GENEVA. Dec. 18. (API Great
Britain practically abandoned the fa
mous Franco-British peace plan In
the League of Nations council.
Anthony Eden o Great Britain
said his government would not stay
with the plan unless Ethiopia, Italy
and the league all accepted It.
Speakers before the council Indi
cated the plan was dead, but no
counter project for ending the war
was put forward, and the council ad
journed after accomplishing nothing.
(By the Associated Press)
An Italian victory In the Takkaze
River valley of Ethiopia was reported
today by the Italian government.
The alleged victory concluded three
days of Intensive fighting with ap
proximately 800 men killed.
Simultaneously with the battle
news came a report lrom Paris that
well-informed sources Indicated that
France was considering dropping Its
Interest tn the Ita!o-Ethloptan war
should the League, of Nations turn
down the Franco-British plan for
peace.
It was suggested that members of
the league might drop their sanctions
against Italy if Ethiopia turns down
the pence plan.
French officials were represented as
having received a "discouraging inv
presslon" from Premier Mussolini's
speech at Pontlnla, where he said
Italy would "fight to the end." Mus
solini, again aggressively belligerent,
defied Europe to stop his campaign

Sharply focused on the diplomatic
front was the replacement of II Duce'e

His attack on "sanctionlst" nations
was his first public address since the
storm of international criticism de
scended on the Franco-British peace
i proposals which would partly dls
membar Ethiopia to Italy's political
and economic advantage.

ecutor ,R. Warren Miller, In summa
tion of the Erland's Point mass mur
der trial today, asked death for Leo
Hall, but left "the fate pf Peggy
Peterson Paulos In the hands of the
Jury."
Throughout a flo-minute argument,
Miller aimed his shafts at Hall, charg
ed with first degree murder tn the
sextuple slaylngs of March 38, 1034.
He touched but lightly upon the
case against Mrs. Paulls, Hall's co
defendant and accuser.
When Mrs. Paulos' name was men
tioned, it was as the state's chief
witness against Hall. Miller told the
Jiry, however, that Mr. Paulos, by
participation In a robbery in the
Frank Flleder cottage at the Point
where the killings took place, had
put herself In a position "where this
Jury can take her life.'
Mrs. Paulos wept, handkerchiefs
fluttered in the packed court room
and Hall grinned while Ralph H. Horr
made an impassioned plea to the Jury
to free the girl who "broke" the Er
land's Point massacre mystery.
If you believe this girl's story, that
ahe acted under fear of Hall, then
under the court's Instructions," Horr
said, "you must turn her loose."
