This action came during a turbulent session. A motion to send the bill back to committee so that state administration of relief might be substituted for federal supervision was defeated. In addition to direct appropriations calling for the expenditure of 2 billion 519 million dollars, the measure carried authorizations to spend an additional 635 millions of dollars, making a total of 3 billion 154 million dollars which may be spent by the administration in an endeavor to fight the depression. The biggest fight came on a move to strike from the bill a section allowing states and municipalities to exceed their constitutional debt limitations. This motion was defeated.

Haile Selassie, former emperor of Ethiopia, was present in person to address the council, and he handed in a long note purporting to show that his country was far from conquered by Mussolini, less than of it being occupied by the Italians. He asserted the Ethiopian troops actually were gaining ground despite the use of poison gas by Italian airmen, and that thousands of Italians have deserted. The "Lion of Judah had nothing to hope for In the way of direct aid, but his mere presence was decidedly disconcerting to the British diplomats. He demanded that his protest be taken up by the league assembly. No vote was taken on the question of recognizing the Italian conquest, but Chairman Wilhelm Munters of Latvia, summing up the declarations of the member nations, said: "The great majority of members of the council, despite regrets, considers that it is the duty of members of the league to determine individually their own attitude in the light of their own situations and responForeign one-quart- sibilities."

All foreigners there were said to be safe, but American and British warships were rushed to the island on which the city is situated to protect their nationals. The Japanese also reported new gains on the Shantung front where they were moving steadily toward the Lunghal railway despite stub' born resistance. Their airmen raided Suchow, killing many Chinese. Revenue ' I 'HE Bill Rail all-tim- e RAILROADS agency served formal notice on chairmen of rail brotherhoods of their intention to reduce basic rates of pay 15 per cent on July 1. The carriers through this action hope to reduce their annual payroll by $250,000,000. Approximately 925.000 railroad workers are affected by the move. The d announce- ment brought a defiant warning from the Railway Labor Executives' association that: "We will fight the action with every resource at our command. Oil Production Cut 'Texas major and Oklahoma, the two oil states of the midconti- nent. reduced petroleum production drastically to prevent a price collapse. In Texas wells were ordered shut down on Saturdays and Sundays to etlect a reduction of 16i per cent. Oklahoma oil men were ordered to cut production during May 81,000 barrels daily, to 405.000 barrels. Gov. E. W. Marland of Oklahoma said the states speedy action to stabilize production was removal of a possible threat of federal regulation. "This act proves," Marland said, that the states are capable of handling their own affairs.

Under the new crop control act loans are mandatory if the 1938 yield exceeds domestic needs and estimated export needs, which are put at about 740,000,000 bushels. At the same time Secretary Wallace, as head of the AAA, was contemplating the prospect of asking the wheat growers of America to make the heaviest reduction in plantings ever proposed. This reduction may be as much as 37.5 per cent. Growers who this season 80,000,000 planted approximately acres would be asked to reduce their operations to about 50,000,000 acres the smallest since before the World war. Allotments then would be 12,500,000 acres less than for 1938. Government estimates place the crop at between 925,000,000 and bushels. The winter wheat estimate is between 740,000,000 and 750,000,000 bushels while the spring wheat crop is expected to reach 200,000,000 bushels. Added to this will be a carry-ove- r of 150,000,000 bushels or more from last years crop of 874,000,000 bushels. The total supply is expected to reach an high of approximately 1,100,000,000 bushels. In addition to the loan program. Secretary Wallace will move to bolster the market through the new government crop insurance program. Already a campaign is unfarmers for der way to sign-uwheat insurance. S million dollar revenue act of 1938, as patched up by senate and house conferees, was finally sent to the White House for the Presidents signature. The compromise measure retains a vestige of the undistributed profits tax. enough to save the administration's face. But the tax is limited to the calendar years 1938 and 1939 and it is expected to die then. Under the act, corporations earning more than $25,000 will pay a maximum rate of 19 per cent if no earnings are distributed in dividends and a minimum of 1614 per cent if all earnings are distributed. There is a credit of 2k per cent against the maximum tax on the amount of dividends paid.

They felt certain that the friendship between the two dictators was strengthened, that Hitler assured II Duce Germany would not try to absorb the German minority in South Tyrol, and that Mussolini promised Italy would not interfere with the Nazi plans affecting the Sudeten Germans in Czechoslovakia. Mussolini was believed to have received from Hitler recognition of Italy's economic and political interest in central Europe, and a promise the Italian port of Trieste would not lose all its Austrian traffic as a consequence of Austria's absorption by Germany. 1 200 Davies to Belgium DAVIES, wealthy was nominated ambassador JOSEPH P ass?
