayings in Hewitt, Minn., and Harvey, N.
