To Belligerents Action Is Serious Blow To Mussolini Deadlock In Anglo-Italian Views Broken. As Nei Conversations Open GENEVA, Nov. 5-(')-The League of Nations received surprising sup- port today in its attempt to boycoti warring Italy when Germany an- nounced that it will permit no wai profiteering whatever in the Reich. An official League communique dis- closed Adolf Hitler's decision to stamp out all speculation in products which Germany is convinced are destined for either Italy or Ethiopia. League officials and many delegates sa: nthe Rich's action as a serious blow to Mussolini. They interpreted it as meaning the non-member Reich will do nothing or permit nothing to balk Geneva's efforts to bring quick termination of the African war. The communique said the Com- mittee of Eighteen, through the League secretariat, had been in- formed that Germany has learned certain persons were purchasing goods in the Reich with the probable intention of selling them to bellig- erents at a large profit. "The government therefore," said. the communique, "proposes shortly to issue a degree to render such specu- lation impossible." League officials believed the mer- chandise was intended primarily for Italy, presumably by transit across Austria. In London there was denial of re- ports in P js.dip9mA tic cicle that the Mediterranean problem has been solved by Tuesday night's conversa- tions at Rome. In authoritative London quarters it was said a previous deadlock in Anglo-Italian views was broken by the new conversation between Pre- mier Mussolini and Sir Eric Drum- mond, British ambassador to Rome. Progress was made, it was asserted, but no final conclusions were reached. ETHIOPIANS REPEL ITALIANS ADDIS ABABA, Nov. 6. - () - A Government communique said today Ethiopian troops repelled an Italian scouting force trying to enter Makale in the north, and related that two Italian ariplanes were brought down on the southern front. Ten Italians were killed and four taken prisoner in the fighting at' Makale last night, the communique said, while two Ethiopians were killed and two wounded. The Italian sol- diers were operating in advance of the main force, seeking to reach Makale as the climax of the second big drive into northern Ethiopia. . Emperor Haile Selassie promoted the Mohammedan general Omar Simer following upon reports that Simer had led Ethiopian forces in a fierce battle near Scillaye, in the south, yesterday, killing several hun- dred Italians and sustaining only two score casualties to his own army. Simer served with the Italians in Somaliland, but after killing one of his officers deserted to Ethiopia, where he formed his own army of So- malis. His surrender was one of Italy's conditions for settlement of the Wal-Wal border incident of last December.

Brown of the political science de- partment. "The G.O.P. victories undoubtedly reflect a trend of opposition to the New Deal that has been noticeable for at least six months," Professor Brown declared. "But there were too much local politics in the elections,," he con- tinued, "to tell very much about the national issues involved." Both sides over-emphasized the importance of the situation, he pointed out. "The Republicans hail it as a complete repudiation of the New Deal, while the Democrats say it only concerns local issues." However, Professor Brown called attention to the fact that Postmaster- General James A. Farley, chief Dem- ocratic tactician, made a personal plea in New York state for a New Deal vote. "In that sense it was a repudia- tion," he said. "On the other hand," he stated, 'only recently the farmers of the Mid-west approved the corn-hog program, showing that that part of the New Deal program is favored in that section." "President Roosevelt is still very popular," Professor Brown declared, "and the trend of opposition will have to go a long way yet before he will be in the disfavor of the nation as a whole." To back this up, he pointed to the results of national polls, the returns of which are favorable to the Administration. "And should the people decide against him, who would the Republi- can candidate be?" he asked. He pointed out that "even the experts can't figure the situation out." None of the many of possible candidates comes out in the open for fear of an- tagonizing the others, he said. Calling attention to the "wishful thinking" of political writers, Profes- sor Brown held that "it is impossible to tell at the present time the Re- publican set-up."

Leaders Contend Results In East Show New DealOpposition Democrats Lead In Kentucky Returns President Roosevelt Makes No Comment On Results Of EasternVoting WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. - (P) - National Republican and Democratic leaders tonight found such divergent meanings in Tuesday's elections as claims that the New Deal had been both repudiated and endorsed. From G.O.P. spokesmen came con- tentions that the election of Repub- lican controlled assemblies in New York and New Jersey indicated wan- ing support for the Roosevelt ad- ministration. Promptly the Democrats responded that, nevertheless, their candidates polled a plurality of popular votes in New York and northern New Jersey. Thus, they said, the voters approved the New Deal. Meanwhile, returns from Kentucky Petition For Readmission Filed By Expelled Student Against Rutihven, Regents Six/ Houses Get Graduates For New Advisers Free Tuition, Board And Room Given To Resident -Preceptors' Six fraternities have accepted the University's offer to waive tuition requirements" for resident graduate advisers, Joseph A. Bursley, dean of students, announced yesterday. The fraternities- are Delta Tau-Delta; A- acia, Kappa Delta Rho, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Kappa Tau, and Phi Beta Delta. The plan was offered two years ago, but no action was taken definite- ly by an organization. The move- ment for graduate "preceptor" has gained much popularity in such in- stitutions as the University of Iowa, Rutgers, the University of Illinois, Lafayette College, and the University of Oklahoma, Dean Bursley stated. Resident graduate advisers will be allowed free tuition, on action of the Board of Regents, and free room and board by the fraternity houses in which they reside, the Law School, or the School of Business Administra- tion. Emphasizing the fact that the new system is not permanent, Dean Burs- ley stressed the fact that "this is more or less of an experiment." The future of the resident adviser plan depends on the results of the 1935- 36 year, he stated Metropolitan Club Will BeOrganized A Metropolitan Club, composed pri- marily of students from New York City, Brooklyn, and Northern New Jersey, will hold its first meeting at 7:30 tonight in the League. The purpose of the new club is "to give the students from these cities the advantages that might come from knowing each other and to provide a closer link with the University," offi- cials said last night. Prof. Shorey Peterson of the eco-! nomics department will be the ad- visor of the group and will aid in the organization and determination of a plan for coming activities. The meeting tonight will be the reorgani- zation of the club which was formerly organized on the campus many years ago. Tentative plans for the semester include a dance, group transportation back home at Christmas, and other group activities. Men and women, are invited, it was announced.
