LOUCEDEELAED CHANENG ACTCS Tension in Mediterranean Is Seen Lessened by French Warning. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 30.—Informed sources said today that a French warning to Italy against any unpro- voked aggression upon Great.Britain's Mediterranean fleet has definitely lessened international tension. It showed Il Duce, these sources asserted, exactly where the nations of Europe stand—and France at the side of Britain. As a result, they continued, Mussolini has “changed his tune.” ‘Want Peace Door Left Open. British cabinet ministers, anxiously watching every move in the interna- tional crisis, were represented as feel- ing strongly that support should be given to further collective action by the League of Nations to end the Italo-Ethiopian war. At the same time, they want the door kept open for peace negotiations with Ttaly. Canada’s proposal to add oil to the League of Nations saictions list dominates the international scene. Military authorities agreed that if the embargo were made effective, it would end Italy’s mechanized warfare in East Africa. If the United States is included, oil-producing countries represented as ready to impose an embargo account for 160,000,000 out of a world output of 202,000,000 metric tons in 1934. Six Shield Intentions. Oil-producing countries which are already implementing the embargo on key products, but have not yet ex- pressed their intentions regarding oil, are Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, the Dutch East Indies, Persia and Poland. ‘The only oil-producing countries of the League which are not implement- ing the League embargo on key products are Venezuela and Peru.

Ethiopian Motor Column Destroyed ! He Reports. ROME, November 30 (#).—Bom- bardment of Ethiopian fortifications at Daggah Bur on the Southern front, and destruction of an Ethiopian motor | column were claimed today by Marshal Pietro Badoglio in his first report from the front. The new Fascist commander-in- chief stated the air-bombers had taken off from a new aviation field at Gor- rahei, a town which the Ethiopian gov- ernment has asserted the Italians had evacuated. Ten Ethiopians were killed in a skirmish in the north, on a range west of Gagheba torrent, Marshal Badoglio also asserted. (At Addis Ababa the government de- clared tribesmen had attacked and routed an Italian column east of Mount Mussa Ali, which is near the intersection of the borders of Eritrea, French Somaliland and Ethiopia. The anouncement said 183 Italians and 20 Ethiopians were killed.) TEMBIEN TAKEN BY ITALY. Ras Seyoum Harries Flank of Invading Columns, MAKALE, Ethiopia, November 30 (P).—Practically the whole of the difficult and mountainous Tembien region of Northern Ethiopia, which was the stronghold of Ras Seyoum, northern commander for Haile Selassie, today was in Italian hands. Three complete divisions and three light Italian columns penetrated the Tembien area. Ras Seyoum’s men continued to harry the Fascist flanks and rear. Despite the fine combing of the territory by Italian patrols, the mountainous nature of the terrain still permits some Ethiopian units to conceal themselves and make sudden attacks upon the advance European troops. y MORROW APPOINTE TO SOLDIERS’ HOME Retired Colonel Is Named Deputy Governor for Three Years, War Office Says. Col. Willlam M. Morrow, U. 8. A, retired, has been appointed by Acting Secretary of War Woodring as deputy governor of the United States Soldiers’ Home for three years, it was an- nounced at the War Department yesterday. Col.

He was awarded the Dis- tmwuhm Service Cross, the Dis- tinguished Service Medal and the Sil- ver Star Citation during the World War. He was born in Niles, Mich., Sep- tember 6, 1866, and enlisted in the 17th Infantry December 31, 1883.

Garner of Illinois U. Urges Change Before Academy of German Law. BERLIN, November 30 (#).—Prof. James W. Garner of the University of Illinois told the Academy of Ger- man Law today the old distinction between neutrality of the state, as such, and neutrality of its citizens should be abolished as “illogical, if not immoral.” ‘The professor of political science spoke at the invitation of the Reich ministry of justice, He pointed out the “chaotic” state of international law respecting rights Upper: School children of Rome, who have enrolled in the search for tin and iron, turn into their teacher the collection of objects they have gathered in their leisure time, as the imposition of sanctions diminished the nation’s supply of metals.

HITLER RUMORED BUILDING FORTS 'Reports Persist “Potato | Cellars” Are Being Built for Use as Barracks. | By the Associated Press. BERLIN.—The same kind of rumors that circulated before the Nazis offi- | cially announced Germsn rearmament | is now current regarding Hitlerite in- | tentions in the Rhineland. They take various forms: That one division of the new army has been designated for later service in the Rhineland. That passes in the Black Forest near | Koblenz and Baden are being forti- | fled. | That “chicken coops” and “potato cellars” are being built in the demili- | tarized zone for later use as barracks | or hangars. That soldiers are being trained in the zone under the guise of policemen or gendarmerie. That Adolph Hitler will announce ‘itbe militarization of the Rhineland as | an accomplished fact in the same way that he suddenly announced conscrip- tion and the possession of air, infantry and sea forces forbidden by Versailles and generally known but previously officially denied. Rumors Are Denled. These rumors about the Rhineland are also denled. Reliable observers say, furthermore, that there is less basis for suspicion with respect to the Rhineland because “that is a compara- tively minor point when something bigger like Anglo-German relations is at stake.” Helping the spread of remarks about the Rhineland is the secrecy of, for example, the semi-official news agency |in reporting the speech of Air Gen. Hermann Goering in dedicating & bridge named for him across the Rhine. The agency’s report was expurgated of references to demilitarization. Go- ering, however, is said to have declared then that “the lamentable part of the Versailles treaty is that the Rhineland remains demilitarized; ip the demili- tarized area there are no soldiers in garrison, but this does not mean that the left bank of the Rhine fails to enjoy security.” The general then said a strong de- fensive force and the new air corps watch over inhabitants of the zone. More Planned. In the 20-odd kilometers between Koblenz and Neuwied, where the new- est Rhine bridge has been erected, there are now five railroad and general traffic bridges, some of them of recent construction. More aré planned. The Nazis say the volume of traffic de- mands such cr 2 Military experts declare that area is of the greatest strategic importance. Another point of some doubt is the statement attributed to Goering at Breslau—the official version of that address also was censored—that Ger- many is working three shifts a day to rearm. Frenchmen Aroused. PARIS (#) —Feverish diplomatic activity in Eastern Europe has awak- ened Frenchmen to the specter of a German-Hungarian-Polish combine to remake the map of Europe. France fears that despite Hitler's pledge Germany will fortify the Rhine- land zone, demilitarized at Versailles, ROBIRABITIRY Christmas Jewelry Shop at the friendly store-— you're always greeted with & smile—with no obligation to buy. Specializing in Perfect Diamonds And All Standard American Watches THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, some time next Spring. German de- nials have not succeeded in squelch- ing the report in France that Hitler's new eleventh and twelfth army corps are scheduled to move into Dusseldorf and Karlruhe early next year. The effect that Germany’s definite departure from the League of Nations will exert on the efficacy of the Lo- carno treaty is another French worry. Treaty Changes Seen. It is agreed that certain changes will have to be made in the treaty, by which France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy and Belgium gusranteed each other’s frontiers following Hitler's de- parture from Geneva. France would like to have a clear understanding with Germany on all | aspects of Locarno pact. Several times Germany has protested that the Franco-Russian accord does not con- form with Locarno, and lately she has held the same thing concerning the Franco-British Naval understanding under the League Covenant’s military clauses. Despite efforts by war veterans and organizations in both countries, the long-awaited Franco-German recon- ciliation is still far ahead, officials say. Winning, He Halts Recount. TROY, Ohio (#).—Joe Kelly, Union Township trustee, used political strate- ‘gY to win back the office he apparently lost by 4 votes in the November & election. He requested a recount in eight precincts. When it showed him a vote ahead in each of five precincts he called off the remainder of the re- count. Since his opponent had not filed a Al request for a recount, Kelly auto- matically won.

C., DECEMBER 1, EXPORTS OF WAR | MATERIALS JUMP / October Figures Show Big Importation of Iron by Italy. By the Associated Press, ‘While administration officials waited to see what __ovember exports figures would reveal, new statistics released yesterday amplified in one respect the large October increase in sales of “war materials” to Italy. ‘The Commerce Department -made known that. shipments of scrap iron and steel to Italy in October—the month marking the actual beginning of hostilities in the Italo-Ethiopian War—totaled 44,301 gross tons, more than half of all European purchases in the United States. ‘This compared with 40,432 tons sold to Italy in Beptember and 18,021 tons in October, 1934. Previously, the Commerce Depart- ment had announced that the dollar value of scrap iron and steel exports to Italy increased to $472,455 in Oc- tober from $179,458 in the same month last year. Large increases in exports of oil, copper, tractors and trucks, air- planes and engines also were reported. Already aware that shipments of various cargoes have been continued to Italy in November in defiance of officlal pressure against all “abnor- mal” trade with either belligerent, the State Department today was compiling daily reports to determine whether October increases ere being main- tained or exceeded. GOLD CLAUSE SuIT DEADLINE IS NEAR No Damage Actions Have Yet Been Filed—$10,000,000,000 in Obligations Outstanding. By the Associated Press. Some legislators are beginning to | think all that talk in Congress last| session about permitting holders of Government gold clause obligations to sue for damages was just wasted effort. Three months have passed and not a suit has been filed. Congress insisted on giving the bondholders until January 1 to sue. The administration urged closing the courts to them immediately, but there were protests in the Senate. The January 1 deadline was a compromise. Only a month remains for bond- holders to file these suits against the New Deal’s decision to pay off bonds in devalued paper dollars instead of the old gold dollar or its equivalent. Treasury officials do not expect many suits, although $10,000,000,000 of gold clause obligations were outstanding when the law passed. Palatinate Has Fruitful Vine.

BOSTON, November 30.—The dead- line of midnight found some 40,000 Massachusetts public and privata school and college teachers tonight sworn to uphold the State and Federal constitutions, a compulsory allegiance to which a few loudly objected. A statute so drawn that numerous rulings were required to clarify it, the State commissioner of education, Dr. Payson Smith, found tonight still further clarificaticn needed to decide if students who taught while studying teaching also were required to pledge | allegiance. The most conspicuous objector to the law, Dr. Kirtley F. Mather, emi- nent Harvard geolcgist, continued “simply sitting tight” in his refusal to subscribe to any teacher’s oath except his owa. Harvard University officials said they would not allow Dr. Mather to teach if he refused to take the pre- | scribed oaths. Dr. Mather, who contended taking the oath transferred to the State power to decide whether he performed his teaching duties satisfactorily, had amended his oaths to include a pledge of allegiance to the Declaration of In- depeadence.

PARIS PREPARES FOR AIR RAIDS Bomb-proof Shelters Con- nected With Subway Being Built. By the Associated Press. PARIS.—Plans for the protection of the civilian population against pos- sible air raids of the future are pro- ceeding swiftly in Paris, with con- struction of the first of a number of huge bomb-proof shelters connected with the Paris subway system to begin shortly. Warning Sirens Installed. ‘Warning sirens have already been installed through the city and have been given tests to familiarize the citizens with the signal which will be given in time of war that an air raid impends. Notices have been posted by the government in the lobbies of business buildings and apartment houses in- structing Parisians what to do in the | event of bombings from the sky, Gas masks are on sale in many stores. During the World War, thousands of Parisians took refuge in subway stations at times of aerial attacks, but the possibility of poison gas bombs being showered on the city in any future war has made the problem of safety more difficult. The first of the new shelters to be built will be 800 feet long and capable of accommodating from 3,000 to 4.000 persons. It is to be equipped with ventilators and air filters designed to keep out poison gas. Civilians Instructed. Notices posted by the government urge citizens to provide their own havens against attack, in their cel- lars, if possible, and to provide them- selves with gas masks. Four thousand instructors, mostly reserve officers, are giving instructions to civilians in Paris and throughout France on the use of masks and first aid in case of gas attack. More than 25,000 underground | places—mostly cellars of buildings of four or more stories—have been listed as possible refuges. Placards will be posted in each block in the event| |of war indicating the safest nearby cellars. New buildings are required | to be constructed in a manner that will offer special protection. e Turkey’s Population Grows.
