1., CITZENS SEEN LEAVING ETHOP Seventh-Day Adventists As- sume Women and Chil- dren Will Go. By the Associated Press. Seventh-day Adventist officails said today they assumed the three Ameri- can women and six children attached tostheir mission at Addis Ababa would edinply with instructions to leave the Ethiopian capital shortly. Cornelius H, Van Engert, American | charge d'affaires at Addis Ababa, no- tified the State Department yesterday that he had called for the evacuation. Church officials said the group in- structed to leave probably were Mrs. George C. Bergman; her children, George, jr. 10, and Phyllis, 5, of Los Angeles; Mrs. Tesla C. Nicola and her children, Bruce. 9, and Darrell, 6, of Montebello, Calif, and Mrs. Manuel J. Sorensen and her children, Mar- garet, 7, and Shirley, 5, of Exira, Iowa. Hospital Superintendent. ‘Mrs. Bergman's husband is super- intendent of the Zauditu Memorial Sanitarium and Hospital of 100 beds, a former government institution turned over to the missionaries by Emperor Haile Selassie. Dr. Nicola is his assistant. The Rev. Mr. Sorensen is superintendent of the Ethiopian Union Mission. The Rev. M. E. Kern, secretary of the General Conference Committee in charge of the world work of the Sev- ‘enth Day Adventists, said the question of evacuation had been left to the judgment of the missionaries. Re- | moval of the six children and of the | only three mothers among the 23| adults representing the church l}n Ethiopia had been discussed previ- ously, he said. “Qur men don't want to come out,” said Mr. Kern. “They feel it would be ungrateful to leave at a time like this, when they are needed. “The Emperor, whom we feel is| trying to help his people, has wel- comed modern medical science. He 2and the members of his family have frequently been interested watchers of surgical operations in our hospital.” In Ethiopia 10 Years. The Bergmans have been in Ethi- | opia for 10 years, and Kern said it was probable that their youngest child, Phyllis, was born there. The‘ missionaries’ children, Kern added, | * were taught by their mothers, although they might also be pupils in two native | schools maintained by the church in | Addis Ababa. | Church headquarters have not re- ceived any recent communication from them, but Sorensen wrote in| August that “the time may come when it will be necessary for us to leave, but our intention and desire is to| stay.” Kern said that while the State De- partment could not require the mis- sionaries to leave after it had advised them to do so, the future responsi- bility was theirs, Britain (Continued Pr_oE_E:qgtAPne,)_ defied the League and that he would | leave the League if its action compelled him to do so. 5. » * He expressed a desire to limit his mili- “tary measures to colonial activity in Ethiopis, avolding any extension of the conflict. Mistaken Italian Viewpoint. Sir Samuel Hoare, in his reply, said {hat an unfortunate and gravely mis- taken Italian viewpoint existed con- cerning the British attitude toward the whole Italo-Ethiopian dispute. He told Grandi plainly that since Ttaly had taken military action, me" British government viewed it as in- creasingly difficult to make progress toward settlement of the dispute. Mussolini submitted the viewpoint, - on the other hand, that the British misunderstood the Italian attitude. . T Duce said he did not approve © the stand the British have always taken that Emperor Haile Selassie’s consent must be necessary to my‘ agreement before the British would consent to support it. Authoritative sources said, the mes- sage from Mussolini was most cordial. 5 Tl Duce expressed the view that the * cause for peace would be served and the duration of hostilities shortenec if present tension in the Mediterranean gave way to sincere co-operation in the interests of a stable settlement. Mussolini put forth the belief that the tension would be relaxed and the ends of peace served by simultaneous and parallel cancellation of precau- tionary measures by Britain and Italy, which he said were undertaken to meet an unexisting danger. Not One Ship to Be Withdrawn. ‘The British reply to this sugges- tion, as disclosed by responsible offi- cials, was that not a single ship would be withdrawn from the Mediterranean during the present strain, Charles Corbin, French Ambassador to Great Britain, called on Sir Robert Gilbert Vansittart, permanent under- secretary for foreign affairs, to de- liver the French reply to the British government’s inquiry as to whether the French government agreed that League powers should stand together in the event that one of them was singled out for an isolated attack. The French reply was understood generally to be favorable in character but it was not made public im- mediately and no decision was an- *nounced as to when it would be pub- lished. . Authoritative sources explained that # the British attitude at Geneva was for the speediest possible gearing up of the League peace machinery because of the important time element involved under which Ethiopia suffered from « Italian advances. Quick League Decision Hoped For. With Prime Minister Stanley Bald- win's latest appeal to Italy fresh in .mind, official and unofficial England focused its attention on the League of Nations Council in the hope that the question of war guilt would be de- cided swiftly, paving the way for dis- | cussion of sanctions against the ag- gressor. Some quarters thought there would be no spectacular outcome of today’s “ deliberations in ‘the League Council, and that the crisis might be reached * early next week, when the question of sanctions would follow designation of the aggressor. At the conservative party conven- tion in Bournemouth last night, Sir . Stanley asked Italy “even at this “hour” to refrain from actions which ~would make the League’s task more * difficult.

P. Officials Seek to Destroy U. S. Fundamentals. BY the Associated Press. OAKLAND, Calif., Octoher 5.~Mark L. Requa, California Republican na- tional committeeman, stated flatly here today there are men in Wash- ington “in high official positions who | have deliberately set out” to destroy | the fundamentals of American Gov- ernment. In a breakfast speech to delegates from 11 Western States attending a “grass roots” convention of his party, Requa declared that unless halted, President Roosevelt's policies will “come dangerously near the destruc- tion not only of our fiscal system but also of the fundamentals on which the Government was founded.” He asserted there were “without question” men in Washington “in high official positions who have deliberately set out to accomplish this destruc- tion.” “Whether those men are mo#ivated by sincere and honest convictions, or whether selfish and sinister motives animate their activities, is a matter that each of us must decide for him- self,” Requa continued. Requa’s address came at the be- ginning of a day of conferences to be climaxed at nightfall by the first strictly political speech fo be made by former President Herbert Hoover since leaving the White House. Observations of Requa followed the declaration in last nignt's address of welcome by Edward M.

Cooking Means Economical Cooking In electric cookery all the heat is confined to the cooking opera- tion. None is wasted. The oven operates approximately 60% of the time on stored heat—a great saving in fuel cost—and you actually save 114 pounds out of every six pounds of meat, for food shrinkage during cooking is substantially reduced. Home tests prove that a family of four or more people can cook, under normal circumstances, for $2.75 a month or less. And only when you are actually cooking is your meter registering —there is no pilot light or switch to run up extra cost. $15 for Your Old Stove or Range on This Universal Electric Range $9Qg 0 S Regular Price Special Allowance - Costs You ___ Thiree-burner Improved Cabinet Model, in white and gray porcelsin enamel with chromium trim.

Seaton, atterding the session in behalf of Gov. Alf M. Landon of Kansas. “Kansas can’t quite forgive Roose- velt for running on one platform and putting another into effect,” said Sea- ton, who admits he is backing the Kansas Governor as a Republican presidential possibility for 1936.
