Staking pres- tige on result, former set out to annex Ethiopia; encountered con- demnation of League, dominated by Great Britain. Nations invoke trade bans against aggressor Italy, threatened to extend boycott to oil, most necessary commodity in war plans of Il Duce. Latter promised reprisals. Intentions of France, never in past boldly expressed, have promised element of uncer- tainty, may be deciding factor, as Britain, Italy stand firm. in (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) ROME, November 29.—A new Euro- pean crisis arose today over the League of Nations project for an oil embargo against Italy, with responsible sources asserting Premier Mussolini has evolved a counter-program—including a swift thrust at the British fleet. Responsible persons, not officials but holding high connections, said a fresh conflict—perhaps another World War —would result if the League applied the oil embargo in addition to its pres- ent sanctions to cut short the Italian warfare in Ethiopia. 11 Duce’s program in reply to an oil ban was said by these persons to in- clude withdrawal of diplomatic repre- sentatives from ‘“enemy” countries, resignation from the League and an attack on Britain's Mediterranean fleet by Italy’s aerial “death squad.” These sources said the three-point program was adopted by Mussolini and the Pascist Grand Council at their| November 18 midnight session. Il Duce called a cabinet meeting for tomor- row at 10 am. Italy to Break Barriers. Any war arising from extension of the League of Nations penalties against Italy, responsible sources said, would be a precipitate conflict, with Italy striving desperately to break through the: barriers of the besleging League states. The Italian Navy's aerial “death squad” was reported to be a force of 125 pilots, each carrying a single great bomb in his plane and pledged to dive upon en “enemy” warship, going to certain death. II Duce's decision to employ such tactics, in the event the projected oil embargo was enforced, was said by the unofficial scurces to have been communicated to British Ambassador Sir Eric Drummond here last Sat- urday by Mussolini himself. They said it also was made known to Premier Pierre Laval of France and Foreign Secretary Sir Samuel Hoare of Britain early this week through Italy’s Ambassadors to Paris and Lon- don. (The Rome reports that Mussolini advised British officials of a determina- tion to resist oil sanctions against his mechenized East African warfare with further war moves evoked & quick de- nial from the London foreign office. British officials insisted Drummond’s eall on Mussolini November 23 con- cerned another matter and that sanc- tions were not mentioned. They said Dino Grandi, Italian Ambassador to London, gave no such intimation to Sir Samuel Hoare. French officials re- ported at Paris that Italian Ambassa- dor Vittorio Cerruti repeated to Pre- mier Laval yesterday II Duce’s pre- vious warning that an oil embargo might mean war.) Conflict Seen Delayed. An Italian government spokesman, interpreting the phyase “Oil means war,” said a new conflict might not emerge immediately, but that an oil em.bargo would be “another step which might eventually lead to European hostilities.” Informed Italian sources said it was this program which brought about in- definite postponement of the meeting of the League Sanctions Committee of 18, originally set for today, to con- sider application of an oil embargo. (This meeting was called off at the requesi of Premier Laval, but League officials at Geneva said France was not opposed to oil sanctions, and that they expected a date for application of this measure to be set early in De- cember.) Extending his campaign agaigst the arms, financial and economic sanctions and the embargo on selected key prod- ucts already applied, Mussolini called committees of mothers and widows of World War dead to a meeting in the capital December 1. Fascist organizations arranged nu- merous honors for the women helping to enforce domestic restrictions to combat the sanctions, anticipating that their presence in Rome would emphasize the devotion -the govern- ment expected of all Italians. :Powerful Groups Join.

(Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) PARIS, November 29. — Great Britain was reported by informed sources today to have achieved its long-sought assurance of French sup- port in case of an Italian attack on the British in the Mediterranean. It was stated that Premier Laval, who previously delayed League of Na- tions action on the proposal of an oil embargo against Italy, had given in to the British demand for action on the subject, thereby wrecking Italian hopes for further delay. Yielding to the insistence of British Ambassador Sir George Russell Clerk, these sources said Laval made clear to Ttalian Ambassador Vittorio Cerruti that if 11 Duce did anything “desper- ate” in the Mediterranean, France and other League of Nations powers would stand solidly, unreservedly be- hind Britain. The European crisis arising from Italy’s war in Ethiopia and applica- tion of League penalties against the Fascist nation thus approached & cli- max, diplomatic sources said, reviv- ing hopes Italy might soon be ready 70 corsider negotiating a settlement.

Officials said Cerfuti repeated Mussolini's earlier warning that re- inforcement of the arms, financial and economic sanctions, and selected key products embargo by such new meas- ures might mean war. Laval's request for postponement of Action on the new measures had been based on necessity that he remain in Paris to defend his government be- fore the reconvened Parliament, where he won a vote of confidence yesterday in financial debate. Informed sources reported Laval put an end to sny Italian ideas of further delay on oil embargo action. (League of Nations officials said at Geneva they believed a date for en- forcement of oil sanctions would be set early in December.) Discussion Bases Drawn. The French premier was reported to have told Cerruti also that main bases for discussion of Italo-Ethlopian peace had been drafted by French and British experts, but must be withheld until military operations in Ethiopia cease. Possibilities of ending the East African warfare before Christmas were considered slight in diplomatic circles. A spokesman said the British attributed recent Egyptian rioting.to Italian propaganda and refused to withdraw part of their Mediterranean sea forces, in answer to Italy’s recent recall of some Libyan troops.

By the Assoclated Press. SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Novem- ber 29.—Jesse Livermore, jr. 15, son of the famous Wall Street operator, was probably fatally wounded early today. Undersheriff Jack Ross said | Livermore’s mother fired the shot. The mother was the divorced wife of Livermore, having married him in 1918. They were divorced in 1932. She later married J. Walter bongcope and was divorced from him last year. | She was the former Miss Dorothea Wendt of Brooklyn. Ross said both Livermore and his mother had been drinking. “I was notified of the shooting by Dr. Neville Ussher, who was summoned to the Livermore home by a guest who witnessed the shooting,” Ross said. “I went to the hospital where I ascer- tained that both Livermore and his mother were intoxicated. Argued About Drinking. “Mrs. Livermore was placed under arrest at the hospital with a guard st her bedside. She is still too intoxi- cated to talk. From what I learned in talking to a guest at the home, Dr. Ussher, the mother and her son became engaged in an argument over his drinking. “Mrs. Livermore told the boy she would rather see him dead than drink to excess. The boy then went to a closet, got a .22 rifle, and handed it to her, saying: ‘Well, here you are.’ Mrs. Livermore took the rifle and fired. The bullet entered the boy's chest. His condition is critical and it is doubt- ful if he will recover.” The youth is being attended by Dr. Ussher and Dr. Irving Wills. Fears were felt that the single bullet he re- ceived may have penetrated his liver. ‘The boy's brother Paul, 12, was in a guest cottage at the estate at the time of the shooting, and did not wit- | ness it. ‘The butler also told officers he was not near the portion of the house where it occurred.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, November 29.—The pros- pects for Premier Laval's cabinet to carry out its economy fight against devaluation brightened distinctly to- day after the premier came easily through the left wing opposition's first attack in the Chamber of Deputies. The government won a 345-to-225 vote of confidence soon after the chamber reconvened yesterday, follow- ing a five-months’ recess, on Laval's demand that debate on financial policy be given priority over political con- troversies. ‘While the government’s future re- mained in doubt until the issues of Laval's decree laws and the Leftist fight on “Fascist leagues” could be settled, these difficulties were described in chamber lobbies as less ominous now. Devaluation of the frane, which Laval’s ministers have pledged them- selves to oppose, came up in debate today on the economy decree laws and a balanced budget. Laval's first parliamentary victory was acclaimed unanimously by the French press, but some newspapers hinted that the triumph might be short-lived. Leon Bailby, writing in Le Jour, said: “I feel that the premier’s success is like a suspended sentence. The real battle of the reconvened Parliament will take place on Tuesday, when the deputies debate the issue of the po- litical leagues and Fascist-inclined organizations. “The government will have to choose between its present courageous lead- ership of national affairs or a swing toward the extreme left, where con- cessions are never sufficient to please them. “On this decision will depend the stability or the reversal of the gov- ernment.” Henri Clere, radical Socialist advo- cate of devaluation, said lowering the value of the franc would be a “sad operation but would be payment for ® long series of errors,” during today’s debate.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Novem- ber 29.—Police investigating the mur- der of Corinna Loring had virtually eliminated Victor Harrison Redmond as a suspect today. Redmond, employe of a lunch room on Georgia avenue in Washington, is being held in jail here on a war- rant charging an attempted assault on a Mount Rainier girl.

LAVISH SPENDING ENDED, PRESIDENT ASSURES COUNTRY IN ATLANTA TALK Credit of U. S. Sound, He Declares in Pointing to Decreasing Deficit in Ad- dress Before Southerners. TALMADGE IS IGNORED DURING BIG RECEPTION Roosevelt Says Bankers Told Him Nation Could Bear Debt of 70 Billions—Substantial Achieve- ment of Employment Goal Set Last Spring Is Announced. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. 8taft Correspondent of The Star. ATLANTA, Ga, November 29.— President Roosevelt, in an especially forceful address here today, announced the substantial achievement of the employment goal he set last Spring, and gave assurances that the days of lgvish expenditures had passed, and that the credit of this Nation is sound. Mr. Roosevelt spoke proudly of what he referred to as clear signs of a re- vival of material prosperity. He de- clared that this Government can now |look forward to a decreasing deficit and can be happy in the knowledge that this country—which he said was insolvent when he took office in 1933— is solvent today. Promises Further Improvement. ‘The President, in speaking of better conditions and an improved American life during his stewardship of the Government, @eclared that “if I have anything to do with it, it is going to improve more in the days to come.” This speech, the first one of & ma= Jjor nature delivered by Mr. Roose- velt since his trip to the West Coast last September, was made by him bee fore a tremendous gathering of enthu- siastic Georgians assembled in Tech Stadium. While the President ree frained from indulging in any persone alitles, a considerable part of his ute terances were readily interpreted as being of political significance. Intreduced by Senator George. Senator Walter F. George, Demo- crat, of Georgia introduced Mr. Roose= velt as “the President and the next President of the United States.” “We are demonstrating,” he said, “that a great and diversified nation can use its wealth and resources for the well-being of the many rather than the few. No voice in America is powerful enough to give the ‘com- mand to halt.” The President’s recounting of the accomplishments of his administrae tion and his assurances of the sounds ness of the policies he is following, along with his vision of the future, is accepted by many as an answer to the | eritics of his administration. There | will be many who will read into this speech of Mr. Roosevelt’s today the keynote of his forthcoming campaign for re-election. Presents Comparison. Mr. Roosevelt presented a compari- son between the improved conditions in this country today with what he referred to as ‘“those fools paradise years before the crash came.” He recalled “that orgy of prosperity and wild speculation” and said that | the speculators left the public holding the bag. He recalled that during “that period of false prosperity, when the poorest vied with the richest in throws ing their earnings and savings into a cauldron of land and stock speculs | tion, slum conditions went unheeded, better education was forgotten, usurie ous interest charges mounted, child labor continued and starvation wages were too often the rule instead of the exception. Without going into any detail in this comparison of conditions, the Presi= dent pointed to the fact that at the end of those years America acted be- fore it was too late and that this country turned about and by a sue preme and almost unanimous national effort, started on the upward path again. Mr. Roosevelt then entered upon a brief recounting of some of the major policies of his administr: tion which have contributed to na- tional recovery. Mr. Roosevelt, incidentally, took oce casion m this address to make the STOCKS DEPRESSED BY WAR TENSION Heavy Selling Sends New York Market Down $1 to $3—Real- izing Also Factor.
