ITALIAN SEIZED AS SPY SPARIS, October 22 (#).—The Havas News Agency reported yesterday that #n Italian _identified as Glanbattista Toselll of Turin had been arrested at Lyons and admitted he was “charged with a mission by a foreign intelligence service." Toselli, who is 41 and said he was a wine seller, traversed the Alpine region, in which French Army maneuvers are being held, the agency said, arousing the suspiciors of the General Surety any discrimination on the part of taxi- cab companies. A request was made that the location of the proposed Fort Drive be changed. Members pointed out the present pro- posed location near the front of the Alice Deal Junior High School would endanger the lives of the school chil- dren. New members accepted at the meet- ing are Col. E. C. Yates. F. W. Beck. N. G. Joannou and Miss B. Backus. Pres- | ident H. V. Schreiber presided. A. H.
