WITH THE ITALIAN ARMY
ON ' THE NORTHERN FRONT.—
A series of severe encounters,
carrying the Italian army to Amba
Alaji and clearing out the Tem
bien sector with an estimated
Ethiopian loss of 10,000 dead,
shattered virtually all northern
registance today and opened the
way into the heart of Ethiopia.
The last remnants of any KEthi
opian organization left in the
Tembien mountains are 5,000 men,
absolutely surrounded but still
holding Ambi Addi, 25 miles west
of Makale. in the face of exter
mination or surrender to the
Italians.
The third army corps of white
Ttalian soldiers and the Eritrean
army corps of natives are pour
ing artillery fire into the town.
Planes are drenching the strong
hiold with bombs.
Last Stand
This last Bthiopian stand in the
Tembien sector is being com
manded ‘hy Ras Seyoum, holding
forth at Abbi Addi, his birthplace,
which he hag declared he never
will relinquish alive.
Ras Kassa, the second princi
pal Ethiopian chieftain on the
northern front, is believed to have
escaped from the Fascist offensive
which crushed his army, but to be
in head-long flight inty the in
terior, with no more than 50 men
as a bhodyguard.
It is impossible to question the
scope of the Italian victory. Ethi
opian bands are fleeing in all di
rections. Fascist planes are fol
lowing the retreating columns
across the Takazze and Gheva
rivers to the west, bombing them
fircely.
KEven more startiing develop

prospect.

PANAMA 15 SIGNED
United States Will No
Longer Intervene in Case
of “Disorder.”
WASHINGTON, —(#)— In pur-]
surance of President Roosevelt’s |
“good neighbor” policy, the United!
States today agreed to abandon itsl
right of intervention in Panama.
In a treaty signed by the two
governmentg today, the United
States gave wup ig right, held since
constructicn of the Panama canal
began, te maintain “public order
in the cities of Panama, Colon,
and the territories and harbor ad
jacent thereto in case the republic
of Panama wshould not be, in theé
judgement of the United States,
able to maintain such order.”
That right was conferred upon
the United States in the 1903 treaty
which has governed the relations
of the two countries up to the pre
sent and which the new pact is
designed to replace.
The United States had contend
ed in the past that this clause au
horized it to intervene not only in
the case of actual disorder but al
so in case of a threatened disorder.
Panama objected, protesting that
this specific grant of the right of
intervention no longer was war
ranted under present conditions
and was contrary to the non-in-

On Serious Proportions
Citizens of City Walk Up
‘And Down 40 Flights or
Stay Marooned. |
MAY SPREAD MORE
Wall Street Section May
Be Affected Before
Nightfall.
NEW YORK,—(#)—The paraly
zing sweep of the New York
building employes’ strike spread
through most of the city today,
ajthough James J. Bambrick,
strike leader, announced agree
ments rapidly were being signed
with building owners for restora
tion of workers.
Elevator men, janitors and other
employes were ordered out of all
buildings north- of 14th street by
Bambrick, president of the Bulild
ing Service Employes’ Union.
Shortly afterward, however, he
announced the Metropitan As
sociation of Building. Owners, rep
resenting 110 apartment houses on
swank Park Avenue and the up
per west side, had agreed to the
union terms.
Men in those buildings went|
back to work at onee, promised a
§2 weekly increase, a closed shop
and a 48-hour week.
To Spread by Night
By tonight, Bambrick declared,
the strike would be extended to
the Wall Street financial.district,
the only portion. untouched by
the morning walkout. i £
There was sharp disagreement
over the number of men who act
ually had left their H o
the end of the day 6,000 buildings
would be affected, with 75,000 men
idle, © Department stores as well
as apartments and office build
ings, he declared, would be with
out service.
William D. Rawlins, secretary
of the realty advisory board, said
a police estimate of 270 buildings
affected on the upper west side
was ‘“tremenduously exaggerated”
and that Bambrick’'s claim of 1,-
400 buildings already closea was
“tco impossible to mention.”
75 Buildings
Not more than 76 buildings on
Riverside Drive and the nelghbor-[
ing west side region have lost
their employes, Rawlins said. In
the Bronx, he added, “there
might possibly be 20 or even the
police figure of 30.”
Employes in the northwest sec
tion of Manhattan and the Bronx
were called out yesterday, with
workers in buildings between
east H9th and 110th streets order
ed to join them this morning.
HOW THEY FARED

struck down the old farm pro

“I do not regard this farm act
as a panacea or as a final plan”
he said. “Rather I consider it
2 new basis to build and improve

human life and resources wlthl

(The law authorizes $600,000,000
in subsidies to farmers annually
to withdraw land from commerci

soil building growths or other
“economic”’ purposes. The money
will be paid either directly to
farmers or through states which
set up approved conservation pro

which have programs.)
