As zero hour in East Africa ap- proaches, the case of jitters world diplomats gre suffering from is get- ting worse. Few really care about| what is going to happen to the black warriors of Halle Selassie. Their chief concern is what is going to happen to Europe. | Those conversant with the Geneva | methods are wagering that it won't| !be long before the Ethiopians will| be found to be the aggressors and | Selassie will ultimately be deprived of the League's help because he started the fight. This may seem cynical—it probably is; but it appears from the point of view of the Geneva diplomats the only | solution to avoid or delay a world conflagration. * ok x % Great Britain, France and the other nations, members of the League, real- ize that they canmot stop Mussolini. I1 Duce, in his recent conversations with Sir Eric Drumond, the British Ambassador in Rome, and Count | Charles de Chambrun, the representa- tive of France, has assured Great Geasy, | | Britain and France that he iatends | | to remain on cordial terms with both countries and will not overlook the | important British interests on the | Ethiopian-Sudanese border. All he | asks in exchange is to be left alove. Italy’s New Map. ‘The cartographic department of the Italian colonial office has published & new map of East Africa which reached | the Navy Department in Washington a few days lines between the , Eritrea and peared altogether. led the Itallan East from the Red Sea to Lake Tsana. Thus by removing a few dotted lines, Selassie’s empire has already been incorporated into the Italian kingdom, and the Tsana Lake given to Great Britain. * x x ¥ This has a significant political importance, especially for the League of Nations. There is mo doubt that since Great Britain and France have become convinced that neither the threats of sanctions nor the concentration of the British fleet in the Mediterranean can stop Mussolini from attacking Ethiopig both these nations are looking for an “elegant” solution to get out from under. After the solemn speeches at Geneva, it would look almost ridicu- lous for these nations not to appear to stick by their guns and allow the aggressor nation to go unpunished. In this sanctions ballyhoo it is im- | portant that the aggressor shall be determined by the League and for the time being the Italians have not been | found' guilty of any aggressive action. The Map a Factor. But should Selassie’s warriors, who are not disciplined troops, take a shot at some Italian outposts, Mussolini can claim that Italy has been at- | tacked. The fact that nobody knows at pres- | ent any longer—or does not want to know—where the Italian border ends and the Ethiopian boundary begins will facilitate the League’'s task of finding the, Ethiopians the aggressors. Selassie’s men have been concen- trated on the borders for many weeks. They don't know anything about the new Italian map but know what be- longs to them. The presence of the Fascist legions has the same effect on the dusky mountaineers as & waving red rag before a bull. And if Selas- sie’s men jump on some Italian out- post and spear a few Fascists, Mus- solini can, with an easy conscience, claim that Italy has been provoked and has acted in self-defense by launching his divisions against Ethio- ia. . * K ok % Selassie knows this only too well, and has issued orders to the com- manders of his warriors to avoid any hostile act at any price. The troops facing the Italians have been warned that any desire of the warriors to bring home a couple of Fascists heads would be punished with death. But death means mighty little to the Abyssinians, and it will be e dificult task for the rases to hold back their men, especially if they find Italian patrols prowling on their territory. It is reliably said that Mussolini’s : | agents are dickering now with some rtribe chiefs to get them on Italy’s gide. It seems quite possible that, in order to furnish the League with an excuse to exonerate tlaly, these chiefs should be induced to undertake an “hostile act” against Mussolini’s co- horts. All this sounds very machia- vellic, but it fits into the picture of European politics. Six Months of Cheese. The threat of economic sanctions against Italy has caused a noticeable increase in the import of the famous estimates and samples.

London clubs and restaurants are no longer worried about economic sanctions; they have an hand a sup- ply of gorgonzola which will last them for at least six months, * ¥ X % In recent weeks, Selassie has been purchasing large quantities of rifles, machine guns and ammunition in the United States. Some are paid for in cash, others are obtained on credit. They are leaving American ports mostly in Swedish tramps and are consigned to South African ports. American port authorities believe, however, that these tramps don’t go as far as Capetown or Durban, but are unloading their wares at some other points closer to Ethiopia, whence they are sent by caravans to Addis Ababa. VENEZUELAN BORDER FORCE IS ARMING |Gen. Juan Vincente Gomez Is Rumored Critically Ill and Revolt Feared. By the Associated Press. GEORGETOWN, British Guiana, October 2.—Reports the Venezuelan frontier force at the Moruca River has been doubled reached here yes- | | terday on the heels of persistent ru-| mors that Gen. Juan Vincente Gomez, Venezuela's strong-armed dictator for more than 26 years, lay on his death- bed at Caracas. Despite denials the rumors of Vin- cente Gomez' illness continued and there were reports of arms smuggling | into the country from the border town | | of Morawhanna, British Guiana. Some | persons thought belligerent leutenants of the 76-vear-old President were awaiting only his death to start a civil upheaval. Pious peasants were said to be praying, “Gomez que dios guarde (God | guard Gomez). The aged leader for years ruled his nation from an old rocking chair beneath a giant rubber tree, acting swiftly and frequently to crush re- | bellion. Whether any of his lieuten- ants could fill the rocking chair throne | was an open question. —_— CHAIN STORES CASE GOES TO JURY SOON Argument on Motion for Bill of Particulars to Be Made by A. & P.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. ‘The State Department is keeping President Roosevelt fully informed of latest developments in East Africa by frequent telephonic and telegraphic reports. The President is following the sit- uation with keen interest because as soon as it is ascertained that hostili- ties between Italy and Ethiopia have begun he is expected to issue a proc- lamation establishing an embargo on the export of arms, ammunition and implements of war to both belligerents in accordance with the terms of the neutrality act. Lists Not Identical. In official quarters it was indicated the list of war materials published a few days ago by the State Department is by no means the list which will come under consideration when the embargo is declared. The former, issued in accordance with section 2 of the neutrality act, contains only a restricted number of actual war articles, which, under the provision of the neutrality act, makes it compulsory for those who manufac- ture them to register with the State Department and obtain licenses if they want to export them. But section 1 of the neutrality act provides that “the President, by proc- lamation, shall definitely enumerate the arms, ammunition or implements of war the export of which is pro- hibited by this act.” VIRGINIA COAL STRIKE IS BROUGHT TO CLOSE Pay Raise Based on Ap- palachian Pact By the Associated Press. NORTON, Va, Ociober 2.—An agreement was signed here late yes- terday between Virginia coal operators and representatives of the United Mine Workers, ending the strike in Virginia coal fields in effect since September 16. Announcement of the signing of the agreement was made by C. B. Neel, secretary of the Virginia Coal Opera- tors’ Association. Joy reigned in the Virginia fields as news of the agreement, binding until April 1, 1937, spread. } All miners were at liberty to return to work today, but operators indicated that it probably would be tomorrow before production could be resumed. The announcement said miners will recejve an advance in pay as a result of the pact, 50 cents to day men and 9 cents per ton to miners, distributed between machine men and loaders. ‘The increased cost of production was | figured as ranging from 18 to 22 cents | | per ton. t The Virginia agreement is based on the Appalachian agreement reached | in Washington last week, providing for | $5.10 as the basic day rate, compared | to $4.60 in the old contract, and $5.50 | new basic rate for the Pennsylvania field, thus maintaining the 40-cent differential.

Both Teams B a Staft Correspondent of The Star. | DETROIT, Mich., October 2.—With 50,000 uproarious fans filling anti- quated Navin Field, the Tigers of De- troit and the Cubs of Chicago squared off today for the opener of base ball's thirty-first series for the world cham- pionship. Under semi-cloudy skies, Schoolboy Rowe of the Tigers, champions of the American League, and Lonnie War- neke, ace of the National League win- ners, took the warm-up slab prepara- tory to opening a series which, critics | almost unanimously predict, will go at | least half a dozen games. The Tigers were slight favorites at game time. Both Warneke and Rowe are right- handers and noted for their fast balls. The Chicago pitching ace compiled a record of 20 victories as against 13 de- feats during the National League sea- son, while Rowe’s record for the season | is 19 triumphs and 13 defeats. Detroit in Turmoil. ‘The opening of the thirty-first dia- mond classic finds Detroit in a state of near-hysteria as Mickey Cochrane's Tigers pursue the motor city'’s base ball will-o’-the-wisp—a world cham- plonship. Today marks the fifth time in which a Detroit team has entered & world series as a representative of the American League, but the Tigers have yet to win. Twice they were checked by the Cubs. When the Tigers won their first American League pennant in 1907 they were beaten in the series by the Cubs. The following year it was the same story. In the two previous Detroit-Chicago series a total of 10 games were played, with the Cubs winning 8 to 1 victory for the Bengals and 1 tie. In 1909 another Detroit team rep- resented the American League against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but the Tigers again went down to defeat, this time in a seven-game classic. Last year, as a surprise club, the Tigers triumphed | again, but lost the world series to | the St. Louis Cardinals after seven bitterly fought games. Ticket Scalpers Active. Excitement in the motor city has | been at fever pitch for the last two days, with ticket scalpers palming off reserved seat ducats at prices rang- | ing from $10 to $35. As game time drew near it was reported there was | a “break” in scalping, but indications were that every seat in the park would | be filled. | The line of hardy bleacherites, who | | have been waiting outside of the gates | for several days, was increased last | night when thousands of fans, bun- | dled in overcoats and blankets, took | up the vigil. They were rewarded when the gates opened at 9 am. A couple of hours before the game started the new bjeachers in left and | center flelds were filled with 19,500 | fans. The right field bleachers also | | were filled early. The construction of the new blnch- ers in left field furnished one of the chief topics of pre-game speculations. | The 30-foot screen protecting the bleacherites is only 301 feet from home plate, making a home run compara- tively easy to hit.

The Tig- ers, on the other hand, have four left- handed batters in Manager Mickey Cochran, Charley Gehringer, Goose Goslin and Jo Jo White. One regular on each team, Augie Galan of the Cubs and Bill Rogell of the Tigers, is & switch hitter. Detroit's chief hopes for victory centered around Rowe und Greenberg. If Rowe is able to turn back the Cubs today the Tigers’ chances of finally winning a world title will zoom high. Greenberg, for whom the shortened | left-field screen would seem to be made to order, had been in a heart- breaking batting slump during the last couple of weeks cf the season, when the Tigers played under .500 In his last 15 times at bat | in the American League season, Greenberg went hitless and the Ben- gals lost six of their last seven games. ‘The ability of the Cubs’ youngsters‘ —Cavarretta, Galan and Hack—to withstand the pressure of world series competition furnished favorite pre- game topic. Cavarretta, a 19-year- old Chicago sandlot graduate, is only two years out of high scnool and play- ing his first year in the majors. Galan | is & former infielder who has been a | sensation as an outfielder in his first | year of big league ball. In batting practice both teams poured “home runs” into the left-field bleachers, delighting the tired-eyed but happy fans, who scrambled for the | prizes. It has been decided to permit | the ball to remain in play if it caroms | off the screen. If a ball should stick to two bases. It will be a home run, of course, if it goes over.

SUMUNDERW.P.A. 954 Miliion Allotted by Pres- ident to Entire Coun- try to Date. The District has shared to the ex- tent of $4,048,108 in a total of $954,« 916,805 in works-relief funds allo- cated to date by President Roosevelt for approved projects under the Works Progress Administration. Indicating the slowness with which money is being turned over to the States, W. P. A. officials admitted to- day, however, that of the total amount approved by the President as of Octo- ber 1, only $573,210981 has been countersigried by Controller General McCarl. That represents the sum actually turned over in cash. Out of a total of $7,113,245891 in applications for W. P. A. projects sub- mitted by all the States, the President has approved projects totaling $1,907,- 632,459, or more than double the amount actually allocated. Since Ad- ministrator Harry L. Hopkins has only $1,700,000,000 at his disposal for W. P. A, jobs, the amount of money released by the controller general | represents only about one-third of his goal for spending. The $4,048,108 in funds allocated to the District Works Progress Admin=~ istration under Commissioner George E. Allen is only about one-third of the total amount he has requested from W, P. A. funds to put some 12,000 persons | to work on security wages. The amount actually countersigned by McCarl for | the District was not revealed today.
