ADDIS ABABA. Sept. 31. (AP)
Ethiopia la ready with aufflclent
troop at vital pollnta to offer the
stiff est resistance ahould Mussolini
follow his rejection of the Geneva
peace plan with hostilities, Emperor
Kallle Selassie told the Associated
Preaa tonight.
The little ruler said he had hoped
that the Increasingly grave relatione
between Great Britain , and Italy
might halt Mussolini In hla threat
ened Ethiopian campaign.
Italy's action in refusing the plan
caused Ut I : surprise here. Ethiopia.
It was explained, haa accepted the
proposals In principle, but telegraph,
ed Geneva for clarification of certain
proposala, especially those giving the
league the exclusive right to appoint
a chief aupervlaory delegate over va
rolua expert commissions and also
uggestlona that the entire civil
Qooulatlon be disarmed.
Tola proposal would be difficult to
fulfill because In Ethiopia, wnere
"every man la a soldier." the question
of arms la a point of honor.
Halle .Selaaslo waa encouraged by
Tlewa expressed In some European
capitals that Italy might change Its
poaltlon next week.
Ethiopia's long rainy season ends

LONDON, Sept. 21. (AP) Benito
Mussolini turned down the peace plan
of the League of Nations Saturday but
Geneva saw a possible silver lining
behind this dark cloud on the Euro
pean horizon.
Despite this refusal, a spokesman
for the Italian delegation to the
League of Nations said, Mussolini Is
disposed to negotiate the grave Issue.
In saying "no" to Geneva the Ital
ian cabinet left the way open for
further deliberations and another of
fer. Its refusal was couched In
friendly language and the com
munique had none of the bristling
phrases which have characterised pre
vious announcements from the fas
cist capital.
Although naturally disappointed, no
It rent surprise was expressed at the
action by officials In London or Addis
Ababa.
Mussolini's cabinet gave as a rea
son that the proposal does "not offer
a minimum basis sufficient for a
conclusive realization which finally
and effectively would take Into ac
count Italy's vital rights and Inter
ests." Another cabinet session was called
for Tuesday when It Is hoped fresh
overtures may have been received
from Geneva.
Emperor Halle Selassie told the As
sociated Press In Addis Ababa that It
It' Duce'a action meant hostilities,
Ethiopia Is ready to offer stout resist
ance. With the end of the rainy season
expected next week, many Etholpians
believe Italy's drive will begin shortly
' afterward.
Great Britain, although officially
asserting "we have no quarrel with
Italy," went forward with Its speedy
defense preparations In the Mediter
ranean. That sea now has the great
est concentration of war vessels under
the Union Jack since 1918.
Officials admitted th moves were
"defensive" and let It be known Brit
ain wilt act without delay should her
Interests be threatened by war In
Africa.
Prance's cabinet, meeting In spe
cial session, disclosed a hues boost
ic the budget for armaments. Pre
mier Laval called the meeting off
when Informed of Italy's action and
hastened back to his office.
Markets generally were quieter, but
etui reflected nervousneis over the
ltuatlon. Nearly W.OOO.OOO In gold
haa been ahlpped to America within
a week, an unofficial survey disclosed.

PLANS EMERGENCY
PARLIAMENT CALL
Upholding Of League Cov
enant Policy May Require
Session Public Interest
Centers On Movements
Of Fleet.
By Henry Tostl Russell
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
LONDON, Sept. 31. (UP) The
British cabinet, meeting on Tuesday
In Its first full gathering since the
emergency meeting last month, may
discuss summoning a special session
of parliament to deal with the Ethio
pian crisis, It was understood tonight.
It was believed that unless the sit
uation Is oonsldered one of poten
tial war, that It would not be neces
sary to convene parliament, since the
government already has announced
Its policy to the house of commons.
However, If the government's plan
of carrying out Its announced policy
of upholding the league covenant "to
the fullest extent" Involves the ap
plication of International penalties,
the government may require further
consultation with parliament.
It Is expected at Tuesday's meet
ing that Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign
secretary, will formally summarize his
recent reports to the government on
developments. Including those he has
given to recent partial meetings of
such cabinet members as are In Lon
don. News from abroad, particularly
from the Mediterranean, waa eagerly
devoured here today. Newspapers are
arranging to Issue extras. If war
ranted, at any hour of the day or
night, Including Sundays; Just as at
the outbreak of the World war.
Advices from Gibraltar and Malta
were heavily displayed, showing that
both the British Mediterranean
strongholds are preparing at full
speed against the possibility of war
and air raids.
There was considerable Interest In
a dispatch from Lisbon, announcing
that Portugal, traditional ally of
Great Britain, had given permission
for the landing of a British seaplane
bombing squadron In the Tagus
river for refuelling, while enroute to
Gibraltar.
It was also announced that a visit
of part of the British fleet to Cyprus,
strategic British Island In the eastern
Mediterranean, had been cancelled,
indicating extension of fleet activi
ties elsewhere, presumably closer to
the Suez canal.
FRENCH INCREASE
PARIS, Sept. 21. UTi Franca de
cided upon a huge Increase In arma
ment today In view of a threatened
Ethiopian war and its possibly dan
gerous consequences.
The cabinet, meeting at Rambouil
let, summer home of President le
brun, was still silent on the question
of sanctions but announced a big
boost In IMS defence appropriations.
Most of the 6,500.000 francs (about
1430,000,000) extraordinary . budget
will be for national defense. Marcel
Regnler, minister of finance, wilt bor
row the money.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 31.
Lieutenant-Governor James A. Noe,
an embittered lieutenant In the Huey
Long political machine, tonight
threatened to split the organization
by running as an independent can
didate for governor after he had been
rebuffed by the -faction' caucus,
which selected Judge Richard W.
Leche as the administration's candi
date for governor.

the Huey P. Long share our wealth
.platform and my announcement
stands. I'm going to run. My friends
are sticking by me."
But In defying the Long party In
his proposed Independent campaign,
Noe was deserted by the Rev. Oerald
L. K. Smith, national organizer of
the "share the wealth" society, and
Wade O. Martin, who announced their
support of him when Noe Jumped the
gun and announced his candidacy
ahead of the caucus.
Smith, who was credited with get
ting Noe to announce prematurely,
said In a statement that he would
support the administration ticket be
cause It Indorsed the "platform of the
share our wealth society."
Martin said he would support the
administration ticket and had ac
cepted the candidacy for the senate

he can obtain direction.
The radio station at Athlone, In
the Irish Free State, was directed to
transmit weather reports to aid the
aviator during the first quarter of

monoplane at 5:45 a. m. today, but
Dr. James H. Jimball, government
meteorologist, predicted that- Waitkus
would tun Into fog.
In West Orange, N. J., the filer's
23-year-old wife sat by a radlo-and
waited for reports. An anxious vigil
was likewise kept In Chicago by the
family of the youthful filer winging

His father, An to. proprietor of a
plumbing shop; his mother, Mary, and I
sister, Antoinette, gathered with
friends. All expressed confidence
Waitkus would reach his destination.

in a commemoration of Stephen Da
rius and Stanley Glrenas, who crossed
the Atlantlo two years ago only to
crash 375 miles short of Kaunas.
Waitkus' plane rose from the air
port at the crack of dawn after the-
.filer had kissed his bride of IS

To Youth Depression
Rapped,
KANSAS OITT, Sept. 31. UP Dr.
Bums A. Jenkins aald today It would
be a "boon to morality" for the gov
ernment to enable young people to
marrr early, -:
"If young people' Indulge more 1n
Illicit relationships now than In for
mer years," said the noted pastor, lec
turer and Author, "economic condi
tions are to blame."
Dr. Jenkins was interviewed on the
ere of his 38th anniversary at what
now is the Kansas City Community1
church. He charged both church and
state are falling In their duties to
ward the nation's youth.
"It is the government's duty, he
said, "to. make It possible for young
people to marry early quite early.
It would be a boon to morality. Mak
lng a successful marriage Is a1 hard
Job. but It Is the finest Job In the'
world.
He said churches "don't give half
enough time to youth. They are run
for the. middle-aged and the old."
Dr. Jenkins became pastor of the
Lin wood Boulevard Christian church
In 1907. The church changed It name
In 1030.
There were many Innovations In
eluding Sunday night motion pic
tures and a forum following the pic
tures. The Wednesday night prayer
meeting which Dr. Jenkins termed
"old-fashioned" gave way to din
ners, followed by a book review, a
talk or debate and sometimes a dance.

Threatens Injunction To
Halt Hearing Unless
Called.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 31. (AP)
New complications loomed In Tom
Mooney's Habeas Corpus bid for free
dom today as court action to halt his .
hearing was threatened and another
potential witness In his behalf ap
peared. The court action was threatened
by Warren K. Billings, who, like
Mooney, Is serving a life sentence for
the 1018 San Francisco Preparedness
Day bombing.
Marshall R. Spencer, 88-year-old
odd Jobs man of Ofegon City, Ore.,
said he could support Mooney's
claim that ha was more than a mils
from the bombing scene at the time
the blast kilted 10 person and In
jured 40 others. Spencer said he
would "be glad" to help Mooney but
did not want "to get mixed up In the
case."
Frank P. Walsh of Mooney's coun
sel said Spencer's story waa "Inter
esting" but late, like many others
which have been volunteered In the
years since the bombing. Walsh said
no decision had been made by htm .
and his associates on whether an ef
fort should be made to bring Spencer
here to testify,
Mooney, held In Jail here during a
week-end recess of the Habeas Corpus
hearing, satd he did not Spen
cer, who claimed to hava been with
him and Mrs. Mooney n the roof of
the Ellers building on Market street
when the bombing occurred.
Billings said at Folsom prison that
unless he was permitted to attend the
Habeas Corpus hearing, he would pe
tition the California Supreme court'
for an Injunction to halt It.
No petition had been filed, how
ever, with the clerk of the Supreme
court here. .,. ;
Billings, who also Indies ted he may
refuse to give . a deposition to
Moqpey's attorneys, satd he objected k
to the Habeas Corpus proceeding
without his presence as "deleterious
to the best Interests" of himself.
The Oregon City man told Sheriff
E. T. Mrs there that at the time of
the preparedness Day tragedy he was
the Janitor at the Ellers building,
where Mooney's wife had a music
teaching studio and they mads their
home.
One of the exhibits offered at the
hearing during Its first week was a

Mrs. Mooney on the roof of the build
