CURRENT Em PUSS IK REVIEW MUSSOLINI CALLS WAR WITH ETHIOPIA UNAVOIDABLE— “REVOLT” IN HOUSE. . By EDWARD W. PICKARD 1 ©. Western Newspaper Union. STANDING atop a cannon, Benito Mussolini told 15,000 Black Shirt volunteers and the world as well that in the matter of Ethiopia, W. P. Georg* “We have decided upon a struggle In which we as a gov ernment and a peo ple will not turn bach. The decision Is Irretrievable.” Unless Emperor Halle Selassie gets right down on his knees to II Duce, the war in his do minion will begin in September when tne rainy season enas. ino one ex pects the “king of kings” to submit tamely, so other nations are ad vising their nationals in Ethiopia to get ont of the country. William Perry George, the American charge d’affaires at Addis Ababa, was au thorized by the State department to advise American citizens to leave, or take whatever other steps he deemed necessary to protect their safety. Nearly all these Americans are connected with Seventh Day Adventist and United Presbyterian missions. Mr. George transmitted to the emperor the rather curt reply of the American government to his majesty’s appeal for aid in stopping Italy. Secretary of State Hull, writing by authority of the Presi dent, told the emperor the United States was “loath to believe” the two countries actually will engage in warfare as they are both signa tories of the Kellogg pact The note also pointed out that the arbi tration proceedings might arrive at a satisfactory decision. The chances that war might be averted by the arbitrators seemed slight Those gentlemen met again at Schevenlngen and their session was disrupted by the Italian repre sentatives when a spokesman for Ethiopia set forth the fact that Ualual, scene of the bloody clash last December, is well within the Ethiopian border. Apparently the British have given up trying to check Mussolini and are now devoting their efforts to plans for getting British and Brit ish Indian subjects out of Addis Ababa on short notice. Troop-car rylng planes at Cairo and cruisers, sloops and troop ships at various near east ports were being made ready for this service. France evidently intends to let Italy go ahead with the Ethiopian adventure, and, like the United States, is not inclined to participate in an economic blockade of Italy such as was unofficially suggested by England. REVOLT in congress against al leged dictatorial attempts of the administration reached a climax when the house, by the decisive vote of 258 to 14S, rejected the “death sentence” In the utility holding com panies bill as passed by the senate and demanded by the President. The rec ord vote came on a motion to substi tute the house bill placing utility hold Rep. Brewtter iag companies un der regulation of the securities and exchange com mission for the senate bill which prescribed the dissolution of the holding companies of more than first degree beginning'in 1940. The adoption of this motion killed the “death sentence.” After substi tuting the bouse bill for the sen ate bill, the perfected measure was passed by a vote of 322 to 81. t Immediately after this action, the house voted unanimously for an investigation of alleged lobbying by both supporters and the foes of the utility measure. During the debate on the bill it was frequently charged that the Capitol was swarming with utility company lob byists, and then came two serious accusations against the other side. Representative John H. Hoeppel of California, Democrat, asserted an unnamed administration lobbyist had offered to get California’s re lief allotment increased if Hoeppel would vote for the bill as the Pres ident wanted it This didn't greatly impress the house, but later Repre sentative Ralph O. Brewster, Maine, Republican, charged that Thomas O. Corcoran, a young brain truster who it co-author of the admlnls , tratlon bill, had threatened cessa tion of construction of the $87,000, 000 Passamaquoddy dam project in the congressman’s district If Brewster should vote against the “death sentence." Mr. Brewster said he did not be lieve the President was aware that such tactics were being used by • his aids or would countenance . them, and Rankin of Mississippi and Moran of Maine defended Mr. Roosevelt. But the President’s con tact man, Charles West, and Post master Farley’s lobbyist, Emil Hurja, had been ao active amen’ the house members that the resent ment of the lawmakers was aroused and they gladly directed that the lobbying charges be Investigated. CRITICS of the President’s pro gram have made up their minds that he Is deliberately building up a “crisis” which will provide excuse for a demand for. constitutional amendments In the campaign of 1936. Their conviction was strength ened by Mr. Roosevelt’s letter to Congressman Samuel B.-H111, chair man of the interstate commerce subcommittee, urging the passage of the Guflfe^ coal bill regardless of doubts as to its constitutionality. President Roosevelt followed the suggestion of Attorney General Cummings that the legislation should be put through congress be cause “the situation Is so urgent,” and that the question of constitu tionality should be left up to the courts. The President, admitting that coal mining Is In Itself an intrastate transaction, nevertheless wrote that the final test of the validity of the Guffey bill would depend upon whether production conditions di rectly affect, promote, or obstruct Interstate commerce. The Supreme court, In the Schechter NRA case, quoted a previous opinion that min ing, manufacturing, and other forms of production were as local In their character as the production of crops, and hence beyond the reach of congress. THE secretary of the treasury appeared before the house ways and means committee which was trying to formulate the new tax bill wanted by the administration, and declared that, depending on the rates of taxation adopted, the measure might bring in as much as $1,000,000,000 a year or as little as $118,000,000 annually. As the rep resentative of the administration, the young secretary declined to ad vise as to the rates, though the Re publican members of the commit tee tried to pin him down to de tails. The legislation outlined by the President includes taxation of inheritances and gifts, higher sur taxes on milllon-dollar incomes and graduated income taxes on corpora tions. It is believed the commit tee’s bill will not go outside these limits. IN THE battle between Senator Carter Glass and Marriner S. Eccles, governor of the federal re serve board, the former has, at this writing, scored the most points. The astute Virginian ex tracted from the Eccles-Currie bank ing bill most of the radical provisions that would have led to government or public ownership of the federal reserve system, and, Indeed, practically rewrote the measure. Then Sen. Glate his subcommittee handed it on to the senate banking and currency committee, which promptly gave the bill Its approval, without a rec ord vote, and after making only two minor changes. Governor Eccies and Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau expected to be called before the committee and were prepared to tell why the bill would not suit the administra tion, but the committee didn't give them a chance. As passed by the house, the bank* Ing bill would give autocratic pow er over the banking system to a politically dominated federal re serve board; and the party In pow er would have’ the authority to force the twelve reserve banks to lend unlimited amounts to the na tional treasury. Under the bill as rewritten by Glass, reserve board members are to be appointed for 14 year terms and are to be discharged only for cause; chief officers of the reserve banks are to be chosen by their directors, subject to reserve board approval, for five-year peri ods, and the reserve banks need not buy additional government bonds unless they choose to do so. CLEVELAND, OHIO, was the scene of a second "grass roots” convention of Republicans, the six states participating being Michi gan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Vir ginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. “To revitalise interest In the party” was the declared purpose of the meeting by George H. Bender of Ohio, permanent chairman. The attendance was large and en thusiastic, and the resolutions adopted, like those of tbe Spring field conference, denounced the New Deal and called the voters to the defense of the country's Constitu tion and free institutions. Under the surface there was a good deal of Irritation, for the old timers in the party organization feared to lose their influence, per haps with reason. Tbe Pennsyl vania delegation, largest of all, con tained a considerable number of the state's "old guard” group. HUEY LONG’S conquest of Louis iana was completed when the legislature gave final approval of 26 bills designed to destroy local political patronage In tbe state and otherwise to strengthen tbe sena tor’s dominance. He now has in hand all tbe weapons he needs for the elimination of Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley of New Orleans and his followers. OUR army lost an able and dis tinguished officer In the death of MaJ. Gen. Stuart Heintzelman at the army and navy hospital in Hot Springs, Ark. The grandson and son of army officers. General Heintzelman was graduated from West Point In 1890. After service In the Philippines and China he was sent to France as an observer, and when America entered the war he held high staff assignments. He won the D. S. M. and was decorat ed by France and Italy. From the Inception of the CCC General Heintzelman was In charge of fed eral reclamation projects In Mis souri until Ia£t February, when he was given command of the Seventh corps area with headquarters at Omaha. « AMERICAN COMMON A* WEALTH POLITICAL FED ERATION” is the high sounding title taken by the representatives of various radical organizations for the body which they organized at a conference In Chicago. The ma jority faction in the meeting Issued a call for a national convention at which a new party shall be created, and until this Is done the ‘‘A.C.P.F.’’ will function. Its officers are Con gressman Thomas R. Amlie of Wis consin, chairman; John Bosch, At water, Minn., of the Farm Holiday association, vice chairman; Alfred Bingham of New York, son of for mer United States Senator Hiram Bingham, Connecticut Republican, executive secretary; and Prof. Paul H. Douglas, treasurer. Production for use was the prin cipal plank in the conference plat form. Other planks declared for union wages for persons employed on relief projects and other labor objectives, for a ‘‘soak the rich” tax program, and against war. The call for creation of a third party was opposed by Congressman Vito Mareantonlo of New York city, and he withdrew from the confer ence together with several of his fellow townsmen. Communists were barred from the meeting, and this, i too, caused loud protest. Senator Nye of North Dakota unexpectedly appeared and advised against for mation of a new party for the 1930 campaign. IF GEORGE, former king of Greece, returns to his lost throne It will be without Elizabeth of Ho henzollern who was his wife. This Rumanian princess has just been granted a divorce from George in Bucharest on the ground of deser tion. There was no contest, for George, now living In London, paid no attention to the suit It was believed In Bucharest that Elizabeth will soon marry her sec retary, Alauander Szanavy, a hand some forty-year-old Greek, and that they will run a model farm which Elizabeth bought recently for $3, 500,000. ALDERMANIC Investigation of relief administration in New York city has brought a report from the committee recommending that relief workers be paid less than the wages in private industry, that “chlselers and parasites” receiving $24,000,000 a year of relief funds be prosecuted, and that “existence carpetbagging” by out of . town re lief executives be halted. The typical weekly allowance to a single person to meet every need was reported as $7.35 a week, rang ing upward for families to $19.50 for a family of nine. The number of persons on relief was reported as 1,400,000. AGITATION In favor of a feder al sales tax and for abolition of the “nuisance" taxes Is the pur pose of an organization called the Committee of Americans which is being formed by Charles H. Sabin, Jr., one of the organizers of the Crusaders. Mr. Sabin says the committee hopes to present to the President and congress a petition bearing a million names. He ad mits some of the wealthiest fam ilies in the country are represented on the committee but denies that it is to be regarded as a “wealth lob by” against the "tax wealth” pro gram of the President. T OHN D. ROCKEFELLER reached his ninety-sixth birthday and spent the day quietly on his estate near Lakewood, N. J., with his nearest relatives. There was no cel ebration of the anniversary, not even a birthday cake. According to his physician, Mr. Rockefeller is in better health than he has been for the pasy three years. S ECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE WALLACE proclaimed the es tablishment of an AAA adjustment program for the 1035 rye crop which will Include benefit payments of ainounts not yet disclosed. Rep resentatives from 16 rye growing states met In Washington to dis cuss the program and outline plans for Its operation. GEN. HUGH JOHNSON assumed his new office as federal works relief administrator for New York city. “Robbie,” his ever present sec retary, fended off the reporters for a day, but let them in then, and to them the general walled: **I hate this thing! It Isn’t help ing anybody, anyway. When the source of money Is cut off we’ll be right back where we started. It’s disheartening to sit here, knowing that when the funds arc gone, the lobs will be gone.’’ Novelty’s the Word for Swim Suits By CHERIE NICHOLAS JUST what, do you suppose, “are the wild waves saying” In regard to the whimsical, colorful and sometimes amusing water sports fashions which are so merrily splashing, dashing, swimming, bath ing, diving and floating and frollc Ing In ocean blue, or lake or river or new fangled swimming pool or wherever enthusiastic water fans happen to be? Well, one thing Is certain, If they are saying anything, they are un doubtedly holding an exciting con versation as to the trend to novelty which Is so outstandingly character istic of the latest in swim and beach suits. This Is especially true in re gard to media and materials, which are that novel they deny the theory there Is nothing new under the sun. There’s lace, for Instance, which as a charming Innovation, so far as bathing suits are concerned, has set the fashion world abuzz this season. Dllkusha. a youthful French de signer of renown, conceived the idea. The lace makers obligingly followed along with a fabric that could be used with assured modesty and pleasing effect Comfortable to swim In, attractive In appearance,, lace threatens to be a leader In the race for beachwear popularity. In the picture, the suit to the left Is fashioned of lace of Arm depend able quality. Even the batMng clogs are of lace, closely woven and snug-fitting. Another sensation Is the debut of velvet as medium for the bathing suit. Of course the velvet has been processed to resist the ravages of water. Then, too, it is crinkled In stead of smooth and shakes out and dries, moisture Injuring Its appearance not In the least. See the velvet suit pic tured In the center of the group. Knits will prove grand choices. While there is noth ing new in the Idea of the bathing suit which is knitted yet there Is everything new In knitted effects as brought out this season. Their chief claim to novelty is in the dar ing and bizarre colorings and pat terned effects instead of plain solid tones. The new print or jacquard knits are so spectacular that they easily add as much color to the beach panorama as do the gaily striped parasols and deck chairs. The style tide In knitted suits is running strongly to the maillot, or skirtless swim suit, because It per mits the greatest freedom of action and exposes a maximum of skin surface to healthful sun rays. Mail lots are also most flattering to fine figures, which is another argument in their favor. A smart version of the maillot, in a jacquard knit with a deep U-back, halter neck and the fitted uplift (characteristic of the majority of 1935 suits) Is shown to the right In the illustration. Huge bubble dots, alternating outline and solid, contribute splotches of strik ing color to its patterning. Among the beguiling combinations are white dots on a skipper blue ground, sul phur yellow on brown, rouge on glory blue, and white on tropic green. Many fashtonwise water-fans will do their swimming and sunsoaklng in skirtless or skirted, If you so pre fer, one-piece suits which have backs formed by adjustable straps drawn together at the back in a ring or some other ingenious and attractive device, surrounding the waist as a self belt, carelessly tied at the front to give the smart and casual touch. e Western Newspaper Union. BEACH TOWEL WRAP Br CHERIE NICHOLAS Immense bath towels with fan tastic designs, flab, lobsters, and palm trees being their decorative motifs done In eye-appealing colors are being used at leading summer resorts as rugs and beach wraps. The picture shows how smartly and artfully they wrap themselves about scanty bathing suits. NEWEST STYLES IN OUTFITS FOR BEACH Prom tailored severity to lacy laziness, the newest beach clothes range, with in-between numbers of qnalnt pastoral quality and daring modern themes. There's a gay nineties air abont a swim suit of polka-dotted red lastez woolen with white ruffles around the top and bottom, and forming the shoulder straps, which cross In the back. Then there Is the English school boy outfit, so popular with beach lollers this season, which usually consists of tailor shorts and shirt of navy or polka-dotted twill, a matching ascot and a tailored white pique or linen Jacket The Bavarian note Is with us, too. In pastoral beach frocks of flow ered glazed chintz, with lace bod ices and sometimes even milkmaid aprons. There Is the Tyrolean trend, in gay chintz shirts and skirt-length slacks, with suspenders and gay belts. Ton wear these with a plumed Alpine hat Summer Prints Are Using Flowers as Big as Plates Prints splashed with the biggest figures Paris has ever used—flow ers the size of a large dinner plate —are next on the summer style scene. Black or white crepes printed with huge plate-sized yellow and green sunflowers fashion slender gowns whose hemlines and trains are encircled by diagonal flounces. Their tops are sometimes without shoulder straps, leaving shoulders and back bare, the decollete often rimmed by a big rucb of the flow ers cut from the material and strung with loops of horsehair ribbon. More prints, this time patterned Jn saucer-sized tulips, fashion other gowns cut along similar lines.
