T A2 ITALO-ETHIOPIAN TALKS BROKEN OFF Special Measures Taken in Addis Ababa to Protect Foreigners. By the Associated Press. ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, March 30. —Direct negotiations with Italy over the colonial boundary disputes were suddenly broken off today and a note sent to the League of Nations. Special measures were taken to pro- tect foreigners in case of an outbreak of hostilities. Officials’ Leave Canceled. ADEN, Arabia, March 30 (#).—All leave was canceled today for British Somaliland officials because of the uncertainty of the Italo-Ethiopian situation. Information reaching here from a reliable source stated that thousands of cases of arms and ammunition des- tined for Ethiopia had been held up at Djibouti, French Somaliland, awaiting permits to proceed.

These dispatches, written by newsmen accom- panying President Roosevelt, an- nounced that Harry Hopkins was to be the jumbo-colossus of the new relief program. Now, Mr. Ickes knew, which the av- erage news reader may not, that Presidential newsmen do not make such things up out of their heads. Only two persons could have inspired that story, Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Hop- kins. You can imagine how that made Mr. Ickes feei. Here he has been the jumbo-colossus of the P. W. A. for many months, and has aspira- tions. To add insult to injury, the dispatches mentioned that “Per- haps, Mr. Ickes, among others” would be permitted to help Mr. Hopkins. Mr. Ickes put on his hat and coat and went to the White House. There, standing guard during the President’s absence, was Stephen Early, who is a diplomat as well as a secre- tary. Mr. Early is supposed to have worked on Mr. Ickes' brow, unruffling it. At least he gave out an official announcement that Mr. Roosevelt himself would run the new relief pro- gram. There would be no jumbo- colossus. BY PAUL MALLON. ECRETARY ICKES got quite a shock when he saw the press dispatches from Florida a few PIPE DOWN MA K THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Newspaper publishers and automo- bile manufacturers have added their voices to industry’s assertion that the ‘Wagner labor disputes bill would hin- der recovery. “The measure can be construed as nothing more or less than an incite- ment to agitate and keep industry and business in a turmoil until the unions have obtained their objective,” said Harvey J. Kelly of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association, at & Senate Labor Committee hearing yes- terday on the bill. Robert G. Graham, director of the Automobile Manufacturers’ Associa- tion, said: “The bill would tend to destroy the basis of industrial relations upon which the automobile industry has been enabled for many years to ex- pand employment, to pay high wages, to provide a wider market for its prod- ucts, and to make an outstanding contribution to the industrial and so- cial development of the country.” Company Union Hit. The bill would outlaw the com- pany-dominated union, create a per- manent National Labor Relations Board and give the labor organization chosen by the majority of the em- ployes in a plant the right to speak for all the employes. Kelly told the committee the bill would destroy rather than promote equality of bargaining power between employers and employes in the news- paper business. “Wage rates are high in this busi- ness,” he said. ““Average hourly earn- ings of workers employed by news- papers stand at the top of the list, as may be observed in the National In- dustrial Conference Board service | Ministers’ Union Plans Drive for Labor Affiliation Would Go on Record as Believing in Right to| Organize, Says Founder. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 30.—Rev. Dr. Edmund B. Chaffee, founder of the Ministers’ Union of America, said last night it is seeking a charter in the American Federation of Labor and plans a vigorous Nation-wide drive to unionize the country’s clergy. . The union has a membership of about 75 Protestant ministers and a few rabbis, Dr. Chaffee said. Dr. Chaffee is editor of the Presby- terian Tribune. “There is always the fear that in- tellectuals may seek to dominate la- bor,” said Dr. Chaffee. “But we have absolutely no such intention. , “The ministers merely want to go AWAITS PARLEY Dispute Over Its Creation Prompts Group to De- lay Action.

By the Associated Press. Despite a warning by Bernard M. Baruch, members of the Senate Munitions Committee stuck today by their own plan to control industrial profits drastically in time of war. The financier, who was chairman of the World War Industries Board. differed from the committee on its plan to subject industrial leaders to military discipline in wartime and | to shear off all but the most limited profits and individual earnings to “pay as you fight.” While expressing agreement with the aim to set up in peacetime an adequate machinery for operating in the time of conflict, the financier solmenly warned the Senators not to go “too far.” Nye Wants Drastic Control. But while his testimony apprised the committee members of the tre- mendous task of martialing a na- tion's forces for war, it served, in the opinion of Chairman Nye, only to emphasize the need of more drastic control than Baruch advocated. “His testimony of the trouble he had getting the steel makers and the copper mining industry into agree- ment on prices and deliveries of need- ed materials,” Nye commented to newspaper men, “makes me only the more certain that we must have a constitutional amendment to insure the Government has a club over these fellows.” ‘The proposal of Baruch for a “ceil- | ing” on prices, coupled with a prior- ity system to govern deliveries of sup- plies to industries, and a taxing plan | to gather in profits for the Govern- ment, left Nye unsatisfied. “Do you think his plan will work,” the Senator was asked and he re- morrow cloudy, followed by rain to- morrow night and in the interior to- morrow afternoon; colder tomorrow “ S - night; much colder Monday.

Next day you may be on the floor, wonder- ing how you got there. Consequently the Florida dispatches conveyed a hint that the Hopxins plan had the edge over the Ickes plan. Furthermore, certain Congressmen started grumbling that if this plan was all fixed they should find out what it was before they passed the relief bill authorizing Mr. Roosevelt to carry it out. The result was that a second pla- cating announcement was made from the White House. It said no plan would be decided on until Mr. Roose- velt returns.

This does not imply any lack of confidence in Mr. Ickes on the part of the White House or any one else. It is a simple truth that he nas been handling more than any one man could. Furthermore, certain Senators say they have received a promise from the White House that Mr. Ickes would not control the new set-up. Congress always gets its man. A confidential survey has been made of the relief rolls by the F. E. R. A. crowd. It shows very simply what the problem is. It answers the two big questions of where the relief rollers are and who they are. More than half of them are in 142 cities of the country. For instance, California has 206,781 on relief, and 201,515 are in the five cities of Los Angeles, Oakland. Sacra- mento, San Diego and San Francisco. New York State has 472,780 on the rolls, and 402,958 of them in the six cities of Albany, Buffalo, New York, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica. 219,152 in Ohio has 276,987, and eight big citles. The major portion of the relief problem, therefore, is in the cities. 44 Per Cent Factory Help, The survey further shows that nearly one-half (exactly 44 per cent) are factory workers. They were for- merly employed in the manufacturing and mechanical industries. The next largest group was in domestic and personal service trades; then follow the groups of transportation and com- munication workers, salesmen and clerical workers. Professional people are far down in the list, with teachers heading that group. The building trades (the only one heilped by P. W. A.) account for fewer than one-fourth of those on relief. The program must be adapted to the unemployed, not the unemployed $o the program. Types of work must be furnished which they can do, and the work must be furnished where they are. Therefore, more than half of it must be in the cities or adjacent to them, and it must be the type of work which can be performed by factory ‘workers, etc. This shows how foolish are the politico-statesmen who are continu- yright. 1935.) ided for Bchools. ,000 gallons of milk to pupils in Unless Mr. Ickes succeeds in forcing | Next Week. | By the Associated Press. “chart for the future” of electric pow- er in the United States is expected to be made public early next week.

President Roosevelt in his order for the survey August 19, 1933, asked the engineers to “formulate a program of public works.” Chairman F. R. Mc- Ninch of the Pcwer Commission this week called attention to $100.000.000 of the work relief bill allotted to rural electrification and said State and can expand this sum several times. Commissioner Manly said the sur- vey is the first national picture ever made of the physical set-up of the power industry. It includes all ex- isting utility plants, their average pro- duction and maximum generation ca- pacity and a survey of undeveloped ‘water power sites. 40 Districts Surveyed. Electrical engineers divided the the country into natural power pro- duction districts after the survey. They explained when genefated power is put on transmission lines, energy losses increase with distances. Thus an excess of power in New England is of no benefit to the Middle West because distribution costs soon sur- ss generating expense. D.le'll'y said these districts are based upon “industrial areas and existing transmission lines.” The boundaries do not coincide with State lines, al- though there are more than 40 dis- tricts. Municipal and private utilities, Manly said, co-operated in the sur- vey, on which 75 engineers and 50 data experts have been busy for months, . CODE HELD NO AID NOR DETRIMENT IN FURNITURE INDUSTRY (Continued From First Page.) yesterday by Thomas C. Bh!.ulell: former director of the Consumers Advisory Board of N. R. A, about what he called price fixing and iden- tical bidding by industries under codes. While Blaisdell contended N. R. A. was not to blame for all that had happened, he said identical bids were submitted to many cities on fire hose and that A. D. Kuntz, secretary of the Rubber Manufacturers’ Assocla- tion and secretary of their code au- thority, attempted to prevent the ac- ceptance of a lower bid by the City of Milwaukee. Members of the committee de- manded that the case be turned over to the Justice Department for prose- cution under the anti-trust laws. Blaisdell agreed with many com- plaints of the committee members and conceded that next to regulating hours and wages, the most lmpomn.t‘ thing was to prevent “price gouging. The new N. R. A. bill would change the wording of the anti-trust section, but would not satisfy critics who want the anti-trust suspension com- pletely removed.

Duke to Be Tried In Pawning Gems Of Late Mother By the Associated Press LONDON, March 30.—The Duke of Manchester was committed for trial | today at London’s Old Bailey on charges of obtaining £650 ($3,250) un- der false pretenses with intent to de- fraud. Specifically the charges were that the 58-year-old duke pawned two | pleces of jewelry belonging to his late American-born = mother. _ Consuelo. | Duchess of Manchester. He was re- | Jeased under £250 bail pending trial, after pleading not guilty through | counsel. | The duke’s counsel contended the | prosecution had not produced any evi- | dence of intent to defraud, although | he said “T am going to admit for the | purposes of argument that the duke made an absolutely false statement |and that he did not have any title whatsoever to the property pledged. He made two false statements, one on occasion.” The objects pawned, according to, the prosecution, were a diamond and an emerald necklet and part of a tiara belonging to the late duchess, who was born Consuelo Yznaga de Valle, in Ravenswood, La. It was contended the jewelry on which he received loans rightfully be- longed to the general trustees under the will of the late duchess, although the duke made the following state- ment in regard to the necklet: “It is my own property and I have & perfect right to deal with the same.” The Euening Htar Offers Its Readers This Worth-While BOOK Price $1 at The Evening Star Business Office, or by mail, postpaid It explains the permanent departments of the Federal Government and the Alphabet Bureaus of the New Deal.
