Mr. Fish has not yet formally announced this intention, but he told an interviewer the other day that if he were elected he OECACSE It was prosecuting an un--- declared war on Ethiopia, Italy was condemned as a violator of the covenant of the League of Nations and virtually declared de-clared to be an outlaw out-law against which economic and financial finan-cial sanctions are to be applied. That was the decision of 52 members of the league In a memorable meeting meet-ing of Its assembly In Geneva. Three nations, na-tions, Italy Itself and W7X - h, , : :hV' - i m pled the holy city of Aksum, the ancient an-cient capital of the queen of Sheba. There was no resistance, and the Ethiopians Ethi-opians saved their sacred relics. The king of kings asked that other Italian legation ollicials depart with the minister. The legation, he declared, de-clared, had kept Its radio communications communi-cations In use after being requested to desist. In Rome It was announced that Mussolini Mus-solini would retort by giving passports to the members of the Ethiopian legation lega-tion and would launch a new drive toward to-ward Addis Ababa. Ethiopian cavalry made a daring raid Into Eritrea, killing some Italians and capturing others; but there was a report that a son-in-law of the emperor em-peror and another Ethiopian general lost their lives In this operation. FIRST giving assurance, In his speech at San Diego, that the United Unit-ed States would not be drawn into any foreign war, President Roosevelt issued two Important proclamations. One proclaimed the embargo on all shipments of war material to the belligerent bel-ligerent nations. The other warned Americans that travel on Italian or Ethiopian vessels would be at their own risk. Since Ethiopia has no shipping, ship-ping, the latter proclamation was directed di-rected solely against Italy. In yet another an-other statement the President reversed our national policy by declaring that Americans who engage in "transactions "transac-tions of any character" with either of the warring nations "will do so at their own risk." In the past the United States has argued for the right of neutral neu-tral citizens and commerce to "freedom of the seas." The task of preventing shipment of American arms and munitions to Italy and Ethiopia was undertaken by the coast guard and customs service.

AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR LA-BOR opened its annual convention conven-tion in Atlantic City with many problems prob-lems up for discussion. In Its report the executive council advocated preservation pres-ervation of the national constitution, without amendment for the present, as best for industrial recovery. P said: "That some control must be exerted over the former system of laissez faire cannot be denied. "The experiment," the report added, (NRA), "which ha3 been concluded, has helped to point the way to the goal which we must seek. How Is congress to acquire that control over the industry and trade of our country which will make possible the necessary neces-sary reforms? "Until exhaustive studies have been, made with respect to attaining this great objective, under our present constitution, con-stitution, we cannot recommend just what steps should be taken In connection, connec-tion, with this particular problem." The federation's determination to keep out the Communists was emphasized empha-sized by Its action in refusing to seat E. M. Curry, president of the International Inter-national Foundry Workers' union, because be-cause he was a Communist candidate for congress In Michigan three years ago. QUITE without ceremony, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes and the eight associate justices of the Supreme court of the United States Austria ana Hungary, . , refused to associate Baron Alo,sl themselves with the assembly's action. The Austrian and Hungarian representatives repre-sentatives already 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 of the penalties pen-alties 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 neighbor nations except Austria and Hungary. The meeting of the assembly first heard an eloquent speech on Italy's behalf by her chief delegate, Baron Pompei Aloisl. He charged thar the league had been unfair, that it hal used "two weights and two scales" in Its work, that it had acted against Italy where It did not act against Japan la the Manchurlan crisis, that It did not even consider Italy's complaints against Ethiopia. "Why not Japan?" lie asked. "Why not Bolivia and Paraguay In the Chaco war? Why Italy?" Before the decision nation after nation na-tion registered its adherence to the league covenant. "I shall make only a brief declaration," declara-tion," said Pierre Laval of France. "France will face her obligations. I said this before the council. I repeat It before the assembly. The covenant Is our International law." "Action must now be taken," said Anthony Eden of Great Britain. "I declare the readiness of his majesty's government to take full part in such action." Vladimir Potemkln of Russia announced an-nounced that his government was determined de-termined to fulfill its obligations. Switzerland also emphasized its willingness will-ingness to participate. "No other delegation has asked to speak,", said. President Benes quietly. "I Interpret the silence of all as Indicating Indi-cating the concurrence of their governments gov-ernments with the opinion of the members of the council. The assembly assem-bly 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 ma-terials from Germany if the neutrality proclaimed by Hitler does not prevent. pre-vent. Already the big packing companies com-panies of Brazil have suspended negotiations nego-tiations for the sale of 22.000 tons of meat to Italy, and Greece has stopped the shipment of donkeys to the Italian armies. The economic sanctions also will put an end to much of Italy's export ex-port trade, as well as her Imports.

Every contention raised by the defense was overruled.

"(b) The handwriting of the ransom ran-som notes. "(c) The wood used in the construction construc-tion of the ladder." Ilauptmann's attorneys Immediately began preparations for an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. Their only way is to ask that tribunal for a review of the New Jersey Jer-sey court's action. To prevent the death sentence being carried out while such a petition was pending in the Supreme court, It would be necessary to have a "stay of execution" execu-tion" 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 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 by the royalists In the armed forces. Led by Gen. George Kondylls, the army olllcers demanded that Premier Tsal-darls Tsal-darls immediately proclaim restoration of the monarchy. He refused and resigned, re-signed, and a new government with Kondylls as premier took hold. This former minister of war then forced out President Zaimis, abolished the republican repub-lican constitution, decreed the restoration, restora-tion, and was named regent by the national na-tional assembly pending the return of King George II, who was called back from exile. Though the change of form of government thus seemed completed, the assembly directed that a plebiscite on the question be held November 3, and In London the Greek king's equerry said George would await the result of this vote. QUITE Inadvertently, Secretary of the Navy Swanson revealed the fact that our government Is preparing to take part in another naval conference confer-ence In London within three mouths. Mr. Swanson, replying to some question ques-tion at his press conference, said he would send Admiral William II. Stand-ley, Stand-ley, chief of operations, to the London meeting as the navy's representative because of Ills good work at the last conversations on naval limitation. It is supposed t he naval powers will try to formulate a limitation program which would take the place of the treaties that are to be terminated January Jan-uary 1, 1H.T7. j architects and decorators deco-rators had had their Chief Justice way. Hu9hes There was a big crowd present to see the justices open the first term of court in the palatial structure but only a few spectators could get inside. The first business was the admission of more than 150 lawyers to practice before the court. Then the calendar calen-dar was read. On this calendar are six cases which hold the fate of the New Deal. The most important of these is one which will determine the validity of the agricultural adjustment act. That ruling may rank with the Dred Scott decision In Its political consequences. conse-quences. Other important cases are those challenging the Bankhead cotton control con-trol act, the Tennessee Valley authority, author-ity, the right of the Public Works administration to condemn land for housing projects, the corpora. e reorganization reor-ganization act, and the right of states to tax the property of the Reconstruction Reconstruc-tion Finance corporation. ANNAPOLIS was full of navy men, ranging from admirals down to ordinary seamen, oa October 10, for that was the ninetieth anniversary of the founding of the United States Naval academy and it was celebrated in fine style. Heading a group of distinguished dis-tinguished guests not identified with the service was Prof. Wilder D. Ban.-cioft, Ban.-cioft, whose grandfather, George Bancroft, Ban-croft, famous historian, founded the academy when he was secretary of the navy under President Polk. A feature of the exercises was a sham battle In which midshipmen landed from boats, scaled the seawall and attacked the academy under protection of a barrage bar-rage laid down by a sub-chaser. p'UVN In Lower California aboard the cruiser Houston President Roosevelt called Secretary Ickes and WPA Administrator Harry Hopkins into his cabin and studied the wy-k situation on the basis of reports from Washington.
