That was the 'decision of 52 members of the league in a memorable mem-orable meeting of Its n s s e m h 1 y in Geneva, Tlirpp m ill tions, Italy Itself Baron Al's' and Austria and Hungary, refused to associate themselves with the assembly's action. The Austrian and Hungarian representatives already al-ready had Announced that they would not participate In any sanctions sanc-tions against Italy because of their political and economic relations with the Fascist government. If any of the nations concurring in the league's decision wishes to declare war on Italy, it now has the legal right to do so. The nature na-ture of the penalties to be Imposed and the manner of procedure was to be determined by a committee Including all members of the league council, except Italy, and all Italy's Ita-ly's neighbor nations except Austria and Ilungary. The meeting of the assembly first heard an eloquent speceh on Italy's behalf by her chief delegate, Baron Tompei Aloisl. He charged that the league had been unfair, that it had used "two weights and two scales" in its work, that It had acted j against Italy where It did not act I against Japan In the Manchurian crisis, that it did not even consider Italy's complaints against Ethiopia. Ethio-pia. "Why not Japan?" he asked. "Why not Bolivia and Paraguay in the Chaco war? Why Italy?" Before the decision nation after nation registered its adherence to the league covenant "1 shall make only a brief declaration," decla-ration," said Tierre Laval of France. "France will face her obligations. ob-ligations. I said this before the council. I repeat It before the assembly. as-sembly. The covenant is our International Inter-national law." "Action must now be taken," said Anthony Eden of Great Britain. "I declare the readiness of his majesty's majes-ty's government to take full part In such action." Vladimir Potemkin of Russia announced an-nounced that his government was determined to fulfill Its obligations. Switzerland also emphasized Its willingness to participate. "No other delegation has asked to speak," said President Benes quietly. qui-etly. ."I Interpret the silence of all as indicating the concurrence of their governments with the opinion of the members of the council. The assembly will place this on record." Austria and Hungary cannot of themselves supply Mussolini with much in the way of raw materials for war; but there is the chance that he may receive, through those countries, materials from Germany if the neutrality proclaimed by Hitler Hit-ler does not prevent. Already the big packing companies of Brazil have suspended negotiations for the sale of 22.000 tons of meat to Italy, and Greece has stopped the shipment ship-ment of donkeys to the Italian armies. arm-ies. The economic sanctions also will put at. end to much of Italy's export trade, as well as her imports. MAKING good on his threats and promUes, Benito Mussolini sent his armies crashing across the border of w.th'.opla, starting a war that cave all Eu- I ' 4 t ? & t " if - rope the Jitters.

After several davs of hard lighting against the defending Ethiopians, who ost orobably 2.000 killed, the Invaders marched Into Adtnva. and consur ered that the dlsgrr.ee of 1S00 had been avenged. The Italian soldiers of General Maravinga's command entered first, carrying to the principal prin-cipal square and there erect ng a big stone monument inscribed W the fallen heroes of Aduwa.' 1 here was a report that Mussolini would fly to Aduwa to unveil this memorial. me-morial. ,, Italv officially announced that an of Tlgre province was in Italinn hands, and at the same time her columns were advancing Into Ethiopia Ethio-pia from the south and east, with the city of llarrar and the country's one railway as their objective. Recent reports from Addis Ababa said the Italian minister, whose departure de-parture had been requested by the emperor, anounced that the Italian forces in the north sector had occupied oc-cupied the holy city of Aksum, the ancient capital of the queen of bheba. There was no resistance, and the Ethiopians saved their sacred sac-red relics. The kings of kings asked that other Italian legation officials depart de-part with the minister. The legation, lega-tion, he declared, had kept its radio ra-dio communications in use after being be-ing requested to desist. In Rome it was announced that Mussolini would retort by giving passports to the members of the Ethiopian legation and would launch a new drive toward Addis Ababa. Ethiopian cavalry made a daring dar-ing raid Into Eritrea, killing some Italians and capturing others; but there was a report that a son-in-law of the emperor and another Ethiopian general lost their lives In this operation, T JNANIMOTJS decision of the New Jersey court of errors and appeals ap-peals Is that Bruno Richard Uaupt-mann Uaupt-mann was given a fair trial on the I , I IV. Li charge of murdering murder-ing Col. Charles Lindbergh's baby son; that his conviction con-viction was In accordance ac-cordance with the evidence and that his death sentence was legal. Every contention raised by the defense was overruled. In Its Bruno said Hauptmann , , K "Our conclusion Is that the verdict Is not only not contrary to the weight of the evidence, evi-dence, but one to which the evidence evi-dence inescapably led. . . . From three different and, In the main, unrelated sources the proofs point unerringly to guilt viz: "(a) Possession and use of the ransome money. "(b) The handwriting of the ransome ran-some notes. "(c) The wood used In the construction con-struction of the ladder." Hauptmann's attorneys Immediately Immedi-ately began preparations for an appeal ap-peal to the Supreme Court of the United States. Their only way Is to ask that tribunal for a review of the New Jersey court's action. To prevent the death sentence being be-ing carried out while such a petition peti-tion was pending in the Supreme court, it would be necessary to have a "stay of execution" issued by the New Jersey courts or by a justice of the United States Supreme court. If a review Is denied the case will be closed and Hauptmann probably proba-bly will die In the electric chair late In November or early In December GREECE changed back from a republic re-public to a monarchy overnight in a bloodless coup d'etat engineered en-gineered by the royalists in the armed forces.

He refused and resigned, re-signed, and a new government with Kondylis as premier took hold.

A MERICAN FEDERATION OF f LABOR opened Its annual convention con-vention In Atlantic City with many problems up for discussion. In its report the executive council advocated advo-cated preservation of the national Constitution without amendment for the present, as best for industrial indus-trial recovery. It said: "That some control must be exerted over the former system of laissez falre cannot can-not be denied. "The experiment," the report added add-ed (NRA), "which has been concluded, con-cluded, has helped to point the way to the goal which we must seek. I How Is congress to acquire that control over the Industry and trade of our country which will make possible the necessary reforms? "Until exhaustive studies have been made with respect to attaining attain-ing this great objective, under our present Constitution, we cannot recommend rec-ommend just what steps should be taken In connection with this particular par-ticular problem." The report urged vigorous action to drive Reds out of the federation, and recommend the continuation of a strict labor boycott on German goods and services until the Nazis gave "adequate recognition and protection pro-tection to the rights of minority groups." The federation's determination to keep out the Communists was emphasized em-phasized by Its action In refusing to seat E. M. Curry, president of the International Foundry Workers' union, because he was a Communist Commu-nist candidate for congress in Michigan three years ago.
