" "I ; was driving south along
High, street about 4:30 near the
power company's pole yard (just

men 'walking down the side of
the street bailed me," Haskin re
counted. " "We're going with you,'
they said, and one of them poked
something in my ribs. Yes, it sure
felt like a gun. I didn't see it."
The men, one tall and dark, the
other - short and fair, and both
well dressed, then directed Has

the short man and the woman got

(J) A huge forest fire which de

summer resorts and residences at
the south end of Lake Tahoe as

direct the - drillers to begin - a

gap near the state penitentiary
annex, it was reported last night.
Frank Knowles, commission
geologist, is said : to believe the
gap section to be equally as good

field site was chosen because of
its proximity to. the city. 1
That the commission will con
tinue having test boles , drilled
until '10 test wells for which it

an adequate, supply of well water
is obtained sooner.

On Sanctions
Mussolini's Anniversary I
Of March Upon Rome
. Sees New Move
Strong Line Across 400
Mile Front Bar to
Counter Moves
(By the Associated Press)
Benito Mussolini, celebrating
the thirteenth birthday of his con
quering march on Rome, drew a
thin line of fighting blackshlrts
across 400 miles of southern Ethl-
ooia Monday: saw his armies In
a firmer mountain foothold in the
north and tightened his nation's
belt for sanctions something he
calls an "absurd crime."
Great Britain looked on coldly.
She viewed the apparent collapse
of a week of cautious peace moves
apparently because II Duce
wants too much.
Three More British
Destroyers on Way
Her foreign minister, Sir Samu
el Hoare, will go to Geneva this
week apparently to throw the
full weight of his majesty's gov
ernment behind early and effec
tive sanctions against Italy.
Out on the high seas, said reli
able reports, three more British
destroyers steamed toward the
warship - dotted Mediterranean,
bound, perhaps, for station In the
Red sea.
That, it seemed, might be Bri
tain's answer to Italy's sugges
tions for reduction of the naval
armada about the Sues canal, now
that Mussolini has called home
some of the troops he sent Jto
African Libya.
But Stanley Baldwin, tne-ent-
tsh prime ministe, promisea in
a campaign speech his country
would not seek to take the lead
in a new world arms race. The na
tion's defenses, he insisted, will
be bolstered only to the point of
necessity.
Little Fighting

Unstage in the theatre or ai-

mies halted a new advance In the
mountains protecting M a k a 1 e,
strategic northern outpost on the
trail to Addis Ababa. News from
the northern front was mild as
far as fighting goes. ....
Italy s high commana neuevea
the new line, as advanced from
the original Aduwa-Adlgrat front,
to be an effective saieguara
against the chance of a wedge-like
attack by strong Ethiopian forces.

Lessard indicated the action

was described as the "apparent
indifference" of Salem and Mar

calling for a more liberal contrib

Saying that no definite informa

that it was nothing but a general
