Today's developments in the ltalian- Frhiopian situation included the fol- lowing: Bir Samuel Hoare, British foreign sec- retary, told the House of Commons today that Italy's need for expan- sion and complaints against Ethiopia did not justify her going to war. Four European nations, where war munitions are manufactured for sale abroad, were reported today to be holding up or flatly refusing to ship arms to Ethiopia, which fears an invasion by Italy. The nations mentioned are Great Britain, France, Czechoslovakia and Denmark. At Geneva, League of Nations sources said a special session of the Council probably would be called within three weeks at Ethiopia’s request to attempt the solution of the Italo- Ethiopian conflict. In Rome, Premier Mussolini told a group of 120 high officers of the Fascist Militia, previous to their departure for East Africa, that he was determined on a ‘‘complete solution” of the conflict with Ethiopia. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 11.—Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secretary, declared be- fore the House of Commons today that he did not feel Italy's need for expansion and complaints against Ethiopia were sufficient cause for war. The foreign secretary said he ad- mitted the need of and the British understanding of Italian overseas ex- pansion, but that still such need was insufficient for hostilities. He pledged that England would not abandon “any reasonable chance which may offer itself for helping prevent a disastrous war.” Sir Samuel refused to divulge the lines being adopted toward this end, but he, nevertheless, assured the leg- islators that there was no foundation for rumors that the government had asked the French to join a blockade against Italy or that Great Britain was preparing “some isolated form of coercion.” Will Act With Others. He said Great Britain was willing to accept her full share of collective responsibility and fidelity to the League of Nations and its principles. Well-informed sources said today that the British government was holding up the granting of export licenses for the shipment of munitions to Ethiopia. The statement was taken as an in- dication that Great Britain was join- ing other arms manufacturing coun- tries in withholding war materials Irom Ethiopia. Reports from France, Czechoslo- vakia and Denmark previously have indicated that those nations have halted shipments of arms to the African Empire. Authoritative quarters said that the final British decision on the granting of arms export licenses had not been reached, but that at least two appli- cations for them had not been grant- ed while the question is being con- sidered. The applications concerned were received within the last 10 days, after Ethiopia found her supplies of arms from other places had been shut off. Government sources said Sir Sam- uel's statement emphasized Great Britain's desire for peace, not only in East Africa but throughout the world, end affirmed its belief in a collective system of security.

The statemert was in answer to & question as tc the conference he held yesterday with Augusto Rosso, the Ttalian Ambassador. The Secretary added that they discussed the Italo- Ethiopian question briefly and in gen- eral terms in the course of a conversa- tion concerning affairs of “mutual in- terest” o the Italian and American governments. Hull asserted that the United States had no officiat information of a re- ported impending tripartite confer- ence among Italy, Great Britain and France in another effort to discover peaceful means of settling the African dispute. The Hull-Rosso conference was the first to be heid by spokesmen of the two powers since the Ethiopian em- peror’s appeal tc the United States to invoke the Kellogg-Briand peace pact against Italy.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 11— Names of two colored men have been added to the list of approxi- mately 10,000 Shelby County resi- dents eligible for jury duty, as a result of the United States Su- preme Court ruling in the Scotts- boro case. Although the chance of being drawn is one in 5,000, a colored person’s name appeared today on the panel from which jurors are being selected to try City Judge Lewis T.

HAPSBURG TREND STIRS OPPOSITION Tyrolese Heimwehr Leader | Warns Legitimists of “Red Signal Lights.” By the Associated Press. VIENNA, July 11 —Simmering dis- sension bordering on revolt against the pro-Hapsburg tendencies of the Austrian government became notice- able today among members of the Fascist Home Guard. Prince Ernst von Starhemberg's private army has been by no means whole-heartedly for an early restora- tion of the Hapsburg dynasty. The Tyrolese Heimwehr leader, Albert Schober, has warned legitimists bluntly that they are disregarding red signal lights. The bitter feelings of many Heim- wehr men in this respect was dis- closed by publication of a speech by Schober to a Home Guard meeting at Innsbruck. Warnings Referred To. Schober called attention to various | warnings by Vice Chancellor von | Starhemberg that the Hapsburg resto- | ration preblem is full of dynamite and is likely to result in invasion of | Austria if a solution is attempted hastily. He criticized sharply legitimists who, he said, have been casting doubts on the patriotism of the Heimwehr men because they are lukewarm toward restoration. “We protest against efforts to label us as weaker patriots, or even traitors, because many of us cannot feel as much enthusiasm for the idea of a Hapsburg monarchy as others,” he asserted. “We decidedly resent attempts by legitimists—who would not be allowed | to show their heads today if we had not saved them—to destroy the Heim- wehr and on the ruins of the avowed militant organization build up their dreams. “Let those beware whose habit it is to call the Heimwehr men of proven courage and patriotism ‘mutineers’ and ‘radicalinskis’ because they are not outspoken legitimists.” Would Defy Ban. The anti-Hapsburg feeling in the Heimwehr appeared strongest in the ‘Tyrol, where Von Starhemberg’s sub- ordinates insist they will carry a message to the people, regardless of a recently issued ban on all speeches and political gatherings between now and September 15. Complicating the situation in that province has been the tendency of legitimist activities against the Heim- wehr to strengthen that section of the organization in favor of recon- ciliation with Germany. Republican Austria, meanwhile, was to be thrown open to the Hapsburgs after the federal Diet passed unani- mously a law revoking the banishment of the former ruling house and re- storing its seized properties. Several members of the Diet who joined yesterday in the favorable vote had voted in 1919 to exile the rulers and confiscate their properties. Only the signature of President Wilhelm Miklas was needed to put the legis- lation into effect. —_— 1936 STAGE TO BE SET BY YOUNG DEMOCRATS Saturday Session at St. Paul Will Lay Ground Work for Next Year's Contest.

C., THURSDAY, JULY TYDINGS RECESSES QUIZ AFTER CALL Virgin Island Inquiry Chair- man Gives No Explanation for Sudden Action. ROOSEVELT TAKES HAND AFTER BITTER EXCHANGE Ickes Preceded Senator at Execu- tive Mansion and Was Due to Return to Luncheon By the Associated Press. ‘The Senate’s investigation of the Virgin Islands was recessed today, “subject to the call of the chair,” by Chairman Tydings, whose action was taken on his return to the hearing room after a conference with Presi- dent Roosevelt. ‘The recess was snnounced without explanation after Mr. Roosevelt per- | sonally had taken a hand in the controversy between Secrelary Ickes ,and Tydings over the conduct of the investigation by summoning both to the White House. { No indicaticn of what the President said to Tydings during their talk last- | ing an hour was given beyond a statement by Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader, who accompanied the Territories Committee chairman to the White House. | “We have discussed various phases | of the Virgin Islands situation,” he | said. 1 Tydings Is Silent. Immediately on his return to the room where the investigation was in| progress Tydings abruptly announced“ the hearings were recessed. He would | make no statement beyond saying: “There is nothing to add to Robin- | son’s statement.” He asked witnesses summoned from the islands to leave their names and addresses with the secretary, but gave no indication as to when or where the inquiry would be resumed. He then left for the Senate floor. Ickes, who precipitated a heated clash with the committee chairman by charging that Tydings had “white- washed” a witness at the inquiry, preceded Tydings to the White House. He was to return there again for ! luncheon with the President. Tydings answered with a letter ad- vising the Interior Secretary to “first get elected to the Senate” if he | wished to tell that bedy “how to| conduct its business” He charged | Ickes sought “cheap publicity.” The investigation was recessed shortly after Paul Yates, deposed ad- ministrative assistant of Gov. Paul | M. Pearson, had completed his testi- mony before the committee in support of his charges of maladministration of the Virgin Islands government. Hottest Clash of Year. The controversy between Ickes and | Tydings has flared into one of the hottest clashes of the year, with charges of all kinds being tossed back and forth. | Tydings’ letter today followed Ickes’ verbal demand that Judge T. Webber | Wilson of the Virgin Islands be re- moved for “judicial misconduct.” and a letter from the Interior Secretary accusing the Marylander of “white- washing” Wilson in testimony before the Investigating Committee. Refused Cross-Examination. The row began when Tydings, as chairman of the committee, refused to allow Ickes to cross-examine Wilson, Yates, former newspaper man, and other witnesses appearing against Gov. Pearson, whose administration of the Virgin Islands is under fire. Wilson told the committee there had been “administrative interference” with his court. In reply to this, Ickes wrote Tydings: “There was no cross-examination to test his truthfulness and if any state- ment ever needed such a test, it was his.” The Interior Secretary, whose de- partment has supervision over Ameri- can island possessions, also charged that Tydings and the Investigating Committee's lawyers alded Wilson in “glossing over his maladministration of the district court of the Virgin Islands.” “Cheap Publicity” Charged. Tydings’ letter accused Ickes of in- dulging in “cheap publicity” and ad- vised him to “confine yourself to the duties for which you were appointed.” Tydings also asserted Ickes had libeled Wilson in a press release, said the Secretary did not know the defini- tion of the word “fairness,” and added: “It would have been far better, Mr. Secretary, if you would retract your own libel of Judge Wilson and put your own house in order before in- truding your unwelcome person into purely legislative matters.” 3,000 LIVES TAKEN BY CHINESE RIVER Lo Rises 20 Feet, Wiping Out Yenshih Hsien, in Honan Province. By the Associated Press. HANKOW, China, July 11.—Un- confirmed Chinese reports said tonight that between 2,000 and 3,000 persons had perished in the town of Yenshih Hsien in Western Honan Province, 20 miles east of Honanfu, when the Lo River rose 20 feet. The rise, attributed to a cloudburst, was reported to have wiped out the town. Advices said that the landscape was littered with human bodies and the wreckage of the once-prosperous community. The situation in the Yellow River Valley was regarded as menacing, and the Han River in Hupeh Province spreads its destruction.

WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION REVRITEN 1.V, L PASSES OLGE BY 27T VOTE Provisions Objectionable to | Roosevelt Eliminated From Measure. MILITARY AFFAIRS PROPOSAL REJECTED Administration Forces to Press| for Compromise on Utilities Legislation. By the Associated Press. After eliminating every major pro- vision objectionable to President Roosevelt, the House today passed legislation to broaden the power of the Tennessee Valley Authority. - The vole on final passage was announced as 277 to 100. | ‘The bill now goes back to the Senate for action on amendments added by the House. The differences probably will be adjusted by a con- ference commitiee representing the Senale and House. Utilities Bill in Conference. Already, the utilities bill has been sent to conference by the Senate to attempt to agree on whether to re- tain the provision desired by Presi- dent Roosevelt to eliminate “un- necessary” holding companies in seven vears. ‘The House rejected this twice and the Senate approved it by a l-vote Twice before the final T. V. A. vote the House affirmed its action in elim- inating a clause that would have given T. V. A. a limited time in which to work out a self-sustaining power de- velopment. By a 90-t0-38 standing vote and again by a 274-10-102 roll call it voted down a motion by Representative An- drews, Republican, of New York, to send the measure back to the Military Committee with instructions to insert language that would have forbidden the agency after July 1. 1938, to sell power and chemicals below production costs. The Roosevelt forces drove ahead, meanwhile, with an attempt io gain a “compromise” in the other major power struggle, the utilities bill con- troversy. They were plainly heartened by the series of encounters they won on T. V. A. in the House, which only last week had “revolted” and turned thumbs down on Mr. Roosevelt's plan for mandatory abolition of “unneces- sary” utility holding companies. | The Senate, which, unlike the House, | had voted for ‘he cen:pulsory abolition feature, stuck by (Lis stand yesterday and sent the prob:em to conference. ‘When reporters asked Senator Rob- inson of Arkansas, Deinocratic leader, whether he thought the chances for | compromise in conterence wers good, | he said: | “Oh. yes, there’s gct to be a com- | promise.” { Modification Proposed. Though there was .0 oficial state- | ment, there was sume talk of ofler-{ ing to make the Eerate dissolution clause apply only io holding com- panies in the tnird cegree or b.gher, instead of prohibiting all except frst- degree” holding firms. L] “First-degree”. holding firms are superimposed directly on operating companies. Second-degree holding companies control the first-degree firms, and so on. The composition of the Senate Con- ference Committee chosen to meet the House conferees was under fire today from opponents of the Sen- ate bill. The conferees are Senators Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana; Barkley, Dem- | ocrat, of Kentucky; Brown, Democrat, of New Hampshire; White, Republic- an, of Maine, and Shipstead, Farmer- Labor, of Minnesota. Philip H. Gads- den, chairman of the Committee of Public Utility Executives, accused Sen- ator Wheeler, who has been in charge of the administration fight, of picking the conferees unfairly. Bill Drastically Rewritten. ‘The T. V. A. bill, written to bolster and broaden the Valley agency’s scope, had been drastically rewritten by hostile House committeemen before it came to the voting stage. Swiftly, the Roosevelt men suc- ceeded in writing in these amend- ments: To delete a clause saying T. V. A. must sell power or chemicals at not less than cost after July 1, 1937. Passed, 98 to 67. To let T. V. A. operate without absolute control by the controller general over its expenditures. Passed, | 162 to 120. To delete a section preventing the agency from constructing power lines paralleling existing private ones. Passed, 237 to 145. To let the Authority decide whether private interests may build dams or appurtenant works on the Tennessee River or tributaries. Passed by a voice vote. 11, —_— WHY SHOULD I 1935—FIFTY ¢ Fpening Star PAGES. GET OUT?

By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, July 11.—The State Public Service Commission today is- sued an order to the Capital Transit Co. of Washington authorizing substi- tution of bus service for street car lines to Maryland points adjacent to the National Capitial. Changes will be made in service from the District of Columbia line to Chevy Chase, Kensington and Garrett Park on one route and from the District line to Rockville on Wisconsin avenue. Public hearings were held in June | at which the communities affected ap- proved the proposed changes. The Transit Co. asserted it would make the change about September 1. ‘Tracks used by present trolley lines are to be removed and in some places the right of way is to be paved to widen the roads. Rockville demanded that the tracks into the town be eliminated and concrete poured to make the section conform with the town's general paving plan. Kensington and Garrett Park op- posed the plan until the proposed bus service was extended to include these communities. = . 317 Jews Arrested.

BALTIMORE, July 11.—America's sky giant—the Flying Clipper No. 2— was made ready for a full-load flight. She is to drone into the air late today with a gross weight of 51,000 pounds. Glenn L. Martin, at whose plant the 46-passenger craft is being com- pleted, said 24,000 pounds of the load will be gasoline. There will be 10 persons aboard, including Raymond Quick, Department of Commerce in- spector. Engineers, soundproofing experts and mechanics are to make the full-load flight. The regular test pilots, W. K. Ehle and L. P. McCardy, will be at the controls. ‘The 24,000 pounds of gasoline, amounting to 4,000 gallons, will be hangs. on the weather for the next seven dage | the Dboitom of the hull, two 900-gallon | stored in two 1,000-gallon tanks in . tanks in the sea wings and one 200- gallon tank in the wing.

She is 90 feet in length, and is powered with four engines totaling 3,200 horsepower. Official speed tests are yet to be runm, but the gigantic craft has clocked 185 miles per hour maximum speed at 8,000 feet, and a cruising speed at the same level of 160 miles an hour. She has not yet been fitted out. She will be a conventional plane by day and a sleeper by night. As a day fiyer the craft will carry 46 passen- gers.

NEW YORK, July 11.—Angry be- | cause she had to take off in a cross- | | wind, Laura Ingalls roared toward Burbank, Calif., today in a low-winged monoplane with the hope of setting a transcontinental speed record for ‘women. Her plane lifted from Floyd Bennett Airport at 4:31:30 a.m., Eastern stand- ard time, after & run of 2,500 feet on & 3,100-foot runway. The trip if successful will be the first East-to-West non-stop flight by a woman. The women's transconti- nental record of 17 hours 7 minutes and 30 seconds was set West-to-East by Amelia Earhart on July 8, 1933. Prevailing winds favor the West-to- East flights. | When Miss Ingalls arrived at the airport to supervise the loading of her plane more than two hours before the take-off, she proposed to nose her plane directly into the wind on the long runway toward the airport’s buildings. Because of the plane's heavy load, F. William Zelcer, aviation commis- sioner of New York, forbade her to use the long runway. The fiyer turned angrily fo Capt. Kenneth Behr, manager of the airport and official timer for the N. A. A, and + complained: “I can’t express myself. It's unfair.” Her plane was equipped with a radio compass and she planned to follow the radio beams of the T. W.

PEEBLES, Ohio, July 11 (®).—A bomb badly damaged the home of Common Pleas Judge J. R. B. Kessler today. No one was «t home at the time. Sherift George Baldridge sald the | bomber evidently believed the judge and his wife were there, since the ex- plosive was set below tne window of the bed room usually occupied by them. It tore out one side of the two- story frame house. Judge Kessler said he could not explain the bombing, cniess some one or promise was made in his presence to persuade Representative Brewster, Republican. of Maine, to vote to abolish “unnecessary” holding com- panies, as desired by President Roose- velt. Brewster had charged that Thomas Corcoran, R. F. C. official, threatened to stop construction of the Passama- quoddy, Me., tide-harnessing project unless the Representative supported the President The Senate meanwhile, approved a $50,000 investigation into the power and other lobbies by a five-man com- mittee empowered to draw in “G-men” or other help from executive depart- ments. The resolution, introduced by Sen- ator Black, Democrat, of Alabama, was approved unanimously with but a few scattered comments. Farm Quiz Wanted. Senator Hastings, Republican. of Delaware, proposed to amend it by specifying that among subjects to he investigated would be the “part played” by Federal officials in bringing farm- ers to Washington last May 13-16 in support of A. A. A. amendments. When Black assured that the resolu- tion was wide enough to include the farm question, Hastings withdrew his amendment. Testimony was received that Gruen- | ing, former editor of the Nation and of a Portland, Me., newspaper, at the House probe. was present at the con- versation between Brewster and Corcoran. Corcoran has denied the assertion. Earlier, Gruening testified that Brewster told him he intended to re- main at his hotel and not be present at the House vote on abolishing “un- | necessary” holding companies. Did Vote, However. However, he did vote against the administration. “My God! You can't do that.” Gruening said he told Brewster when informed he intended to absent him- self from the vote. He testified aiter Corcoran had denied to Representative Lehlbach, Republican, of New Jersey that he thumbed his nose at a House mem- ber opposed to the abolition clause and Senator White, Republican, of Maine had said his vote on the utilities bill was not “influenced” in any way. Before the meeting with Brewster and Corcoran, Gruening testified, Cor- coran told him by telephone: “Where is Ralph Brewster? I think vour friend is a double-dealer. I think he is going to run out on us.” “I said, ‘I don’t think that pos- sible. I don't believe for a moment he is going to run out. I called his office and his secretary said he is here,’ ” Gruening went on. “He said: ‘T am sorry for what I said and you had better call him. He cer- tainly has been active so far in be- half of this bill."”” No, Sir, Didn’t Thumb Nose. Soon after today's session opened Lehlbach wanted to know if, after the celebrated Brewster conversation, Corcoran returned to the House cor- ridor opposite the Speaker’s office and talked to several members. “Did you not then thumb your nose at a member who was going 1o vote against the death sentence?” Lehlbach asked. “No,” Corcoran replied. Shortly thereafter Senaie White denied he had in any way been “in- fluenced” in his vote on utility legis- | lation. White, mentioned in previous testi- | mony by Brewster and Corcoran as | having been spoken to by Brewster on his “death sentence” vote, said the testimony had been irritating to him and he wanted the record kept straight.
