The power industry last night chal- lenged President Roosevelt to make a 1936 campaign issue of the utilities bill and holding company abolition. “We'd welcome it,” said Phillp H. Gadsden, who, as chairman of the Committee of Public Utility Executives, directed the recent intensive campaign against such legislation. Companies represented by his or- ganization, he told newsmen, have 5,000,000 stockholders and “each one has two or more votes in his house That, he added, “would give us some 10,000,000 votes on that issue alone.” Gadsden, asserting his organization | came to Washington prepared to spend whatever amount might be needed to defeat the utilities legisla- tion by legal methods, said the first undertaking was tabulation of 2,000, 000 stockholders by congressional dis- tricts.

BERLIN, August 10—A hint that the “house-cleaning” Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels promised a week ago may start soon against Jewish business was given today by the flery propa- ganda minister’s m'outhptece. Der An- griff. . The newspaper editorially lashed Jewish firms it accused of “parading as Aryans.” “What is Jewish is not to be represented as Aryan,” was the slogan it suggested in “beginning the attack.” Reports of religious strife in the provinces continued. Foreign correspondents were told no seats were available for the speech here next Thursday of Julius Streicher, leading Nazi “Jew-baiter.” He will speak in the huge sports- | palast, which accommodates 16,000. | Foreign newspaper men who asked for tickets were told only standing room |was left and it was hinted that even it seats were available, they would not be given to the correspondents. False Facts Denounced. Discussing cases of Jews disguising themselves as Aryans, Der Angriff said “national socialism cannot tolerate that true facts should be withheld from the people by swindle and & celt. * * * Even the most astute attempts at disguising, under the cov- er of foreign influence, is bound to be laid bare some time. For this course the co-operation of all citizens fis necessary. Of them we are sure we will do our part in uncovering typical cases.” The newspaper did not specify whether this means an intensificatiqn of the anti-Jewish boycott and fur- ther scrutiny of Berlin’s large depart- ment stores, or a clear-cut segregation of Jewish stores for Jews. ol Above: Curious spectators sur- rounding two telescoped traction cars near Springfield, Ohio, yester- day after the crash which cost five lives and injured 20 persons, scv= eral critically.

LONDON, August 10.—Ethiopia plans to throw an army of 600,000 men into the fleld if war comes with Italy, said a report today from Addis Ababa. A Reuter's (British) news agency dispatch asserted Emperor Haile Selas- sie has already armed 250,000 men. Diplomatic circles here placed the odds for war at 5 to 1, a significant indication of the gravity with which the situation is viewed. Arms Inventory Made. The Reuter's report gave this esti- mated inventory of Ethiopia’s war sup- plies: Rifles, between 300,000 and 1,- 000,000; cannon, (some of them made in 1860), 200; machine guns, 350 to 400, and about the same number of automatic rifles; airplanes, eight, six of them in flying conditjon. British ministers completed today the program Anthony Eden, minister for League of Nations affairs, will follow next week at the conference in Paris on the Ethiopian dispute with France and Italy. He is to let Premier Pierre Laval of France take the lead in discussions, because of the present strained relations between London and Rome. Geneva Hopeful. Unofficially, the conference was viewed with extreme pessimism. At Geneva, however, hope was ex- pressed in League circles for a possible peaceful settlement of the problem if Ethiopia would accept economic as- sistance from the League. Italy, it was said, might be appointed to carry out this economic development. Such aid has been given in the past to Aus- tria, Hungary and Bulgaria, Arms Orders Placed.

BRITONS INSPECT FORTS| Chain Facing Reich | Being Studied. NANCY, France, August 10 (#).—A British military mission has been making a secret inspection tour of France’s chain of fortifications fac- ing Germany, it was disclosed tonight. Maj. Gen. Gustave Gamelin, inspec- tor general of the French army, is acting as guide during the visit, which began two days ago at the Swiss bor- der. It was described as one of the periodical inspections made in recent years. ‘The visitors are covering the entire line of forts from Switzerland to Bel- gium. French Business (Continued Prom First Page.) business survey and was based on Teports from 33 cities. “While these reports express opti- mism in many segments of trade and | industry as to the immediate future, | they do not indicate how far the up- swing may carry beyond the seasonal bounds,” the survey said. “Present expectations are based on a back- ground of continually mounting retail business, unmistakable improvement in the heavy industries and an up- ward trend in most wholesale mar- kets.” Lull in Steel Forecast. Pittsburgh forecast a “brief lull in the rising tendencies” in steel pro- duction, but added that “a long, sub- stantial upturn” may be expected by September. Cleveland reported an expected increase in employment. Both New York and Chicago ac- counted for more brisk wholesale markets, with big gains in purchases of Fall merchandise. Atlanta, on the other hand, reported a drop below last year, but a bright outlook in view of crop conditions. Los Angeles, Baltimore, Philadel- phia and Cincinnati each anticipated “a substantial trade upturn” based upon prospects of their wholesale and retail trade as compared to the same period a year ago. The sfock market closed its short Saturday session with 419 advances in the day's trading as against 148 minor declines. Gains ranged from a few cents to a dollar or more a share. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks was up 0.4 to 48.6, a new high for 1935. The composite of 30 in- dustrial stocks, at 65.4, was at its highest since 1931. Brokerage analysists advanced vari- ous reasons for the recent strong un- dertone in securities, but the majority were of the opinion that the growing huge volume of idle funds in the coun- try seeking employment, together with the belief that business and industry are on the upgrade and will continue 80 during the Fall and Winter, have been the principal market motivating influences. The opinion was also expressed that “Each group that spent money is | accounting for it in questionnaires sent out by the Black committee.

State health commissioner; declared the situation in the State was improv- ing and the Pennsylvania order was unwarranted. e sought to communi- cate with Gov. Peery, who was en route to his home in Tazewell for the week end. Dr. Riggin hoped tc have him protest to the Governor of Penn- sylvania. ‘The ban on the District troops came late yesterday, several hours after a similar order had been issued from Harrisburg against Virginia military units. It came to Dr. Rhuland in a telegram from Dr. Edith McBride- Dexter, Pennsylvania secretary of health. The message said: “For the protection of the health of the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I prohibit the en- trance of D. C. troops into Pennsyl- vania for maneuvers at Mount Gretna due to excessive prevalence of poli- omyelitis in Washington.” Jamboree Canceled Earlier. The action followed by a few days the cancellation of the Boy Scout Jam- boree, which had been scheduled for the last 10 days of the month. Presi- dent Roosevelt ordered it called off because of two epidemic centers in Virginia within 100 miles of Wash- ington. The order was issued Thursday eve- ing after the President had conferred with Dr. Hugh 8. Cumming, surgeon general of the United States Public Health Service, and health authorities of the District, Virginia and other sea- board States. Dr. Ruhland represented the Dis- trict in those conferences. Comment- ing on the Pennsylvania development last night, he said: “I feek in all fairness to all I should advise that there is no epidemic in the District of Columbia, nor is there any cause for alarm. There is noth- ing in the ,:esent situation that war- rants any alarm. There has been un- fortunate misunderstanding and dis- torted reports as to the prevalence of the disease in the District. Doubts Ban Is Binding. “I fail to see how troops under mili- tary discipline would prove a menace to the people of Pennsylvania. There is a question in my mind as to whether the ban placed on troop movements into Pennsylvania would be binding on District authorities. “We can't stop the coming and go- ing of people, and I see no excuse to seek to interfere under present con- ditions.” Dr. Ruhland pointed out that there are now only 11 cases of infantile paralysis under treatment in the Dis- trict. Since vanuary 1 there have been 25 cases reported here, 6 of these being brought in from Virginia or Maryland for treatment. Two new cases were reported yesterday. Most of the year’s total were reported since July 1. Out of the 25 cases there there has been an increase in invest- ment buying and less speculative mar- gin trading in recent weeks. Many stacks, it was said, were bought out- right for cash and put away. . have/been 5 deaths. The situation here is not regarded as abnormal. Col. John W. Oehmann, command- trict National Guard, was in New York last night and was expected to return to Washington today. Until he arrives, National Guard officials declared, no action will be taken to change the original plans to join the maneuvers on August 17. Approxi- mately 634 troops are affected by the order, comprising the 121st Engineers, special troops and a headquarters de- tschment. Adjutant General Silent. Lieut. Col. G. L. Byroade, adjutant general of the District National Guard, who returned to the city yes- terday from Kansas, declined to com- ment. Meanwhile, at Richmond, Dr. Rig- gin declared emphatically that there is an apparent decrease of the disease in Virginia and asserted there is no State-wide epidemic at the present time. He pointed to & decrease in cases reported PFriday and yesterday and said this was to be regarded as “encouraging.” Virginia’s total number of polio- myelitis cases reported to the State Health Department since July 1 was 367. Dr. Riggin pointed out that sec- tions of the State where cases were reported first in the current out- break have not reported for the past 10 days or two weeks. Maneuvers to Be Held. It was reported from 3d Corps Area headquarters at Baltimore that the maneuvers will be held even if tre Virginia and District Guardsmen are finally banned from Mbnnsylvania. Regular- Army details have been ar- riving in the concentration arca at Indiantown Gap for about & week. The 1st Field Artillery was scheduled to arrive there last night. Some 17,000 men from Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and the District, making up the 3d Corps Area, were to converge on the Pennsylvania arce by next week. Meanwhile, the quarantine of a C. C. C. camp near Cumberland, Md., was made known yesterday by health officials because of a suspect2d case of infantile paralysis. One member, Filbert Roccisano, 26, of Baltimore is in Cumberland Memorial Hospital and his 200 fellow enrollees are con- fined to their quarters.

And if not— “Well, if I don't come back, I'll at least have contributed something to the sum of human knowledge—and that’s more than I can say for myself so far.” Simkhovitch, husky Hollywood writer, has offered to become a “hu- man icicle.” Several days ago he walked into the dingy, cluttered little laboratory where Dr. Ralpl. Willard, a Russian scientist, has been performing experi- ments in freezing guinea pigs, and more recently, monkeys. Dr. Willard said he was working out a theory that certain malignant growths and dan- gerous germs can be killed by freez- ing. Monkey “Dead” Three Days. Willard said he recently revived a monkey that had been rendered un- conscious with ether, then placed in an electric refrigerator for three days, during which it lay dead physically, a grayish brown mass of frozen matter. The handsome young scientist be- | lieves that by his process human be- ings can be put on “cold storage,” so to speak, and then thawed out and revived long afterward—years, per- haps. After injections to prevent coagula- tion of the blood, the subject is as- sertedly killed by an overdose of ether and then frozen. Willard hopes a subject can be kepi in the frigid state for any period and then resuscitated by thawing and starting the heart ac- tion. Since the report of tne monkey ex- periment, the scientist said, more than | 300 persons have offered their lives to the same test. “About half of them were afflicted with incurable diseases,” he said. “They were willing to risk permanent | death for the chance of relief.
