ETHIOPIAN STRIFE HELD BEYOND WAR World Opinion Considers It Massacre—Crimes of Dictatorship Seen. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. What shall the hostilities in Ethi- opia be called? The United States Government hesitates to call it a “war” because then a proclamation of neutrality must be issued. And the Roosevelt administration would prefer to wait until some other countries, preferably FEuropean, should "proclaim the ex- istence of a state of war. There is, to be sure, a feeling here that even a proclamation of neutrality, before other nations do it, might be viewed in Italy as an unfriendly gesture. But there are reasons why people| outside of the governments of the world will hesitate to call the tragedy in Ethiopia a “war.” When one con- testant is helpless against bombing airplanes and machine guns, the sporting spirit and sense of fairness of the observing public in every coun- try will be inclined to think of the Italian bombardments and advances as nothing more or less than a mas- sacre. It was Lloyd George who stood be- fore the assembled peace representa- tives of Europe and the United States at Paris in 1919 and called war by a term that may be revived if events in Ethiopia continu as the press dis-| patches of the last 48 hours have in- | dicated—he termed it “‘organized mur- | der” and “organized savagery.” Italian Press One-sided. The Italian people are, of course, un- able to decide the merits of the ques- tions for themselves. The press of Italy is one-sided. It is controlled by the government and there is no right to publish adverse comment or criti- cism. Undoubtedly the Italian people have been fed government propaganda, and even if the better informed groups do know that the plunging of the country into war may alienate the ®ood opinion of mankind, what could they possibly do about it? Premier Mussolini controls opinion and is the absolute monarch of the nation. He stimulates war enthusi- asm at will. The decision by one man instead of by a parliamentary body | starts war again. In 1914, world opin- ion denounced the Kaiser as a mili- tary autocrat. Will Mussolini be so regarded when the League of Nations issues its report officially declaring Italy the aggressor? The dangers of a dictatorship to a people once free have never been bet- | ter illustrated than in Italy today. Suppression of criticism, suppression of all political parties except one in the control of the dictator himself, punishment for all who may write or speak in opposition to the head of the government—this is the kind of gov- ernment that makes it possible for one man to plunge an innocent people into war. Moral Influence Lost. Little is known about the true feel- ings of the Italian people. They are patriotic and would, when aroused, naturally support their flag and their government. But the world knows lit- tle about the inner spirit of the xm-‘ ans themselves with respect to the| waging of a war on a virtually de- fenseless people. The League of Na- tions has dealt with Mussolini because | he is the head of the government, but long ago, when he established a censorship on the press and free speech, the League lost its opportu- nity for moral force to be made artic- ulate or effective. It is possible, of course. that the Ethiopian expedition may turn out to be Mussolini’s undoing. The econom- ic boycott that is coming will impair Italy's credit position throughout the world.

ARMEL, Calif., October 5.— The sub-rosa capital of Com- munism is Carmel. Non- shaving soap-boxers around Union Square, New York, may think they are the brain trusters of the Red movement, but they do not accom- plish much more than getting their heads thumped by police billies every May day. The Red thinkers out here are smoothies, both as to chin and intent. They are intellectuals, top-notch writers of 1dng practical propaganda experience, and Socialites, smarter than the Eastern variety. They are too smart to get caught. Most of them are not even members of the Communfist party. Red boll weevils out in+the field boring from within trade unionism, however, drop in here and get ad- vice. They know to whom to go. A couple of Justice Department agents also know, but it does not do them any good. No laws are being violated. There is not much they can do.

LOCKWOOD DIES; WAS “LAST MAN" {Minnesota Veteran of 60's Toasted Dead Comrades in Ceremony. | By the Associated Press. MINNEAPOLIS, October 5—The Last Man's Club of Company B, 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry, was only a Civil War-time memory today. Capt. Charles M. Lockwood of Chamberlain, S.

Within a short time the rest of the country will hear about the hot- test Red extermination campaign this country has ever seen. It will not be at the polls. Electorally the Communists amount to little. They have recognized that their objectives are not immediately obtainable at the ballot box. Con- sequently the methods to be used against them are likely to be as undemocratic as their own. An understanding of Communist purposes can be obtained if you can get in to see “the Old Fox” here. The Communists do not call him that, but his adversaries do. The title may not be novel, but it is appropriate. He is a clever and brilliant writer who knows the subtle methods of influencing mass minds of the American kind from experience with more prominent political move- ments. Insiders give him credit for much of the dock strike and the farm strike strategy. He talks cau- tiously, but sometimes jrankly. His opinion is that Communists will have control of California labor front. Many of that company fell at Bull Run and the battle of the Wil- derness, Gettysburg and other san- | guinary battles of the Army of the | Potomac took steady toll of others So only 34 survived to middle age. The fact that the reunion came on the anniversary of Bull Run, coupled with memory of the stirring days of their youth, led some one in the party to propose continued annual reunions until only one man was left, he to COAL FIRM FILES GUFFEY ANSWER Company Steps Aside to Al- low Head to Fight New Measure. By the Associated Press. The Carter Coal Co. of West Vir- ginia stepped aside today to let its president, James W. Carter, and the Government fight out the constitu- tionality of the Guffey .coal control act in District Supreme Court. Answering Carter’s . petition for a permanent injunction to prevent the company from abiding by the “Little N. R. A” of the coal industry and to prevent the Government from col- lecting gross receipts taxes, the com- pany asked only that the court make an “immediate ruling.” The company admitted all facts alleged in Carter's petition and said nothing about legal questions involved. The company said it intends to comply with the act, since noncom- pliance would force it to pay a 15 per cent tax on its gross receipts, which would “result in irreparable and seri- ous damage to the company, and might result in bankruptey.” However, the company asked if it is enjoined from complying with the “little N. R. A.” the Government shall also be enjoined from collecting the tax. Carter, in his request for an in- Jjuncticn, had contended the Guffey act attempted to control intrastate commerce and therefore was uncon- stitutional. |MAN WITH 24: NAMES USES ONLY 2 OF THEM | Grandfather Gave Him Name in Form of Prayer, Texan Declares.

A graduate of Iowa State College, Mr. Heald had been with the Bell ‘Telephone System for 32 years, work- Ing in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Acquittaf (Continued From First Page.) a8 Judge W. C. Hughes read the ‘verdict. Tension in the court room snapped suddenly after the verdict was read. As Judge Hughes left the bench spec- tators surged in front of the bar rail and in a few minutes were mingling with the 10 farmers and 2 rural mer- chants who finally decided the long- delayed case. As the jury signified it was ready to report Judge Hughes turned to the spectators and warned there must be no disturbance. As the verdict was read, however, ‘women lifted their voices and a loud murmur swept the court room. Sev- eral persons rushed for the doors and Judge Hughes, rapping for order, told the sheriff to bring the demonstrators to the bench. In the confusion the instructions were not carried out. Large Crowd Gathers. As Mrs. Meunch left the court house in company with Edgar J. Keating, Kansas City, one of the host of at- torneys who participated in the de- fense, a large crowd formed on the court house square and flanked her on either side. She walked rapidly to- ward a waiting automobile, her head erect, apparently with no regard for the hundreds of curious men and women. - Acquittal of Mrs. Muench was the first rebuff received by the State in prosecuting those charged with ab- ducting the wealthy, socially prom- inent Dr. Kelly on April 20, 1931 +Angelo Rosegrant and Felix Mc- Donald, two of the alleged gang, have eral others. Their voting strength in the last State A. F. of L. Con- vention was about one to three. trol of this phase is their primary objective. Wait for Their Chance. Wisely, the red leaders are letting the second objective slide—the Com- munist national revolution—but they keep themselves pepped up for it by a burning belief that President Roose- velt will fail and then their time will come. It seems that all anti- New Deal factions are waiting in the same hope—Republicans, Epics, ete. The Communists are overrating their chances, as all zealous politi- cians do. They will probably never control the labor movement here or elsewhere. Their success is merely causing the erection of a Fascist brick wall for them to butt their heads into, The ex-brains of the Communist movement on the Pacific Coast was Tom D’Arcy. He went to the last internationale in Europe. During his absence the Justice Department dis- covered he had made an erroneous statement in his sworn application for citizenship papers. That is all they need to handle a Communist, D’Arcy is now under indictment far jalsification. Inner red circles believe he will remain in Europe rather than attempt to lead coast communism from Al Capone’s se- cluded residence, the Federal prison at impenetrable Alcatraz. His active successor, Harry Bridges, head of the longshoremen, is just as smart and D’Arcy probably will not be missed. The reds also have two good men in the Northwest whose names are not nationally known. The Communists could not have picked a stranger place for a capital even by selecting Park avenue. This Monterey coast is the social Newport of the Pacific, only it is more demo- cratic. Moorish castles of the rich perch on cypress cliffs above a ceru- lean sea.

CHICAGO, October 5.—Harold F. | McCormick and Willlam C. Cum- | mings. Chicago industrial leaders, have been threatened with abduction | and blackmail over a period of three | weeks, Police Capt. John Prendergast said today. During that time the police and agents of the Department of Justice | | have made secret efforts repeatedly to | trap the plotters through negotiations | | by telephone and letter from the home of Cummings, president of the Drov- ers' National Bank. Capt. Prendergast said the extor- tionists last night agreed to accept $30.000, but no one appeared at the Cummings home to collect the money. Cummings told the authorities he | had received several unsigned notes, | | reading, “We have been thinking | | about kidnaping you for a long time. ! Pay us $30,000 and you'll be in no danger.

By the Associated Press. CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October 5.— | An outspoken opponent of Massachu- setts’ new teacher’s oath law, Dr. Kirt- bley F. Mather, professor of geology at Harvard University, says he is ready to take the oath if he must do so to keep Harvard out of a legal battle. Dr. Mather’s tentative agreement to swear allegiance to the Federal and State Constitutions as required by the law enacted last Summer was made in & statement several hours after Presi- dent James B. Conant of Harvard said all faculty members must subscribe to | the oath. “If it is indeed true that the act | makes it mandatory for the educa- tional institutions to enforce the meas- | ure, I shall, of course, comply with the law because I do not wish to in- volve Harvard University in a legal battle,” Dr. Mather said. “I had supposed that enforcement o’ the measure, so far as it applies to | teachers in service on October 1, would rest solely in the hands of the State,” he said. “In that case my refusal to take the oath would be a personal issue between me and State officials. I would be glad to carry that issue to the courts. “My future course of action depends therefore on the decision as to whether or not the university is charged with the responsibility of enforcing this particular statute.” Dr. Mather, a captain of Engineers during the World War, said he per- sonally would not object to legislation which would require an oath of al- legiance to the Constitution from every citizen, “preachers, bank cashiers, nursemaids, street car conductors and all—but when this splendid group of patriotic teachers is singled out for treatment as suspicious persons I rebel.” MRS.

Sheriff C. F. Ericksen said he was informed that between 150 and 200 men massed on highway 42 one mile south of Kenosha at 1:30 am. and tossed planks into the path of five trucks bound for Chicago. The first truck, Ericksen said, swerved to the left, striking Slater. The second machine pulled to the right, missing him. The third ran over him as he sat in the road, Erick- sen quoted witnesses as reporting. The trucks did not stop. Ericksen followed the truck train into Illinois and found Willlam Leahy, driver of the first truck, at Lake For- est, a Chicago suburb.
