MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1935 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON GERMANY OUT OF LEAGUE, TO STAY NEUTRAL (Continued from pane t) tlon, olid at 11:30 a. m. today ac cording to the League view. Germany's Versailles treaty army has become one of 600,000 men. lis air force forbidden entirely has become a powerful weapon. Its navy Is becoming a potent force, includ ing 12 submarines in operation and nine under construction. The treaty forbade Germany submarines. All that has happened since Ger many's resignation. - Today with Europe in a grave cri sis Germany is remote from it. Pub lic opinion throughout the country shows gratification at the country's delivery from "the fetters of Ge neva." The League has received no sym pathy from Germans in its trou bles; on the contrary Germans con sider that the cause of peace may ultimately be served if the League falls to solve the Italian-Ethiopian crisis, because then the powers will be forced to admit the necessity for a new departure and the aban donment of present League princi ples. These principles Germans feel to be linked with the Versailles treaty. No willingness Is apparent in Ger many to participate in any action decided by the League. The utmost reserve is maintained. Germany Intends to be neutral. On the one hand, It is not be lieved that German will openly side with Italy or supply her with arms. Friendship . with Great Britain is much valued in political quarters and this fact forbids outright sup port for the Italian cause. On the other hand Germany seems to have no intention to re strict her business dealings wilh Italy, one of her best customers. An increase of German exports to Italy is envisaged. Italy's great dif ficulty in obtaining credits may limit this increase. Continuation of Security Bill From page Out that the state meet the entire sum, relieving counties. Senator Bynon also dropped two other bills in the hopper. One would empower the municipal dock com mission of Portland and the Port land city to exercise imminent do main to obtain property outside their limits for the purpose of develop ment in connection with use of power from the Bonneville dam pro jects The bill would aso authorize loans from the federal government to be pledged by the property and revenue therefrom. The other proposal would amend the state income tax law to permit corporations contributing to the Portland community chest to make a deduction up to five percent of their income to cover the amount contributed. Bynon explained the federal government permitted that deduction while the state law gave no exemption. MOTHER AND BABE SHOT IN KENTUCKY Louisville, Ky Oct. 21 () Har din county officers were hunting to day a man listed as John Coffman, 40, for questioning in connection with the fatal shooting of Mrs. An na Smallwood Keith, 20, and her 11 months old son, Charles. The mother and child died today at a hospital here from wounds suf fered in a blast of shotgun fire at their home in Elizabeth town. Offic ers said the woman, with her baby in her arms, essayed the role of peace maker by stepping between her husband and another man who had gone to her home allegedly to "settle" a quarrel. The husband. Haroid Keith, was quoted by Chief Deputy Sheriff Wei lcr Hodges as saying his wife told the man to go away but that instead he started shooting.

Grazlana's forces, in their ad vance, captured the rich oases in the Sclaveli desert region in the south of Ogaden province, an Ital ian military communique said. The fortress of Dagnerrei. at one of these oases, was stcrmed ami occupied by the Italians. In their advance, the Italians pro ceeded along the Webbe Shibele river, which disappears in the coast al swamps of Italian Somallland before it reaches the sea. The Shibele rises Into the plateau regions of southwest Ethiopia, flow ing swiftly through deep gorges. But the Italian troops would leave the river in their northward swing toward Harar before reaching the plateau region. Reports to the Italian headquart ers in the northern sector said Halle Selassie was ready to sue for peace. There was no confirmation of this rumor. The Italian plan of cam paign into the interior is already mapped and field officers said the report would not alter these plans. For every indication, the Italian plan is this: To drive from the north and south toward Harar; occupy virtually all the eastern half of Haile Selassie's empire and thus link the two Ital ian east African possessions, Eri trea on the north and Somaliland on the south. As the Italian armies were mass ed between Aduwa and Adigrat, in northern Tigre province, for the "big push" southward into the Ul terior, arb Ethiopian communique, issued at its legation in London, warned Italy against the "ghastly methods" of poison gas and dum dum bullets. The legation said it had impartial substantiation of Italy's use of "un fair and ultra-civilized methods of warfare." ' "We take the opportunity," the communique said, "hereby, to warn the Italian forces that if they con tinue to use such ghastly methods against simple , unarmed peoples that, notwithstanding the order oi his majesty. Emperor Haile Selas sie, I, it will not be possible to re strain the wilder section of the Eth iopian army from retaliating In some similar method on Italian sol diers who may happen to fall into their hands." The white race, the statement said, "will be intensely hated by all peoples of Africa and, we think, of Asia also, for years to come." The Ethiopian minister of war, Ras Mulugheta, left for the north ern front in Tigre province, In the neighborhood of Makale. ' The report of the Italian victory came here by airplane. After the battle, a pilot flew the length of Ethiopia to bring the report t-i headquarters. He said there was hard fighting over difficult grounds. He described the Dagnerrei fortress as located high on a cliff with a sheer drop from its battlements of 250 feel. Various parts of the redoubts were protected by iron spikes. He said two columns of battalions charged up the two sides, that the fighting was slow, but that the vic tory was overwhelming. Burdodi, which were merely re ported, as "occupied,", also was taken by assault and was burned as the defending force fled. SHAKESPEARE HALL ENDURES London (LP) Although all the Shakespeare theaters are gone, vis itors in London still arc shown the Hall of the . Middle Temple, which was built in 1572 and has the finest Elizabethan roof In the city. In this hall "Twelfth Night" was given Feb, 22. 1602, and it is, commonly stated that snaKespeare was one oi tne actors in that play. NAMES PUT FIRST IN NEWS Trenton, Mo.

Sir Eric Drummond, the British ambassador to Rome, was under stood to have called on Premier Mussolini to inform him of the neu trality decision. These sources revealed the Bri tish government had decided Great Britain must act to observe the rules of neutrality even though no state of war has been declared between Italy and Ethiopia. Authorities said the Hague con vention will be applied in "friendly" fashion against Italy and that thus far it applies only to Africa and to such Italian vessels as are related in some such definite form as aux iliary to warlike operations. No commercial shipping outside the theater of war, It was stated, will be affected. , Authoritative quarters in London indicated the proposals for peace in east Africa were crystalizing after diplomatic conversations in Rome, Paris and London. It was emphasized, however, such proposals were in the very earliest stages and It would be erroneous to say that anything definite had de veloped, or to say great optimism prevailed. London circles said any east Afri can peace plan must be wholly ac ceptable both to Emperor Halle Selassie and to the League of Na tions. Diplomats were in something of a quandary about this: How were they going to devise a peace plan acceptable under the covenant of the league, after the league plainly outlawed Mussolini for resorting to war in Ethiopia in disregard of tils covenants under the league? As for the tense situation that prevailed between Italy and Eng land, it was felt in London this crisis had been merely suspended and not solved. Mussolini, it was understood, con ferred with Sir Eric Drummond, the British ambassador, again over the week-end, and gave him assur- rance Italy had no design on Brit ish interests, In east Africa o: elsewhere. The opening of the British par liament tomorrow, with its certain debate on the international situa tion, was uppermost in the thoughts of diplomats today. They looked to Sir Samuel Hoare, the foreign secretary, for complete analysis of the British position and felt it likely Sir Samuel might dwell, at least briefly, on the possibilities for peace. In a Rugby football game in Bo- 'ncs, Scotland, one youth played in his bare feet and kicked the ball ns strongly as those fully shod. PdZo'KUsO WITHOUT . FMCT.H3 Y WND. ?

Trotter, president of the board of health. Deaths totaled 3,236 during the fiscal year, 1934-35, a decrease of 443, or 12 per cent. Infant mortal ity dropped 18 per cent from the previous year.

SPUR TO BUYING HIT BY DOUGLAS Boston (LP) Efforts to spur con sumer buying at the sacrifice of savings is characterized at "not only unsound but futile" by Lewis Doug las, former director of the budget, writing on the depression and the problem of reemployment in the current Atlantic Monthly. "It is clear that increased pur chases of consumer goods cannot revive the capital-goods industries in which the bulk of unemployment exists," Douglas contends. Asserting that the "spend-your way-out theory," now favored by the administration, is only sugerfi- cially plausible. Douglas says that it fails to recognize that the great majority of unemployed are from industries which make products that the individual consumer does not buy. and that savings do not repre sent sterile, locked-up funds, but funds which go into circulation through investment. "During the depression there has been a relatively constant consump tion of such goods as wheat, ubtter flour, silks, velvets, popular-priced dresses, infants' wear, cigarettes and gasoline," Douglas writes. "Whereas the consumption of capital-goods, such as machinery, and building materials, has declined enormously. Employment in industries making goods for individual consumption has declined only 16 per cent agaist a SO per cent decline in the capital-goods industries. "An overnight increase in the use of consumer goods to an all-time peak probably would not reemploy even 25 per cent of the workers now idle in the capital goods industries. Water Pipes May be Used for Jail Bars Boston (LP) If U. S. Marshal John Murphy's and Deputy U. S. Mar shal John Hall's invention were in stalled, water pipes instead of the regular iron bars would be used to construct prison cells. They have a system of prevent ing prison breaks in which, by at tempting to saw through a bar, the prisoner would release an automatic siren alarm or a floor of water. The break In the pipe would lower the pressure of water, automatically sounding the alarm. tournal Want Ads Pay UkU, I. 4. tari It.

Corbett, held a conference on the advisability oi such a procedure during the noon hour and concluded there would be no legal objection. The two houses therefore convened informally and unofficially at 2 o'clock to listen to the governor. With Rep. Howard Latourette as sured of the speakership of the house by reason of a hectic caucus last night, and Senator Harry Cor bett holding over from the 1635 reg ular session as president of the sen ate, the Oregon legislature con vened here In special session this morning at tne call of Governor Charles H. Martin to consider emer gency legislation relative to the re construction of the burned capltol, Both houses recessed Just prior to noon without either having ac complished anything toward perma nent organization both awaiting reports of committees on credentials concerning contested seats. In the senate a committee com posed of Senators Chinnock, Hazietl Lee, Duncan and Ooss were exam- inging the credentials of Nate Boody, named by the Multnomah county commissioners to succeed Senator Ashby Dickson, who wa.i disqualified through an opinion of the attorney general, and consider ing the protest of Senator Dickson who contends that he is qualified. A house committee of Represen tatives Ross, Fuhrer and Leech was delving into the question of seating Robert S. Farrell, Jr., of Portland. appointed to succeed Rep. Lew Wal lace, whom the attorney general ruled had forfeited his seat by ac cepting appointment to the stat game commission. Both Wallace and Farrelll were seated and voted in the caucus last night. With Ralph E. Moody, deputy, representing the attorney genenil in support of tf disqualifying opin ion, and Senator Dickson present ing his own case, the senate cre dentials committee got at its job first and the house committee was compelled to mark time while wait ing for Moody to appear before It. The senate committee, which at noon was listening to Dickson's ar gument that he had not disqualified himself, did not expect to report back until late In the afternoon and the report was expected to be followed by a lengthy fight on the floor. House organization was postpon ed until late In the day in order to allow for a Joint session with the senate to hear Governor Martin's message. Except lor the Jobs of reading clerk and doorkeeper the senate organization held over Intact from the regular session upon adoption of a motion to that effect.

In the house Speaker-elect La- tourette announced trmt ' ic com mittees of the regular session would remain unchanged with few ex ceptions, and that the committee on public Institutions will be enlarged and will handle all capltol matters. The tentative program calls for point meetings and hearings by the two capltol committees, but they will ballot and vote separately. Following the anticipated . floor battle over the report of the cre dentials committee, which Is expec ted to be adverse to the claims of Wallace and Rep. Glenn O. Taylor, Jackson county, the house must go through the process of organization as determined by last night's cau cus. Taylor's eligibility is questioned on the grounds that he is a federal employe in his capacity as assistant clerk of the federal court at Med- ford. Latourette nosed Rep. Henry I mon out in the speakership race In the caucus last night when two of Semon's pledged supporters, Rep. Millard Rodman and Rep. Walter Norblad failed to appear until Just HERE IT IS, DARLING OUR WEDDIN6 PICTURE. BIG HEADLINE, n MARRIED TODAY". SOUNDS PRETTY FINAL SILLY! OF COURSE ITS I'LL SAY ! YOU'VE FOR BETTER .

They said they had been delayed by an arrest for speed ing en route to Salem rrom Astoria, but did not arrive in tho caucus room until more than an hour aft er the announced hour of conven ing. House republicans, led by Rep. William Knight, opened the fight to deny Rep. Wallace his seat in last night's caucus. A motion by Rep. Walter Fuhrer, R Marion, to allow only those rep resentatives who received official notices of the session from Secre tary of state Snell to vote, was de feated 28 to 27 as the house con tinued its close balloting. It took three votes before the house agreed to adopt the unit rule in approving Latourette's election as speaker. The first ballot was 31 to 29 against the plan, but the count was protested because only 59 votes were possible with two men absent and Wallace and Farrell both voting. Rep. Angell's motion to table the question was defeated. On the next vote the county was 31-28 for the unit rule, with one ballot blank. Illegal because 60 votes were cast, the tally was accepted, however, on another motion by Angell. Turning to patronage, the house CAN'T TELL, ANN.

The senate appointed Elbert Bed, Cottage Grove editor and several times house reading clerk, to hold that job In place of Mark Woodruff, Portland, resigned. Bartram O, Loughlin, Portland, was chosen doorkeeper to fill the only other vacant floor Job. The caucus declined to support ft steering committee, but instead threw upon all senate committees the responsibility of deciding whether or not bills were emergency legislation.
