An official communique in Geneva showed 24 nations had notified the league they would participate .in the “buy nothing from Italy” boycott. Officials of the league said the task of putting into effect the penal- ties against Il Duce’s government would be given to various commit- tees of the league who would be held responsible. The general sanctions staff of 52 nations will definitely lay down the machinery to watch the application and progress of the penalties. Diplomats Skeptical The diplomats in Geneva were skeptical over the chances of an Italo- Ethiopian peace conference at the forthcoming sessions of the league, which open Thursday.

Fay Brown, chairman of the junior association’s athletic committee in charge of general arrangements, an- nounced that Miss Laura Ellsworth had a slight lead over the four other candidates in the race for the honor of being crowned Homecoming queen. The standings of the candidates were: Laura Ellsworth 122. Bernice Peterson 118. Edna Nelson 109. Mary See 105. Lydia Langer 104. A vote for the queen candidates is cast by each purchaser of a football ticket. Attached to each ticket isa stub ballot which is to be detached and cast in the ballot box located in Finney’s Drug store.

Minot, Bismarck’s opponent Satur- day, is undefeated in the race for the mythical ‘championship of the state, and the prospect of Bismarck’s scor- ing the major upset of the season has the eyes of North Dakota fans on the Capital City, Kuehn said.

Italy Prepares Italy was preparing to meet the sanctions campaign with rigid eco- nomic domestic control; but so far, there was no outward concern. An official quarter said the govern- ment was confident many nations would scramble to supply Italy's needs after the existing commercial contracts have been disrupted by the sanctions program. As Fascism opened its fourteenth year of rule in Italy, there was confi- dence the armies of Il Duce would build a new empire in East Africa. Officials found encouragement in the words of Cardinal Schuster, of Milan, who said the Fascist legions “are opening the doors of Ethiopia to the Catholic faith and Roman civilization.” Niles Promoted by Harvester Company Announcement that Harvey Niles, assistant manager of the International Harvester company’s branch here for the last eight years, has been appoint- ed manager of the branch at Aber- den, 8.

Doctors Remove Eye Of White Earth Boy 1935 DOLE EXPENSE GREATER THIS YEAR IN U. §. THAN LAST But Hopkins’ Tapering-Off Plan Is Expected to Cut Direct Relief Costs ‘Washington, Ogt. 39 —(P)=:An “oft ficial summation showed Tuesdey that the government, despite its pro- gram to end the dole, has spent more for direct relief so far this year than it did during the same period of 1934. This year’s relief grants were placed at $1,227,973,573, compared to $1,013,- 069,738 in the corresponding 10 months of last year. The amount granted for relief since Oct. 1 has been only a fraction of what it was in October a year ago, however, and officials are predicting increased employment from the works program will bring an end to all federal out- lays for direct relief during November. Early this year, as the works pro- gram moved at a snail’s pace through congress and then encountered initial administrative delays the number of persons on relief stood far above the levels which had been reached at the same period in 1934, The tapering-off process which Har- ry L. Hopkins has said he hopes will bring liquidation of the federal emer- gency relief administration sometime next month—later than originally scheduled—was reflected in the relief grants for September and October this year. They were $96,039,145 and $31,- 382,514 respectively, compared with $106,841,985 and $160,090,072 in the cor- responding months last year. Latest figures issued by Hopkins said that 1,421,470 persons were employed under the new works program on Oct. 19. The number of relief cases re- ceiving work program ei in October last year was 1,998,161.

Lee Wy- man in federal court here Tuesday morning, attorneys for William Langer and three co-defendants charged with conspiracy against the federal government, failed in an ef- fort to upset the system by which the jury panel was drawn or to force the government to give it a list of wit- nesses for the prosecution. " Motions directed to the two ends were overruled. The defendants did, however, ob- tain a continuance of 48 hours to per- mit them to investigate the members of the jury panel drawn for the trial. Judge Wyman first granted 24 hours but later, at the request of Francis Murphy, chief defense counsel, ex- tended it to two days. On this basis the actual trial of Langer and his alleged co-conspira- tors will not get under way until 10 a, m., Thursday, at which time the process of selecting a jury is expected to begin. Judge Wyman excused the berarai of the jury panel until that e. On trial with Langer are Oscar E. Erickson, state senator and chairman tary of the state emergency relief or- ganization, and Frank A. Vogel, form- er state highway commissioner, ‘ Solicitation legal They are charged with conspiring to obstruct the orderly operation of an act of congress by soliciting funds from persons receiving at least a part of their salaries from the federal gov- ernment, As the court session opened at 10 a. m., Deputy Clerk Frank Talcott presented both government and de- fense attorneys with lists of the Prospective jurors. Murphy pointed out that the list contained “some 90 odd” names, that he had never before seen it, that it will obviously be difficult to obtain a jury and that “the defendants feel un- less they are given time—reasonable time—to investigate the jurors we cannot intelligently question or ex- amine the jurors. We ask that we be permitted to acquaint ourselves in ® general way with the jury Jist and ask sufficient time for investigation.” Judge Wyman at first granted 24 hours but, when Murphy protested, extended it to 48 hours, saying he did not want to be unreasonable. men on the jury panel are bitter po- Utical enemies of the defendants,” “Seventy-five to 80 per cent of the jurors on these lists are business men piehdely. vl
