Capt. Whitehurst told the delegates that the association must carry on a road building campaign in every State in order that the aims of the organi- zation might be achieved. These aims include the elimination of sharp curves and dangerous grades; super- elevation of curves with widening where necessary: widening of highways which have become inadequate to carry safety and quickly the volume of traffi construction of arterial highw ough metropolitan areas by highways around metropolitan areas: elimination of grade cro: gs. replacement of narrow (bottleneck) bridges with a travelway at least as wide as the roadwa nd the moderni- zation and improvement of municipal thoroughfares. The speaker hailed Cartwright act as a advocates of gasol! taxes for road purposes. He said this bill had had a beneficial effect many of the States by putting a check rein on State officials who seek Government funds. but that much was yet to be desired. the Hayden- gnal victory for All States Represented.

The League of Nations wants to hush up the whole affair; the Abys- | sinians don’t want to because they | realize that any delay 1s detrimental to their national security. Emperor Is Alert. Emperor Silassie is a keen student of world politics who is able to read between the lines of any political agreement. He is seriously worried | about the Laval-Mussolini under- | standing and wants to have the exist- ing conflict with Italy brought into the limelight at Geneva before it is too late. The Italo-French political agree- ment is_little understood by the | rank and file of the people because the usual “annezes” have not been published. But what has been given out is enough to worry the Abyssinian monarch. The French have agreed to cede to Ttaly |land which belongs to the French Somaliland. It is not a large section; only 400 square miles. But this ces- sion gives Italy the possibility of | tving up Abyssinia in & hundred knots. | The Iialians have now an outlet to | the Red Sea which will improve their | lines of communications in case of ! trouble with the Ethiopian people. | Of course the Italians say that they will not attempt to attack the Aby: | sinians—yet. And this is true. De- spite the apparent pacification of Europe, there still are many danger | points and Mussolini is not foolish | enough to get engaged in a colonial | campaign which might require hun- | dreds of thousands of men and a few | hundred million dollars. But Abys- | sinia is in the zone of colonial devel- opment of Italy and some day, it is frankly said in Rome, either Silassie comes to an agreement with Musso- lini and accepts the Italian overlord- ship or he will have to stand the attack of the Italian forces. Will Remain Free. The Aby have never been subjugated by any foreign nation. remain free. What Geneva is worried about now is that Silassie might adopt the old slogan that the best defensive is the cffensive and when he sees that the League refuses to take any action in the present controversy he may take the bull by the horns and attack Italy before Italy is ready to attack him. This theory of the Geneva diplo- mats is quite plausible. The Abys- sinians are excellent fighters; they have defeated the Italians once be- fore. in the early nineties. Furthermore, while the Abys- sinians are a backward nation, the ruler is a man well conversant with the antics of the Old World diplo- mats. He knows that under the present conditions of Europe Italy can ill afford to fight a major war and Silassie will mot miss this chance of buying cheap an insur- ance for the future. For this reason, it is believed, he will drive the Geneva gentlemen as hard as he can in order to obtain a satisfac- tory settlement while this is still possible. Italian diplomats see in this deter- mined move of the Ethiopians the hand of Germany and Japan. Both countries have been making a drive lately to obtain the friendship of the Ethiopian ruler and have obtained a strong economic foothold in his country. i Coy on Airdromes.

Federal Projects Discussed, The relation of landscape architec- | ture to city planning and the develop- ment of Federal projects was discus- sed yesterday at the convention.

'SYLVAN KING PLEADS Speaks Over WRC Under Auspices of Federation of Govern- ment Workers. Declaring that prices are acvanc ing steadily, Sylvan King of King's Palace, in a talk over WRC yesterday, urged immediate restoration of Gov- ernment pay. King spoke under the auspices of the American Federation of Govern- ment Employes. “Living costs are rising now and they will continue to rise because eco- nomic conditions necessitate it, and neither the Government employes nor the business men can prevent it.” he said. “All that can be done is to meet the situation by providing pay scales adequate to meet living costs.” Recalling that President Roosevelt has proposed the 5 per cent cut be lifted July 1, Mr. King said that “if pay restoration is delayed until that time, and prices rise steadily during these six months, every price rise means a wage cut to the Government employes.” He asserted that as long as the Gov- ernment continues on a cut-pay pol- icy piivate industry may be expected to do likewise. — fields has written to Germany asking for the necessary information. Every country complied with its re- quest except the Reich. Most airdromes referred the British to the meager handbook published in Berlin under the name of “Flying Handbook of Germany.” The Friedrichshafen airdrome, which is listed officially as a civil flying field, replied that informations are not ob- tainable because it was not open to civil aviation. The mayor of the municipal air- drome of Quendlinburg—Piussia— replied: “I have respectfully to inform you that the information you require cannot be given at present.

With a view to rebuilding the Jew- ish National Home in Palestine to absorb a continually greater number of homeless Jews, a National Council of nine was appointed last night by the National Conference for Pales tine at the Mayflower Hotel The council will be responsible to a committee of 25 representatives of leading Jewish organizations in America. Members of the council are: Morris Rothenberg of New York, | president of the Zionist Organization of America: Louis Lipsky of New York. conference chairman: Israel B Brodie of New York, Dr. I. M.

Out of the council is expected to be organized a proposed American Com- mission for the Economic Develop- n t of Palestine. Plans for the com- mission will be drawn by the commit- tee of nine. Other resolutions included one which pon Great Britain, as the lding mandatory power over to permit a larger Jewish immigration into their country to ac- commodate “tens of thousands of Jews who are suffering from persecu- tion Alfred M. Cohen of Cincinnati. who presided at the meeting of the Reso- iutions Committee when it drew up the proposal for a national council, also presided at the closing session. More than .000.000 already has been spent in rehabilitating Palestine | by the Palestine Fcundation, Leo Her- man of Jerusalem reported. Of that | amount more than half, or $13,000.000, was contributed by American Jews, The total did not include funds pended by the Jewish national fund for land purchases. Another resolution passed at the al session called upon American to support and contribute to United Jewish Appeal. an or- nization seeking to raise $5,000.000 or relief of Jews in Germany and the cost of settling others in Pales- tine. Begun by Zionists. ‘The conference at the Mayflower was initiated by the Zionist Organiza- tion and attended by representatives different organizations of Jews of every shade of opinion in other matters affecting Jewish life. The conference called on the Jew- ish Agency, recognized by the League of Nations as the supreme Jewish du- thority in the development of Pales- tine, to create an internationai plan- ning commission with which the American group could co-operate. Progress made in Palestine was re- ported by Israel B. Brodie, president of the American Fconomic Committee for Palestine. He said that in 1920 a total of 10,000 Jews emigrated to Palestine. In 1933. he said, Jewish immigration there was 30,327, with prospects that in 1934, the figures would be still greater. Among others who spoke - were Baruch Zukerman, Morris Rothenberg, Louis Lipsky and Benjamin Evarts.
