' B Losses Heavy On Both Sides Old -Style Infantry Wins Over Machine Guns, Armored Tanks ADDIS ABABA, NOT. 12.-flP-A bloody Ethiopian victory on the southern front, won at a heavy cost of lives to both sides, was officially claimed today by the government. It . was a fight of age-old In fantry against modern tank and machine gun units of the fascist invaders, a communique said, and the former won. Despite a withering Italian fire, the announcement asserted, 4 the tribesmen of Emperor Halle Selassie captured four Italian tanks in desperate fight at An i ele. Ogaden province. The battlefield was strewn with dead of both armies, the an nouncement said. Claim Other Gains Ethiopia also claimed success in another clash in the same re gion. The government said its warriors killed six Italian offi cers and many soldiers,, with thel remainder fleeing in panic, and captured six trucks. The same communique report- d a victory on the northern front. Commander Gabre Heyot, the communique continued, attacked a vastly superior Italian unit, killing the t commander and ' a large number of soldiers and dis ' persing the enemy in disorder. Italy Threatens To Leave League (Continued from Page 1) plication of sanctions be "too nostlle". Whether or npt she does so, these sources asserted, she has clearly indicated she will hold sanctionist countries "indi vidually responsible" for the ac tions against her under the League aegis. : Premier Mussolini and Sir Erie Drummond, the British am bassador, conferred today on the 'Mediterranean situation. The talks were understood to be "progressing satisfactorily," but officially, there were no de tails. PARIS, Nov. 12.-.JP)-France anxiously faced the prospect to night of an economic war with Italy, : Premier Pierre Laval is 'expect ed to reply to Premier Musso lini's warning that reprisals will follow sanctions with the explan ation that sanctions are unavoid able. The effect of the loss of Italy's foreign trade on French business Is feared by financial quarters, since France is still suffering heavily from depression.

At present, he said, wages In those two states are about 20 per cent above the minimum set by the old lumber code under NRA. The industry cannot main tain such wages and compete with the products of cheap labor from the Dominion mills without "a reasonable protective tariff," he said. Many Barely Able, To Operate Now "Even now with the total of $4 per 1000 feet duties, there are numerous operators who barely ar.e able to operate," Compton said. "Cut that protection in half and the government has tak en away the slight margin of profit on which those men were able to keep going." The association manager said that despite the duty, lumber shipments from Canada had in creased from 13.000,000 feet in the first six months of the year to 46,000,000 in the third quar ter alone. Imports from Canada last year totaled only 4,00,000 feet. - " The present tariff rate is .es sential if the government expects operators to cooperate in a pro gram of conservation, such as cropping their timber on a sus tained yield basis. Compton said. Without that protection the mar gin of profit is so small that op erators will be forced to cut pro duction costs to the bone and some of them will not be able to continue, he said.

Will Ieave Future Issues tor Commission The governor has taken the po sition that ha did his best to se cure the full $3,500,000 project for the state along; with adequate ground. Now that .the legislature has spoken, the responsibility! for the capltol Is considered out of bis hands.

Bills passed at the special ses sion are- being checked by Ralph E. Moody, assistant attorney gen eral, as to their constitutionality. Governor Martin Indicated that he would defer action on the bills until today. Under the law, j all bills must be signed, vetoed or filed with the secretary of state to become laws without the execu tive signature by Friday night.; Particular interest here centered on the capitol construction : bill, the unemployment insurance mea sure, and the agricultural market ing agreement bill. ; ! The fate of the agricultural marketing agreement bill pro bably will depend wholly upon its constitutionality. This is now be ing studied by Moody, in coopera tion with other attorneys. A number of legislators who op posed this measure alleged that it was unconstitutional and would not be upheld by, the courts. f The new measure was designed to correct and clarify the original agricultural adjustment act which recently was declared unconstitu tional by the state supreme court.
