A.F. L. CONDEMNS [TALIAN INVASION Grges Powers to Refuse Financial and Commer- cial Aid to Rome. By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., October 16. —The §merican Federation of Labor declared Italy an “outlaw nation” to- day and urged the countries of the | world to deny her financial and com- mercial assistance in the Ethiopian conflict. “The territory of a peaceful nation has been invaded,” a statement adcpted by the federation convention said, “in order to carry out a policy of Fascist conquest. “Our country was a leader in the movement which sesulted ‘n the Kel- ogg peace pact. The attack now be- ing made on Ethiopia is in violation of the Kellogg pact.” U. S. Neutrality Approved. The statement “emphatically ap- proved” the neutrality policy of Presi- dent Roosevelt and Congress. Suggestions from the floor that the | United States should adopt a stronger policy to bar shipment of materials to Italy and that the federation con- sider indorsement of the work of the committee for Ethiopian independ- ence were rejected. The convention approved the action of the League of Nations against Italy. “Labor is always the major sufferer in every war,” the statement said, “this being true of victor and van- guished alike. The dictator's (Mus- | solini) determination to secure his ob- jective through the use of armed force was taken with the knowledge that his act might precipitate another general war.” Legislation Record Lauded. ‘The convention approved the Coun- cil opposition to State child labor eompacts prior to ratification of a constitutional amendment and laud- ed the record of labor legislation en- acted during the past year. The issue of craft against indus- trial union recognition reached open conflict today at the convention. Three conflicting resolutions were before the delegates. *The Resolutions Committee, seek- Ing a compromise of the controversy which has been in progress several years, has offered a motion to recog- nize both types of organization. Industrial unionists, led by John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, sought adoption of a motion which would declare for industrial organiza- tion in the mass production indus- tries “irrespective of craft or trade."’ Advocates of the craft unions urged flat approval of their motion.

A. A Vested Interests Difficult to Eradicate After Tie-Up With Bureaucracy. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Officials of the Agricultural Adjust- ment Administration are very much concerned lest the various production control associations for wheat, corn and other agricultural commodities may become political instrumentalities. Publication by this writer of the text of a letter sent out from a wheat production control association asking for funds for a propaganda campaign, with an assessment to each farmer based on benefits received from the Government, has led to the issuance within the last 24 hours of an order to stop all such tactics. The memorandum was first pre- pared on October 1 when the A. A. A. says it first heard of activities in Iowa relating to propaganda funds, but for some reason or other no action was taken and the memorandum was not distributed. The letter sent out by | the Texas organization asking for | funds for propaganda was dated Oc- | tober 5, and whatever reason there was for delaying the issuance of the | orders was apparently removed when it was realized that the movement already was in full swing. Apprehension Expressed. It is understood that the A. A. A. acted not only because of adverse criticism that might come if it re- mained inactive in the face of suci abuse ofs the production control asso- ciation machinery, but because na- tional farm organizations like the American Farm Bureau and the Na- tional Grange have expressed appre- hension that they might find com- petitors in these production control associations. Thus if the millions of farmers benefiting from A. A. A. could be brought together into these produc- tion associations for propaganda and lobbying they might find less reason for belonging to the farm bodies which have been raising funds through dues in order to bring pres- sure en Congress in eonnection with farm legislation. There's something in the agricul- 1 adjustment act itselt and in the harters of the production control as- sociations which forbids them to function for any other purpose ex- Pt arranging the production allot- | ments for farmers on which A. A. A benefits and subsidies are to be calcu- lated. It is held, therefore, that the raising of funds to detend the A. A. A against its critics goes beyond tre original charters granted these asso- ciations. It is interesting to note that H. G Lucas, chairman of the Farmers' Protective Committee at Brownwood.

COURT HEARS PLEA OF “WOMAN IN RED” Fight on Deportation Based on Promise in Connection With Dillinger Case. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 16.—Federal Judge John P. Barnes was asked to rule today on whether Mrs. Anna Sage ‘was an Americaa citizen by marriage, as she claimed, or an alien of Ruma- nian birth, as the Government con- tended, and therefore subject to de- portation as undesirable. The “woman in red,” tawdry heroine who “put the finger” on John Dillinger in a Federal agents’ death trap last year, was under a deporta- tion order by the Department of Labor on the ground she was twice convicted of operating houses of ill fame in Indiena. Her attorneys, Thomas J. Johnson, &r., and Thomas J. Johnson, jr., said when she married Michael Ciolai, her first husband, she became an Amey- ican citizen under the old immigration law that an alien wife partook of her husband’s citizeaship. To this ¢laim Assistant District Attorney Austin Hall retorted that the old law was amended to eliminate the citizenship-by-marriage clause in Sep- tember, 1922, and that Ciolai was not naturalized until three months later. Due for a further airing at today's Hearing, said counsel for Mrs. Sage, was her claim that in return-for be- traying Dillinger, she was promised immunity from deportation by Melvin Purvis, then chief of the Chicago G men. Three East Chicago, Ind, Ppolicemen are witnesses. —_— SILENT ON SEPARATION NEW YORK, October 16 (4).—Mrs. Henry Gassaway Davis, 3d, the former Grace Vanderbilt, sailed for Paris to- day after refusing to discuss published reports that she is separated from her Rusband, socially prominent grandson of the late Senate Henry Gassaway Davis. Her mother, wife of Brig. Gen. Cor- nellus Vanderbilt, accompanied her.

On top of this peculiar inside set-un own censorship, which already has caused foreign newsmen to protest of- ficially. Authorities here were sent spinning when they received the first news that the Italians had started the war by advancing northward from Somali- land. The news came from a city which was at least four weeks away from the Somaliland border by the swiftest mercury of the desert—the A council of officials was called here to figure out what the news meant. It was agreed that the border was indefinite, unmarked; that prob- ably some Italians had moved from their side of the mountain over to the other side several weeks before and that camel-haired zephyrs had just reached a communications line with the information. Ethiopian Experts Best Propaganda specialists here believe that, of the two warring censorship regimes, the Ethiopian is by far the best. No one knows exactly who is responsible for it, but every one seems to agree that it is not the Ethiopians. Some are inclined to give credit to the British and French, but most blame an American. He is Haile Selassie’s financial adviser, but he knows more than finance—a Mr. Everett A. Colson, native of Warren, Me., now in his fifties. His back- ground includes private banking in Ethiopia, World War service, several years in Haiti, a United States mar- shalship at Canton, China, a civil service directorship in the Philippines. The advice which experts here give as to the relative merits of confusing war information is this: American correspondents at the front on both sides are sending the most authentic information available. They may be delayed by transmission difficulties and subjected to censor- ship, but should be trusted as against stories from any other sources. They will usually have the right story a day or two late. Stories from Addis Ababa concern- ‘ng happenings at the front should be subjected to microscopic inspection. Yarns from Rome about develop- ments at the front are hardly worth reading, as are also the stories written by European correspondents, published in London, Paris and re- layed here. These are generally over- flavored with thelr own particular political absinthe.

By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, October 16.—A | “tax rebellion” was forecast here to- day as a possible outcome of the widespread attempts of legislatures to shift revenue-raising burdens from property owners.

If the Legislatures give too much | relief to property owners, Fairchild | said, “the men and women who have paid their taxes will rebel, possibly to the place that the entire tax structure will fall.” His research showéd him, Fairchild | continued, that it would be impossible to estimate the total delinquent tax bill of the United States. “Property taxes,” he added, however, “are destined to be the greatest rev- enue producers for some time to come.” e CORRECTION Photograph of Women's Guild Identified Incorrectly. ‘Through an error, The Star last Priday identified a photograph of the Women’s Guild of the Central Unicn Mission as the Women's Guild of Sibley Hospital. * ‘The picture was published after the annual election of the Central Union Mission Guild and showed the new officers: Mrs. John S.

PRESIDENT VIEWS CHANGES AT CANAL Panama Executive and Wife In- vited Aboard Houston, With Other Guests. By the Associated Press. EN ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, PANAMA CANAL ZONE, October 16.—President Roose- velt, as an old wmeighbor, inspected | Having crossed the canal last year, he was interested on this trip in view- ing its fortifications and supplemen- tary features. | He invited the President, Harmodio Arias, of Panama, and Senora de Arias, for a visit aboard the U. S. 8. Houstcn before starting a motor trip to Madden Dam. ‘The President also arranged for a luncheon at Fort Clayton, where he was to review the troops before re- boarding the Houston in the middle of the canal to ccatinue the trip to the Atlantic. ‘The President has not yet an- nounced just what route the Houston will follow on the trip back to con- tinental United States and it was be- lieved likely that he would take a couple of days to visit the West Indies for his favorite sport of fishing. The Houston was anchored off Bal- boa last night, but Mr. Roosevelt ordered that it arrive in the canal early today. e PASTORS’ PAY SET KNOXVILLE, Tenn., October 16 (#).—A “living wage” for pastors of | the Holton Conference of the Meth- | odist Episcopal Church South was as- | sured here yesterday by a nve-mm‘ commission named at the recent con- | ference meeting in Chattanooga to consider minimum salaries. | The commission upheld the confer- | ence’s decision suggesting minimum | salaries at $1,200 a year for married pastors with children, $1,000 a year for married pastors without children and $800 a year for unmarried pastors. dent of the Wheat Production Control Association of Deaf Smith County. Tex., to contact every farmer and get a contribution for propaganda, is the same man who figured in the organi- zation of the famous “march” or Washington last May which was hailed as a spontaneous demonstra- tion of farmers who wanted a contin- | uance of the A. A. A Addressed by President. It was this group of agricultural missionaries to which President Roosevelt delivered an address from the rear steps of the White House. It will be recalled that Senator Hast- ings of Delaware charged at the time that the A. A. A. was indirectly re- sponsible for the so-called sponta- neous march on Washington by the farmers, but the Democrats pooh- poohed the idea and refused to take his resolution of injury seriously. The A. A. A. is to be commended for acting finally to put a stop to mis- use of its own farm associations for propaganda purposes. But it is evi- dent that the A. A. A. will not be able to prevent the regular farm organi- zations from doing the very same thing that the Wheat Production Control Committees have been for- bidden to do. namely to collect con- tributions from the farmers for the preservation of the scheme of finan- cial subsidies. Thus are vested inter- ests created which, when tied up with bureaucracy in Washington, are diffi- cult to eradicate even after their pe- riod of usefulness has passed. (Copyright. 1935.)

Irvin S. Cobb Says: Country Needs Mae West Joke to End All Mae West Jokes LANCASTER, Calif,, October 16.—A lady writes in, wishing to know what this country needs the most. Well, dear madam, let's see: Would 1t be more citizens who'll quit cuss- ing the kind of Government they get for long enough to go to the polls, just once, and vote? Or more pa- triots who'll quit waving Old Glory long enough to help smoke out some alien en- emy hiding in the folds of the flag he hates? Or fewer of those anti-Rooseveltites who still go on the apparent assump- | tion that when the President prom- ised to give business a breathing spell he meant sneezing spell? Or fewer of those pro-Rooseveltites who still think any honest criticism of the man in the White House is just the same as breaking the second com- mandment? But, lady, since you're asking me, I say what this country needs most is a Mae West joke to end all Mae West Jjokes. (Copyright 1935. by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.) I
