By EDWARD W. PICKARD THIOPIA 1s conquered, Emperor Halle Selassie has fled to Pales- tine aboard a British cruiser, and the Itallan army is in possession of Addis Ababa, The war In East Africa is ended. But this climax may be only the beginning of a still greater story, for Benito Mussolinl tells the world that all of Ethiopla now belongs to Italy, to be treated as a colony and defended by force of arms If necessary. He toned this down Benito just a little by giving Mussolini the French ambassa- dor assurance that he would not in- fringe on French and British Interests in East Africa, meaning the French railway from Djibouti to Addis Ababa and the British interests in the Lake Tana headwaters of the Blue Nile. Il Duce intimated that If France in Ethiopla and exclude all other na- tions. : about to meet in Geneva and it believed anti-Fascist sentiment among the French left that have just come into power would Influ- there.

Minister Engert had only a few weapons and the bullding was open to attack. Representative Edith Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts intro duced a resolution calling on Secretary Hull for information as to measures taken for protection of the legation stafl, MPEROR HAILE SELASSIE of Ethiopia gave up the hopeless fight against the Italian Invaders and fled from Addis Ababa with his family. Mussolini's victorious troops soon after marched Into the cap- ital, the first to enter being a picked reg! ment representing all units of the Itallan army, the Askari, In- fantry, artillery, air force, engineers, gren- adiers, bersaglieri, Al- pinl, eavalry, marines * 1.2 #4 gy. and Fascist militia #4 men. Haile Selassie Thelr coming was welcomed by the foreigners who remained in the eity, for as soon as the negus left, the na- tives began to pillage, plunder and burn. The business center of the town was speedily wrecked and the government bulldings were stormed and ravaged, 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 Ethioplans, crazed by liquor, rushed about shooting at random and gathering up their loot to carry it to the hills, 5 ITH the Introduction of the un- employment relief bill calling for appropriation of a billion and a half dollars, a lively fight started in the house. The Republicans and a fair sized bloc of Democrats attacked the measure chiefly because the entire big sum was to be turned over to Harry Hopkins, WPA administrator, in ae cordance with the wishes of President Roosevelt. The Chief Executive had refused to countenance the earmarking of $400000000 for projects of the heavy type sponsored by Secretary Ickes, head of the Public Works ad- ministration, and so the adherents of the latter gentleman were prepared to revive the old Ickes-Hopking feud. Ma. Jority Leader Bankhead was confident the bill would be passed as reported by the appropriations committee, At a Republican caucus Represent. ative John Taber of New York, rank- ing minority member of the appropri. ations committee, explained the meas ure to his colleagues as that they could conduct an “intelligent opposition” to it. He promised a real fight on the bill. When Hopkins was before the committee In secret session, he was ordered to give detailed Information concerning his expenditure of the fom bililons deeded him by congress last year. Hopkins reluctantly admitted that nearly two billions of the original huge fund was still unexpended. Added to the extra one and a half billions requested by President Roose velt, Hopkins would have three and a half billions to spend in an election year, it was pointed out. ALIFORNIA’'S Presidential Repub. lican preference primary, eagerly awaited by the whole country, resulted in the defeat of the Landon slate of delegates that was put forward by Willlam R.

VANDEN. BERG 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 pomination, but the senator Insists this does not make him an active candl- date. “The Michigan state convention generously instructed the Michi. gan delegation in Cleveland to present my name,” the senator sald. “But the delega. _ Senator tion is unpledged-—at Vandenberg my request, It is free to vote as it pleases. | have not sought a delegation here or elsewhere and 1 shall not do 80. | have not sought the nomination and shall not do so.

The Republican state convention in Ogden voted to send an uninstructed group to Cleveland, following the recommenda- tion of the resolutions committee, Col. Hetfry Breckenridge, who offered himself to the Demderats as a Presi. dential nominee aspirant merely so that disaffected members of the party might have some place to go, received about one-seventh of the votes in the Maryland preference primary, The rest, of course, went to Mr. Roosevelt Breckenridge made no campaign, HE national resources committee, which Is headed by Secretary of the Interior Ickes, has submitted for the approval of President Roosevelt a plan for the creation of a Pacific Northwest Power agency that would outrival the Tennessee Valley author ity and would produce almost as much electrical energy as the entire nation could utilize, Two of the New Deal's power ven. tures, the Bonneville and Grand Cou- lee dams, would be embraced by the PNPA. The ultimate cost of Bonne ville will be 75 mwiilion dollars and that of Grand Coulee 204 millions, The ad- ditional dam and power plant projects proposed by the committee would en. tall expenditures of approximately 520 millions, making a total of 505 millions.

Vitamin D Diet Offers New Food Value, Study Shows Experiments which suggest an un- expected human value to be derived from vitamin D were made public at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech. nology. The findings were derived from 1,000 X-ray photographs of rats which had been fed diets contain ing more or less vitamin D, compar- able to the diets of human beings. The pictures were taken after a but termilk-barium drink, like that given human subjects previous to X-ray examination, Investigators found that food res! dues were retained twice as long In the Intestinal tract after a previous diet deficient in vitamin D as com: pared with retention from a diet in which this vitamin is plentiful, Foreign Words and Phrases » Apropos.

This patented Gum-Dipping process insulates every fiber in every cotton cord, preventing internal friction which creates the heat so destructive to tire life, and giving to the tire added strength, This heavy, broad, traction and non-skid tread ix held to the cord body of the tire with Two Extra Layers of Gum-Dipped Cords, a patented construction, making the cord body and tread an inseparable wnit. A leading university in 2350 tire tests has found that the new; scientifically designed Firestone High Speed tread stops a car up to 25% quicker.
