AUGUST 8, 1935 r THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE TEMIM Jap Mission Is Reported Sent T Addis Ababa Military Group To Serve As Observers In Event Of War With Italy ADDIS ABABA, Aug. 7. - (P) - A rumor, officially denied but persistent, that a Japanese military mission had started from Kobe for Ethiopia cir- culated in the capital today. It was presumed that the rumored mission would serve as observers in the event of war between Ethiopia find Italy. Another unconfirmed report had it that 3,000 gas masks of German man- ufacture had been shipped into Addis Ababa and that 25,000 more were on the way. 'Report Feud A report in a Paris newspaper of a feud in Emperor Haile Selassie's fam- ily was officially denied by the min- istry of foreign affairs. It was stated that the emperor and his son were "~working in perfect unity'' and that there was no truth to the Paris story Crown Prince Asfa Wusen was con- sidering a rebellion. The tribesmen are flocking into Addis Ababa daily for service in the army. The foreign office officially denied the report of a Japanese military mission and likewise denied reports of an arms contract with Japan. Emperor Haile Selassie said today that all foreigners in Ethiopia would be safe in the event of a war with Italy. "Foreigners acquainted with us know that danger does not exist for them in the event of a war," he ex- plained. MORE OFFICERS CALLED ROME, Aug. 7.- (P) - The war de- partment summoned more potential officers from home and abroad today as the populace, aroused anew by Premier Mussolini's order constitut- ing three, new divisions, acclaimed his Ethiopian policy. All prospective officers of the classes from 1909 to 1914 (men born in those years) who have not completed offi- cers' training were ordered by the war department to resume it by Nov. 15. They will complete the training by next May 15. The order also applied to pensioned officers under 39 who "still aspire" to readmission to .military service, as well as officers who have left the service because of foreign residence. The popular excitement was re- flected in turbulent demonstrations at San Remo and Asti, headquarters for the two newly constituted divi- sions of regulars, and Milan and sur- rounding communities, from which the recruits will be drawn. MACDONALD IN POWER LONDON, Aug. 7. - (P) - Ramsay MacDonald became acting prime minister of Great Britain today on the eve of an expected climax to the Anglo-Italian controversy over Ethi- opia. Uneasy over already frayed rela- tions between this country and Italy, the government decided to let France take the lead in next week's tri-power talks at Paris. The decision was reached before Prime Minister Stan- ley Baldwin departed for a vacation at Aix-Les-Bains, France. The decision, however, did not mean any relaxation of Britain's de- termination to uphold the sovereign rights of Ethiopia, especially in view of the declaration by Anthony Eden, Nminister for league affairs, that he would assume responsibility for put- ting the issue squarely before the League of Nations Council Sept. 4 if the forthcoming tri-power confer- ences failed. Although MacDonald, former prime minister and now lord president of the council, became nominal head of the government, Baldwin was ex- peted to maintain private contact with Eden while both are in France next week.

Engine Room Fire Damages U..S._Quincy Blaze Breaks Out In New Navy Cruiser Preparing For Trial Run QUINCY, Mass., Aug. 7. - (P) - A fire in the engine room of the recently launched U. S. S. Quincy was extinguished early today after a five- hour battle. The 10,000 ton cruiser lay at a dock at the Fore River ship yards of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding corporation, where she was being prepared for her trial run. She had been launched at the Fore River plant June 19. Harry E. D. Gould, general man- ager of the Fore River plant, said the fire was believed to have started in the switchboard of the main cable room, a 60 by 80 foot section at the aft end of the engine room. Beyond that he declined to discuss the blaze. He said, however, that a board of Bethlehem and navy officials would investigate today. Word of the blaze was not received outside the yard until some hours after it had been discovered. Yard workmen attempted to ex- tinguish the fire with the shipbuild- ing company's apparatus, and after three hours of unsuccessful battling, called in the Quincy fire department. Acrid, heavy smoke billowed from engine room openings and firemen worked in groups of three for periods of five minutes as they sought to reach the seat of the fire. The deck plates were so hot, they were unable to get within two decks of the engine room and clouds of steam shot up as the water from their hose lines struck the decks. Shipyard officials, who declined their names, set the loss at "thou- sands and thousands of dollars." The Quincy was built at the Fore River yard at a cost of $8,196,000. It is 578 feet long at the waterline. She is of the very latest type, and is named in honor of former Secre- tary of the Navy Charles Francis Adams, whose birthplace is Quincy. The vessel was christened by Mrs. Catherine Adams Morgan, daughter of the former navy secretary. Out-of-Town Buyers Throng New York NEW YORK, Aug. 7. - (P) - The New York Times said today that the number of out of -town buyers ar- riving during July set a record for this month, reflecting both the heavy gains in retail trade throughout the country and the active start of the fall season in major wholesale markets "Current gains in retail trade," the paper said, "have surpassed expecta- tions and in well informed quarters the prediction has been made that the next few weeks will be a sharp in- crease in the volume of advance or- ders.." Kidnaper Breaks Jail Quick Action On oilControl Bills Is Soucght WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. - (P) - Quick action was sought today on new oil control legislation. Two bills, almost identical, were offered in the senate and house. Rep- resentative Disney (Dem. Okla.), de- scribed them as designed to set up an NRA in the industry by voluntary agreement. The measures would permit volun-, tary intra-industry agreements, to be approved by the President, which would seek to prevent "waste," elimi- nate "unfair" competition and pre- scribe wage and hour standards. Waving of theacriminalprovisions of the anti-trust laws would be allowed. A NEW MEXICAN WAR New Mexico plans a $2,200,000 war on malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

To Force Vote Changres On Guffey Bill Roosevelt Intervenes In An Effort To Get Coal Act Out Of Committee WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. - () - New Deal chiefs decided today, after counting noses again, that until the situation changes it will be impos- sible to get the Guffey coal regulation bill out of the House Ways and Means Committee. Consequently things were at a standstill, insofar as apparent activ- ity was concerned. Undercover, how- ever, the "heat" was being put on. There are 18 Democrats and 7 Re- publicans on the committee. Six of the seven Republicans will vote against approving the bill. To get a favorable report, the Democrats thus have to muster 12 votes on their own side. Today, all 18 Democrats had been 2hecked. The tentative count stood 10 to 8 for the bill- two short of the required number. Vigorous attempts were being made to change two votes. It was reported that President Roose- velt, who favors the bill, had inter- vened. The intervention, it was said, was naot in the form of personal appeals to individual members but rather a blanket statement transmitted to the Democrats that they could make whatever changes they wished so long as they maintained the major objec- tives of the bill. Administration committee leaders hoped the two votes could be 'swung. The immediate strategy, however, was t sit tight and see what de- veloped.

New Measures Aoainst Jews To Be Taken Nazis Act To Halt Flow Of 'Undesirable' Refugees Into Berlin BERLIN, Aug. 7. -(AP) - An official Nazi announcement proclaimed today that further "measures" would be taken to halt a stream of "undesirable elements," especially Jews, pouring into Berlin for refuge. The announcement said the meas- ures already have been drawn up by Count Wolf Hendrick von Helldorf, head of the Berlin police, and Julius Lippert, Nazi commissioner for Berlin, to stem the migration from the pro- vinces - "greater than ever before." No indication was given as to the precise nature of the steps to be taken. Driven from small towns by the Nazi anti-Semitic campaign, the refu- gees seek protection in-the city, say- ing they have no place else to turn unless they leave the Reich. Hans Hinkel, dictator of non-Aryan art, announced that American and other foreign motion pictures writ- ten, acted and produced by Jews, would still be accepted by Nazis. Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda, previously had asked Nazi party members not to protest against Jewish foreign films because "it is necessary to admit these films in order to sell ours abroad."
