The state police Incline to the
theory that Hall wns killed by

Government officials said the
backbone of the rebellion, which
they claimed was communist-In

Some of the rebel leaders at
Natal fled from the victorious
loyal forces In a German com
mercial airplane which they had
commandeored.
Many Rebels Escape
About BOO rebels were report
ed to have escaped from Natal
aboard the S. S. Santos ot the
Lloyd-Braiilelro line. 1
President Getulio Vargas per

action In Ilio De Janiero.
Ho received an offer from Po-

Public Cars Taken
Public automobiles and buses
were commandeered by federal

Quota System to Limit

WASHINGTON. Nor. 27 UPi With tha administration consid
ering a quota system to limit exports of raw materials to warring
natlona, several members of congress expressed oeuei toaay tnai
more definite" neutrality legislation should he enacted.
New legislation would be required to carry out the proposal lor
quotas, which would permit belligerent countries to buy only a
"normal" amount of raw materials suitable for war uses. There

In line with the school of thought
which argues that a war trade
boom tends to draw neutrals Into
war. Some historians contend
that one reason the United
States entered the World War
was that It built up an enor
mous business selling munitions
snd materials to the allies.
Thus, it Is said, America ac
quired a "vested interest" in the
allied cause and eventually naa
to get into the struggle to pro
tect its stake.
At the same time. It is be
lieved, the administration seeks
to avoid the extreme ot cutting
oft all exports to fighting coun
tries, a plan which Senator Pope
(D-Idaho) will push in toe next
session of congress.
There have been slgnB, some
commentators say. that the ad
ministration's attempts to dis
courage sales to Italy and Ethi
opia by "moral pressure" were
aimed at keeping such exports
down to normal until congress
decides what further legislation
it wants. If trade with the bel
ligerents were kept down to nor
mal, some observers said, there
would be no boom balloon for
congress to puncture by restric
tive legislation, with possible
damage to the nation s economy-
Charges Answered
A state department spokesman
was stung to strongly worded
language by some recent criti
cisms of the neutrality policy.
These have included the charge,
vigorously denied that the
United States was helping the
League ot Nations in Imposing
anti-Italian sanctions, and is now
lessening Its pressure against
certain exports because ot the
league's delay In considering an
oil and steel embargo against
Italy.
One critic la . Frank H. 51
nionds, writer on International
affairs, who said In a speech
that the aim ot the neutrality
act Is being nullified by Ameri
can support of league sanctions.
He said the administration's
methods are drawing the Unl'ed
States closer to a coming Euro
pean war, and called for aban
donment of the idea that this
country must supervise other
nations' behavior.

An Ethiopian announcement ot
further victories on the southern
frontier and Italian prediction ot
a new type ot Italian campaign
in the north indicate the possi
bility of increased action in the
Italo-Ethiopian war la the near

Ethiopian sources said Italian

Ethiopian troops actually naa
carried the war ' into Italian
Somaliland.
New General Arrives
The new commander of the
Italian armies. Marshal Pletro
Badoglio, arrived . in Asmara
ready to begin more mobile oper
ations, according to his officers.
They said he would cut down
previously unwieldy units into
flying columns, dispose ot much
ot the motorization which the
Italians previously had used, and
try to smash into the interior of
Ethiopia with "flying wedges"
which would be supplied by pack
