HAUPTMANN CONVICTION UPHELD AUSTRIA, HUNGARY BREAK FRONT)| FOR LEAGUE SANCTIONS ON ITALY; WARRIORS HARRY ITALIAN FLANK Exempts Both From Share in Action. COMMISSION IS PROPOSED Assembly Delayed by Dispute on Roll Call. (Copyright. 1935, by the Associated Press.) GENEVA, October 9.—The League of Nations alignment favoring the punishment of Italy for invading Eth- iopia was broken today by Austria and Hungary. Baron Pflug! of Austria announced that his nation does not accept the report of the Council Committee of Six under which sanctions would be imposed against Italy. The delegate from Hungary an- nounced that his country was not in a position to indorse the con- clusions of the League Council which decided that Italy had disregarded its covenants under the League of Nations. These two announcements were made in a meeting of the League Assembly which had been called to decide on what action might be taken against Italy for the war in East Africa. Assembly Hall Crowded. The attitude of the diplomats pres- ent was tense. The assembly hall was crowded. Such throngs of spectators at- tempted to witness the deliberations in * this crucial moment for the League | that police guards had to hold them back with ropes. Experts pointed out that the oppo- sition by Austria and Hungary meant ‘merely, in the event of a vote favoring the sanctioning of Italy, that those two nations would be exempt from participating in whatever sanctions were decided upon. The Assembly meeting opened im- mediately after the session by the | body's Steering Committee, which recommended that a commission on sanctions, to co-ordinate the work of the Council and Assembly, be created at once. The Steering Committee made this decision as it met in preparation for an Assembly session. Specifically, the question before the Assembly was whether to approve the report of the Council's Committee of Six which found Italy had violated tne League Covenant, thereby making sanctions applicable against the Fascist state. Baron Aloisi Demurs. Dr. Eduard Benes, foreign minister of Czechoslovakia and president of the Assembly, told the Steering Commit- tee, which consists of the representa- tives of 14 nations, that he would assume at the Assembly that, if the representatives of members did not speak, they were in agreement with the report of the Committee of Six and had no objections to it. Baron Pompeo Aloisi, the Italian delegate, demurred from this concep- tion of the situation and said he dis- approved of a policy of silence in the Assembly. He declared he thought the representatives of each nation should arise and express an opinion on the report. His remonstrance was answered by Premier Laval of France and Anthony Eden of Great Britain, who announced they intended to “say a few words” to the Assembly. The Italian diplo- mat said he intended to make a rather substantial speech. ‘The Steering Committee 1s made up of representatives of Great Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, Belgium, Switzerland, the Irish Free State, Hungary, Rumania, Poland, the Neth- erlands, Mexico and Peru. Indications of friction developing in the League sanction machinery ap- peared when an announcement was posted setting back the critical As- sembly session one hour. Dispute on Roll Call. Monday’s fateful public session of the League Council, which pronounced Italy the aggressor in its war on Ethi- opia and set the sanctions machinery in motion, also had been delayed while Baron Aloisi strove for a 24- hour postponement. ‘This time, members of leading dele- gations said, an argument developed over whether the solemn roll call of the Assembly on public ratification of Monday’s condemnation of Italy should be held first or whether the ryepresentatives of various powers should first be permitted to present their views on the general situation, including sanctions. Meanwhile, the network of fast communications to facilitate world- wide co-ordination of the League’s sanctions drive, when it begins, was already organized. Joseph A. C. Avenol, secretary gen- eral to the League, issued a com- munique advising all governments that beginning October 10 an ex- traordinary daily service of radio (See GENEVA, ‘Page 5.)

HELP AT GENEVA Not Oppose Actions by League. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN, Simultaneously with action at Geneva, the British government is endeavoring to obtain from the United States a promise that this country will adjust its policies so as not to run counter to anything that may be de- ! cided this week at the League of Na- | tions. | While the British statesmen realize there can be no official connection | between the actions of the League and | those of the United States Govern- | ment, they hope that the policy adopted during the Manchurian crisis in 1931 will be repeated. At shat time the American Government worked | “independently but in sympathy and iparallel" with the League and an American observer was appointed to follow the debates of that body. Pren- tiss Gilbert, the American consul general at Geneva, actually partici- pated at some of the debates of the League and Ambassador Charles Dawes represented the United States at the League Council meeting in Paris. Proclamations Far-Reaching. The proclamations President Roose- velt issued last Saturday and Sunday placing the United States in strict neutrality in the present Italo-Ethi- opian conflict are so far reaching the British government is encouraged to think this ‘Government might com- ceivably go a step further as soon as the League decides on what sanctions it will take against the aggressor. The statements of President Roose- velt and Secretary Hull that America is keenly interested in a good neighbor policy and in the respect of the ex- isting international treaties, agree- ments and pacts have produced a deep impression in London and have led the British statesmen to believe that this (See BRITISH, Page 2.)

TAX FIGURE GIVEN INSHUSHAN CASE [ ‘ Hopeful This Country Will Friend of Long Charged by Woodcock With $607,233 Income in Five Years. | By the Associated Press. | NEW ORLEANS, October 9.—Chief Prosecutor Amos W. W. Woodcock, outlining charges of income tax eva- sion against Abe L. Shushan, told a { jury Shushan received 2 cents for every cubic yard dredged for the New Orleans Levee Board by the Standard Dredging Co. These funds, Woodcock declared, are the basis for the Federal charge which went to trial before a jury of 11 white persons and one Negro yes- terday. Shushan, president of the Levee Board and close political associate of the late Huey P. Long, is specifically accused of failing to pay $53,919 in- come taxes for 1929-1933. Woodcock asserted Shushan’s deal- ings with the company began in 1929, shortly after he became president of the Levee Board, and Shushan re- ceived $12,500 from the late R. A. Perry, president of the dredging com- pany. He said after Perry’s death Shu- shan went to New York and inter- viewed Claude Cummings, who suc- ceeded Perry, and Cummings agreed to continue to pay the 2 cents. Woodcock declared Shushan had filed returns for the five years showing a gross income of $158,985.43, while the Government claimed his gross in- come was $607,233.23 for that period. INDICTMENT FILED ON DUTCH SCHULTZ Grand Jury Charges Conspiracy and Failure to File Tax Returns. By the Associated Press.

Mother of Cutting @ Army Advane- ' ing on Border of Eritrea. ITALIAN ENVOY PLANS TO GO Massacre in Aduwa Is Denied in Capital. (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) ADDIS ABABA, October 9.—Ras Seyoum, Ethiopian commander on the northern front, reported early success today in maneuvers of three Ethiopian | forces against the Italian right flank, | claiming capture of an Italian colonel and 30 other officers. The Ethiopian government flatly denied the following reports: That Ethiopians had invaded Eritrea, that Italians were using poison gas, that Ethiopians had surrounded Aduwa, | massacring the Italians; that Edga. { hamus had been captured and that | the war minister had left. | Another Ethiopian chief, Ras Kassa, co-operated in the flank movement with an army 80,000 strong, Ras Se- youm reported, marching toward the Setit River on the border of Italy's colony of Eritrea.

Plane Collision Reported. Another report from the southern front, near the border of Italian Somaliland, said two Italian planes collided while bombing Gerlogubi, in Ogaden province. Details were un- known, There were no immediate fresh re- ports from the central front around Mount Mussa Ali, in the corner formed by the boundaries of Ethiopia, Eritrea and French Somaliland. Observers considered it not impos- sible that harrying of the Fascist forces on the northern front around Aduwa had begun. Ethiopians be- lieved the Italians would halt their advance until their present position was consolidated and their communi- cations made secure. It was reported here that Ameri- cans, whose names were not revealed, have presented the Emperor with two airplanes which are soor to be sent from New York. (Under the Ameri- can neutrality act, such shipments are prohibited). Contrary to the official announce- ment in Rome, the Ethiopian losses in the northern zone are believed to be small with the Ethiopian troops maintaining a high morale.

VALETTA, Malta, October 9.—The guns on Malta’s forts boomed today in salute to Crown Prince Farouk of Egypt, who arrived here on his first trip abroad. At the same time the island police rounded up and questioned numerous pro-Italian suspects, including several Italian merchants. There was an un- confirmed report that one of those examined was Prof. Raggazi, a Jesuit teacher. A The youthful Emir of Egypt was driven through the streets to the pal- ace to the cheers of thousands, ac- companied by Maj. Gen. McCullock and Vice Admiral French. He was re- ceived by Gov. H. C.

Cutting, Democrat, of New Mexico, has advised Vice President Garner she would “not be justified” in accepting the $10,000 appropriation ordinarily made by the Senate to next of kin of deceased Senators. Cutting was killed in an airplane crash last May while en route to Wash- ington from his New Mexico home. “Since the death of my son, former Senator Bronson Cutting, I have seen ¥ in the newspapers that members of the Senate were planning to appro- priate $10,000 to me as his mother,” Mrs. W. Bayard Cutting wrote the Vice President. “I feel that in view of the circum- stances in which I find myself, I would not be justified in accepting such an appropriation from the tax- payers' money.” ‘The customary $10,000 appropriation was approved by the Senate, but later eliminated when the third deficiency bill went to.conference with the House, 9 This, however, was regarded gener- | under way while Italian airplanes | AND THEYRE ONLY WAITING FOR THE RIGHT SORT OF BAIT! n I ) @ 1 | i1 DEEP SEA FISHING.

ENGINEERS AID FALTERING W. P. A Employment Goal Far Short of Realization, President Calls In Army Corps. BY NELSON M. SHEPARD. With the Works Progress Adminis- tration getting deeper into the hole as the November 1 deadline for employ- ing 3,150,000 jobless persons ap- proaches, President Roosevelt has ordered the resources of the Corps of Army Engineers placed at the dis- posal of Harry L. Hopkins to facilitate the lagging program. This became known today when it was learned that Maj. Gen. Edgar Markham, chief of Army Engineers, has been designated as engineering consultant to the W. P. A. The President's order, which has not yet been announced by Hopkins’ | office, repeats the history of the old C. W. A. program, when it was neces- sary to call in the Army engineers to pull Hopkins out of a tight hole, State Heads Get Order. ‘The full purport of the order was revealed in instructions issued by Hop- kins to bewildered State administra- tors, many of whom have repeatedly called fer aid in straightening out confusing engineering projects under their jurisdiction. Hopkins’ office last week announced that Lieut. Col. F. C. Harrington of the Army had been appointed chief engineer of the section. This was sup- posed to have been merely a routine appointment. It was denied by W. P. A. officials that any other Army engineers would be called in. Hopkins’ order to State administra- tors announces that 11 consulting field engineers have been appointed to take charge of problems in the various States. When the works progress adminis- trator revealed the difficulties con- fronting his program to the President, with whom he is traveling, Mr. Roose- velt immediately directed the full resources of the Army Engineers to be made available for whatever services might be required. To Visit Areas Soon. The consulting Field Engineers, Hopkins advised administrators, will shortly visit the areas to which they are assigned. State administrators were directed to “afford them every facility for securing full information concerning the works program in each State with particular regard for those obstacles or difficulties which are ‘hampering the program.” While the present works pi rogress program does not contemplate high- cost engineering projects, each State (See ENGINEERS, Page 5.)

LEONARDTOWN, Md., October 9.—Did you ever hear of a hen adopting five young kittens and kidnaping them from their mother cat? Well, that is just what hap- pened on the farm of G. L. Raley of Newtown Neck recently, Raley’s son Joe related here to- day. He says he can prove the story. An old Plymouth Rock hen stole her nest up in a large hay loft and was setting up there. Then along came the stork and brought the farm cat five little gray and white kittens just be- side the hen and her nest. The hen became so attached to the kittens she wanted them herself. She would drive the mother cat away, Joe says, and try and keep them warm under her feathers and deserted her own nest full of eggs. Only at feeding time would the hen allow the mother cat to have her kittens. It was quite a fight over the kittens between the hen and the mother cat until the kittens got big enough to care for themselves. “Since its very beginning,” he said, | shoulder-to-shoulder with the Amer- | Credentials Committee, and its report | JERSEY'S HIGHEST COURT UNANIMOUS IN REFUSING PLEA IN'KIDNAPING CASE Three Courses Open to Save German Doomed to Die for Abduction and Death of Lindbergh’s Son.

TRENTON, N. J., October 9.—New Jersey’s highest court condemned Bruno Richard Hauptmann today to the electric chair. By unanimous decision, 13 members of the Court of Errors and Appeals upheld the Bronx carpenter's convice tion by a Flemington jury last Feb- ruary 13 for the murder of little Charles A.

HAUPTMANN STUNNED AT NEWS | Court Decision Leaves Her Speech- less for Moment—Will “Carry On.” By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 9. —Mrs. Anna Hauptmann, wife of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, was stunned today when she learned that the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals had upheld the deah sentence of her husband. She was unable to talk for a mo- ment when the Associated Press in- formed her of the decision. Then she said: “Well, all we can do is carry on. I don't know what I will do now, but Richard and I will continue to hope in God. “I hope and pray that the true facts will come out before they can do anything to my poor man.” “I saw him yesterday and he was so cheerful. We didn't talk about the appeal. We never talked about that, but I could always see from his atti- tude that he expected the court would find him innocent and send him back to me and the baby.” Mrs. Hauptmann has been living in a Bronx apartment with her son Mannfried, now- almost 2 years old. She declined offers of friends to stay with them tonight. “I want to be alone with my baby. ‘Tomorrow, perhaps, we can do some- thing.” Mrs. Hauptmann said private ine vestigators are still working on the Lindbergh kidnaping, for which her husband has been sentenced to death. “If God 50 wills, they will solve this mystery soon,” she said. Edward J. Reilly, Brooklyn attorney who withdrew from the case after heading the defense in Hauptmann's Flemington trial, said he still thinks Hauptmann is innocent. “Although the court has judicially {declared him guilty, I still believe that he is not guilty of the murder,” Reilly said. “I am convinced his present attor- neys will carry the case higher. “If at any time I can be of any service to his cause,” Rellly cone tinued, “I am at the defendant’s command.”
