Mills, vet era n A ssocl at el Ire f orrl r n staff writer, was the first AmtT Irao newspaperman to fly over the southern front In the Italo-Kthi-oplan war. In the following dis patch he describes the dramatic trip.) By James A. Mills .Copyright. 1935. by the Associated Press) ADDIS ABABA. Nov. 22.--1 have jiist completed a 700-mile flight over the southern front, penetrating two thirds of the way Into Ogaden prov ince right to the battle lines and south to Daggah Bur. During the outgoing and return flights, my plane paralleled Emperor Halle Selassie's giant, single -motored ship for parts of the Journey, while he was making his first visit to the war zone. Ras'Nasthu, Ethiopian commander, ln-chirf on the southern front, and his aide, Wehib Pasha, former general of the Turkish imperial army and Dardanelles hero, warned me of the danger of being shot down by Ital ians. I flew over Gorrahei, which the Italians occupy, flying sufficiently high to outdistance Italian anti-aircraft fire. (iorralu'l Bnmhed Oall.v From there, I flew to Daggah Bur, 150 miles northeast of Gorrahei. which is bombed daily by the Ital- i ..j i..po n .11 Kern inn mill farther to the northeast and general , 1 Vifiorfniiartor for th tftrilonlan SOUth- P em armies. The population of Daggah Bur, mistaking my plane for an Italian craft, fled the city. "Your flight Is a highly hazardous one," said Bas Naslbu. "because the unlettered natives know only Italian j planes. They will undoubtedly mis- j take your machine for an enemy piano j and may attempt to shoot you down. 1 "I advise you to fly at the maxi mum speed of 200 ml!s sn hour, maintaining the utmost height In or der to avoid anti-aircraft guns and rifle fire." Within a half hour I was flying , over Daggah Bur. where Dr. Robert W. Hockman has the only American field hospital In Ethiopia. The stars and stripes fly proudly from Dr. Hockman's tents, warning the Italians that they must refrain from bombing this remote refuge. Impossible Tft Land Owing to the lack of an airfield nd the presence of anti-aircraft equipment, it was Impossible to land, but I could plainly discern stretcher carriers carrying wounded to Doctor Hockman's hospital, which Is now the southermost outpost of the Ethiopian army. Plying thence toward Gorrahei. I cotild discern no large bodies of either 1 Ethiopian or Italian troops. This ap parently proved most of the Italian activities thus far have been confined to air bombing and tank attacks. Indeed, 90 per cent of the wounded In Jijiga and Daggah Bur hospitals consist of air bomb cases, most of them civilians, many of them women. ! I found no gas cases whatever, which Indicated the allegation thai MuFsolint was using chlorine or mus tard gaa was a pure myth South of Daggah Bur 1 was. shown fragments of several Italian tanks which the Ethiopians captured and vrecked. The Ethiopians claimed they beheaded all occupants as an example of the fate they said awaited other Italians attempting to rob Ethiopia of Ita independence. Inhospitable Land The whole vast Ogadcn war zone Is a barren, desolate forbidding waste with only scattering human habita tions. For thousands of square miles, the Inhospitable and unproductive Af rican plain Is covered with cactus, brush and brambtes reminding one of the wildest parts of the western United States. Everywhere I landed in the eight hour flight through the war zone. I found unbounded enthusiasm for the emperor. "Now that we have seen him en the actual battlerront, we know he will be as great In war as in peace and we are sure he will lead us to victory like Menelck." was one expression. The name of Halle Selassie was on everyone's lips. It was clear that the emperor's visit stimulated the morale of his troops. All seemed Impatient to face the blnrkrhlrt. j One hardy warrior said: "We are tired of the silly air bomb ings by Italians, which are not a real man s way of fighting.' We want to fight the Italians hand-to-hand a ral soldiers. That's why we tackled, half a dozen Mnks armed with ma chine guns while wo-had only rifles and swords." WTiea production control contracts in Jackson county, under tho four year term starting next year, will be "considerable leas" than undiT the one-year term, according to Couiuy A-Jent Robert G. Fowler. Today la the final date for filing of new contracts, and unless there ts a last hour spurt, the number will be less for the 1936-1939 period. In 1935, there were 84 wheat control contracts In the county. Any decline is attributed by the county agent to the fact that Jack son county wheat growers need their (rops for feed, and not to dlssatls fatcoln with AAA provisions. Establishment of a pctato cod 3 ron rrol committee, in accordance wt-.h the potato control code, effective De cember 1, la the next federal activity to claim the attention of tne county agent's office. Preliminary papers covering the potato plan nave been leceived from Washington, D. C. The potato law provides that any lerson raising more than five bushels of pottaes Is subject to the law. Most of the potato groxors of the county come under this ruling. There ire a numbe ro f ex tensive grower in the Central Point dUtrt.'t. and many small growers throughout the county. It Is expected that the machinery for the observance and enforcement of potato code will be set up in a few waaks. Buying Of Liquor Regulated By Sun GREENVILLE. S. C. Nov. 22. ,',11 The big argument in Greenville Just now Is "what time is sunset?" State law requires liquor stores to (Continued Prom Page One.) naval meeting. If it had not been ac companied by such a Jumbo-super-colossal explanation, Just as a cue. if you want the real reason for the Phillips trip, you nad better look In a direction exactly op posite to that of London. The best international authorities here would not be surprised if the whole Anglo-American far eastern policy were reopened and perhaps re organized suddenly one of these days. The latest north China develop ments are considered of far more im portance than the European situa tion. The passive aloofness policy does not seem to be satisfactory to many officials here. At the same time, they do not seem to favor any par ticular new policy. , It may or not be significant that the decision to send Phillips was reached the day after the British ambassador, Sir Ronald Lindsay, call ed at the state department to talk again about the weather.
