ENCLAND STRRED BYDUCESATIRK Danger of War in Africa Creates Problem for Baldwin. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 8.—The increasing danger of an Italo-Ethiopian war, coupled with Premier Mussolini’s thinly veiled attack on England at Cagliari today, tonight created one of the most difficult problems facing Stanley Baldwin's new British gov- ernment. Depsite the grave tone of the Ital- fan press campaign against this coun- try, government quarters expressed the fear these outbursts merely served to screen Italy’s forging ahead with her African objectives. | Although these officials are slowly becoming convinced that an Italian military campaign in Africa is inevi- table, they deplore the present trend of affairs on the ground that the mat- ters at issue have been grossly exag- gerated. It now is regretted that the British press was so loud in praising Capt. Anthony Eden. then lord privy seal and now minister for League of Na- tions affairs, for his “triumph” at Geneva, when he was credited with inducing Mussolini to accept arbitra- tion proposals he had previously re- Jected. “WILL SETTLE ACCOUNT.” Italy Will Disregard Outside Inter- ference, 11 Duce Says. CAGLIARI, Italy, June 8 (P).— Benito Mussolini, hurling defiance at his European critics, today assured | Italy that her old and new accounts | with Ethiopia would be settled with- | out regard to “what is said beyond the frontier.” | While 20,000 soldiers and black- shirts gathered in this gayly-deco- | rated city cheered, he made sharp reference to Great Britain: “We will imitate to the letter those | who try to teach us a lesson. They‘ have demonstrated that when they | were creating an empire and defend- | ing it they never took into considera- tion world opinion.” Italian newspapers lashed at Brit- | ish “interference” with Italy’s East | African policies. Capt. Anthony Eden was assailed for his address in the | House of Commons yesterday in which he said Italian allegations that Britain was fostering Ethiopian hos- tility toward Italy were ‘“mischiev- ously absurd.” | The press took the view that an Italo-Ethiopian conflict was virtually | inevitable. | Congress ‘ (Continued From First Page.) coal N.

If the separate proposal is not enacted, bank offi- cers with outstanding loans from the institutions they serve will be #ubject to a fine of $5,000 and im- prisonment for one year and the banks would face a fine of $10.000, plus the amount of the unpaid loan. Tax Conference Due. While the Senate tangles with the “deadline” brigade next week, House and Senate leaders are expected to get together with Secretary Morgen- | thau to talk over the proposed inheri- tance-gift tax program. Taxes also will come before the House Ways and | Means Committee when consideration will be given proposed extension of about $400,000,000 of so-called nui- gance and excise levies. House leaders will make an effort to get a special rule for consideration week after next of the revised Wag- ner labor disputes bill. The ways and means group will continue work on the bill to replace the alcohol con- trol administration killed by the Su- yreme Court's N. R. A. ruling, and leaders in that branch may try to pet action later in the week on the revised agricultural adjustment act measure. Emperor Selassie Escapes.

ALARM AROUSED BY WIDOW SPIDER Dread Insect Is Creating Apprehension in West and North. By the Associated Press. A cannabalistic Leaping Lena, armed with two powerful poison-load- ed prongs, is the dreaded tropical black widow spider, creating alarm by her general invasion this year of western and northern States. Most dangerous of her species in North America, the widow spider is so named because she devours her smaller mate. While the bite is not necessarily fatal, scientisis say it causes painful and sometimes pro- longed iliness. Pounces on Humans. Easily irritated, she pounces on hu- mans who unsuspectingly touch her scraggly web or disturb her by lifting wood or rocks under which she lies in wait for her prey—flies and other insects.

In the face of prospective wholesale defaults by European war debtor na- Secretary Hull yesterday pledged ently to be thoroughly vigilant in at- tempting to collect all foreign obliga- tions due this country from any source. Although both the American and British notes, just exchanged, men- tioned the desire of both governments to arrive at an amicable settlement of the long-pending debts problem, it was said by administration officials to- day that no new serious attempt to settle the issue through an interna, | tional conference, or otherwise, was | in immediate prospect. | Hull's statement was made imme- | diately after publication of a formel | note from the British government, in | which it announced no payment would be made on the debt installment of $85.000,000, due June 15, or on arrears amounting to more than $380,000,000. It predicted anticipated defaults from | other nations. Italy has already disclosed its inten- tion of following Great Britain’s lead, according to dispatches from Rome. and will shortly deliver a note to the | State Department, announcing its de- fault on payments due this month. Unofficial advices from other Euro- pean capitals have left State Depart- ment officials with little hope that !any of the nations, except Finland, will make any effort to meet their June obligations. Finland, which has maintained its A-1 credit rating by full and prompt payments on all due dates, is expected again to be the only debtor nation which will make a cash payment. PALESTINE FLOWER DAY BEING OBSERVED TODAY Washington Zionists’ Sale Will Aid $500,000 Campaign to Buy Land for Jews. Palestine Flower day is being ob- served today by Washington Zionists. Money raised through the sale of flowers by several hundred volunteers will go toward the $500,000 fund sought throughout the country for the purchase of land in Palestine in the name of the Jewish people. The drive is being conducted under the auspices of the Jewish National Fund of America, an organization de- | voted to reclaiming the land of Pal- estine for the Jews. Through the activities of this organization more than 100,000 acres of land, upon which more than 100 agricultural settle- ments have been established, have been acquired by the Zionists for the | Jewish national home. Cantor Louis J. Novick, chairman of the Jewish National Fund Council of Washington, is conducting the | local one-day drive. e Church on Radio Opposed.

Mr. Bacon also designed the statue of Alexander Hamilton on the south steps of the Treasury Building and the fountain in Dupont Circle. Sculp- | tor for the Titanic Memorial was Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. who filled a like function in creation of the D. A. R. Memorial and the Pan- | American Union Fountain. James E.

Peaslee is listed as architect for Meridian Hill Park, but George Burnap and Vitale, Brinck- erhoff and Geiffert are designated as landscape architects for the project. C. P.

Vanguard of visitors to the Shrine convention, opening this week, has swelled the ranks of Capital visitors by many thousands and made possible substantial increases in nearly all lines of business recently, the Department of Commerce reported yesterday. Department store sales forged ahead of the previous week by 9.2 per cent, although they were 5.5 per cent less than the same period a year ago. Bank clearings increased 24.5 per cent over the previous week, but were 4 per cent below the same week for 1934. Building permits in dollar volume were four times as much as the same | week for 1934, but only 29 per cent | of the previous week. The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele- phone Co. reported a net loss of 40 installations, as compared with net gains of 313 for the previous week and 103 for the same period last year.

Fight __ (Continued From First Page) | the Senate acts on the extension res- olution and the President gives the “go” signal. | A few tentative ideas were lying around for conducting exhaustive re- search into American business, but whether these plans were to develop remained an open question. There was a little debate about the President’s power to approve volun- tary agreements and to grant reprieves ‘from the anti-trust acts. Some ex- | perts thought the House resolution | extending the act gave him virtually | no_power. | Regardless of the legal technicali- ties, an official pointed out that the | extended act is setting up no standards of how agreements would be reached, | | and if codes constituted excessive dele- | gation of power, agreements certainly | would also. | Some thought they saw a joker whereby the extended act would give him more theoretical power to relax | the trust statutes than before but this | debate also was legalistic. It was based on the fact that the extension passed by the House eliminated code-making powers, and along with them language that inveighed against monopoly an small business oppression, while leav- | ing the power to make agreements | without limit. | Hope in Revival. !

SAN DIEGO, Calif.,, June 8.—One hundred and thirty-three warships and auxiliaries and 375 fighting, bomb- ing, scouting and observation planes, symbolic of America’s power on the high seas and in the skies, will pass in review here Monday. Under the command of Admiral Joseph Maron Reeves, commander in chief of the United States Fleet, this magnificent armada, returning from six weeks of intensive maneuvers in the Pacific, is concentrating here in | honor of the California Pacific In- | ternational Exposition. On the 20 flagships and on active duty ashore here will be 24 admirals, the greatest group of flag officers ever | assembled at a Western seaport.

Mrs. Phelps says many of the dele- gates have expressed themselves in | favor of a vote for residents of the | ! Capital, while others have been as-| tonished to learn of the situation here through reading pamphlets forwarded by national representation head- | quarters. ‘ “Well, if it is right that you should have the vote,” she quoted a New | Englander as saying, “why haven't you had it long ago?” Another re- marked: “If you vote, then you will have to pay taxes, won't you?"
