News Review of Current Events the World Over Hundreds Perish in Hurricane That Hits Florida?Liner Stranded on Reef?Italy Accuses Ethiopia Before League Council. By EDWARD W. PICKARD C Western Newspaper Union. FLORIDA was the victim of another terrific hurricane that swept up from the Caribbean across the keys rnd the southern end of the state, then along the west coast and Into Georgia. The total of fatalities was uncertain but at this writing the num ber of dead Is estimated at more than 500. Of these perhaps 300 were war Teterans In labor camps on the keys where they were employed In construc tion work. All buildings on many of the keys were demolished and a relief train that had been sent to take the Teterans away from the danger zone was smashed to pieces. The survivors on the islands were without shelter, food and medical supplies, but relief expeditions were quickly sent by the Red Cross and other agencies. The towns along the west coast re ported extensive property damage. Responding to assertions that the great loss of life In the veterans' labor camps was due to lack of preparation against such a disaster, President Roosevelt ordered a thorough Investi gation by Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hlnes, administrator of veterans' affairs. Harry Hopkins, head of the FERA which set up the camps, also started an Inquiry, and so did the American Le gion. The affair promised to attain the bad eminence of a national scandah Caught In the fury of the storm, the Morgan liner Dixie, from New Orleans for New York, was driven aground on French reef, about 60 miles south of Miami. Her passengers and crew, numbering 372, were In great peril for three days, but various steamers and coast guard cutters rushed to the res cue In response to her SOS call and as soon as wind and seas abated enough all were taken off the strand ed vessel and conveyed to land, most of them to MiamL Passengers on the Dixie warmly praised the gallant work of the ship's officers and crew. OFF the coast of Portugal the Cunard-White Star liner Doric was In collision with the French steam er Formigny and so badly disabled that she called for aid. The British steamers Orion and Viceroy of India went to the rescue and took off the Doric's passengers, numbering 736. The crew remained aboard. The Doric was returning from a cruise to the Mediterranean. Wireless reports said the Formigny was all right DABON POMPEI ALOISI, cold and " sardonic, stood up before the League of Nations council in Geneva and presented Italy's case against Ethiopia, denouncing that empire as utterly unworthy to be classed with civilized coun tries. In addition to his speech, he laid before the council a long memorandum de tailing the alleged con ditions of slavery that still prevail In Ethi opia and the partlcl q ~patlon of Its govern Aloiel ment ,n the slave trade. This memorandum was elab orately documented. Addressing the council, Alois! said In part: "Ethiopia, taking advantage of her position as a member of the League of Nations, sheltered behind the treaty of friendship concluded with Italy in 1928, has since that date multiplied provocations, hostile demonstrations, incursions of pillagers, acts of brig andage, and violence against the peaceful populations of our frontier. "The Ethiopian government does nothing to make itself worthy of belonging to the community of civil ized nations. Even today that coun try has to be represented by Euro pean advisers in order to make Its voice heard in the League of Nations. "The Italian government considers, In these circumstances, that a state such as Ethiopia cannot have either equality of right or equality of duties as compared with Civilized states. To claim that members of the league are required to observe rules of the cove nant in their relations with members who have always and constantly been outside those rules Is contrary to all I the principles of right and Justice." To the press correspondents the baron was even more explicit "You have h-ard the Italian thesis," he ?aid. "That la final. Italy has asked nothing, not even the withdrawal of Ethiopia from the league. From now ?n Italy will play a passive role here. ^ e are not going to discuss anything Wl*h Ethiopia, but we will discuss Ethiopia with the league. "It is up to the members of the , league council to decide whether they want to expel Ethiopia or expel Italy." Ethiopia's reply to Italy was pre sented to the council by Prof. Gaston Jeze, a Frenchman. He protested In a dignified way against the brutal word ing of the Italian statement and told the council If It considered the expul sion of Ethiopia the league would be setting a precedent of Judging mem ber states according to the manner In which they conducted their Internal affairs. Some members might find this dangerous, he said. Jeze ended with a dramatic remind er that time Is pressing and this Is not I the moment for dilatory measures. "The question Is whether there Is j danger of war, and whether there is danger of an early opening of a war of extermination," he said. "That Is the point to which the council ought to direct Its most serious attention." WHILE the European statesman were struggling with the Italo Ethlopian question. Secretary of State Cordell Hull quietly took a hand In tne game, lie did not In any way Involve the United States in the wrangle, but he put an end to the deal, where by Haille Selassie was giving a great devel opment concession to Americans. Officials of the Standard-Vacuum Oil company went to Mr. Hull's office and , auiumeu ownersiijp 01 Secy Hu the grant. The secre tary admonished them that the con cession had been "the cause of great embarrassment not only to this gov ernment, but to other governments who are making strenuous and sincere efforts for the preservation of peace." The oil men thereupon announced their Intention of withdrawing from the deal with Ethiopia, and the big concession sensation was entirely de flated. The British government was especially pleased with this outcome and felt deeply grateful to Secretary Hull. /"> ERALD B. THORXE, chief of the live stock and feed grains division of AAA, says that In order to rectify inequities in corn-hog production It has been decided to permit modifica tion of the base production quotas. The tentative plan is: Each county now has an aggregate base production of corn and bogs which will be l4ft untouched. Within the county bases, however, machinery will be set up, largely through county committees, by which the bases can be altered. Thus the farmer who planted less than normal corn in 1932 and 1933 and has a low corn base can be giv en an increased base. In the same way the farmer who raised fewer hogs for one reason or another In those years than ordinary on a farm of that size may get a larger hog base. For these Increases, however, there will have to be corresponding adjust ments downward for other farmers. PARLY court tests of the Wagner labor dispute; aci may be obtained, for already complaints have been filed with the new labor relations board against two subsidiaries of General Motors and the Portsmouth, Ohio, plant of the Wheeling Steel corporation. The [ complainants are the United Automo- ! bile workers and the Amalgamated As- | sociatlon of Iron, Steel and Tin Work- ! ers. [ JMTED CONFEDERATE VET EUAN'S, In annual session at Am arlllo, Texas, having been assured that the stars and bars would not be banned, accepted the Invitation to bold a Joint reunion on Gettysburg battle field with the Gran J Army of the Re public In 1933. Paul Roy, who extended the Invitation on behalf of Governor Earls of Pennsylvania, told the cod- i federates they would be free to carry tbe flag of the south wherever and whenever tbey pleased. vjO TEWORTHI among recent is deaths are those of Right Rev. Walter T. Sumner, bishop of tbe Epis copal diocese of Oregon, who won fame long ago as a crusader against organ ised vice In Chicago; George C. Han- I son, veteran American diplomat, who shot himself to death on a steamer when returning from Greece; and | Charles J. Vopleka of Chicago, who I was American minister to several Bal- I kan countries during the World war. , r\R. CHAM WEIZMA.NN, veteran ieader of the Zionists, eu elected ; president of their world organization at the nineteenth congress held In i Lucerne. A resolution was adopted ! declaring against "systematic deprive- 1 tlon of the rights of Jews In Germany. | which undermines their moral and ma terial position." The German delegation to the con gress unanimously Toted against the resolution, declaring It did not consti tute a "constructive plan" to meet 1 the situation of Jews In the relch. SIR MALCOLM CAMPBELL, the English speed demon, satisfied his ambition to run his automobile, the Bluebird, at a rate of 300 miles an hour, on a salt track In Utah. As a matter of fact, he covered the thirteen mile course at an average speed of 301.337 an hour or more than five miles a minute. Over one measured mile he ran at the rate of 30L33L D USSIA'S reply In America's protest ^ against the subversive plotting of the Communists In Soviet territory was a rejection and a coldly worded re-assertlon of the old and more than dubious position that the Moscow government Is not and cannot be held responsible for the doings of the Com munist Internationale. This was con sidered for four days by official Wash ington and then It was decided to let the matter drop with another and rather milder warning. The new note sent to Moscow said: "If the Soviet government pursues a policy of permitting activities on Its territory Involving Interference with the Internal affairs of the United States. Instead of 'preventing' such activities, as its written pledge pro vides. the friendly and official rela tions between the two countries can not but be seriously Impaired." SENATOR HUEY LONG crowed ? lot about the success of his one man filibuster which killed the third deficiency appropriation bill, but be uiuii i lu iiis popu larity among the peo ple who looked for ward for help from the agencies that are now hampered by the fail ure of the measure. Besides that. It Is dow admitted that his fili buster rescued the Democratic house lead ers from a tight place In the matter of the . _ " .. cotton and wheat W.LGranfield loans. Still fnrther. It appears that Huey's domination of Louisiana is go ing to be investigated by a congres sional committee. That committee prob ably will be headed by Representative William L. Granfield of Massachusetts, for be was the author of the elections investigation bill, which was found to contain a little "joker.? This Joker gives the committee such wide powers that It can probe into all the facts con cerning Long's complete control fit elec tion affairs In his state and the meth ods by which he has attained to the position of a dictator there. MRS. ANNA WILMARTH ICKES, wife of Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes, was killed when an au tomobile in which she and three friends were riding was overturned in a ditch at Velarde, N. M. Mrs. Gene vieve Forbes Herrick, well-known newspaper writer; Ibrahim Seyfullah, secretary of the Turkish embassy la Washington, and Frank Allen of Gal lup, X. M? the driver, were severely injured. Allen died later. SENATOR GEORGE NORRIS of Nebraska and Arthur F. Mullen, former Democratic national commit teeman for that state, are engaged In a warm dispute that mag cause con siderable embarrassment for President Roosevelt, friend of both men. Mullen carried to the White House a hot pro test against a J20.000.000 power proj ect which Is sponsored by Norria. He is attorney for two $7,000,000 power plants which already hare been ap proved by the PWA. and be asserts there is no field for the enormous amount of electrical energy that would be developed by the three projects, and probably not enough water for all of them. The first project approved by PWA was at Columbus. Neb, SO miles west of Omaha, and situated on the Loupe river. The second was on the Platte river, 150 miles farther west at Suth erland. Neb. Both were approved In the fall of 133a BOWED down by deep grief, the Bet glan people laid to rest their be loved queen. AstriC who was killed near Lucerne. Switzerland, when the automobile driven by King Leopold swerved from the road and dashed against a tree. Astrid's skull was crushed and she died almost immedi ately Is the arms of her husband, who was cut painfully by the smashed windshield.

BURGESS ANOTHER GAME OF HIDE AND SEEK A ___ VOU remember the game of hide and * seek Danny Meadow-Moose played with Boater Bear? Too remember what a very dreadful game It was for Danny? But hard as It was for Danny, it didn't begin to be as hard as the game LIghtfoot the Deer was playing with the hunter In the Green Forest. In the case of Buster Bear and Danny, the latter had simply to keep out of reach of Buster. As long as Buster ; didn't get his great paws on Danny the latter was safe. Then, too. Danny i Is a very small person. He is so small that he can hide under two or three leaves. Wherever he Is he Is pretty sure to find a hiding place of some sort His small size gives him advantages In a game of hide and seek. It cer tainly does. But LIghtfoot the Deer Is big. He is one of the largest of the people who live In the Green Forest. Being so big, it Is not easy to hide. Moreover, a hunter with a terrible gun does not have to get close in order to kill. LIghtfoot knew all this as he waited for the coming of the hunter of whom Sammy Jay had warned hitn. Be had learned many lessons In the 1 hunting season of the year before and he remembered every one of them. He knew that to forget even one of them might cost him his life. So, stand ing motionless behind a tangle of fallen trees, LIghtfoot listened and watched. Presently over in the distance he heard Sammy Jay screaming, "Thief, j thief, thief!" A little sigh of relief | escaped LIghtfoot He knew that that ?creaming of Sammy Jay was a warn ing to tell him where the hunter was. Knowing Just where the hunter was I made It easier for him to know what | to do. A Merry Little Breeze came stealing through the Green Forest It came from behind LIghtfoot and danced away towards the hunter with the ter rible gun. Instantly LIghtfoot began to steal softly away through the Green Forest He took the greatest care to make no sound. He went In a half cir cle, stopping every few minutes to look and listen ud test the air with Ma wonderful ncee. Can yon guess what LIghtfoot was trying to do? He waa trying to get behind the hunter so that the Merry Little Breezes would bring to Mm the dread ed man-scent. As long aa he could get that seen: he would know where the hunter was thocgh he could neither see nor hear Mm. Id he tad remained ' where Sammy Jay tad found Mm. the hunter might hare come within shott ing distance before Lightfoot could have located Mm. So the hunter with the terrible gun walked noiselessly through the Green Forest, stepping with the greatest care ( to SToId snapping a stick underfoot.
