f Unoflicial Italian sources inter- |

: In London, the speech acted u,sl

Officials of the League of Na
tions indicated hope that the
Italo-Ethiopian dispute might yet
be settled by peaceful means,
pointing out that the commission
of conciliation still has until July
26 to reach a decision or to ex
tend its deliberations.
In Tokyo, the newspaper Nichi
Nichi said the Japanese foreign
office attached particular import
ance to the HEast African crisis
because it was a dispute between
white and colored races, but a
foreigp office spokesman asserted
that Japan merely is “watching
with great concern.”

Goodrich pleaded guilty today toI
the brutal murder of 11-year-old|
Lillian Gallaher and was given al
maximum sentence of life lmpri-[
sonment at hard labor in the Michi
gan branch prison at Marquette.
The guilty plea came a few min
utes after the opening of the third

testimony by D, David R. Clark,
receiving hospital psychiatrist, that
Goodrich was not insane.
The confessed slayer, who had
decldred “it must have heen the
other side of my nature” which led
him to entice the girl to his one-l
room apartment here last Septem
ber 20, attack and murder her,
stood trembling before Judge Henry
S. Sweeny as the sentence, manda
tory under - Michigan law, was
pronounced. |
For two days the state had ha.m-l
mered at Goodrich’'s defense of
temporary insanity, and twice
Goodrich had been on the verge of
terminating the trial by pleading
guilty.
Today he asked one of his at-l
torneys to move for a brief ad
journment. At its conclusion he
said, in the presence of the judge,
court stenographer and other court
officials:
“Let’s get thig all over with. I
want to plead guilty.” .
Returning to the courtroom, Har
ry C. Hanley, attorney appointed by
the court to defend the former
inmate of an Ohio ‘asylum for the
insane, fermally entered the guilty
plea. i

ISSUES NEW BLAST
ATLANTA —AA)— Governor
Kugene Talmadge, Democratic
critic of the national adminis- .
tration, issued a new blast at
. the federal bureau of public
roads today as his state high
way board opened bids on about
$1,500,000 in construction—to be
built with or without federal
agsistance. 2
The governor, just returned
from Washington where he
conferred without apparent
success with President Roosevelt
and other officials, said “state’s
rights would be gone aglimmer
ing” if the state yielded to the
federal brureau in initiating pro
jects for construction.
ATLANTA, Ga-~—(p)—The Geor
gia highway board went ahead
with plans for a $1,500,000 road
conttact letting today as its im
passe with Washington over the
state’s share of federal road funds
remained apparently unchanged
by Governor Talmadge's call on
President Rosevelt.
In Washington, Thomas H. Mae-
Donald, Federal Roads Bureau
chief, said the next move for
settlement of the difficulties is up
“to Governor Talmadge,” adding
that although he believed the
status unchanged he felt the gov
ernot now has a “better under
standing of the problem.”
In its letting today, the high- =
way board arranged to receive the
bids in such a fashion as to pro- =
vide for payment for the projects -
out of state funds in event fed
eral money is not forthcoming.
No Change e
There was, meanwhile, little in
dication that either Governor
Talmadge or the state highway
board had changed attitude on the
controversy. i
MacDonald in- Washington said
his position was that two issues
were involved in holding up the
Georgia funds. One bore on the
“maintenance of an adequate and
competent highway organization
