TALYHTS KEERNG ISSEHBLY INTACT Aloisi - Holds Adjournment Violates League’s Constitution. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, September 27.—Baron Pompeo Aloisi, spokesman of the Ital- an delegation to the League of Na- tions, today protested the League's plan merely to adjourn the Assembly, instead of closing it. He made his protest at a meeting of the Assembly's Steering Committee. League officials announced that de- spite the protest the committee voted to recommend that the Assembly un- dertake a simple adjournment—mean- 1ng that it can be called together again at a moment’s notice. ‘The League Council, meeting as a committee of the whole, adopted in | principle the request by Emperor Haile Selassie for the dispatch of neu- tral League observers to the Italo- Ethiopian trouble zone. Constitution Held Violated. In his appearance before the Assem- bly Steering Committee, the Italian delegate was said to have contended that simple adjournment would be a violation of the League’s Constitution. Aloisi said the Assembly was not of- ficially engaged with the Italo-Ethio- pian dispute, although he admitted, according to officials, that the recent full Assembly discussion of the mat- ter was proper since the dispute was mentioned in the report of the secre- | tary general. He pointed out that this discussion, however, had been con- cluded. The Italian declared that keeping the Assembly on call would be tanta- mount to putting pressure upon the Council in its handling of the con- flict. The Council Committee decided t» cable the Ethiopian monarch and ask him what form he would like this commission of observers to take. It had been suggested unofficially that they go as an air patrol—‘the eyes of the League covenant'—to wuwh{ over Ethiopia’s boundaries. ‘The provisional text of the message to the Emperor took note of his action in withdrawing troops 30 kilometers “behind the frontier and voiced appre- ciation of the spirit inspiring this measure. s Objections to Plan Seen. Some members of the “Committee | of 13" foresaw material objections to | the plan of sending neutral observers to the scene, but the idea was gen- erally accepted in principle for fur- ther study. A subcommittee of ex- perts to make a technical examina- tion of the problem was constituted. The Council Committee elected Sai- vador de Madariega of Spain as chair- man. It was De Madariaga who headed the Committee of Five which | recently failed in their effort to formu- | late a peace plan acceptable to Italy. ! The Assembly of the League also met today, accepting the resignation of Frank B. Kellogg, former United States Secretary of State, from the ‘World Court. | New Procedure Suggested. ! ‘The Council members had under | consideration the possibility of end- ing even the “threat of war.” British delegates said that more important than the Council’s decision yesurdly’ to proceed under Article XV of the! League Covenant—leading to sane- tions should an African war develop— was Anthony Eden’s hint that war threats also could be throitled by sanctions. Persons close to the British minister for League affairs disclosed that he was studying closely Article XI, under which the League could take “any” action deemed necessary to safeguard peace, not only against war, but ageinst “threat of war.” "The League Assembly was convoked again today, but was not scheduled to touch on the Italo-Ethiopian problem. It was expected geuerally to adjourn Saturday, but remain ready for re- sumption in the event of a sudden Italo-Ethiopian development. Ethiopia (Continued From First Page.) footing before the League or before the world. The disparity between the two na- tions, these sources said, was brought out in the Italian memorandum pre- sented to the League by Baron Pom- peo Aloisi, I1 Duce’s chief representa- tive at Geneva. ‘They said it was proved further by the report of the Council's Concilia- tion Committee of Five, which decided Ethiopia should be subjected to Euro- pean tutelage. 450 Specialists Leave. In the Italian viewpoint, these things should prove to the League that Italy has a perfect right in insisting that her activities concerning Ethio- pia must be restricted to colonial oper- ations and should not be allowed to become a problem of European im- portance. The steamer Rosandra left Messina, Sicily, today with 450 specialists for service in Italy’s East African colonies. The steamer Sannio prepared to sail later in the day with 2,100 troops and officers, and three other ships were ready to depart almost immediately with additional troops and cargo.

C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1935. KING SETS NEW DISTANCE MARK D. C. Flyer Makes 240 Miles on 8 Gallons of Gas in Light Seaplane. Flying 240 miles on 8 gallons of gasoline in a single-place seaplane, Ben King, Washington sportsman pilot, yesterday established a na- tional and world distance mark for seaplanes weighing less than 552 pounds. King’s flight, from the Naval Air Station to Croton, N. Y., on the Hud- son River, was the frst distance flight ever attempted in a light sea- plane of the fourth category, and Nae tional Aeronautic Association officials said it will stand as a record. The flight, is to be checked for exact dis- tance on the N. A.

The others are: 185.4 miles in & two-seated seaplane carrying 499 pounds, 221.3 miles for a single-place seaplane carrying 1,256 pounds, and 185.4 miles for a two-place seaplane carrying 771 pounds. He also holds the altitude record, set Tuesday, of 16,000 feet for a seaplane weighing less than 552 pounds. Although the exact altitude has not yet been calibrated from the barograph, King has little doubt the old record of 11,355 feet was broken by a few thousand feet. King took off on his flight yester- day about 11:10 am. and landed at Croton at 1:55 pm. He was to fly back here today.

NEW FALL SUITS 21 made as to the conversations at the foreign office, it was said that Ather- ton advised the British that the United States was prepared to proceed with serious discussions on naval lim- itation at any time. . The recent serious turn in the Italo-Ethiopian crisis, with growing indications that British officials be- lieve Great Britain must bolster her naval power, has rendered British commitment to naval limitation most difficult at this juncture, said in- formed sources. Building Program Reported. An authoritative source today stated the belief that Great Britain soon will launch a new naval construction pro- gram, kept secretly within the limita- tions of the Washington treaty of 1922, however. Another authority stated it was most unlikely that the cabinet had discussed naval increases at its re- cent meeting, although there was n guarantee that Parliament would noi consider the matter when it recon- venes late in October. Some newspapers said a note this week end would inform the United States Government and other signa- hfluu 'i.:e :I:Q W;llhln"onm naval limita- ons y of reported program for naval construction. ‘They said it was understood empire responsibilities and foreign commit- ments would be given as reasons for the action, which the Daily Express said was equivalent to denunciation of the Washington and London naval limitations treaties. The Daily Mail said British cabinet ministers decided that in view of the naval rearmament programs of other powers, Britain could not fulfill its imperial responsibilities properly un- less the navy was Frought up to date without delay. A suggestion that a national defense loan should be launched to meet the cost of a naval bullding program and further expansion of the air force, as well as modernization of the army, was reported in some British quarters to be finding favor gradually among the cabinet ministers. A final decision on this matter, they said, may be taken within a few weeks. A suggestion that the program would cost nearly £200,000,000 (about $1,- 000,000,000) and would involve build- ing of six battleships, 36 cruisers, 100 destroyers and 30 submarines appeared in one newspaper. No authority for the statement was given. INJURIES PREVENT TRIP BY M’ADOO Senator Requires Hospital Treat- ment After Nose Is Broken in Crash. By the Assoctated Press.
