TWO “FIRST AID” PLANS STUDIED Help Is Proposed| for Nations Hit in Sanctions. (Copyright. 1935, by the Associated Press.) GENEVA, October 16.—Anthony Eden of England backed energetically at a meeting of the Economic Sanc- tions Committee of the League of Nations today a proposal that League states buy nothing from Italy, but no decision was taken by the committee. Two “first aid” proposals for those states likely to suffer from repercus-| sion of the economic sanctions were | laid before tie League Subcommitte: sistance. Nicolas Titulescu, Rumanian foreign | minister, expressed agreement that! Eden's “buy nothing boycott” shonld be put into effect, but pointed out something concrete should be done to offset the trade losses to small states, which are likely to lose their Italian market if the plan goes through. He suggested a “clearing house” ar- rangement by which the trade which Ttaly would lose through the operation of the “buy mnothing plan” could be allocated among various League states according to the size of their losses. Greek Backs Eden Plan. * Demitrioff Maximos of Greece also advocated Eden's plan, but he held that sacrifices should be leveled. He suggested a tax of 2 per cent on all imports of League states to create an equalization fund to be administered by a League agency for the benefit of | the victims of the sanctions’ reper- | cussions. Yugoslavia's delegate said his coun- | try stood to lose heavily through sanc tions since 20 per cent of its exportis normally go there. The proposal, originally advanced by the British, for a boycott by League nations of purchases from Italy, was also supported warmly by the Nether- lands and Belgium. y Rumania, Sweden. Russia and Turkey also favored it. Switzerland, however, advanced some questions. The British Minister for League affairs emerged from the session in high good humor nevertheless, and sources close to him said no real op- position had developed to this addi- of the Ethiopian frontier.

It was stated that the exploration is being conducted through the am- bassadors of those nations. Conducted Through Envoys.

Eden, however, urged adoption of the plan because of the ease and swiftness with which it could be put into operation. He pointed out that the governments | of the world—under the whip of world depression—already had developed to high efficiency their control of im- ports, and that it would be only neces- sary, therefore, to issue instruction to pustoms officials.

X-Ray of Jawbo ne Held as Good As F ingerprint in Identification By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, October 16.—De- tectives of the future are going to get some valuable assistance from the fact that an X-ray picture of a man’s jawbone is about as good as a fingerprint for identification purposes, predicted Dr. C. O. Simpson of St. Louis today. Dr. Simpson, professor at Wash- | ington University’s School of Den- tistry, told the Western Pennsylvania Odontological Society he has studied 250,000 X-ray photographs and con- cluded that: “No two persons’ jawbones and teeth structures are identical.” While X-rays will never replace fingerprints in crime detection, Dr. every dentist has installed picture equipment the X-rays will help iden- tify both criminals and their victims. “Even if the victim had no teeth, we could still identify him by his jawbone, and everybody has a jaw- bone.” He explained that Federal agents and other police officers could make an X-ray photograph of a suspect or victim, “mail it out to the den- tists and some dentist would recog- nize the jawbone—provided everybody in the country were X-rayed.” As another argument for universal X-rays the doctor said if “pictures cent of our dental defects ceuld be discovered while there was yet time Simpson said, he added that when to save the teeth.” { } Rift Over Mussolini Blamed for| were vacant and reorganization of the | of Interior Musa Juke and Minister | were made of all of us, about 98 per | Called “Collection Club.” ‘The National Democratic Council of the District, which has been de- scribed as a “collection club,” was or- ganized for the campaign of 1932.

Cotter, elso a prominent lawyer, came to the chairmanship of the Finance Committee more than a year ago, and a notice went out from the Democratic National Committee desig- nating him—or “his acredited repre- sentatives"—as sole collector of came paign funds here. The appeal obviously is timely, as a statement over the week end by Charles Michelson. Democratic pub- licity chief, referred to the fact that the party still is “rather painfully” paying off its indebtedness to John J.

Earlier, Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau had cleaned house in Internal Revenue offices in Detroit and Philadelphia where men holding | official positions were reputedly ac- tive in raising campaign funds. Cotter said today that perhaps 2,000 letters had been sent out this year to residents of the District by his committee, but that not all of these went to Federal employes. He also explained how the names were obtained. Asked 1f any returns had been re- ceived from employes, he answered: “Oh, yes.” Political solicitation of this char- acter is beyond the scope of civil service law. Under that law, soliciting and col- lecting is barred always as between employes, and no person may pursue political fund raising in a Federal office.
