MRS. ELWOOD STREE{' WILL ADDRESS WOMEN Wife of Public Welfare Director Witness - LEAGUE CONSIDERS ~ With Italians in. Northern Ethiopia ENBARCOADDITON Sanctions Subcommiitee to Examine Replies of States on New Ban. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, November 5-—The eco- nomic ‘subcommittee of the League of Nations Sanctions Committee was calléd together today for consideration of a measure calculated to add a squeeze to the boycott against Italy. A resolution providing for the ban on exportation to Italy of coal, pe- troleum, iron and steel was pre- pared for presentation to the meet- ing as the first step in cutting off these essentials from Il Duce’s country. The first task of the subcommit- tee, however, will be the examination of the replies from various govern- ments to the League suggestion to cut off these commodities. The reso- immn will then be.passed on to the ommittee of 18 for action tomorrow. Data to Be Sent Here. 1f the committee of 18 adopts the resolution, the entire documentation bearing on the League’s decision will be forwarded to Washington. League officials emphasized no pres- sure will be used on .Jon-member nations, including the United States, to co-operate in the embargo of these products. But League members were said to hope for voluntary state- ments from Washington and Ger- many on what their action is likely to be. v The question of transit created fresh complications. The committeemen, striving to devise a system by which non-member and noh-participating states—the latter particularly refers to Austria, ‘Hungary and Albania— will be enjoined from breaking the back of the boycott against Italy. Agreement Decided On, Agreement reached by the states participating in the sanctions is that they should guarantee that goods ex- yported to a non-participating state | &hould not be re-exported to Italy. This is acknowledged to make Swit- perland’s position especially difficult, since the Swiss believe that if they | halted merchandise sent from Ger- | many to Italy it could be dispatched through Austria and across Brenner Pass on the Italian frontier. = Some delegates want all ships calling at ports of participating states ex- amined for contraband, but even the British say this would be difficult and might result in ships sailing directly to Italian and German ports..

River and then marched east and slightly south, in the direction of Makale. The eastern boundary of the spearhead occupied area slants from the Eritrean border almost 100 miles down to Makale. In the Western area, the column under Pietro Maravigna has, in oc- cupying down to the Takkaze River, pushed the Italian lines 50 miles nearer to Lake Tana in the Northeast interior of Ethiopia. This lake is the source of the Blue | Nile River, providing for the fertility of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and Egypt. Italy on Diet at Home. As the forces converged in .the Agula sector for the irive into Makale Italy at home went on a six-month | *war diet,” preparing the agressor nation for the campaign of sanctions laid down by the League of Nations. I1 Duce’s rationing regulations went into effect today. Butcher shops were closed today and will be closed on Tuesdays hereafter. Diners in public places were allowed only one meat course. Regulations for conserving heat and power were imposed. Spaghetti and nocdles were un- touched by the regulations—and thus the vast majority of Italians were only slightly affected by the decrees. Although the meat courses were cut in public dining places the prices remained unchanged. If a foreigner or Italian asked for two meats, he was informed it was unpatriotic. Power and Fuel Conserved, The National Association for Fuel Control set in motion its program for conserving power, heat, gasoline and coal. Fascists over the land accepted the changes without a murmur. Fascist youth paraded through the streets, einging songs conveying their con- tempt for the League's campaign of sanctions. In "Addis Ababa, as far as a for- kigner was concerned, -all was in con- brast as regards food. It was cheap #nd plentiful. _ The Ethiopian *government was #waiting the arrival of Sidney Brown, secretary of the International Red Pross Committee, from Geneva. At Diibouti, in French Somaliland, Where he entrained for Addis Ababa, Brown said ambulance units from at least half a dozen neutral countries were expected to aid the Ethiopian dorces. Elections Are Awaited. While diplomatic conversations were continuing, little hope was held put for any constructive peace pro- posals until after the British parlia- pentary elections November 14. There was no apparent sign of any cific plan to use as a basis tor g:mng the East African strife. Nor was there in Rome any immediate gn of settling the friction between taly and England. A Government spokesman in Rome id: “Italy and England do not yet speak fhe same diplomatic language.” This spokesman cited the follow- Jng point of misunderstanding: Italy has been willing to recognize Britain’s material interests in East Africa, but, he said, London has insisted it is not sctuated in the Afro-European crisis by these interests. Delay Laid to British. Ttalian officials expressed the opin- Jon the postponement of peace nego- tiations can be blamed on the Brit- ish, inasmuch as the Conservative government cannot negotiate until the #lection is over. In Geneva, the subcommittee on sanctions considered a resolution to Include coal, petroleum, iron and steel in the list of key products to further strengthen the economic pressure on Jtaly. The subcommittee previously ap- proved the resolution in principle. The resolution would be passed to the full Committee of 18, in charge of senforcing sanctions, tomorrow.

Y., November 5 (#).— National leaders of both parties cast an eye on President Roosevelt’s home State today as nearly 6,000,000 voters | participated in an election that may | 1everberate into the 1936 presidential | contest. i The major interest centered in the | filling of 150 seats of the State As-| | sembly, lower house of the Legisla- ! ture, in a contest accepted by Demo- ! cratic and Republfcan chieftains in | State and Nation as an indication of New Deal sentiment. The Democrats won control of the | House last Fall for the first time in 22 years with 77 seats, 1 more than & | constitutional majority, against the | Republicans’ 73. Republican National Chairman Henry P. Fletcher has appealed for | an overthrow of Democratic control | as a repudiation of the New Deal, de- | claring the Democratic administration “stands at the bar of public opinion.” While insisting that the Assembly electiort involves State issues only, Postmaster General James A. Farley, as State and national Democratic { chairman, accepted the G. O. P. chal- | lenge with the assertion, “If the Re- publicans wish to fight it out on a | national line, we'll take them on.” ‘Two members of the National House of Representatives will be chosen in New York City, and numerous judi- cial and mayoralty posts are at issue. The voters will decide, too, whether they shall authorize a $55,000,000 bond issue for relief purposes.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., November 5 (7). —A vitriolic campaign in which Gov. Ruby Laffoon and & group of his fol- lowers have repudiated the Demo- cratic nominee for Governor shifted from the stump to the ballot box to- day. Voters chose a Governor and State officials who hold office for four years; all the State Representatives and half the State Senators. The Democratic nominee for Gov- ernor, A. B. “Happy” Chandler, 37, lieutenant governor and lawyer of Versailles, has been supported by President Roosevelt’s administration. Chandler has made some 600 campaign speeches urging his election as needed to uphold the President’s efforts to re- store prosperity. Judge King Swope, 41, presiding judge of the Fayette County Circuit Court, Lexington, has kelabored the Kentucky State administration as “wasteful and extravagant,” and has unsparingly attacked Chandler, per- sonally and politically. He has steered clear of national issues. Gov. Laffoon, whose administration- backed sales tax has been lambasted by Chandler and Swope alike, declared he would not vote for Chandler. Thomas S. Rhea, the Governor's chojce for the nomination, who lost to Chandler in the run-off primary, at- tacked Chandler in a speech on the eve of the election and declared he was going to vote for Swope. Polls at ‘Kentucky's 4219 voting precincts open at 6 a.m. and close at 4 pm. Counting of the ballots under the State’s “honest election law” be- gins at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. When Gov. Laffoon was elected four years ago, 823,540 votes were cast, and Laffoon’s majority was 72,062. President Roosevelt in 1932 got a thumping majority .of 185,858, when 875,290 ballots, largest vote in the State’s history, were recorded. Referring to his “bolt” from the party, Rhea said President Roosevelt “has seven times since his election given his support to Republican nom- inees against Democrats.” He cited the New York mayoralty race, when | Results 4 ® DABAT E T ®GONDAR H Lake Tana O 25 .5 75 MILES % 100- .

Canada’s newly-elected prime min- ister, Mackenzie King, plans to éome here Thursday to discuss a reciprocal trade agreement with President Roosevelt and State Department of- ficials. Negotiations were started some time ago, but were dropped during the recent Canadian campaign and elections. King is reported to be favorably inclined towatd a new trade treaty.

Mullen said the delegates are “hand- picked” now. Roosevelt (Continued From Pirst Page.) Helm, Mrs. Roosevelt's social secre- tary, neither of whom had ever cast a ballot in an election in their life. While casting his ballot today the President also enrolled to vote in next year's primaries and the presidential election in November, 1936. Mr. Roosevelt has been taking a keen interest in the campaign since coming here and has held frequent long-distance telephone chats with Postmaster General Farley, who, as Democratic State chairman in New York, is in personal charge of the party’s battle. Mr. Roosevelt has suc- ceeded beautifully in saying nothing for publication that might be inter- preted as being intended for political purposes, He has carried on a hands- off attitude. But, realizing that the fight on the New Deal in his home State is of national importance and will likely have a tremendous bearing upon his 1936 campaign for re-elec- tion, he is anxiously looking forward to the verdict of today's balloting. Worried About Kentucky. As for the balloting in other parts of the country, the President’s friends here are worried about the prospects of electing a Democratic Governor in Kentucky. At least they feel that the split among the party leaders in Kentucky has hurt the chances of Lieut. Gov. U. B. Chandler, the Dem- ocratic candidate for Governor. How- ever,mo one of these friends was pes- simistic enough to predict outright the election of a Republican Governor. President Roosevelt and his friends are hoping that the Democrats in Pennsylvania will succeed in electing a Democratic mayor in Philadelphia. They have received encouraging re- ports, but are not at all sanguine that Senator Guffey, Democratic leader in Pennsylvania, and his emboldened Democratic followers will succeed in making political history to the extent of electing a Democratic mayor in Philadelphia. The last time this was accomplished was in the early sixties. As for the President’s home county in New York, there seems to be very little likelihood of Democratic success. This county is overwhelmingly Repub- lican. In certain townships of the county, especially in Poughkeepsie, there are hot fights for local offices, and in some of these the Democrats are hopeful of victory. The Associated Press has arranged to supply the election returns at the executive office in Poughkeepsie to- night. These bulletins will be relayed Fiorello La Guardia was elected, and the senatorial races in Californis, Minnesots, Wisconsin and Maryland. by Stephen Earley of the White House secretariat, in charge of the office, to the President by telephone. of rain and the need to build supply reported near Agula.
