ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, July
20. Emperor Haile Selassie flung
another ringing challenge at Italy
today as Italy's diplomatic repre
sentative here vigorously protest
ed the "bitter tone .of attacks on
Italy" in the emperor's fighting
speech before parliament Thurs
day.
Count incJ, the Italian minis
ter, called at the foreign office
to protest verbally against the ad
dress without waiting lor written
instructions from Rome.
Shortly before the emperor, cit
ing the European nation's increas
ing preparations for war, appeal
ed to the world to help avert the
threatened Italo - Ethiopian war
lest peace covenants become mere
scraps of paper.
Defeat Forty Years
Ago Still Rankles
The king of kings and conquer
ing lion of Judah, whose stirring
speech before parliament Thurs
day fired all Ethiopia's tribal
lords to battle fervor, said in an
interview:
"Ever since her crushing de
feat by our army about 40 years
ago, Italy has nourished the desire
to attack us. This desire assumed
today more acute and more men
acing form, which Italy has pro
claimed to all the world.
"AH our "advances for peace
have been rejected and our s'.n
cere desire for conciliation has
been rebuffed.
"Now, 2,000 years after the
crucifixion, is peace to be drowned
in the blood and tears of a war?"
league of Nations -Eff
icacy . Imperiled ','
Reiterating Ethiopia's unwav
ering determination to "defend
Its territory to the last man for
the preservation of our deathless
record of never having been con
quered," the dark-skinned, curly-bearded
emperor made these
points ia his case against Italy.
1. The Italian attitude threat
ens to destroy the efficacy of the
League of Nations.
2. It promises to convert the
Kellogg pact outlawing war into
mere pious hopes.
3. A drunken brawl between
native employes of a commercial
agency and local police" is the
best excuse Italy can find for her
apparently impending invasion.
4. Italy "Is seeking a pretext
for a campaign of villification
with a view to eventual conquest."

WASHINGTON, July 10.-(JP)-
Sluggish from almost seven
months of near-record activity,
congress was resigned today to a
possible stay until Labor day.
Senator McNary, of Oregon, the
republican leader, saw little hope
of an adjournment before Septem
ber 1 unless those who would
broaden the administration tax
program to take in smaller income
and taxes outside the Roosevelt
plan refrain from debate.
Democratic Leaders
Are More Optimistic
Democratic leaders, including
Senators Robinson of Arkansas
and Harrison of Mississippi, were
more optimistic. Both believed
congress could get away the mid
dle of August if the house hur
ries along the tax bill.
Looking back over the record
today, leaders found more than
two dozen "major" bills on the
statute books along with nearly
200 more public laws, 140 priv
ate and 36 public resolutions.
Contemplating the future, they
saw only the AAA amendments,
banking, second deficiency, taxes
and gold-clause suit ban measures
awaiting final action by either
ence committees were the utility

tidelands to private companies for
development on a royalty basis by
"whipstock drilling" a new king
in the many-sided romance of pe
troleum engineering.
With some independents con
tending the measure enacted into

company a monopoly on the

issue was whether the governor
would sign it.

Session Call
Martin About Ready
to Summon Soloni;
Program Rushed
Qualification Issues
to Arise; Summer
Lacks Dullness
By SHELDON F. SACKETT
The first special session of the
38th legislative assembly draw
near with the exact date of Its
calling dependent, first, on the
time necessary to prepare a for
mal application to PWA for $1.
575,000 of federal funds with
which to build the capitol, and
second, the specific commitment
of PWA to advance the requested
funds after reviewing Oregon's
formal application.
Governor Martin said yesterday
that he anticipated calling the ses
sion within a comparatively short
time. The state's PWA application
is to be filled out this week. FWA
Administrator Ickes is already or
ally on record for ear-marking the
requested funds and formal appro
val by nis organization will be
only a matter of routine. It is
probable the session will convene
early in September. The board of
control during the past week made
tentative arrangements to rent the
second floor of the Elks temple as
quarters for the special session.
Must Straighten Out
Eligibility Tangle
The tangle over the qualifica
tions of various members must be
ironed out before the session can
get down to work. Leading demo
crats are divided In their coun
sels: some believe men like Rep
resentative Cooter and Represen
tative Wallace who are among
those under the ban of the attorney-general's
decision on eligibil
ity should resign and permit coun
ty courts to name their successors.
Other democrats prefer to carry
the matter to the house itself, let
ting that strongly democratic boiy
overrule the attorney-general's de
cision.
The governor will call the ses
sion by issuing a proclamation
which will be relayed to each leg
islator by the secretary of state.
If the latter follows the attorney
general's ruling he will not notify
the members Mr. Van Winkle has
ruled ineligible because they have
accepted a state or federal office
subsequent to their election to the
legislature. The session, under the
constitution, cannot extend more
than 20 days but there is nothing
to prevent the houses from stop
ping their clocks or the goveraor
from immediately calling a sec
ond special "session the moment
the first expires.
Governor Martin is known to be
