HGH REPUBLCAN CALL ON LANDON Several of Visitors Have Been Men Closely Asso- ciated With Hoover. By the Assoctated Press. TOPEKA, Kans, December 5—A parade of callers on Gov. Alf M. Landon, at least four of them now or at one time closely associated with Herbert Hoover, had observers guess- ing last night. Some wondered whether & busy week of conferences with party leaders presages formal announcement of & Landon candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. Since Friday no less than six Re- publicans of national prominence have called on the Kansas Governor, men- tioned for the presidency largely be- rause of State governmental economies. To date, however, Landon has avolded the role of a contender for the nomination. He was silent on the week's developments. The four visitors now or at one time close to former President Hoover, enigma of the Republican presidential discussions, are: Mark L. Requa, California national committeeman; Charles Curtis, the Hoover Vice President, and Hoover's running mate in 1932; former United | States Senator Henry J. Allen, & White House adviser during the Hoover regime, and W. M. Jardine, Coolidge Secretary of Agriculture and Minister to Egypt under Hoover. Others who conferred with Landon are John D. M. Hamilton, general counsel for G. O. P. National Com- mittee assigned to party headquarters at Washington, and Edward F. Colla- day; national committeeman for the District of Columbia. There was much informal specula- tion on the angles seeming to indi- cate men close to Hoover might be conferring closely with Landon back- efs., Ben Allen, close friend of the ex- | President, reiterated in California a | statement made many times—that Hoover’s sole interest is in advancing | the welfare of the party. _— War (Continued From First Page.) secrecy on Italy's financial situation, suspending publication of treasury figures, statistics on the public debt and statements of the Bank of Italy against the League of Nations eco- nomic siege. “SUGGESTIONS” GIVEN ENVOY. British Apparently Overbear French Conferees’ Generosity. (Copyright, 1935, by the Assoclated Press.) PARIS, December 5.—Premier Laval gave Italian Ambassador Vittorio Cer- ruti a “set of suggestions” for an Itdlo-Ethiopian settlement, diplomatic spurces said today, representing France and Great Britain's last word before an oil embargo is applied. These suggestions were said to be based principally on an exchange of territories between Italy and Ethiopia, the latter to receive its long-sought seaport and to remain absolutely in- dependent, save for the lands granted to Ttaly. British and French foreign office ex- perts on African affairs, including Maurice Peterson and Count Rene de Saint-Quentin, have been working here on some such basis of negotiations for eventual peace between Italy and Ethiopia. Suggestions in Detail. Then first direct suggestions were reported to include: . L. Cession of a seaport in Italy's East African colony of Eritrea to Ethiopia. 2. A slight change in the frontier between Ethiopia’s Northern Tigre Province and Eritrea, leaving Ethiopia in control of the holy city of Aksum. 3. Acquisition by Italy of Ethiopian territory south of eight degress north latitude, including Ogaden Province, and west to 38 or 40 degrees cest lon- gitude. o THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The Governor refused to give any indication of his or Hauptmann's reaction. “The Governor pointed out that the Court of Pardons is a court of meréy and he believes that every member of the court should hear Hauptmann's story first-hand at the prison, because he cannot be brought personally be- fore the court. “Thus far, the Governor, 8o far as W. & J.

ECLIPSE EXPEDITION TO RUSSIA IS URGED Naval Observatory Head Also Asks Self-Contained Electrical Unit for Werk Here. Recommendation that an expedition be sent to Central Russia to observe the total eclipse of the sun next June was made to the Navy Department to- day by Capt. J. Frederick Hellweg, superintendent of the Naval Observa=~ tory. It is doubtful that any other ob- servatory will gather fundamental data concerning the eclipse, Capt. Hellweg said in his annual report, and so the United States cannot rely on obtaining information unless an expedition is sent from Washington. The eclipse will occur in relatively high latitudes and will be best seen from a point in Central Russia, he said. Capt. Hellwég's report advocated installation of a self-contained elec- trical unit at the observatory here, Relying on electrical service from out« side the observatory in the past has re- sulted in interference with the regular functioning of time reccrding and | other scientific apparatus, he said, His report alsc recorded a striking increase of visitors to the observatory, which, he said, indicates growing pop- ular interest in astronomy. There were 4.461 visitors on 81 nights to view the 12-inch equatorial, exceeding last year's total by 1,193. 711 Twelfth St. Oriental Rugs Will make an acceptable bearer of your Chirstmas sentiments.
