The Alamance Gleaner VOL. LXII. GRAHAM, N, C., THURSDAY MAY 14, 1936. NO. 15 v wv Uv ^mneur By Edward W. Pickard ? Western Ncuitaper Union Italy Takes Addis Ababa; the Emperor Flees ? * EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE of Ethiopia gave up the hopeless .light against the Italian Invaders and tieJ from Addis Ababa with his family. Haile Selassie Mussolini's victorious troops soon after marched Into the cap ital, the first to enter being a picked regi ment representing all units of the Italian army, the Askari, in fantry, artillery, air force, engineers, gren adiers, bersaglieri, Al plnl, cavalry, marines and Fascist militia men. Their coming was welcomed by the foreigners who remained in the city, for as soon as the negus left, the na tives began to pillage, plunder and turn. The business center of the town was speedily wrecked and the government buildings were stormed and ruvtrged, these including the treas ury from which the state's store of gold was stolen, and the armory. The streets were strewn with corpses and the Ethiopians, crazed by liquor, rushed about shooting at random and gathering up their loot to carry It to the hills. Only one foreigner was reported ltilled. That was Mrs. N. A. Stadin, American wife of an Adventlst mis sionary, who was struck by a stray bullet. Nearly all other foreigners were gathered in the well fortified British legation, but American Minis ter Cornelius Van H. Eggert with his wife and the male members of the staff remained in the American com pound. Tbey were armed only with rifles, and pistols and -were under or ders from Secretary of State Hull not to risk their lives uselessly; but they were determined to hold the legation and radio' station as long as possible. This plucky little group was attacked Tepeatedly by marauders but repulsed all onslaughts. Mr. Engert was In wire less communication with^ Washington. The British le?-at'on offered to send a detachment of Sikhs to escoYt the Americans to the British compound, but Mr. Engert declined to leave his legation at that time. Next day he and his staff evacuated the compound. Haile Selassie went by train to Djibouti. French Somaliland, and was received with all honors at the gov ernor's palace. He and bis family boarded the British cruiser Enterprise and sailed for Palestine. So ends the military part of Mus solini's African adventure, a success despite. the opposition of the League of Nations and the Imposition of eco nomic and financial penalties. The du?e announced the victory to his country from the chamber of deputies and there was wild rejoicing through out Italy. It is taken for granted Mus solini will set up an Amharlc state In part of Ethiopia under a puppet em peror. Vandenberg's Nam: Is to Be Presented SENATOR ARTHUR H. VANDRN RERG of Michigan has asked Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald of that state to present his name to the Republican convention in Cleve land for the Presiden tial nomination, but the senator Insists this does not make him an actire candi date. "The Michigan state ?convention generously Instructed the Michi gan delegation In Cleveland to present my name," the senator ? - ? ?sakh-?Bt>t H>e-<Je?eg? tion Is unpledged? at _ Senator^ Vandenberg my request. It li tree to vote as It pleases. 1 have not sought a delegation here or elsewhere and 1 shall not do so. 1 have not sought the nomination and shall not do so. My situation la not changed in the slightest." Friends of Senator Borah In Utah tried unsuccessfully for a Borth Wedged delegation from that state. 1 be Jtepnbllcan state convention in Ogden voted to send an uolnstructed group to Cleveland, following tbe recommenda tion of tbe resolutions committee. Tbe Arkansas delegation also will be onlcstrocted, tbougb tbe state con vention approved an "expression of goot. will" toward Gov. Alf Landoo. Col. Henry Breckenrldge, who offered himself to tbe Democrats as a Presi dential nominee aspirant merely so that disaffected members of tbe party might' hare mm place to go, received about one-seventh of the votes Id the Maryland preference primary. Tbe rest, of course, went to Mr. Roosevelt. Breckenrldge made no campaign. Radicals Control French Chamber oi Deputies FINAL elections In France put com plete control of tbe chamber of dep uties In tbe bands of tbe revolutionary "Popular Front," a coalition of Com munists, Socialists, Radical Socialists and minor left wing groups. Tbe new chamber does not meet until June, and the confusion Is so great tbat there are fears of chaos and financial panic In the Interim. Many believe the Popular Front will be unable to form a stable government to succeed that of Premier Sarraut. The. lead must be taken by the Socialists, for they now form the largest group In the chamber with 146 seats. The Radical Socialists have 115, the Communists 72 and minor left parties 44. Tbe National bloc. Includ ing center and right parties opposed to tbe leftists, have 236 seats. Senator Hastings Will Not Seek Re-election Daniel o. Hastings, senator from Delaware, chairman of the Republican senatorial campaign com mittee and outspoken opponent ?f the Sen. Hatting* ?ew ueai, win not seek re-election when his present term ex pires. He so an nounced In a letter to the party leaders of his state, giving as his reason the neces sity to devote himself to his law practice. This may have Influ enced his decision, but It is more than sus pected that the real reason was tne fact that the du Pont family, all-powerful In Delaware Re publican politics, bad decided that the senatorial seat should go to Got. C. Douglas Buck, who Is related to the du Ponts by marriage. Senator Hast ings bas always been ready and elo quent In defense of the du Ponts against attacks by the New Dealers. Navy Expansion Measure Passed by the House OINCE International naval disarma ^ ment efforts have failed, those who advocate adequate national defense re joice In the passage by the bouse of the bill appropriating approximately $531,000,000 to build our navy up to treaty strength. Representative Marc antonlo of New York and a few others put up loud opposition, but a record vote was not necessary. The objectors dwelt especially on a clause authoriz ing the laying of keels for two 35,000 ton battleships after January 1, 1937, should any foreign signatory to the London naval treaty start a battleship replacement program. Two days later they might have read dispatches from London saying rumors had reached there that Japan was considering lay ing down a 55,000 ton battleship armed with 21-Inch guns. Business Men Differ With Mr. Roper DANIEL C ROPER, secretary of commerce, appeared before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States at Its annual meeting In Wash Inntnn an/1 Q'Q moH Its members, most of whom are persistant critics, of New Deal policies, that anless private enterprise takes up the slack In employment, business must pay the relief bill out of earnings. "R 1*' tire responsi - bility of all business and Industrial enter prises, said Roper, Sec. Rop?r "and not of one particular segment or the government to Increase ita efforts for greater employment If ? substan tial measure of Increased reemploy ment does not take place the taxation for relief purposes will come largely from business earnings. There must be re-employment or a longer period of Increased taxation." Various members of the chamber re plied spiritedly.' Roy C. Osgood, Tlce president of the First National bank of Chicago, predicted that If tbe ad ministration embarked on a sound fis cal program that would Inspire confl dence, business would make rapid strides toward recovery. He criticized tbe pending tax on corporate earnings aa Impracticable and a brake oa busi ness expansion and stability. Huge New Tax Measura Rushed Through House WITH qptraordlnary speed which tbe opposition considered Inde cent. the administration's new $803. 000,000, revenue bill was pushed inrougn roe home. The vote, 2G7 to 93, was almost strictly along party line#. The roll call showed 82 Republicans and only 11 Democrats voted against the measure, while four Republicans deserted the minority to cast their lot with the administration. The bill was banded to the senate whose Sen. Harrison finance committee, beaded by Pat Har rison, had been studying It In secret cessions In order to be prepared for the public hearings that opened two days after the house had acted. There had been predictions that this commit tee would modify the measure radical ly, but the opposition to It In Demo cratic ranks seemed to have faded away and Its passage by the senate without material change was deemed probable. As passed by the house the bill pro Tides : 1. A graduated tax on corporation Income which. It Is estimated, will force distribution of $3,100,000,000 more In dividends and yield the gov ernment an additional $620,000,000 an nually. 2. A "windfall" tax on unpaid or re funded processing taxes Imposed under the Invalidated AAA, which la expect ed to yield $100,000,000. 3. Continuation of the capital stocks and excess profits taxes for six months to yield $35,000,000. 4. A refund of $35,000,000 to proces sors who suffered financial losses un der the old AAA. Hagood Holds New Command One Day, Then Retires *4AJ. GEN. JOHNSON HAGOOD, i'l assigned to the command of the Sixth corps area with headquarters at Chicago, held the command only one day, as a matter of form, and then at bis own request was relieved of the assignment and retired from active service. He said be would remain In Chicago several months to do some special work for a mall order houae and then would select a permanent res idence and write a book telling "how the United States can get a very much better national defense at very much less cost to the taxpayer."

BURGESS BILLY MINK BECOMES SUSPICIOUS OF ALL the little people In the Green Forest there la none with sharper eyes, and keener wits than Billy Mink. Nothing goes on along the Laughing Brook, from Its start In the ? (Jreen Forest to where It Joins the Big River, that Bill; Mink doesn't know about Bill; Is a great traveler. He Is so full of life and energy that he cannot keep still very long at a time. Moreover, Billy is one of those little people to whom It makes no dif ference whether Jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun Is shining er gentle Mistress Billy Mink Followed th? Man Down the Laughing Brook. Moon has taken his jlace up In the sky, or the Black Shadows have wrapped everything In darkness. He takes a nap whenever he feels sleepy, j and whenever b j doesn't feel sleepy he travels up and down the Laughing Brook. In these little Journeys back and forth nothing escapet Billy's bright eyes and sharp cars and keen nose. Being such a slim fellow be slips In and out of boles and hiding places which no one save his cousin, Shsdow the Weasel, could get Into. 1 Now It happened that one day Billy ANNABELLE'S ANSWERS By RAY THOMPSON DEAR ANNABELLB: ARK THERE ANY RULES FOR COMPOSING A ?SAFE" LOVE LETTER? CAUTIOUS. Dear "Cautious" : SURE {MERE LY CHOOSE YOUR SUBJECT AND THEN CAREFULLY AVOID IT! iMlllIU, curled up lo a hollow log under a pile of brush close to the Laughing Brook. In a Jiffy he was asleep. Right In the middle of the pleasantest of pleasant dreams he was awakened. Instantly he was wide awake. He was Just as wide awake as If he hadn't been asleep at all. Without stopping to think any thing about It, he knew what had awakened him. Some one bad Just passed his hiding place. Noiselessly Billy crept out of the hollow log and peeped from under the pile of brush. Walking down the bank of the Laughing Brook was a man. "I've never seen that fellow before." muttered Billy to himself. "It Isn't Farmer Brown's Boy, and It Isn't Farmer Brown. He seems to be look lng for something. 1 wonder what he is about. I think I'll watch him." So, as silently as a shadow, Billy Mink followed the man down the Laughing Brook, and the man didn't once suspect it You see, Billy can al ways find a hiding place If It be no more than a heap of brown leaves. He just slipped from one hiding place to another, always keeping the man In sight. Billy became more and more Inter ested and Inquisitive as he watched tLat man. The man certainly did seem to be looking for something. He would examine every half sunken log In the Laughing Brook. He searched care fully every little hole. It didn't take Billy long to discover that this man seemed to be especially Interested In those places where Billy almost always went when traveling up and down the Laughing Brook. Billy stopped and rubbed his nose thoughtfully. He was growing sus picious. 4,I wonder," thought Billy, "if he Is looking for me." . e> T. W. Burr*?*.? WNU B?rr\cm. ? MOTHER'S ?
