' An “Absurd Crime
I Bt
Peace Talk That Cheered
| World First of Week
Rapidly Fading

|
i BY DALE HARRISON
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
| Benito Mussolini, with = fervent
|and heroic phrase, declared war
Saturday on the League of Nations’
| program of boycott.
| The boycott, he cried, is “the
|most odious of injustice.”
| History, he shouted to his 'black
{shirt followers, will brand the
,‘“oc'onomic siege” 4s an “absurd
crime.”
“They (the nations of the League)
will perceive,” he declared, ‘that
the Italian people are capable of
Heroisms like those of the soldiers
who avenged Aduwa with glory
|and carried civilization to the soil
|of Africa!"
| He was sounding the praiseg of
|fascism which celebrates its four
|teenth anniversary Monday.
{ Become Restless \
In Africa his men at arms were
becoming restless for lack of bat
tles. There have been advances on
hoth the northern and southern
fronts, but nothing approaching a
hattle. Even Aduwa and Adigrat
were occupied without much more
than shiping, skirmishing resist
ance.
Inside the disputed boundaries of
Haile Selassie’s kingdom the black
warriors move by the tens of thou
sands, some northward, others
southeastward from Addis Ababa.
They have no intention of letting
the Italian soldiers’ wish for act
tion go unanswered.
At last Mussolini's minister to
Ethiopia, the stubborn Count Luigi
Vinei-Gigliueei, has left Addis
Ababa,
Peace Talk Fades
The peace talk that cheered a
worried world a week ago had fad
ed to a whisper Saturday night.
Great Britain, upon whose shoul
ders much responsibility for what
Lappens must inevitably fall, an
nounced . her financial sanctions
against Italy would become opera
tive Tuesday. A “buy nothing
from Italy” boycott will begin just
as soon as the League gives the
signal.

SUSPECTED SLAYER
OF SCHULT/ DEAD
Albert Stern, Sought By
Police, Thought to Have
Committed Suicide
By WILLIAM A. KINNEY
Associated Press Staff Writer
NEWARK. N. J. —(&)— Albert
Stern, the 21-year-old hoodlum
police suspected as the major exe
cutioner in the bloody warfare
that smashed the once powerful
Duteh Schultz® mob, was found
dead in a cheap hideaway.
Suicide was the tentative verdict
of Chief Medical Examiner Harri
son 8. Martland, who said the
chances that f{urther investigation
would point -toward murder were
“very small”. -
Described by New York detec
tives as “the meanest Kkiller since
the late Vincent Coll,” Stern in
death looked anything but the
well-paid hired assassin. His cloth
es were shabby and wern. 'There
were no soles in his shoes. His
room . rent was unpaid.
Stern’s death, apparently caused
by ‘illuminating gas poisoning and
strangulasion, blasted police hopes
that his apprehension would start
them on the road to the solution
of the tavern massacre in-<which
Schultz and three henchmen were
mortally w o u n @ e d Wednesday
night. |
Stern took whatever he knew
with him in death. He did leave
a scrawled pencil note, but all iti

United States Reaffirms Stand
Of Neutrality In African War
BY STANLEY P. RICHARDSON
(Associated Press St{ff Writer)
WASHINGTON — (#) — T h e
United States through Secretary
Hull reaffirmed its stand of inde
pendent neutrality toward the Italo-
Ethiopian war Saturday night, but
expressed “sympathetic interest”
in efforts by others to bring a halt
to armed conflict,
In a formal communication to the
League of Nations, ‘the secretary
of state gave this reply to-an invi
tation to comment upon the pro
gram of sanctiong against Italy and
to outline steps taken by this gov
ernment. : .
i Carefully, Hull. refrained from
making any direct committments
'on the League's efforts to halt the
African conflict through economic
pressure. In fact, the ‘“interest”
expressed in halting war was so
drafted as to apply to any or all
wars,
l In substapce, : the. American -re
ply to the League’s' communication
was a summarization of steps: tak
en by this government under the
neutrality law. To this was added
a reiteration of America’s intention
to remain uninvolved and of its de
sire for an early "halting of hestili
ties. iy !
In the lengthy note, delivered
through Hugh P. Wilson, - Ameri
can minister toSwitzerland, to Dr.
Augusto De Vasconcelos, president
wr the League’s -committee of co
ordination, Hull said: ?

The location of the fair, at the
bommunlty Center on Lumpkin
street, contributed very largely to
its success, it was declared. This
fact emphasized the wisdom of the
Legionnaires in selection of the
property on Lumpkin street for a
community recreational center, in
asmuch as the crowds found the
fair easily accessible.

ASHFORD BRILLIANT
Play of Whatley, Francis,

Visiting Eleven ~
BY JACK REID
A soaring Crimson Tide, forget
ting a disastrous start of this fall’s
campaign and bringing back mem
ories of a Rose Bowl champion
ship, came from behind yesterday
to repulse a valiant group of over
anxious Georgia Bulldogs, 17 to 7,
before an estimated crowd -of
around 23,000 football-crazed fans.
It was the same attack that only
last week pounded Tennessee out
of the Southeastern Conference
running, and promises to repulse
many other gallant elevens before
the present campaign is over, that
caught the Georgia Red Raiders,
and hurled championship hopes far
and wide. %
| The Bulldogs scored first, when
' John Bond, who played a brilliant
,gumu. faded back and shot a per
fect 32 yard pass to Al Minot who
lumk the ball on the 'Bama goal
line and stepped across without
being touched. With Charlie
Treadaway holding the ball, Geor
gia’'s co-captain made a perfect
placement for the extra point and
the Bulldogs took a lead, which
they held until the second gquarter
when the Red Elephants equaled
the score with Young Boozer car<
]r_ving the ball across for the touch
down, and Riley Smith adding the
extra point,

by penalties amounting to 90 yards.
Time after time the Bulldogs
neared the Tide goal, only to have
the strict officials make a Crimson
defensive stand unnecessary with
long and frequent penalties. . .. ..
It was an anxious crowd tha
