LAVAL THREATENS DICTATORSHIP IF STRIFE CONTINUES Veiled Warning in Demand That Recovery Decrees Be Accepted. FATE OF REGIME AND OF NATION AT STAKE Rioting at Toulon and Brest Blamed to Professional Agi- tators by Officials. Bv the Associated Press. PARIS, August 10.—Premier Pierre Laval gave warning today that a dic- | tatorship of France was not unlikely if present measures fail in the en-; forcement of his recovery decrees, which have already caused disorder and bloodshed. The warning, veiled but unmistak- able, was contained in his insistent demands that his unpopular decrees be accepted. The fate of the regime and the life of the country are at stake, he told a gathering of all but one of France's 86 prefects. Lacking dictatorial pow- ers himself, the premier made the provincial governors share the re- sponsibility of preventing the “dra- matic situation.” Fear of further disorders over the government’s effort to find a way out of the depression through de- flation subsided, however, as investi- gating officials blamed a few profes- sional agitators for the rioting at Toulon and Brest.

Ethiopia to Turn “Sachet Kitty” on Italian Soldiers Skunk-like Civet Cat Would Hold Strategic Water Places. | By the Associated Press. ADDIS ABABA, August 10.—The Civet cat, which smells just as bad as the United States skunk and grows three times as big, was drafted today for possible hostilities against Italy, Emperor Haile Selassie’s ministry of commerce not only ordered a speeding up in the culture of the Civet cat to | obtain funds with which to buy badly needed munitions, but Ethiopian tribesmen were reported laying plans to harass the men of Il Duce by post- ing the animals at water wells that might be used by the Italians. Civet culture is a major industry of Ethiopia, for the *sachet Kkitty” gives off a secretion that is indis- pensable to perfume manufacturers (of all people).

TAX MODIFIGATION PLANS DEVELOPING Senate Finance Group, in Secret Session, Moves to Ameliorate Levies. BULLETIN. Administration plans to “soak the rich” today were turned against families of normal sized incomes when the Senate Finance Commit- tee reduced the income tax exemp- against a recurrence of last night's rioting when 2 were killed and 1rnm5 50 to 200 injured. Other ports ap-| peared to have settled down to normal work. | Trade unions deplored the dis- orders because they were exploited by their “adverseries.” Appeals to end the street fighting were made by the | Socialist and Communist parties in posters in Toulon. The posters said there had been “enough bloodshed.” Opposition to the decrees continued, however, as left wing and “popular front” posters urged the workers to hold themselves in readiness to fight for their demands. A meeting of war veterans scheduled for Sunday at| Toulon to protest the decrees and the cutting of pensions was officially for- vidden. It is the government’s intention to | use persuasion rather than force to | carry out its recovery program, official utterances indicated. The “real work- ers” were exonerated from all blame for the outbreaks in numerous state- ments by officials, while Laval asked ! the country’s confidence in decrees designed to revive trade, reduce the cost of living and stimulate employ- | ment. Whether the decrees will succeed is problematical, say even moderate com- mentators, because of their unpopu- larity, but they are generally termed the “first real effort to combat the| depression in France.” The govern- ment, having promulgated them, has indicated its conviction that they must be firmly enforced. Any alter-| native would be to risk even more serfous trouble than the recent spo- radic outbreaks. Liner Champlain Sails. The strike of the French Line ended with the sailing of the liner Champ- | lain for New York. More than 800 passengers were held up two days by the strike. The line agreed to com- tion for married couples from $2,500 to $2,000. At the same time the exemptions for a single person was cut from $1,000 to $800. Fur- ther drastic provisions included the dropping of the surtax start from the $4,000 income to the $3,000 in- come. BY JOHN C. HENRY. Bearing out predictions that the conservative group in the Senate Fi- nance Committee would wield suffi- cient power to force extensive modih- | cations in the pending tax legisia- tion, reports were current today that tentative decisions already have been reached to make several changes. Although officially the committee still is functioning behind- its seir- imposed veil of secrecy, reports of the following revisions leaked out last| night and this morning: That the committee deliberations vesterday morning concerned prin- cipally the inheritance tax section, and that the new schedule of rates re- | quested of the consultant experts at that time is for application to tRe ex- isting estate taxes.

GENEVA, August 10 (#).—A prece- dent for a possible basis of peaceful settlement of the Italo-Ethiopian dis- | pute was seen today in League of Na- tions circles in the League's past financial and economic assistance to Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria. | The suggestion, growing out of a statement attributed to Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia that he would accept economic help, was made as the League convoked the eighty- eighth session of its Council for Sep- ! tember 4 with the Italio-Ethiopian problem foremost on its agenda. It was remarked in some circles | that the League might appoint a | neutral commissioner as it did in the case of Hungary, when the late Jere- | miah Smith of Cambridge, Mass., was named.

MADRID, August 10 (#).—A move- ment to form an “anti-alcohol league” in Spain to encourage temperance has been begun by two well-known psy- chiatrists.

While this trend for modification of the legislation was prevailing in yesterday’s sessions of the committee, it was understood that Senator La Follette, Progressive, of Wisconsin, and one or two other members of the so-called liberal group still were in- sistent on a broader tax program. Failure to carry their point in the committee deliberations undoubtedly will mean that they will offer such | amendments on the floor when the| bill reaches that stage. | The committee was continuing its executive sessions today.

By the Associated Press. | HOLLYWOOD, Calif., August 10.— Stephen Simkhovitch, 34, has agreed | to become a human icicle for science under a contract entered into here | with Dr. Ralphs Willard, the monkey freezing chemist. Simkhovitch, powerfully built scenarist, was chosen for this unique | experiment from among 180 persons | Dr. Willard said had offered them- | selves in the interests of medical sci- | ence. | The chemist said the experiment will begin as soon as a refrigerator suitable to contain the human sub- ject can be built. Law May Call Halt. Informed of the matter, Dr. George Parrish, city health officer, declared | r. Willard was “entering a danger- | ous field.” “The law in most States is so drastic that a person attempting suicide ana failing, is immediately prosecuted. 1 am sure the law would not permit Dr. Willard to carry his human guinea pig idea any further than the ex- ploitation stage.” Attorneys who drew the contract added that if circumstances arise to prevent making the experiment in the United States it will be carried out in Mexico or any other country where no interference is offered. Monkey Revived. Dr. Willard, who said he has frozen solid and later revived small animals over a period of six years in | seeking aid for tuberculosis sufferers, announced he had brought one Rhesus monkey, named Jekal, from a frozen state last Monday without ap- parent ill effects. A second monkey died and a third, Dr. willard said, still is [rozen, but is to be revived next weex. “I ask only a quit claim,” Simkho- vitch insisted today. “In event I die I want it so no claim possibly can be made against Dr. Willerd.” . The young scientist insisted he would ‘not proceed with the experi- ment without the presence of at least six medical doctors to make exhaustive physical examinations of Simkhovitch and watch the entire proceeding. Wants to Aid Humanity. Simkhovitch, who said he was the son of a professor of economic history at Columbia University, and of Mrs. Mary K. Simkhovitch, a student of sociology in New York, declared he was prompted only by a desire to “do something for humanity for a change.” “I wish also to know something about tMe soul and its relation to the human body,” he said. *“I wish to know what happens when a person dies and I want to be able to come back and tell of those happenings. “Life itself is unimportant where such vital‘matters as these are con- cerned. Some one must make these experiments some time. Why shouldn’t 1 be the one to do it?” (Wirephoto on Pua‘l-).) .

NEW YORK, August 10.—President Roosevelt's order of “no work, no re- lief money” for New York's striking Works Progress Administration em- | ployes today tossed the city's relief administration into a snarl of con- | fusion. The three-sided partnership of Fed- | eral, State and city relief funds led New York relief administrators into a maze of considerations. Their hur- ried analysis of the implications of the President’s ban brought two immedi- ate complications to the fore: 1. A growing belief that Federal relief funds cannot be separated from State and city funds, thus denying any relief under the President's order, although it applied specifically to Fed- eral moneys. 2. A knowledge that if they can split the three-way knot that ties relief funs, they will be financing a strike against the Federal Govern- ment. Walkout Seems Inevitable. Meanwhile in New York City the walkout of skilled workers employed on various W. P. A. projects scheduled for Monday appeared inevitable. More than 15,000 are reported by union organizers to be ready to walk out Monday, joining the 2,000 already out. Added to the skilled workmen, white- collar relief workers pledged their sup- port for the movement for nigher | wages and sought to consolidate their loosely federated unions into a solid front. Before the President’s order was published officials of the Temporary Emergency Relief Bureau and the Home Relief Bureau had consistently said that strikers would be placed on relief. Funds Are Denied. | Frederick I. Daniels, head of the T. E. R. A, in a letter to Miss Char- lotte Carr of the Home Relief Bureau warned her that August relief funds ,had been appropriated and that no further funds would be forthcoming. The home relief funds are supplied in a ratio of approximately $8 by the T. E. R. A to $3 by the city. Of the portion furnished by the T. E. | R. A. 60 per cent is Federal money. At the relief bureau it was said that there was no means of separating the various funds. | That the unions were depending | on home relief money to finance the | strike was indicated by George Meany, president of the State Fed- eration of Labor, which recommended | the_strike. | “I have been assured by Miss Carr.” he said, “that whether or not a man is on strike will have nothing to do with his home relief status.” Work to Be Continued.
