C. Headquarters Activity Probe~—Promises of Job in Army Denied. Recruiting of “sympathizers” was at a temporary standstil todsy at Wash- ington’s informal Ethiopian recruiting station in the offices of the Universal Multitechnic Assoclation, 1337 U street, as the Department of Justice began investigations into the activi- ties of the association. Officers of the association had sus- pended recruiting activities and gone into executive session when Henry Suydam of the Justice Department announced the department is conduct- ing investigations to determine whether actual recruiting is being carried on by the organization. Coerc- ing of recruits for armies outside the United States is forbidden by Federal statute, although voluntary enlistment is permitted, it was explained. No Promises Made, More than 15 men were on hand when the U street office opened at 10:30 a.m. today under direction of Becretary Bernard Hampton, who took charge in the absence of James Y. Eaton, vice president and general man- ager. The association explained it does not promise any one a place in the Ethiopian Army, nor does it promise transportation to Africa. “The association,” Eaton explained, *“exists only for the purpose of obtain- ing a consensus of sympathizers.” List 100 Sympathizers. Eaton said that more than 100 men hed signed as “sympathizers,” 11 of this number being white men. One of them was Albert Perry, 49, who claimed he was an American Indian and had served in the United States Army Air Serv- ice during the World War. e said in his application that he is willing to show his sympathies are with Ethi- opia “to the extent of fighting for her.” Eaton said the local organization is not connected with that in the Har- lem section of New York, adding that the difference between the two is “that they charge a quarter up there; down here it is free.” RE-ELECT D.

Patrick J. Hurley, former Secretary of War, discussed the Government and the oll business, advocated inter- state compacts for the control of oil production. The Federal social security act was termed “anti-social and unconstitu- tional” by Louis A. Lecher of Milwau- kee in an address before the commit- tee on Federal taxation of the asso- ciation. “Taxes Right to Live.” “The income upon which it is as- sessed begins at scratch and ends at $3,000 & year,” he said. “If it is a tax in fact, it is & tax upon the right to live and makes the act anti-social, in- stead of a social security act, as the act describes itself. “If the income tax laid under title right is in fact a tax, we are embark- | ing upofi & new and novel theory of income taxation under which every | employe subject to the tax is guaran- teed his money back with interest if he dies before the age of 65, and an additional profit if he survives that age, and with no one allowed to par- | cipate in the pot created by the tax unless he has contributed toit. There- is no ‘kitty’ for the farmer, public or charitable employe, or the servant who didn’t put in.” Adoption of new legal rules regard- ing governmental responsibility for | its acts was recommended by Fred- ericks F. Blachly of Brookings Insti- tution. “In carrying out the multitudinous functions of the modern state, govern- ments must inevitably injure many individuals,” Blachly said. “If, instead of making servants of the State responsible for injuries, we make the State itself liable, we protect | BLA the individual far better than he is protected under our present system.” Modified N.

During yesteiday's debate, Byrd challenged Smith to show whece the producers had any voice in the price | fixicg by handlers. Smith agreed it was not entirely as clear as he would like it and offered to accept an amendment making any price-fixing provision subject to sanction of a majority of the growers. “If you are in favor of price fix- ing as a general priaciple,” Byrd in- sisted, “why nct take every food product and ‘ix the , price, without limiting it to the few items in this bill?” “Simply,” Smith replied, *‘because a quarter grain of strychnine may be a tonic is no reason I should take a fist full” ‘The roll call on price-fixing follows: N FOR RETENTION OF PRICE-FIX- ING—40.

By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, July 17.—A single-mo- tored Soviet mystery plane awaited favorable weather today to hop off on an attempted 6,000-mile non-stop flight across the North Pole from Mos- cow to San Francisco. The flight—promising to be one of the most spectacular ever undertaken —would, if successful, break the non- stop distance record of 5,635.5 miles, set by Paul Codos and Maurice Rossi in 1933 in a flight from New York to Rayak, Syria. Preparations were carried out in strictest secrecy. Officlals of the Northern Sea Route Department, which organized the venture, declined to make public a description of *the plane or to add anything to the brief communique last night announcing the flight. Sigmund Levaneffsky, who bears the official title, “hero of the Soviet Union,” was named the leader of the crew of three. Officials announced today that he would take off as soon as the weather permitted. A heavy storm was report- ed over the Behring Sea, directly on the fiyers’ route.

HICAGO, July 17.—Wilbur Glen Voliva, overseer of the religious’ colony of Zion, I, came out today with some bad news for Emperor Haile Selassie and all the Ethiopian fans. Ttaly will win the threatened Italiad- Ethiopian - war, said Voliva, who claimed the whole thing—war and outcome—was foretold in the Bible, The old exponent of a flat would, now dieting on nuts and buttermilk in the hope of living to be 100, chart- ed the conflict today oui of the Book of Daniel. He thinks Mussolini is “the super- man,” the “man of iron” whose rise is predicted there, and thinks this is the “time of the end.” If that is so, then: “Mussolini will take over Ethiopia and add the inhabitants to his armies,” said the overseer. Further Congquests. “He will then proceed to carry out his program, with designs upon the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, the Medi- terranean Sea, Egypt and Palestine.” And those designs will go through, too, said Voliva, for he sees in the eleventh chapter of Daniel a flat pre- | diction that the Holy Roman Empire will rise again, with the “superman” | a8 its boss. This, in turn, leads up to the battle of Armageddon and the consequent end of the world. Voliva says that is just around the corner, “about 1942 | or 1943.” READS IL DUCE'S RISE IN BIBLE, WILBUR GLEN VOLIVA. 42 says in plain words that ‘Egypt shall not escape.’” “I won't say dogmatically that Mus- | solini is the superman, but he comes | closer to fitting the picture than any man who ever lived.” ‘The job is a big one, for the super- The bad news for the Ethiopians is | man will “rule the worlc " said Vo- set out plainly, Voliva said, in Daniel | 1iva, but he comes to no good in the x1.43. “It tells us the Ethiopians shall be at his feet,” said Voliva, “and verse KELVINATOR 9 20 Small Carrying Charge Before buying any refrigerator be sure and see the new low priced 21st anniver- sary “Kelvinator.” Full size, full-powered mechanism, modern in every detail Plenty of food storage space and ice cubes.

GENEVA, July 17 (#).—The League of Nations announced today that it is pi to convoke the Council about July 25 to deal with the Italo- Ethiopian crisis, considering that little hope remains for revival of arbitra- tion. Preliminary warning was sent to members of the League Council that their presence may be required soon in Geneva. PLANES TO GO TO COLONIES, ROME, July 17 (#).—The national | aviation service disclosed today plans Shirt troops also marched to em- barkation points. Other masses of recruits poured into training canton- ments in response to Premier Benito Mussolini’s orders for continual re- placement of reserve forces. II Duce, admitting openly that Italy’s cause in East Africa has not been properly understood in some parts of the world, was insisteut that Roman justice—and only Roman jus- tice—should be employed to settle the | fssue. He received the French Ambassador, | Count de Chambrun, late yesterday to discusy the crisis. He conferred also ! with the Japanese Ambassador, Yotaro | Sugimura, who assured P.m Japan had | no interest in East Africa and would not, intervene. Later Mussolini received two Amer- icans, H. V. Kaltenborn, New York news commentator, and Mrs. Scottie McKenzie Frazier, Dothan, Ala., news- paper woman. Contrary to his usual | custom, he consented to answer five questions presented by Kaltenborn. | Not Determined on War. | Q. Are you determined on war with Ethiopia, no matter what happens? A. T have not said so. Q. Is it not a fact that you have | presented your East African case rather badly to the woMd? A. Yes, the case has not been thor- oughly understood. Q. Would it be possible to har- to supply Italy’s colonial forces with some 300 planes, threatening large- ecale aerial warfare against Ethiopia. The air service plunged into the project, designed to overcome the obstacles of Ethiopia’s desert lands | and mountain citadels, after an ad- vance guard of 80 pilots and 24 planes sailed for East Africa. Gen. Giuseppe Valle, undersecre- tary for air, who bade farewell to this contingent at Naples, indicated that | monize the East African situation by | the establishment of a joint Italian, | British and French protectorate? | A. Impossible, impossible. Multi- | lateral protectorates are no good. Q. Does Italy wish to resign from the League of Nations? | A. Notatall. Idonot wish to take i Italy from the League. Q. Is there still a good chance of peace? A. Peace is possible.
