P The farm agency had, however, either through accident or fore- thought got into a position where it could argue that farmer sentiment compelled it reluctantly to undertake the administration of the law. Potato farmers who gathered here Thursday.presented,an almost united front in a turbulent hearing called to consider alternate plans for con- trolling potato production. They re- fused to talk about substitutes and insisted that the’ administration en- force the law enacted by congress. Confronted with charges of “nulli- fication” from rebellious farmers and their spokesmen Secretary Wallace unexpectedly appeared before them to say that his criticism of the law had nothing to do with whether it was enforced and to announce that there had been no final determina- tion of the availability of funds to enforce it. Spokesmen for the farmers, includ- ing a Republican congressman, Rep- resentative Brewster of Maine, had Pointed to several sources from which funds could be obtained. The demands of the farmers had changed the atmosphere around AAA headquarters where only Wednesday, Secretary Wallace had said in a press conference that he did not like the Jaw and would do all he could to “avoid” enforcing it. Under the law, each farmer would be given a quota based on former production. Any potatoes sold above that quota would be taxed three- fourths of a cent a pound. NoRtH DAKOTAN tion to any program of “scarcity or destruction” aimed at control of the nation’s potato crop was voiced Fri- day by O. W. Hagen, president of the picag Dakota Potato Growers associa- ion, Testifying at a farm administra- tion hearing, now in its secona day, on the potato control problem, Hagen asserted North Dakota growers are as much in need of aid as those of any state due to continual reduction of acreage and production forced on them in recent years, principally by “dis- astrous droughts.” If given a fair allotment under the present potato control law, however, Hagen predicted the North Dakota iaxroent would support the act 100 per cent, Questioned by A. E. Mercker, chiei of the potato section, as to whether Two Minot Men Held g ie atl E g SONS OF MUSSOLINI LEAD AIR SQUADRON | ETHIOPIAN INVASION Troops Move Within Sight of Aduwa Hoping to Avenge Defeat of Fathers MARTIAL LAW IS DECLARED Italian Officers Jubilant at Pre- cision of Their Armies’ Advance (Copyright, 1935, by Associated Press) Asmara, Eritrea, Oct. 4.—Italian cavalry and infantry swept farther into Ethiopia Friday behind an air squadron flight in which Vittori and Bruno Mussolini, the premier’s two sons, participated. The flight was undertaken by the “Lion’s Head” squadron under the express orders of the high, command. The planes penetrated to an objective beyond the frontier. Upon their return, several hours: later, it was announced they had ‘iiliantly completed their mission.” On the ground, the troopers and in- fantry moved within sight of Aduwa —where the Italians hope to wipe out the memory of their defeat of 40 years ago. The official version of Thursday’s bombing of Aduwa and Adigrat fol- lows: Bombed Fortifications After bombing the fortifications at Aduwa, Count Galleazzo Ciano, son- in-law of Il Duce, flew over Adigrat. There he -dropped his remaining bombs upon an armed group as the fortifications directed a heavy fire at his plane. The squadron returned to its base after completing the op- erations without a casualty. Moving forward: without noteworthy obstruction, the Fascist troops forded the shallow mountain torrents of the 'Mareb river. They pushed on stead- ily by new paths to the village of Daro Tacle, equi-distant between the river and Aduwa. The advance column of Eritrean cavalry encamped only 20 kilometers (about 12 miles) from Aduwa, com- manded all approaches. Gen. Emilio De Bono, commanding the Italian colonial forces, issued a proclamation to tribesmen of the Mareb river sector, telling them the Italian troops were advancing and warning them to go about their busi- nesses tranquilly to avoid a conflict. Colonies Under Army Law It was issued simultaneously with a proclamation at Mogadiscio, Italian Somaliland, declaring Eritrea and Somaliland to be under full martial law. The Mareb hitherto marked the borders of Italy's colony of Eritrea and the Tigre region vf Ethiopia. During the advance, an air squad- ron led by Count Galleazzo Ciano, Mussolini’s son-in-law, bombed the fortress of Aduwa Thursday in re- prisal for reported artillery fire from the Ethiopian side, which molested scouting of the territory. Count Ciano himself launched the first. serial bombs over Aduwa, of- ficials said, while leading a squadron of seven bombardment planes. No loss was suffered by the Italian squadron, the authorities said. The extent of casualties in Aduwa was unknown. The vantage point gained by the cavalry permitted them to swarm down upon Aduwa defenses virtually at will.

Ras Seyoum is an aide of Emperor Haile Selassie. A report to Addis Ababa from Harar told of heavy fighting un- der ib in Aguden province, with ‘2,000 Ethiopians already killed or wounds (By the Associated Press) Italy hurled 100,000 soldiers at Aduwa, in northernmost Ethiopia Friday, and claimed the fall of the city, locale of Ethiopia’s proudest victory in 1896, was imminent. Ras Seyoum, defending Aduwa, was giving stubborn re- sistance, but was reported to have advised Emperor Selassie at Addis Ababa he couldn’t hold out much longer. Another chieftain, Ras Ayenu, headed 12,000 men and moved to Aduwa’s defense. One report said that Ras Ayenu had even penetrated across the border into Eritrea, base of Mussolini’s northern army, and taken a few outposts, Italian planes were reported from Addis Ababa to have made a second bombardment of Aduwa where their bombs unconfirmed reports said 1,700, including women, children and nurses.

SIMONS SUAVE TO FRIENDS, OILY TO HIS ENEMIES one of the most important. It is that of interpreting the admin- istration to industry and industry to the administration, a task with many complications and not a few head- aches. A southern gentleman, Mr. Roper has the reputation of being suave. His enemies go so far as to assert that he ts oily. But whatever one’s point ~ of view, he is particularly interesting to the farm country. More to the point, he is encouraging. The interviewer has no difficulty in getting Roper to talk. His history doesn’t show it, but one gets the im- pression that he might, at one time in his life, have been a school teacher or a college professor. One question and he is off on an extended disserta- tion, But if one listens closely he hears most of the answers. As secretary of commerce, Roper has access to many avenues of in- formation, both domestic and for- eign. He is a member of every im- Portant board having to do with trade and industry.” And he is cheerful. Encouraging to the farmers is the fact that he considers the farm prob- Jem and restoration of farm purchas- ing power as an essential to indus- trial prosperity. It is easy to imagine him postulating this theory to the in- dustrialists wth whom he has come into contact..

These columns were ready for a drive at the province of Harrar with the object of cutting the Djibouti-Addis Ababa railway, the only communication Ethiopia has with the outside world for supplies. The British fleet appeared to be near complete mobilization in the Mediterranean. Heavy airplane support was in the same area. British ships of the sky and sea were hard by the Suez canal, ready for any emergency. Italian troops smashed into Ethiopian areas, apparently in three columns—two from Eritrea and one from Italian Somali- land. It was announced officially in Rome that advances were made “all along the front.” While the Fascists went ahead with precision, statesmen opposed to the conquest of Ethiopia moved much slower in Europe. Premier Laval of France, having agreed with Anthony Eden, the British diplomat, that an attempt should be made to invoke League of Nations sanctions, went before his cabinet to obtain his ministers’ approval of the program. | In Geneva, neutral observers said they were impressed by the fact that the speed of Italy’s military movements was enormously greater than the League deliberations. The Italian government admitted the aerial bombing Thursday of Aduwa and Adigrat, but declared the bombing was in retaliation for heavy fire from the ground by Ethiopian troops. ° Italy’s Legions A Sweeping Forward (Copyright, 1935, by Associated Press) Rome, Oct. 4.—The Italian forces have swept forward again “all along the front” in Ethiopia. An official communique announced that in Thursday's operations, Italian irplanes replied to Ethiopian artil- lery and rifle fire in the vicinity of Aduwa and Adigrat by bombing en- emy forts, The Italian advance met little op- position from Emperor Haile Selassie‘’s troops, the communique said. Inhabitants of native villages along the line of march were described as Planes Clear Way Official announcements indicated —much in the manner of an artillery barrage laid down before an infantry attack. After the bombing planes came cav- alry and infantry, to take over the points made untenable by the explos- ives from the air. The extent of the casualties could not be immediately determined.

The probability-is that adjustments always will be necessary.” Regardless of the attitude of some Americans, Roper said, many for- eigners with money have more con- fidence in America and its future than do some native sons, “People from all over the world come here and sit there where you are sitting,” he remarked, “and prac- tically all of them believe that pros- pects here are better than anywhere else on the globe. “The other day an English gentle- men who represents great financial interests sat there and told me that ing most of their money to this coun- try with a view to participating in its development.
