This sudden development In the Frav i-I t a Han situation ' came shortly after the French govern ment refused to withdraw colonial troops from Dlredawa, strategic cen ter on the railroad from Addis Ababa ta the sea. The ease of Monsignor Andre Jarosseau, 78-year-old leader of Roman Catholic missions In Ethio pia, aroused intense official interest. The aged prelate, who had been in Ethiopia 50 years, ministering especially to native lepers, was or dered out of the country by Italian authorities yesterday on charges of having made "hostile demonstra tions against Italy." "The sole question to discuss," Faul-Boncour declared, "is whether , the expulsion was justified. We think It was not." Paul-Boncour conferred imme S ditely with Charles Roux, French ambassador to the Vatican. After ward he said Count Charles de 1 Chambvun, French ambassador to Rome, would make representations to the Italian government. DE VALERA ARRESTS IRISH ARMY CHIEFS Jublln, May 21 (LP) President Eamon de Valera's government to day launched its biggest often against opposition factions with i.. arrest of Maurice Twomey, com mander of the Irish republican army, and his chief of staff, Ira Conlehane, prominent lawyer. Twomey and Conlehane were ar rested by officers of the political branch of the civic guards white they were leaving a church, where they attended mass, at Drumcon dra, a suburb of Dublin. Both were kustled off to Brlde l well prison where it was explained they had been arrested under the ' public safety act. The government long has been ac tive against the Irish republican army because of Its opposition to de Valera's policies but the arrest 'f Twomey and Conlehane represented Its biggest 'move to date.

Good Evening! Sips for Supper By DON UPJOHN Mrs. Mary N. Fulkerson. county superintendent, is about to wind up her school visitations for the year and devote her time to school graduations now showering down thick and fast. She has two schools to visit today and two graduation exercises to attend tonight.. And the same ratio for tomorrow night. "Where I made a mistake,' said Mrs. Fulkerson today, "was in not being born the Dlonne quintuplets. I could have made my way around to most of the places if I had been." But we make a small bet she'll get there as it, is. The great disgust recently ex pressed over discharge of Max Bishop as manager of the Portland Beavers has now reached the fever heat where local fans can hardly wait for the Beavers to get back home so they can hustle to Port land to the games. This is a nat ural result of all such great public uprisings of sentiment but remains tough on Frisco Edwards and his squad of aspirants. The disgust shown toward the Portland Beavers by non-attendance at games will probably reach heights similar to that shown by state house clerks toward the great M. ic F. institution on legal holi days at which times it seems to reach its peak. Tear gas is now being liberally supplied to all penal institutions so in case of riots or ructions the con victs can be caused to break forth in a general hubbub of blubbering. It never has been necessary to furnish tear gas for wives, sweet hearts and relatives of the convicts who are able to generate their own tears without artificial assistance. It's appropriate that occasionally the convicts should be called on to shed 4 few likewise. . - Hedda Swart's resumption of his i Table Rock theory makes us think j something should be done about it. We interviewed a few leading citizens this a. m., as to how the rain so unnatural to this valley could be stopped by getting the snow off Table Rock and a few of fered suggestions as follows: Herman Schellberg Let me get close enough and I'll blow it off. Don Hendry, premier golfer- Let me at It and It would make just a nice divot for me. I've left bigger holes than that In the turf at the Salem golf course. Leif Bergsvik I could melt It off with a gas furnace. Jim Kapphahn One of my pow er shovels could do it. Walt Thompson Let me get my flat feet on It and I'll squash it off. Of course, maybe some of these customers may be bragging a bit but any of them are welcome to try their own recipes. As far as we're concerned we don't believe Hedda knows whether there's any snow on Table Rock now or not. He Just figures be cause it's rained in the valley in May there must be snow on the rock. Architects' plans for the new state capitol are flooding the mails.

Several hundred were killed and injured Saturday at Pingshin, Sze chuan province, by a severe shock, the reports said. Sixty per cent of the buildings in Pingshin were leveled. Similar quakes occurred yesterday in Chungking, Szechuan province, and at Lanchow In neighboring Kansu province. Death and dam age from the latter shocks was not reported in meager and belated ac counts reaching here. Drums were beaten today, sac rifices offered and other magical devices resorted to by the terrified Chinese in their eagerness to ap pease the monsters they believe cause the shocks. The Chinese believe these earth quakes are caused by huge whales in the interior of the earth arching or rising their backs against the upper firmament or by angry drag ons wagging their tails.

The convict leader, who boasted he never would be taken alive, sur rendered without a show of resist ance early today in the Jack Fork mountains southeast of here. "Here I am," he shouted as "Old Boston,' the prison's famed blood hound led five man-hunters to his refuge in the brush. "I give up, he shouted. "I've thrown away my guns." he added, stepping into the open. The capture of Beavers left only two of the eight original fugitives at large. Warden Roy w. Kenny called in all possemcn, saying he was convinced the other two con victs, Julius Bohannon and A. C McArthur, were not in this section.

COLOR ROMANCES BANNED BY ILDUCE Rome, May 31 tn The lnfluen. tlal newspaper, II Me.sagero, drew a clear color line today for Italy's new empire, declaring' "The fascist empire cannot be an empire of mu lattoes." The emphatic editorial, In front page, two-column position, was one of the most outspoken on any inter nal matter that Italy has seen for a long time. It deplored widespread, if somewhat humorous, propaganda depleting the charm of Ethiopian women. H Messagero cited the example of other southern countries to show that the "formation of a hybrid po pulation arouses serioiis preoccupa tion among some leaders of govern' ment and science." The editorial suggested that many white women and families of col onists be sent to conquered Ethiopia and urged the formation of strictly white settlements, as well as native settlements under the, supervision of a few whites.

New Jersey's vote Tues day concluded the scheduled presi dential primaries. A series of dead heats and pri mary reverses has blistered the Bo- rah boom. The New Jersey primary landslide for Landon endorsed the Judgment of Ohio voters that Borah is not the most promising or repuo- lican contenders.
