* MEXICO PREPARES 10 CRUSH REBELS Sonora Insurgents Reported to Have Issued Manifesto for General Uprising. By the Associated Press. NOGALES, Sonora, Mexico, October 18.—Preparations for an organized drive against the Sonora rebels were being made today amid reports that the insurgents had issued a manifesto urging popular uprising “against the tyranny of the present regime.” Municipal, state and federal au- thorities throughout the fear-swept border state were understood to be gathering in Hermosillo, the capital, to organize for a crushing campaign against the rebels, who have raided several towns and killed a number of municipal officials. Manifesto Declared Received. In Phoenix, Ariz., the republic said it had received a manifesto from the rebel forces asking a popular uprising against the present Mexican govern- ment, charging the people have be- come “nothing but slaves” and threat- ening no peace until the regime is ousted. The manifesto, dated September 30, ‘was signed by “Gen. Luis Ibarra, head of the military operations in Sonora,” the newspaper said. Ibarra, who previously has been named as head of the Sonora rebels, was represented as saying his ambi- tion was to “reconquer for Mexico the three fundamental institutions of ciety—religion, family and propert; Meanwhile, citizens joined officials in preparing for a continuation of guerilla warfare or fleeing to safety. Officials Flee. All officials of Magdalena, including the mayor and the entire police force, were reported to have fled toward Hermosillo when it was learned the main rebel body was encamped in a stronghold but 10 miles from the city. Officials of several other municipali- ties in the same region also evacuated their towns, in three instances only a short time before raiders rode into the villages in search of the presidents. Since the rebellion broke out the rebels have vented their wrath only | egainst officials, leaving private citi- gens unmolested. Nevertheless, zens able to obtain permits have been United States. Authorities on Lookout. Authorities here and at two other important border towns, Agau Prieta and Naco, are Kkeeping a vigilant watch around the cities as reports .continue that the rebels are ready to attack. Mounted men are circling the city of Agua Prieta and civilians, armed by municipal officials, are patrolling highways leading from the south. citi- | At Naco, old trenches used in the | 1929 revolution have been occupied | by officials and civilians in readiness for a raid. A squadron of Federal airplanes was ready today for another reconnais- sance flight over the interior of So- nora in an effort to locate the hide- out of the insurgents. The planes were out yesterday, but were unable to locate the raiders. LUNCHEON TO CLOSE GOODWILL CAMPAIGN Contributors to $15,520 Fund. | Wider Canvass Allowed by Continuance. The Goodwill Industries of Wash- ington will close its drive to raise $15,520 with a National Press Club luncheon Wednesday to all Washing- | tonians who have contributed to the fund. Ernest W. Daniel. chairman of the Campaign Committee, announced the campaign, scheduled to close yesterday, will be continued into next week to allow a wider canvass of the city. Almost $11,000 has been pledged so far. Daniel pointed out Goodwill In- | dustries has not yet applied for mem- bership in the Community Chest be- cause it wants first to prove itself in service to Washington. The campaign chairman appealed to Washingtonians who have not been reached by campaign workers to send donations by mail to James C. Dulin, jr., treasurer of the American Security & Trust Co. and treasurer of Goodwill Industries. Most of the money raised in the campaign will be used to equip a shop at 924 Fifth street, where aged and | handicapped men and women will be paid wages to repair furniture, cloth- ing and shoes which otherwise would have gone to waste.

To any direct ac- tion from the Austrian Nazis in Ger- many Mussolini is opposing 500,000 men, concentrated on the Austrian notice. o e Can Great Britain overbid Italy? That is what the French are ask- ing themselves now. In order to get France’s unqualified support for military sanctions the British government must raise the ante considerably. Nothing short of a definite guarantee of the boun- daries of France’s allies in East- ern and Central Europe can sat- isfy French public opinion. And with that guarantee must also go a guarantee that the British armies and air force be ready to help the French defend the Rhine | and the Alps border. | In the event of a conflict between France is militantly on the British ‘TH® anguish on the face of James Thompson, 25, tells dramatically of his reaction to his mother’s exhortation: taken in Ironton, Ohio, Jail, just before Thompson left for Ohio Peniten- tiary death house.

The French who, for the sake of the League of Nations, have indorsed the economic sanction policy against Italy, are unwilling to go further. They see an inevitable European war in the application of a naval blockade of the Italian coasts or of the Suez Canal and are unwilling to assume such a stupendous respon- sibility. Laval can see no ultimate advantage for France in another con- flagration; quite the contrary, an- other war might wipe out France as a world power. 90¢ | timiglia. H. JONES. 1703 fth i Of the two nations interested in the early end of the Italo-Ethiopian war—Great Britain and France—the French nation is the one which is most anxious to find a solution to satisfy Mussolini and put an end to this adventure which may bring about ruin to the whole world. The French are probably much better informed about Mussolini’s attitude than the British because they have to be. They know posi= tively that the Italians are bound to retaliate to any warlike action in the Mediterranean—and a block= ade is a warlike action whether taken in the name of the League or not. Hence they counsel the British to go easy and not ad- vance the hands of the clock which may mark the doom of the Old World. The French know exactly what Italy’s strength is. They know that their only naval base in the Medi- terranean, Toulon, is only 140 miles from the Italian air base near Ven- They know that Mussolini will fight with the back against the wall and at the first shot from the British men-of-war he will destroy Toulon, if that harbor is placed by the French at the disposal of the British navy. Aand Laval cannot or will not assume such a responsibility. He believes that the Italians are willing to come to terms if they are given the portions of Ethiopia which they have con- quered so far and if the rest is placed under the control of the Italian gov- ernment. Mussolini has told the PFrench Ambassador, Count de Cham- brun, that he is willing to leave the Tsana Lake and its adjacent territory to the British. But the British gov- ernment is adamant. The League cannot be flouted, says Eden. The “Pray harder, son.” Photo —Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto. British interests in Egypt are too im- portant to allow an aggressive nation like Italy to establish a colonial em- pire right at the front door of the British Empire, thinks the British cabinet and the British nation as a whole, * x % ¥ Poor Laval is no Talleyrand. He finds himself between the devil and the deep sea—between a resolute and dangerous friend, Mussolini, and the equally temacious and stubborn British bulldog. He has promised last January to Il Duce that he will not oppose his plans in Eastern Africa and he has also promised Eden to support Great Britain in her action to enforce the decisions of the League of Na- tions. He played a dangerous | poker game. He is being called now by both the British and the Italians and does mot know how to get out of it. France does not want war. The best solution he can see is to pass the cards to somebody else —Herriot or Paul Boncour—and let them play his hand. ¥ ke Since France appears so unwilling | to side with Great Britain in taking “drastic measures” against Il Duce, the British are turning their eyes on Germany. The Reich may not be as helpful | an ally as France, but Germany can do a good deal to force Il Duce to his knees. First of all, Germany can, by siding with Britain, stop all trade with Italy, | nd that will be a severe blow for Mussolini, since France cannot go back on her word and refuse to apply the economic sanctions she has pressed at Geneva. Furthermore, Germany can be induced without difficulty to resume the agitation in favor of an an- schluss with Austria, and such & ‘move cannot be ignored by Musso- lini, A British-German alliance might start a war in Europe, a war, the British think, which will be the end of Mussolini’s dictatorship, | paid. since he cannot count on France’s effective support. For the time being Italy is pre- pared to withstand the economic sanctions. The Italian war chest has a fair amount of foreign exchange and gold. Culy three weeks ago Mussolini raised $30,000,000 by dumping on the French market all the French bonds his sub- jects possessed. * k¥ X Italy is no loriger so dependent on the outer world as she used to be. At a pinch she can grow enough wheat. Electricity is gradually replacing coal. Charcoal, of which she has plenty, can now be used instead of oil as a motor fuel. Maybe Italy cannot get credit to obtain copper, cotton and nickel from the United States and Canada. But Germany, as long as she has not joined the British camp, can obtain such credits, and Germany, in turn, is not bound by any regulations or decisions of the League not to extend these advantages to Italy Sunflowers May Yield Rubber.

The Joint National Conference on Housing, meeting at the Washington Hotel, was told, in effect, today that its purpose—to co-ordinate the activ- itles of housing agencies—was wrong. Miss Catherine K. Bauer of the Labor Housing Counoil said it was un- desirable to group the activities of the various Government housing agencies or to attempt to effect an alignment between different schools of thought on the problem. There can be no common cause, she said, between those who are interested in improving housing conditions, in meeting the housing shortage and in developing new construction methods, and those of the “old order” who “will guard existing practices at any cost.” Declaring the housing shortage was becoming increasingly acute, Miss Bauer estimated there would be a 16 per cent increase in the number of families in the United States between 1930 and 1940. Marriages planned during the depression have been de- ferred, byt are now being realized, she said. Miles Colean of the Federal Hous- ing Administration told the conference private capital in the housing field, “alone of all the flelds of industrial enterprise, has consistently refused to consider its biggest market—that of the low-priced dwelling.” “It will be only after a consid- erable readjustment of its outlook and its practice that a change will come about,” he said. “Private capi- tal, with no more assistance than Vacation Over NOTED ORCHESTRA LEADER COMING TO CAPITAL.

The F. H. A, he added, while not a complete so- lution, in no sense a palliative, but is a measure of reform which offers the possibility of providing new, high-quality housing for a larger group of the population than private capital has heretofore been able to serye.” Alfred K. Stern, the meeting chair- man, said a subsidy was the only way to improve housing among low in- come groups. Alfred Bettman, Cincinnati, presi- dent of the American Society of Plan- ning Officials told last night's confer- ence session housing is a public cise of the right of eminent domain. | “The question here,” he said, “is | with compensation, | property for public use, but whether housing constitutes that public use.” The conference will close with the adjournment of this afternoon’s ses- sion, at which the service of the Fed- | eral Government to home owners and | tenants will be discussed. e HOTEL TO BE LEASED Bon Air-Vanderbilt in Augusta | Will Change Hands. AUGUSTA, Ga., October 18 (#).— A lease agreement whereby the Bon Air-Vanderbilt, largest of the local Winter hotels, will be acquired by Theodore Dewitt, operator of a hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, and the General Oglethorpe, Savannah, will be com- pleted here next Tuesday. The officials of the Bon Alr Co., owners of the hotel, said today that formal closing of the lease awaits only the signing of the papers. A company headed by Walton Marshall, New York, was the previous lessor. —e EDDIE CANTOR SUED $100,000 Is Claimed by Author for Writing Seript.

WOMEN WILL PLAN YOUTH ASSISTANCE Several Forms Affecting Rural Problem to Be Taken Up &t Conference. Plans for several forms of assistance to rural youth will be developed here next month at a cenference arranged by the Southern Woman’s Educational Alliance of Richmond. The meeting will be held at the Mayflower Hotel November 8-10 and is expected to at- tract educational experts from Gov- ernment and private agencies. Sponsors of the conference feel rural youth has not obtained the proper at- tention from Federal and non-Federal educational and relief organizations. They want the boys and girls in the mountains and on farms to receive the same benefits accorded urban youth. Some of the discussion topics tenta- tively adopted for the conference are: “Best Uses of Radio and Motion Pic- tures as Alds to the Education and Guidance of Rural Young People,” COMPLETELY INSTALLED IN ONE DAY 3 “The College Problem for Rural Youth,” “The Need for Practical Guidance Inforamtion About the Newer Rural Occupations—Can We Get It From the Government or Else- where?”, “What Out-of-School Rural Youth Is Asking for Self-development and Hitches in Adjusting Emergency Aid to Giving It.” “The Need for Ap- prentice Training (with scholarships) for Rural Guidance Work of Coun- sellors, Directors of Guidance, etc.,” “Perplexities in Testing Programs for Very Underprivileged Rural Children: e.g. For Typical Mountain Elementary Schools and as a Part of an Experi- mental High School Program in the Same Are.” A similar meeting was held here in March, 1934. Some of the participat- ing organizations, expected to send representatives again this year, were: The Agriculture Department, the Cen- sus, Children’s and Indian Affars Bu- reaus, Liberia’s Loss.
