TAKOMA MISSIONARIES AMONG THOSE TO LEAVE Reply to Selassie’'s Appeal to In- voke Paris Peace Pact Urges Peaceful Settlement of Dispute. Britain Reported Planning to Urge Nationals Leave. By the Associated Press. The approximately 125 Americans | in Ethiopia were ordered by the American Legation in Addis Ababa today to leave that country, shortiy efter the American reply to Ethiopia’s eppeal under the Briand-Kellogg pact ‘was received at Addis Ababa. Meanwhile Itgly forged ahead with ‘her plans for a military campaign in North Africa, assured the United States would not interfere in her quarrel. At Salerno today Premier Mussolini, speaking to Italian troops on the eve of their departure for Africa, said his decision to push the struggle there is “irretrievable.” On his way to Salerno Il Duce's seaplane was struck by lightning, but the premier was un- injured. Move to Avoid Involvement. The American State Departments answer to an appeal by Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia to invoke rhe Briand-Kellogg anti-war pact was considered a move to avoid involve- ment in the dispute. The United States in effect declined to intervene. but expressed hope for a peaceful settlement. America’s action was received with gratification in Rome, where war is anticipated. Unofficial sources there said the United States had prevented an embarrassing situation. Great Britain was reported as plan- ning to follow the United States’ lead in advising her nationals to leave Fthiopia as she faced the next steps in her efforts to avert an African war. The Manchester Guardian described Ethiopia’s appeal to Washington as *a pathetic comment of the state of Europe.” The State Department revealed that!

FEAR OF HOSTILITIES SEEN. | | 110 of 125 Americans Called to Leave Are Missionaries. B the Associated Press. ADDIS ABABA. July 6.—The Amer- | ican Legation today ordered all Amer- | icans to leave Ethiopa. Diplomatic circles took the action | to mean that the United States ex- | pects there may be immediate de- | velopments betweeen Ethiopia and Italy. The United States’ reply to Ethi- opia’s appeal invoking the provisions of the Briand-Kellogg pact was re- ceived at the legation at noon. It was not immediately transmitted to lne} government and indications were it| might not be handed the foreign | minister until Monday. | State Department records, searched | recently, indicated that there are ap- | proximately 125 United States citizens | in Ethiopia, 110 of whom are mission- ! aries. The missionaries represent the ! Seventh-Day Adventists of Takoma | FPark, Md.; the Sudan Interior Mis- sion with headquarters in Brooklyn, N. Y, and the Women's General Mis- sionary 8ociety of the United Presby- terian Church of North America, with headquarters in Pittsburgh. Late in June an-Addis Ababa report said that four American woman mis- sionaries, whose names were -not given, had.left Ethiopia and that six others were prepared to depart shortly. Move to Avoid Entanglement. In answering Ethiopia’s appeal; the United States deposited the Italo- Ethiopian troubles back on- the other, ~ side of the Atlantic, but said §t was “loath to believe” either natin would resort to other than pacific means to settle the dispute. A note which Secretary Hull sent to Emperor Haile Selassie in response | to the Ethiopian monarch’s plea th-t‘ the United States invoke the Kellogg- | Briand peace pact to prevent threat- | ened war in Africa was interpreted widely today as an effort to avoid any entanglement in the dispute. | At the same ‘time, though the United States in -effect declined to‘ interfere, it did point out that both | Italy and ‘Abyssinia signed the pact of Paris, which renounces war as an instrument of:natiommal policy. | ‘Thus, ; ‘observers. felt, the pur- pose of m.nw dispstched last night [C3 Page 2. + : 4 Italians have always defeated the black races. Adua (where Italy suf- fered a severe defeat in an invasion of Ethiopia in 1896) was an exception only because of the difference in pro- portion between the forces. There were only 4,000 Italians against 100,- 000 Ethiopians.” All Italy, he declared, is “behind | her sons who are leaving for Africa. Every Italian prefers a life of heroism to a life of uselessness.” The last phrase produced a tre- mendous ovation. The storm through which Musso- lini's plane fought was a continua- tion of an electrical disturbance which struck Rome last night. Premier Mussolini has had a num- ber of narrow escapes marched his b]sck-shln&‘mdsts to. Rome in 1922. Thrice a target for assassins, he escaped each time, once with the end of his nose nipped by a bullet. Many plots against his life were frustrated by secret police.

Climax of Campaign. For the San Francisco matron it was a gallant and successful comeback campaign she started in England lit- tle more than a month ago after she had been on the sidelines for almost |two years. It was vindication, too, for her disputed decision to default to Miss Jacobs in the third set of the | American championship final of 1933 | when she was beset by the back in- jury that subsequently forced her into temporary retirement. For Miss Jacobs it was a bitter de- ! feat just when she seemed on the | verge of the greatest victory of her | career. For the fourth time since 1929 she found herself beaten in the final round of the British tournament. She | lost to Mrs. Moody in 1929 and 1932 and was beaten by Dorothy Round, British star, last year. ! Drama in Third Set. Most of the drama of today's battle was packed into the third set.

On her own service, Mrs. Moody led at 40—30. but a double-fault pulled | Miss Jacobs to deuce.

There was a marked lack of Laanimity, however, as to what the specific rates should be. and how much revenue they should raise.

More rain was in prospect tonight in the wake of showers which fell in | scattered sections of the District yes- terday afternoon, postponing the Washington-New York ball game. Cooler weather is expected over the week end. While only one-fiftieth of an inch of rain fell at the Weather Bureau, the downpour at Griffith’s Stadium yesterday was sufficient to delay the } noon. Heavy rain fell in the northeast and eastern sections and in the vicin- ity of Capitol Hill as the Northwest experienced light showers or no rain at all. The current forecast is for “showers | tonight and probably clearing tomor- | row morning. Not so warm tomorrow | and cooler tomorrow night.” The showers yesterday were attend- degree maximum especially oppres- sive. The mercury got down to 73 early this morning and was rising well into the 80s again before noon. Cooler weather was forecast for most of the country today when a survey showed at least 15 persons died directly or indirectly as a result of the current heat wave—the first extensive one of the Summer.

By the Associated Press With bankers split over the com- promise banking bill's provisions per- mitting banks of deposit to go back into the securities underwriting busi- ness under strict limitations. Senator Glass’ formal report on the measure was filed today in the Senate It was mostly an explanation of | changes made in the House bill. Few | reasons for the changes were given. President Roosevell made known yesterday he would study the pro- vision relaxing existing prohibitions sgainst banks of deposit entering the securities field to see if it provided adequate safeguards against a return of former evils. Authoritative sources today indicated he might seek changes. The report by Senator Glass, chair- man of the subcommittee which drafted most of the changes, made no | comment on this section, merely ex- plaining the conditions under which commercial banks could underwrite and sell securities within certain lim- itations. “To Retain Regulation.” | Regarding another amendment af- fecting private bankers the report said “it had been deemed advisable 10 8 |recain the prohibition on unregulated | | private banking so far as practicable |and at the same time to relieve the | controller of the currency and the | Federal Reserve banks of many prob- | lems which have made the administra- tion of the law highly burdensome.” | This referred to a change in the | House provisions repealing a section of | the 1933 banking act, prohibiting any person or organization not subject to examination and regulation under State or Federal law from engaging in the business of receiving deposits un- less they submitted to examination by the controller of the currency or a Federal Reserve bank. Amendment Suggested. “Instead of repealing this para- graph.” the Glass report said. “the | committee recommends that it be amended so as 1o prohibit any person | or organization from engaging in the | agents, or employes unless such person | or organization: is incorporated under | and authorized {0 engage in such busi- States, left today to return to Wash- | ness by a Federal or State law, or is | | permitted to engage in such business | Immediately after the Ambassador | by any State, Territory or District. and | is subject under the laws thereof to examination and regulation, or sub- mits to examination by the banking authorities of the State, Territory or | District where the business is con- | ducted and makes and publishes pe- riodic reparts of condition under the same conditions as required by local | law of an incorporafed banking insti- | tution.” As a result of the amendment, the report said it would “no longer be pos- | sible for such institutions to advertise | that they are subject to Federal ex- amination, which has a tendency to deceive the public into thinking that such institutions are also subject to Federal supervisory regulation and | control.” |BROOKLYN BOY GIVEN RELEASE BY KIDNAPERS Justice Department Reveals $5,- 000 Ransom Demand After Several Days.

GENERAL LOBBYING PROBE SOUGHT IN SENATE BY CLARK {All Attempts to Influence Legislation Would Be Investigated. ‘[HOUSE TO CONFINE QUIZ TO UTILITIES BILL Upper Branch Has More Power to Get Facts, Missouri Law- maker Declares. By the Associated Prese A move was in progress today to make a Senate investigation of lobby- ing the most sweeping inquiry of its kind ever conducted on Capitol Hill. Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis- souri, said he would seek to broaden a prospective inquiry into activities for and against the utilities bill. Under the Clark plan the workings of all lobbies seeking to affect legis- lation, from far-flung organizations of national importance to little one- man outfits, would be investigated The Serete Interstate Commerce | Committee already has approved a $150,000 inquiry into lobbying on the | utilities measure. The Senate has vet to act Even without the Clark amendment, | which he will offer Monday. the Sen- | ate investigators would be armed with more powers than a House ingquiry | which will start next week. The Senate committee, besides having $150,000 to spend, would have the power of subpoena, which the House Rules Committee, the other investi- gating body, would not ’ Points to Other Lobbies. Clark said there was no reason to confine the Senate inquiry to lobby- ing about utilities alone “There are lobbies on other bills. including the ship subsidy that are Jjust as active,” he said ‘It's all right, of course. for the House to confine its investigation to the utility bill. They are investigat ing specific charges that Tom Cor- coran (R. F. C. attorney) attempted to influence the vote of Representa- tive Brewster. Republican. of Maine, “But the Senate is not so restricted. I think if we are going to spend $150.000 on an investigation, it ought to be comprehensive and include lobbying on all legislation, both sides of the question.” The prospective Senate inquiry brought a clash yesterday. Repre- sentative Blanton, Democrat. of Texas, though saying he favored an inquiry, held it was futile to spend as much | as $150.000 to investigate “something we already know about.” Supporting | the proposed $150.000 appropriation, Representative Rankin, Democrat, of Mississippi, accused power interests of a “most outrageous saturnalia of propaganda.” Wheeler Fights for Bill. Senator Wheeler. Democrat, of Montana, a leader in the Roosevelt administration's drive for a utility bill containing a “death sentence” for “unnecessary” holding companies, con- tinued his efforts to save that provi- sion, which the House struck out in a revolt against administration desires. He reiterated that it was “incon- ceivable” that the Senate would con- cur on Monday with the House amend- | ment striking out the “death” clause. | He also said the House made many other changes “which in my judgment | whittled away and destroyed the ef- fects of the bill.” Meanwhile, with the two investiga- tions pending, legislators noted a marked decrease in efforts to sway | votes on the amendments to the Ten- nessee Valley Authority act.
