SHOES SHOW BODY OF SLAIN GIRL LAY ON RIDGE 2 DAYS, POLICE ARE TOLD Rust on Tacks in Heels Con- vinces Hicks Corinna Lor- ing Had Been Exposed to Weather 48 Hours. SCRATCHES INDICATE BODY WAS DRAGGED Marks Hint Bride-to-Be Was Killed by Only One Person. Man's Glove Also Re-exam- ined—Type Is Widely Sold Here. Fresh rust on tacks in the shoes| worn by Miss Corinna Loring when she was murdered establishes con- clusively that her body had been ex- posed to the weather 48 hours or more before its discovery last Satur- day, Robert W. Hicks, criminologist working on the murder case, said today. g While Hicks was making further tests of the slain Mount Rainier girl's clothing, Police Lieut. Joseph W. Itzel of Baltimore was question- ing Miss Edith Tavenner at Upper Marlboro, Md. Miss Tavenner, an| N. R. A. employe, living in the 400 block of G street northeast, was a friend of Richard Tear, the slain girl’'s fiance, but had not seen him for some time, it was said. Hicks' announcement regarding the rust on the girl's shoe tacks was in- terpreted to mean Corinna’s body must have been dragged to Saddleback Ridge, near her home at 3110 Beech street, Mount Rainier, not later than the Thursday afternoon preceding the Saturday on which her body was found. Hicks indicated he is strongly | of the opinion the girl's body was taken there more than 48 hours before it was discovered, Doubt in Time Element. Previously the belief had been ex- pressed that Corinna’s body was not ! there on Thursday. In support of that belief, it was pointed out her clothing apparently had not been ex- posed in Thursday's heavy rain. One | Entered as second ellxs mllter post office, Washington, S. Frees Political Prisoners -13, U. @h WASHINGTON, D. C. As Philippine Rule Changes By the Associated Press. MANILA, P. I, November 15.—The pardoning of 60 political prisoners— the final official act of America’s last Governor General of the Philippines— was disclosed today as the Filipinos took over Government of their own islands. After the inauguration of Manuel Quezon as first President of the com- monwealth, Frank Murphy, retiring Governor General, announced his ac- tion. “I think this will set an example of liberalism to the new government,” he ‘confided to friends. Some of those released were super- stitious members of the Colorum Se- cret Society of Surigao Province in the Southern Philippines, who had been in prison for a decade. A few were Communists, and the remainder Sakdalistas involved in the May 2 uprising in which 60 were killed. PACT WITH CANADA REDUCES TARIFFS ON 700 PRODUCTS U. S. Spurred to Reciprocal Treaty by Threats in Europe and Asia. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. No less than 700 items of Canadian agricultural and American industrial products will benefit by e substantial tariff reduction as a result of the American-Canadian reciprocal trade agreement which is to be signed at 3:30 p.m. today by Secretary of State Canada in President Roosevelt's office. The cabinet will be present. The underlying cause of the hasty | conclusion of this important trade agreement, which is bound to cause a great deal of protest from inter- ested sections in both countries, is the increasingly threatening political situ- ation in Europe and the Far East. resident in the vicinity also told police | he passed the spot where the body was found Friday, and said it was not there at that time. Hicks said there were seven tacks in the heel of the right shoe and six in | the left. The rust on them, he said, could | not have formed in less than 48 hours. He is also making a study of several scratches found on the back of one of the shoes. The presence of these | scratches coupled with the fact mud | nl.lns were found on the left side or‘ the girl's coat leads Hicks to believe | she was dragged by one arm to zha‘ spot where her body was found. The | fact her right arm was extended back | of her head indicates, he said, the slayer dragged the girl by that arm. | The investigator attaches signifi- cance to these facts, pointing out that if two persons had been involved in murder, in all probability one would have carried the girl by her hands and the other by her feet. The presence of the scratches and the mud stains leads him to believe only one person was involved. To Examine Brush, Rocks. Hicks will go to the scene this after- noon and examine the surroundings in an attempt to discover the rocks or underbrush which caused the scratches on the shoes. He also is examining the man’s glove found near the girl's body. This glove, he said, was manufactured by the Hansen Co. and is widely sold in ‘Washington. He said the glove, brown in color, was for the left hand ll’ldj that its lining bore no marks indicating | the owner wore finger rings or similar ornaments. Shortly after noon today, Tear and Corinna’s father, George A. Loring, came to the Upper Marlboro Court House with the dead girl's brother- In-law, Leo Lo Jacono, to talk with Lieut. Itzel. The Baltimore detec- tive said he did not wish to question the three further, but they merely ;moucht him “something I had asked or.™ Miss Tavenner was accompanied to Upper Marboro this morning by her attorney, Darius F. Prince, 700 block of Eighteenth street. After questioning her, Lieut. Itzel intimated he intended to put further queries to Tear. The detective prob- ably will talk further with Tear to check information received from mem- bers of the Loring family and friends of the dead girl. Keys to House Found. It was revealed today that Miss Loring was locked out of the cottage on Beech street which she apparently left in such haste on the night of her disappearance. The girl had two keys to the front door, one of which was found in a bureau drawer in her room and the other in a (See LORING, Page 3.) BARRYMORE FEELS FREE Declares He Is Under No Obliga- tion to Elaine Barrie. NEW YORK, November 15 (P).— President Roosevelt and the Canedian government hope that by reducing | trade barriers between this country and Canada first, and between this country and other nations of South | America later, at least one ‘portion of the globe might become consolidated | into a peaceful and prosperous unit. How important the leaders of both countries considered an immediate conclusion of & reciprocal trade agreement—despite the discontent it will cause in certain interested quar- ters in both countries—can be seen from the fact it took only one week to have the whole thing sealed, signed and delivered. The final draft was discussed in Washington ast Friday between Mr. Roosevelt and Premier King, it was definitely agreed on on Sunday when King left Washington, was submitted to the Candian cabinet Monday and approved by it Wednesday. Prime Minister King arrived in Washington shortly after noon William Phillips, Uadersecretary of State, and Richard Southgate, chief of protocol of the State Department, met him at Union Station. He went immediately to the Canadian Lega- tion to await the formal signing ceremony at the White House.

ELECTION UPHOLDS BALDWIN POLICIES; MAGDONALD LOSES Government Retains Major- ity in Commons With at Least 366. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 15.—Returns from yesterday’s general elections showed the National government re- tained its majority in the House of Commons today, although Ramsay MacDonald, lord president of the Council and the first leader of the National government, went down to defeat. ‘The returns at 3 p.m. showed the National government to hold a ma- jority of 217 seats. ‘The popular vote for the govern- ment at that time was 9,490,191, and against the government, 8,197,475. Out of the total of 615 seats in the House of Commons, the follow- ing were assured: Conservative, 331; National Labor, 8; National Liberal, 26; National, 1. Total government, 366. Labor, 131; Liberal, 17. Total op- Pposition, 148. Independent, 1. Holds 58-Seat Margin. A clear majority in the House of Commons is 308 seats, consequently the National government candidates already held 58 more seats than they needed for that majority at 3 pm. At the same time, Labor party can- didates, with their 131 seats, held more power than the entire opposition owned in the last Parliament. MacDonald received 17,882 votes in Seaham, while his Labor party oppo- nent, E. Shinwell, received 38,380. | Shinwell was minister of mines in the | first government Ramsay MacDonald headed as prime minister. MacDonald | was the first cabinet minister to suffer | defeat. He had held office steadily since 1918. Authoritative quarters said the re- elected government would remain firm in the foreign policies it announced before the general elections, including the application of sanctions against Italy. This was in answer to predictions made before the elections that the government might change its attitude once it ‘was returned to power. How great the majority micht actu- ally be was not shown by these re- turns, although some estimates were that the government might have as much as 200 more seats than the op- position. The last majority for the national government was 412 seats. Defeated with his father was Mal- colm MacDonald, colonial secretary. Eden Wins by Big Vote. Anthony Eden, minister for League of Nations affairs, was re-elected by the huge majority of 24,816. Sir John Simon, home secretary, squeezed back Into his seat by a majority of 642 votes. The Astor clan, headed by Lady Astor, the Virginia-born peeress, had at least three successes out of its six Lal Willoughby de Eresby, Lady Astor’s son-in-law, won in Rutland and Stam- ford.

FIRST TO EXCEED QUOTA IS POST OFFICE UNIT Postmaster General Farley Sends Message of Cheer to Cam- paign Workers. With its campaign period half over the Community Chest today had raised approximately 48 per cent of its minimum goal of $1,877,900. Tabulating latest returns at a luncheon rally in the ball room of the Willard Hotel this afternoon Chest officials announced receipt dur- ing the last 24 hours of $165572, bringing the grand total to date to $899,518. The latter sum represents gifts from 71,897 subscribers. Postmaster General Farley, whose department was the first of the major governmental agencies to exceed its quota in the campaign, today sent to Campaign Chairman William McClel- lan a message of cheer to the workers and asked Chairman McClellan to voice for him an appeal that every- body in Washington join whole- heartedly in the drive for the city’s needy. The Postmaster General ex- pressed the opinion that every citizen should share as much as they are able to in the responsibility of caring for their unfortunate neighbors. Special Unit Leading. ‘The Special Assignment Unit to- day reported a grand total for the unit of $295361 from 303 subscribers, or 51.5 per cent of its quota of $573,000. The Metropolitan Unit reported $102,- 985 from 5914 subscribers, or 44.77 per cent of its quota of $230,000. The Governmental Unit reported $355,693 from 49,091 subscribers, or 52.53 per cent of its quota of $677,000. The Group Solicitation Unit reported $142,668 from 16,180 subscribers, or 36.8 per cent of its quota of $388,000. The Capital Unit reported $2,811 from 409 subscribers, or 28.39 per cent of its quota of $9.900. A Teature of today’s luncheon was the playing for the first time of “The Community Chest March,” composed by Sidney Seidenman, maestro of the Mayflower Hotel Orchestra, who ap- peared at the luncheon with his ors chestra and formally dedicated the stirring march to the Chest. The copy of the composition was handed to Chairman McClellan by the composer. Bishop Freeman Makes Plea. Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Epis- copal Bishop of Washington, made vigorous appeal over the radio last night for a generous community spirit, calling attention particularly to the abandonment by the Government of direct relief. Speaking over Station WMAL, Bish- op Freeman said the 65 Chest agen- cies were selected after careful scrutiny by an impartial jury of prominent business men and women of the city and none of these agencies is of such a nature that it could be supported by taxation. He urged his listeners to forget all bias and prejudice during the period of the Community Chest drive, and merge into a common effort, an effort that sweeps away lines of class, relig- jon and politics. The Chest, he point- ed out, recognizes communal interest instead of individual, and suggested that & text for the drive could well be “None of us liveth to himself.” Drawn Together By Chest. This period might well be looked on as a predecessor of the day when all prejudices would be dissolved and all would come together with a larger sense of community responsibility and solidarity to face communal problems together, even though each practiced his religious rites in his own manner, Bishop Freeman said. As one who has been identified with the Community Chest since its incep- tion he stressed the fact conditions in the fleld of welfare work had been un- economic, disorganized and chaotic, and that the community was sepa- rated rather than consolidated by the many appeals for funds, but that, since the Chest, they were being drawn together and more eminently express- ing the spirit of Christ. All should unite their endeavors, large or small, in this very vitally im- portant matter, the bishop said, and open hearts as well as purses, doing all within the limits of their means for these agencies dedicated to the forgotten men, women and children. $734,641.35 Cellected. from the five soliciting units yesterday showed a total of $173,609.05 from 17,406 contributors. This brings the total to date to $734,~ 641.35 from 53,877 contributors. This amounts to 39.12 per cent of the Chest goal. Maj. Gen. Merriette W. Ireland, 8.

Blame for the move was placed on the Public Utllities Commission for | initiating a move apparently designed | to reduce the net return of the power | company below the present nuonblej‘ 7 per cent. The company's action did not come as a surprise in public utility and | financial circles in Washington, which | heard rumors several days ago that such a step was contemplated. The North American's plan to di- wvest itself of control of its Washington properties proposed the substitution of 1,625,000 new shares of stock for the 65,000 odd shares of common stock in the railway company, which owns the power company. Relationship Unchanged. Announcement of the North Amer- ican’s action was made simultaneously by the Securities and Exchange Com- mission and J. F. Fogarty, president of the giant utility holding company. Fogarty’s statement, however, empha- sized that as a result of the with- drawal of the plan the relationship between the North American and its properties in Washington and vicinity would remain unchanged. Fogarty's statement follows: “On October 31 Washington Railway & Electric Co. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registra- tion statement covering the 65,000 shares of its outstandi common stock and 1,625,000 participating shares representing such common stock. At | the same time, the North American | Co. filed a registration statement with respect to the participating shares ap- plicable to its holdings of common stock of Washington Railway & Elec- tric Co. and in connection with its proposal to sell such participating shares to underwriters for public of- fering. Pepco Receives Letter. “On November 9, Potomac Electric Power Co., principal subsidiary of ‘Washington Railway & Electric Co,, received a letter from the Public Util- ities Commission of the District of Columbia stating that existing facts warrant consideration prior to or at the time of the annual rate hearing, which would ordinarily be held in the near future, of the rate of return al- lowed that company under the exist- ing sliding scale arrangement. In view of the uncertainty thus created, it has been deemed impracticable to proceed with the proposed offering at this time, and an application has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission asking its consent to withdrawal of the registration state- ment. Consequently, the relationship of the North American Co. with the electric and principal transportation utility properties in the District of Columbia and adjacent territory in Virginia and Maryland remains un- ¢ % North American’s plan to move out of the Washington utilities field was attributed by Willlam A. Roberts, peo- ple’s counsel before the Utilities Com- mission, to three motives— 1. To comply with the public util- ities act of 1935, which, however, will not become effective for two years. 2. To release control at a time when there is a good market for the security. It had been estimated that the company would have made ap- proximately $25,000,000 under its plan. 3.

ITALIANS PREPARE 10 0CCUPY HARAR Claim Ethiopians Falling| Back in Disorder Before Southern Advance. By the Assoclated Press. The fall of the svrwflc Ethiopian | city of Harar was reported imminent | by Italian correspondents on the East African front today. After a pitched battle in the Fafan River area, announced yesterday, Col. Maletti’s column in South Ethiopia was engaged in sweeping the region clear of ambuscades and raiders. The Italians said prisoners told Malett! that the soldiers he was driv- ing back were the “flower” of Emperor Halle Selassie’s army. They were said to be concentrating at Jijiga. Guerrillas Delay Advance. On the northern front, Ethiopias’ primitive campaign of guerrilla war- fare, first phase of its defense, devel- oped stubborn resistance to the mod- | ern Italian invasion today, 75 men be- ing lost on both sides after a bitter skirmish. A mobile body of native warriors, enscounced in the heights near Azbi, ambushed the left column of Italy’s| northern army—Gen. Mariotti’s “mys- tery” unit of wild Danakil warriors— and fought a day-long battle before scattering to the south. Only then was the Italian column able to occupy its immediate objective of Azbi, to the east of the main Italian front lines at Makale, with another mountain still separating it from Gen. Ruggiero Santini’s column of Black Shirts. Italians Renew Bombing. An official Italian communique said | 55 Ethiopians were killed and some | 100 wounded; 20 Italian Askari killed and 50 wounded. The Fascist forces replied to the with renewed bombing attacks. One squadron bombed an Ethiopian troop encampment outside Antalo, important market center half way down the line of march to Amba Alaji, 30 miles to the south. The Ethiopian campers—some of them khaki-clad regular troops—ap- parently escaped. Daggah Bur Bombed. The Addis Ababa government re- ported in an official communique that another air raid on the southern front brought half a hundred bombs down on Daggah Bur, midway between Gor- rahel and the vital points of Jijiga and Harar. One priest died, the Ethiopian gov- ernment - communique said, and a church was leveled by fire. This attack on the town 100 miles southeast of Jijiga followed reports that the site had already been occu- pied by Italian advance guards—and a denial by Ethiopia. Neutral ob- servers at Harar said that if Daggah Bur had not already capitulated, its fall appeared imminent.

COMMUNISM RIDER FORCES TEACHERS 10 MAKE PLEDGE, ||{WVGARL DECLARES Rules All D. C. School Em- ployes Must Turn in State- " ments Monthly to Draw Their Salaries. BOARD OF EDUCATION TAKEN BY SURPRISE Law Requires That Instructors Must Vow They Have Not Taught or Advocated Any Rad- ical Theories, but Varied Inter- pretations Had Been Given. All teachers and other employes of the public school system must sign a written statement that they have not “taught or advocated communism” before they may receive a Government pay check, under a ruling made to- day by Controller General 3icCarl. The ruling, served on the Commis- sioners, affects some 4,000 school em- ployes, of whom are about 3,300 teachers. Today's development came at the Leight of the controversy occasioned by the interpretation made by Dis~ trict and school officials concerning the legislative rider attached to the current appropriation act. This for- bade the use of any part of the appro- priation for public schools for the sal- ary of any person teaching or advo- cating communism. Representative Blanton, Democrat of Texas, some time ago demanded that McCarl make such a ruling. Corporation Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman had ruled some weeks ago that under the legislative rider in question, teachers might outline the facts of Communism so long as they did not advocate it or give any shadow of favoritism to that philos- ophy of government. Accepted by Board. That opinion was adopted by the District Commissioners and later was accepted by the Board of Education as its policy. A group of citizens led by Maj. Gen. Amos A. Pries, U. 8. A, retired, has been campaigning to have the ruling upset, contending the inter- pretation was wrong. Gen. Fries’ reaction this afternoon " | when told of the McCarl decision was a hearty “Three cheers for McCarl!” “That’s just fine,” Fries continued. “When the law reads so clearly there’s nothing else to do but observe it. “I don’t see why we should teach communism or any other 'ism in our schools but Americanism. We've got- ten along pretty well on that basis since the Constitution was adopted.” McCarl required that employes of the school system sign a statement that they had not been “teaching or advocating” communism for the months of September and October, for which salaries already have been paid. This was taken to mean that a ques- tion might be raised as to the legality of the payment of the salaries for the past two months if any teacher or other school employe refused to sign. Furthermore, the McCarl statemens of policy said the pledge of not hav- ing taught or advocated communism applied not only to schools, but “else- where.” Ruling Proves Surprise. School officials were taken come pletely by surprise by the McCarl re- quirement, but several board members stated they had requested and obteined legal advice and had approved an opinion as to the effects of the legis~ lative rider. It was recalled that the author of the rider, Representative Cannon, Democrat, of Missouri, who is chair- man of the District Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, declared it had not been intended to ban mere statements of facts as to communism. Representative Blanton, 8 member of the same committee, however, took the opposite view. He declared the rider was intended to prevent any teaching of communism. Cannon was the author of the rider. When informed of McCarl's ruling, Cannon indicated he was surprised, but said he had no comment to make at this time. He explained, however, (See McCARL, Page 6.)
