ALL OGADEN AREA TAKENBY TALIANS Rome Declares Entire Re- gion, With 80,000 Popu- lation, Held by Graziani. (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) ROME, November 23.—The entire Ogaden region of Ethiopis, with all its population, was announced by the government today to have come com= pletely under Italian control. The Ethiopian chieftains of the southern province submitted grad- ually, an official Italian spokesman said, while Gen. Rudolfo Graziani conducted the campaign out of Italian Somaliland. The spokesman said Italy now has full command of the Ogaden area of 100,000 square miles with a population of 80,000. From the population, he said, 5,000 warriors have been recruited and are now with the Italian forces. Ogaden Rich Region. The spokesman said Ogaden Prov- ince was one of the richest regions of Ethiopia and particularly had many cattle. He asserted peaceful surrender by the population to Italian control con- stituted further important preof that Ethiopia was not a unified empire. An official communique coupled announcement of wholesale submis- sions by native chieftains in Ogaden with reports of minor military op- erations on the northern front. The Italian armies invading Ethi- opia disclosed a “dark horse” column today—a hitherto unpublicized force reported marching across the barren Danakil Desert from Assab, Eritrea, to attack Dessye. Fascist war correspondents said the column left Assab, southernmost coastal point of Italy’s East African colony of Eritrea, few days ago and was nearing Tiradud in the angle between the Eritrean, Ethiopian and French Somaliland borders. A scouting plane accompanying the column was reported to have flown as far as Sardo, Ethiopia, 250 miles southeast of Assab. It is only 200 | miles short of Dessye, field headquar- ters and & major concentration point for the Ethiopian armies. Commanders of the Italian column, correspondents believed, intended to recruit an additional 5,000 men from the fierce tribesmen in the desolate Danakil region to join in the assault | on Dessye. Capture of this vital center would establish the Italian force midway be- tween Makale on the north and Harar on the south. Mopping-up operations persisted in the north, amid continuing guerrilla warfare along the Setit River, north- ‘west of the main front lines at Makale. | Seyoum Menaces Stragglers. | The wary Ras Seyoum, Ethiopian commander in chief in the north, con- tinued to menace stragglers in the mountainous Tembien region just northwest of Makale. Meanwhile; Fascist Italy replied swiftly to British and French rejec- | tion of its protest against sanctions | by enforcing in earnest a Franco- British boycott. Great Britain and France informed Premier Mussolini’s government they would persist in application of war penalties, under their obligations to the League of Natigns, despite Italy’s | note to individual sanctionist nations | objecting to the measures. Riot (Continued From First Page.) for France, cutting short their pro- posed two-week tour of Italy. Mrs. Agnes Moersch and Mrs. Mil- dred Bollman were parked in the car when Paduan students gathered around them hooting. Their hus- bands had gone to a hotel to make Teservations. The youths slashed one tire of their car, deflated the other tires and tore off the flags, the women reported. ‘When Dr. Moersch and Dr. Bollman showed their American passports, the crowd and police alike became apolo- getic. Four American members of the Manhattan String Quartet canceled a Rome concert engagement and hur- ried out of the country November 15 when they, too, were taken for Eng- lishmen and assaulted because they failed to salute a funeral cortege for & Fascist Black Shirt. PROTESTS LEFT TO LONG. ‘The State Department, advised by Ambassador Breckenridge Long of the incident involving Americans at Padua, Italy, left to him today the task of taking any necessary action. No instructions have been sent from here. State Department officials ex- plained the Ambassador would follow the usual procedure of asking the foreign office in Rome to investigate. On the basis of the report the em- bassy would decide whether any rep- Tesentations were necessary. The incident was regarded here as of little importance inasmuch as the reported demonstration evidently was occasioned by the Americans being mistaken for British. The demonstration added new prob- fems, however, for the State Depart- ment in meeting situations arising under the neutrality act. Although the neutrality act provides only that Americans traveling abroad should not use ships of belligerent na- tions, this raised a question as to whether their actual presence in bel- ligerent countries might not be con- sidered by the State Department also to be at their own risk. It was recalled that an effort was made by several Senators in the last session to write into the neutrality act a specific provision that Ameri- cans traveling in war zones did so at their own risk. Neutrality (Continued From First Page.) Government that trading with the belligerents was contrary Yo American policy. Meanwhile speculation arose as to the next step in the neutrality policy. This question was asked without any official answer: Will the administration clamp pres- sure on other forms of business it aids financially, such as banks dnd rallroads? Such a step, it was sald, would in- volve difficulties. For example, it would be hard to determine whether goods in transit on an American rallroad were destined for warring countries. ‘Whether there would be demands in Congress for & bropder embargo was & question prompted by the adminis- What’s What Behind News In Capital Derision Halts Plan to Put Tugwell Workers Into Uniform. BY PAUL MALLON. ROF. TUGWELL is reported now to be engaged in a strong constructive move to whip his army of rural resettlers into an efficient governmental ynit, The first step is reported to have been taken very quietly a few days qgo when he hired a New York designer to create a distinctive uniform for some sections of his force. This big first step was made so softly that the professor's publicity system was not advised of it. Some head men in it professed amazement when the designer walked in to get the feel of headquarters for a few days in order that the new uniform creation might be something really outstanding. Move Dropped Temporarily. An inner R. R. A. commotion some- what akin to a non-social revolution is supposed to have followed, publicity men have no souls, They felt appar- ently that the professor's purpose might be misunderstood. In fact, they counseled against the move so strong- 1y that the matter now is momentarily in abeyance. At any rate, no announcement has been made. There is at least a vague possibility that none will be. In fact, the news might have been lost to the world entirely, if rival designers had not talked and permitted the word to spread to other inside guarters here. from going through with the plan, it will be nothing but the lack of imag- ination among Government bureau- crats and rival jealousy. Inside some other Government bureaus already the R. R. A. inner commotion is known as “the pink pants mutiny.” These smart alecks are erroneously con- vinced such a shade will emerge after the designer gets the feel of the Walsh mansion. Worse are the unthinking enemies of Prof. Tugwell who are more or less laughingly expecting & “red shirt brigade.” This is an equally prepos- terous dig, designed to defeat the project. If Tugwell wanted anything so obvious he would not have sent to New York for expert inspirations. Overall Design Favored. His real friends lean toward an in keeping with the nature of the work. It could be an unostentatious cerulean hue which would enable his field staff to be distinguished easily from the exceptionally poorly dressed |farmers they are uplifting. At the same time it would be relatively easy to pick them off in crowds. As for the professors, his instruc- tions are said to have been generously broad. All he wanted, apparently, was something which would not conflict with the Army, Navy, C. C. C. and Marine Corps. Critics Unimaginative. In all such projects, the men who do things run up against critics who fail to understand the full depth of social undertows. All leaders of men have realized that uniforms make for discipline and morale. And any one | who knows the real situation within the R. R. A. will appreciate the de- sirability of something along that line. Most observers will agree that the professor will make a mistake if he limits the uniforming to a field force. They will demand that he include his various bureauchiefs, clerks and stenographers, although a different uniform may be neces- sary for these. If he wavers there are artistic men here who will demand that the Literary | Digest conduct a poll to show Dr. ‘Tugwell that the Nation is behind him | —away behind. 1S DIFFERENT, ALLRIGHT/ Months ago the New Deal publicity men received an inside order from the top requiring that all speeches made by officials be prepared in advance. The idea was to prevent Government authorities from going around talk- ing extemporaneously. The only important deviation from that order came recently when Gov. Eccles of Federal Reserve addressed the American Bankers' Association. He gave out no speech in advance, spoke from notes. The reasons are supposed to have beem two. He revised completely what he in- tended to say at the last minute, and he wanted no publicity. The results, however, were not sat- isfactory, and the incident is not likely to be repeated.

Japanese Await Answer by Chiang. By the Associated Press. NANKING, November 23.—The offi- clal Central News Agency announced today the foreign office had sent notice to Chinese embassies and legations sbroad that the Central Nationalist government would not sanction the North China autonomy movement. The announcement said the govern- ment was planning measures of its own to meet the campaign for North China secession. Chiang’s Answer Awaited. SHANGHAI, November 23 (#).—A spokesman for the Japanese Embassy said today, “we are interestedly await- ing Chiang Xai-Shek's response to the northern desire for autonomy.” “An order giving northern com- manders increased powers to work out their own self-govenfnent methods might satisfy the autonomy leaders, but we would not tolerate any med- dling not to the best interests of ‘the northern people,” he asserted. The spokesman said Chiang, mili- tary overlord of the Central Chinese government, was likely to act on the North China problem after the close of the Kuomintang (Chinese Nation- alist party) Congress, now nearing adjournment at Nanking. The congress voted today to increase the efficiency and strength of the reg- ular army and to improve civil mili- tary training “until China feels secure.” Concentration Reported. PEIPING, November 23 (#).—Forces of the Japanese army were reported in various quarters last night to be concentrating along China’s Great Wall coincident with renewed agita- tion for the autonomy of North China. Chinese sources expressed concern at what they said was the massing of Japanese cavalry and infantry troops 70 miles north of Peiping. The latest concentration was said to be at Kupeikow and to be receiving rein- forcements constantly. Tokio Cabinet Split. ) TOKIO, November 23 (#).—Japan’sy| minister of war and her foreign min- ister debated opposing views on au- tonomy of five provinces in North China before the cabinet yesterday while Tokio diplomats insisted the separatist dispute was “a matter of Chinese politics.” Political experts, who said the life of the present government might de- pend on the autonomy discussions, asserted the cabinet debate involved the issue between a strong army ele- ment, which is insisting that plans for secession of North China be car- | ried out, and civilian leaders who | temporarily have restrained the Japanese military in China from en- | forcing the separatist movement. The foreign minister generally was expected to support & compromise suggested by Akira Ariyoshi, Japanese Ambassador to China, which would | permit the Nanking, or Chinese cen- | tral government, to retain much au- thority in the disputed area.

Comparisons Studied. “I have, during my service in the Seventy-third Congress and the Seventy-fourth Congress, been as- sembling dats and making observa- tions and comparisons and I find that our Federal Government is tak- ing advantage of the citizens of the District of Columbia in the appor- tionment of the expenses incident to the payment of the costs of the gov- ernment of the Nation’s Capital. “I am astounded and greatly sur- prised to find that the citizens of the District of Columbia face an $8,000,000 tax levy increase. I am greatly sur- prised to find that the citizens of the District of Columbia have had prac- tically no opportunity, by ballot or otherwise, to express their views or determine the basis upon which they are to be taxed. This surprise is fur- ther amplified by the action of the District of Columbia Commissioners in the appointment of a special com- mittee composed of six minor officials, who hsve been making a study of the fiscal relations of the District of Co- lumbia without the aid or assistance of the taxpayers of the District of Columbia. “Realizing that the Commissioners of the District of Columbia are having difficulty in reconciling the increase in the cost of the governing of the Na- tional Capital with the shrinkage in the Federal share of that cost, I am nevertheless greatly alarmed and dis- turbed over many complaints that Itvin S.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., November 23.—Sticking up their heads just long enough to announce there’d be no Nobel Prize for 1935, the judges ducked right back into the sub-cel- lar, out of the way of brickbats on si- multaneously in seven major cities on four continents, which comes pretty close to being almost all the conti~ nents we have, But before withholding the award, why didn’t the judges take a quick glance in the direction of Greenland?

Without casting any reflection upon the officials who are making the fiscal study (and I regard them as hard- working and loyal public appointed servants), I believe that it is impera- tive and necessary that proper and ample representation on the com- mittee should be given those upon whom the taxes will fall and who must bear the burden. “Since it will be my duty as a mem- ber of the District of Columbia Com- mittee of the House of Representa- tives to pass on this recommendation of the fiscal committee, I desire to have before me at the earliest possible mo- ment a formula of the deliberations and activities of this committee to date.

It is my contention that the citizens of the District of Columbia should not be foxgotten in this matter, by the appointed governing officials of the District of Columbia in initiating new taxes and therefore compelled to come to the Congress with their original protest. “I feel, and I believe that I voice the opinion of many members of the Congress who are greatly interested be on this committee as many tax- payer citizens as there are appointed officials. “In conclusion, I feel that a great responsibility rests upon the Congress in according justice to the citizens of the District of Columbia. The lack of representation in the Congress and the ignoring of the rights of the citizens in setting up formulas for determining taxation seems to be not in accord with the ethics of the pre- sent administration whose great leader, Thomas Jefferson, said, ‘No government has a legitimate right to do that which is not good for the governed.” “With this thought in mind, and knowing your loyalty to that admin- istration, it is hoped that you will without delay take the necessary steps to give the citizens of the District of Columbia the proper rep- resentation on this committee in order that your joint conclusions might come to the Congress with full sup- port and approval of the citizenship of the District of Columbia.” 10 NAVAL PARLEY ADVISERS CHOSEN Technical Staff to Sail for Lon- don December 3 on Man- hattan.

That same convention adopted a resolution favoring industrial unionism in mass production industries, but added a stipulation that craft unions should be protected in those indus- tries.

He was said to regard this as “political suicide.” These intimates referred to past statements by Borah in which he con- tended the party was doomed unless it cut away from those who have helped finance it in the past—a group Borah describes as “special interests.” Just a year ago, Borah called for a “revolution” to rid the party of Old Guard control.

LAVAFROM HILD Method Is Considered as Sightseers Throng Area to View Volcanic Show. By the Associated Press. HILO, Hawall, November 23— Mauna Loa spewed flery lava with undiminished fury today, attracting throngs of sightseers by its spectacular eruption. Five blazing rivers of lava crawled down the slopes of the volcano. One mile-wide stream extended 13 miles down the north side to within 25 miles of Hilo. Its future course depended upon the degree of activity within the crater, but there was little fear it would reach the city, largest on the island. However, should the lava approach too close, Dr. Thomas A. Jagger, Gov- ernment volcanologist, was prepared to divert its flow by blasting. Parties From Honolulu. Parties came from Honolulu, on the neighboring island of Oahu, by air- plane and steamer, with “mattress space only” available on the boats and passengers sleeping on deck. ‘The molten lava threatened a deso- late country between two big ranches, Nothing could yet be told as to its final course, but there was no imme- diate threat to the Humuula sheep station nor to important trails. This correspondent flew over ths volcano yesterday in a Navy airplane, and a wall of solid flame, 500 feet wide, 1,000 feet long and 200 feet thick could be seen burning fiercely in the crater a mile away. Fiery fountains played within the crater, while not far away snow covered a large area of the mountain top. Dr. Jaggar said he was unable to tell how long nature’s spectacular show would continue, but said “erup- tions during the twentieth century usually don’t last more than three ‘weeks. Nineteenth century eruptions in this region have lasted a year.” Kiluea Not in Action. ‘The volcanologist said the Halemau- mau crater of the Kiluea Volcano, about 15 miles east, was not active, but there was nothing to prevent it from erupting from the force of Mauna Loa’s activity.

Thick overhanging clouds made the eruption invisible from Hilo yester= day, in contrast to the vivid display of the previous night.
