A4 s BUSINESS PRESSES VIEWS ON BERRY Demands U. S. Drop Emer- gency Functions as Par- ley Continues. By the Associated Press. Demands of an industrial group that the Government drop many “emergency” functions continued to- day as George L. Berry accelerated his movement for a new industrial council to cure business ailments. Many umts of organized labor threw their support to the side of the Presi- dent’s industrial co-ordinator yester- day, while some business -representa~ tives reiterated refusal to name coun- cil delegates, President William Green of the American Federation of Labor stepped into the fray by sounding a ‘“call to industry.” He said 11,650,000 per- sons still were unemployed in October and asked for industry’s co-operation or “soclety will be forced to take some other means” to give them “their rightful chance to earn a live- lihood.” Says Plan in Disfavor. John W. O'Leary’s Machinery and Allied Products Institute still insisted | no major business groups favored the | council. Berry, on the other hand, | declared four new groups wers naming delegates. These he listed as the construction, apparel, corrugsted met- els and wholesale fresh fruif groups. ‘The construction industry’s round- table conference, however, set forth several proposals and contended that five men named to take part in “fur- ther industrial conferences” repre- sented individual viewpoints and not the associations. Among the proposals was one ask- ing that “Federal competition” cease end that many Government functions be_zeturned to industry, = NURSE REPORTED DEAD IN ETHIOPIA Séventh-Day Adventists - Await Word Regarding Miss Esther Bergman.

The belief prevailed Musso- lini would urge his troops to press for- whtd in Ethiopia to lend more weight to- his demands. Although he never has stated definitely, it is understood he seeks a broad strip of land to link Italy's African colonies of Eritrea and Sofnaliland. Prench authorities expressed the view Haile Selassie would be willing to trade part of his landlocked em- pire for the seaport of Assab, Eritrea, under sssurance of continued control oyer the rest of Ethiopia. “The Franco-British program was ft§med not only to end the African ‘warfare, but to liquidate finally the European crisis arising from the con- | filet, as well.

In that year, Britain sent armed forces to protect British- French dual control. In 1914, Egypt quickly joined allies; London pro- claimed country ‘“protectorate,” pledged defense.

Present disorders grew out of pro-British action of government against Italy. (Copyright, 1935, by the Assoclated Press.) CAIRO, December 11.—The cabinet of Premier Tewfik Nessim Pasha, un- der Nationalist pressure to end British influence in this nominally independ- ent kingdom, decided today to resign. The resignations will be submitted to King Faud tomorrow and it was understood authoritatively the King would accept them. Immediately after the cabinet’s de- cision was reached, the premier, ac- companied by Mohammed Machmud Pasha, leader of the Liberal Constitu- tionalists, went to the home of former Premier Nahas Pasha, chief of the powerful Ward (Nationalist) party. Unite to Curb British, ‘They held a council of peace, draw- ing up plans to present a united front in seeking changed British influences in Egypt. This was the first meeting of the triumvirate, whose members have long been bitter opponents. The cabinet's decision to resign was reached when the premier, after an interview with Sir Miles Lampson, British high commissioner, reported the British declined to permit Egypt to return to its 1923 coustitutional government. Political observers asserted the resig- nation placed King Fuad, known to be strongly pro-British, in an em- barrassing position, Convention May Be Called. It was believed Tewfik Nessim Pasha, who formed a stop-gap govern- ment representing no party after the constitution was suspended, would call a coavention of delegates from all Egypt to guide him in formation of a new cabinet. The convention also was expected generally to plan a campaign for a “national party.” Recent anti-British disorders sub- sided in Cairo yesterday, except for minor, widely-scattered clashes between police and the Nationalists.

Line of Attack Halted. Chief Justice Hughes held Reed could not argue that point, because it was not his function as “friend of the court.” The Government, not a party to the suit, entered the case on the “friend” basis. | The Solicitor General then attempt- | ed to argue that the barrenness of the record in lower courts precluced the justices from deciding the issue. He had just started when he became ill. Questions asked earlier by Justices | Stone, McReynolds and Van Devanter | indicated the point as to whether the legislation applied only to interstate commerce would have an important | bearing in the final decision. While Henry Eastman Hackney, Uniontown, Pa., attorney, was arguing for Moor, these justices asked spe- cifically whether the lexislation ap- plied to transactions within a State. “It does,” the attorney replied. His colleague, Thornton Hardie of El Paso, argued the legislation vio- lated State rights. —_—— ASKS BIRTH CONTROL AID Physicians should be allowed by law to disseminate birth control informa- | | tion, according to Dr. Prentiss Willson, | secretary of the National Medical Committee on Federal and State Con- traceptive Legislation. | Speaking before the first of a series ; of weekly luncheons under auspices of | the National Committee on Federal | Legislation for Birth Control at the | Women’s City Club, Dr. Willson charged that present legislation pro- hibiting birth control information was “absurd.” Property Owners’ Jail Board - Payment Urg Property-owning Washington resi- dents sentenced to District penal in- stitutions will have to pay “board” for the period of incarceration, under terms ‘of legislation recommended to the Commissioners today by the Board of Public Welfare. Acting for the board, Welfare Di- rector Elwood Street attached to the proposal a copy of a recently-enacted Michigan statute making such a pro- vision for reimbursement of the State for the cost of maintaining property- owning prisoners. Commissioner George E. Allen, to whom the suggestion was sent, re- leased it with the statement he would study it before taking any position. ‘The, Welfare Board, as the result of actions at its November meeting, &b the front.

He was largely responsible for influencing the gift of the hospital to the Adventists by Emperor Haile Selassie. He also used his influence to secure three other hospitals for his organization in Ethiopia. Dr. Nicola has been in Ethiopia for a year and is the surgeon for the hospital.

WITH EMPEROR HAILE SELAS- SIE AT DESSYE, Ethiopia, December 11 (#).—Technical experts who exams= ined bombs dropped in Italian air raids at Dessye last week said today Emperor Haile Selassie probably owed his life to the fact that many of the projectiles did not explode. They stated that the Italians let loose & dozen or more 250-pound bembs in the compound of the old Italian consulate, where they appar- ently believed the King was staying, and that 10 of them did not go off. Incendiary bombs took greater effect. Three wrecked and burned an American hospital, while two others, which fell near this correspondent, set fire to a nearby Red Cross tent. Most of the damage, experts pointed out, was suffered by the straw huts of the natives. Not & single soldier was killed. The 350 persons who were killed or wounded were non-combatants, in- cluding women and children, BADOGLIO HALTS ADVANCE. WITH THE ITALIAN TROOPS AT ADIGRAT, Ethiopia, December 11 (#).—Marshal Pietro Badoglio has halted the Italian advance into Ethi- opia along the present Makale-Dolo line on the northern front until sup- ply and communication lines from Asmara, Eritrea, can be overhauled. ‘When the Fascist forces move again each column will be a spear leveled at Amba Alaji, 40 miles south of Makale, where an Italian army was routed 40 years ago. 1t will be a sentimental march of revenge. It will also take the army well down the road to Dessye, 175 miles south of Makale and one of the major Italian objectives. Around Makale itself the Italian forces are concentrating on building roads and bringing, up supplies. A point has been reached where the 200 miles of roads between Asmara, Makale and the forward points of the organized area must be overhauled thoroughly.
