A—4 wx¥ THE EVENING STAR, 'WA'SHINGTON. D. C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1635, ACCORDONN.R.A. HELD NECESSARY George L. Berry Warns In- dustry it Must Agree on New Legislation. By th~ Associated Press A warning to industry that its in- ability to agree on new N. R. A. legislation would mean “that our future destinies are in the hands of the politicians” was sounded yesterday by George L. Berry, co-ordinator for industrial co-operation. Addressing the convention of the National Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association, in session at the May- flower Hotel, Berry said 74 per cent of | 5300 business and labor leaders he had invited to a conference on the sub- Ject had agreed to attend. Berry declared cut-throat competi- tion “is with us again,” adding that “disintegration can occur even in this period of prosperity.” Living Up to Code. Ernest T. Trigg, president of the association, said the paint manufac- turers are living up to code provisions because the rules “represent good, sound business policies.” He added. however, that association officers had “not found much interest or enthusiasm” for submission of a voluntary agreement to the Federal Trade Commission Reporting that the paint business had shown an 186 per cent increase this vear up to September 30, while 1934 business was 27.5 per cent above that of 1933, Trigg praised the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, the Federal Housing act and other recent laws and agencies which had helped the industry. Warns of Increase in Taxes. He warned. however, that the in- ereasing tax burden “must be watched.” and brought squarely home | to his audience the litt:e-realized ex- tent of the levies voted in the Social &ecurity act. In one instance, he said. a manu- facturer “reports that while the total of all other taxes was $12,000 in 1934, his social security t when fully operative, based on 1935 pay roll, will amount to $31.000 annually.” Washington business representatives declined comment publicly on Berry's statements, but several said they had advised their clients tc attend the Berry meetings to protect their in- terests. 1 hope,” Berry said, “we will have the rare experience of submitting #omething jointly, if it is to be sub-| mitted, to the Congress of the United States, that will meet our requirements. “If we fail in this task, we shall be compelled to acknowleGge that don't know what we want. and that our future cestinies are in the hands of the politicians.” Qual?

Jones, former Washing- ton real estate man, has been appoint- ed general mainager of the Home | | Owners’ Loan Corp., succeeding Pres- ton Delano of California, who was named governor of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, it was announced today. In another development of major importance in the Federal Home Loan Bank Board's activities, Nugent Fal- lon of Massachusetts was appointed to the post of general manager of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp., to take office December 1. The governorship of the Federal Home Loan Bank System is a new position, made imperative by the re- cent rapid growth in the membership of the banks, the steady rise in bank loans to member private financial in- stitutions, and the need of a co-ordi- nating head charged with the execu- tion of board policy in the operation of regional banks. Jones had been active in the real estate business in Washington for nearly 30 years. He was appointed manager of the H. O. L. C. in the Dis- trict in July, 1933. Subsequently he became head of the corporation’s loan review division, and deputy general manager of the corporation, occupying | the latter position during the last 16 months. Delano has occupied executive posi- | tions in the corporation for the past two years, serving successively as Of Sister, Joins Her in Death BY W. H. SHIPPEN, J!

The spokesman warned that Italy would wipe off from the list of states with which she does business all coun- tries which boycott her. It was said that an Italian boycott of French products already has been started. French sources said that Laval would exert every effort here to build a basis for an eventual peace agree- ment between Italy and Ethiopia. Peace Plan Now Discussed. A peace plan now being discussed in League circles, particularly among the French, is as follows: The League of Nations would extend its assistance to the ceatral provinces forming the nucleus of Ethiopia; each outlying province would have a governor with an Italian administrator sitting beside him; these administrators would be responsible to a chief Italian adminis- Addis Ababa; Ethiopia would cede part of Ogaden Province to Italy and would receive in return a .port on the Red Sea.

FIELD HEADQUARTERS, ITALIAN NORTHERN ARMIES IN ETHIOPIA, November 1 (#).—The Fascist deter- mination to carry on in spite of League of Nations sanctions, as expressed by Gen. Emilio de Bono, lent vigor to the thrust of Italian arms toward the in- terior of Ethiopia today. As reports were received here of a sharp battle northwest of the town of Malke Se on the southern front, 1n which 14 soldiers were killed, the hign commander of Italian colonial troops observed the question of sanctions hus been taken serenely. From Mogadischio, Italian Somali- land, came word of the battle which involved bands of Italian irregulars and Ethiopian troops. The casualties were comprised of 11 Ethiopians and | three Dubats (native Italian troops). | The Italians anticipated an attack | by Ethiopians in strong numbers and | launched a surprise offensive, it was | reported. After a short but fierce fight the Ethiopians withdrew. /., (Malke Se does not appear on maps. | — A communique from Rome related | Dubats attacked Ethiopians northwest of the Daua River, near “Malca Rie.”) Gen. de Bono expressed the hope Italy’s Armies can proceed without further bloodshed. | e |BOY, 3, TRAPPED IN CRIB, IS BURNED TO DEATH By the Associated Press. 8AN DIEGO, Calif., November 1.— ‘Trapped in his flaming crib, a 3-year- old boy was burned to death early today.
