I I WILMINGTON MORNING NEWS, WILMINGTON, DELAWARE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1935 ITALIANS SEEKING TO TRAP SEYOUM 2 Fast- Moving Columns Trying 'Scissors' Tactics on Wily Chief in North Ethiopian 'Tough Guy' Who Turned Traitor Aiding I Pursuit of Ex- Tigre Head MAKALE, ETHIOPIA, Nov. 18 (AP)-Two fast moving Italian columns began an attempt today to use "scissors" action on the wily Seyoum, commander of Ethiopia's northern army, and to disperse his followers. Ras Seyoum was reported to be the "chitets" or sounding mobilization drums to gather his men, estimated now at between 20,000 and 30,000. Among those in pursuit of the former governor of Tigre Province is a native Ethiopian called "estoclu," which is the popular equivalent in this country of "tough guy." Because of his hatred of Ras Seyoum, this village leader came to the Italian lines and asked only a chance to fight his foe. Wiley Seyoum Sought Scouts said Ras Seyoum had thrown out the blind of an alleged retreat, reality was still lurking in "then Tembien region and might yet fight the Italians before they reach Amba, Alagi.

columns with mounted Makale and Hauzien started marching to, the east into the Tembien region. Officers said they were expecting word of some contact with the elusive Ras Seyoum at any moment. General Emilio De Bono, who at the age of 70 directed Italian forces in their campaign of conquest, surrendered his command today and left for Rome. Taking the Italian high manchandes, ordered the construction of fortifications at every strategic point on the recent advance to Makale. The fortifications are Intended to further the Italian offensive by removing the danger of possible counter-attack.

Along the Aduwa Entiscio Adigrat Aksum line, where first Italian advance stopped, the Associated Press correspondent has seen dozens of fortifications, usually earthworks supported by brick walls and supplied with cannon, machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns. Even though the front line is miles in advance of these fortifications, they always guarded. At night, the sentinels are re-inforced. ITALIAN PLANES BOMB TOWN, KILLING CIVILIANS ADDIS ABABA, Nov. 18 (AP)The Ethiopian government said tonight Italian airplanes had bombed the civilian population of Enderta, near Makale, leaving a number of persons dead and wounded.

As Emperor Halle Selassie made ready to depart for the northern front. the government asserted the populace of the northern area around Enderta, which the Italians have occupied, had risen against Italian domination, because of resentment over the bombing. An official announcement said the refusal of the natives to provide cattle and cereals to the Italians without payment had brought on the bombing. Ethiopia's King of Kings, said an authoritative source, probably will go to the northern front within ten days. 3 BRITISH SOMALI MEN SLAIN BY ITALIAN FORCE BERBERA, British Somaliland, Nov.

Either there or in Philadelphia it will discharge the remainder.

Then load pitch in Philadelphia for France, thence home, "perhaps" by Christmas "if we don't lose too much time, you know!" Another storm stossed freighter, the S. S. City of Fairbury, is due at the Terminal today also with woodpulp, but this time from the Baltic Seaports, and carrying in addition a quantity of naphthaline. Advices received here were that she suffered damage off the Atlantic Coast Sunday. A third cargo ship, hardest hit of all, is the S.

S. Florida, en route to Wilmington, with lumber, but so badly battered Sunday that she had to put into Norfolk, for repairs. Charles H. Gant, manager of the Marine Terminal, said yesterday afternoon that he did not look for the Florida until about the end of the week. 30 Ships in Breakwater The unprecedented number of 30 large ships rode at anchor yesterday morning in the harbor afforded by the Delaware Breakwater, where they had remained for safety during the height of the gale.

By late afternoon they had started moving toward their respective destinations. The collier Hartwelson, one of its crew washed overboard, limped into Delaware Breakwater, after bucking mountainous seas off the Maryland coast since Saturday night. The three-masted schooner Lillian E. Kerr was escorted to safety in Hampton Roads after riding out the worst of the storm off Cape Henry. Tug and Coal Barge Safe The tug, P.

F. Martin, of Philadelphia, towing the coal barge Bavarian of the Oliver Transportation Company, of Philadelphia, which was believed lost storm, was reported safe to the Lewes Coast Guard Station. The report was received at 3:30 p. yesterday, and stated that the tug and barge were at Paramore Beach, 75 miles south of Cape Henlopen. The tug.

it was reported, put into the port with a broken propellor which was repaired. The tug and its tow then started under its own power for the Delaware Breakwater, where it was expected early this morning. The coal on the barge is consigned to Deepwater Point, N. J. Scores of small boats and pleasure craft were smashed or damaged in the New York area.

At Long Branch, N. the two old steamboats sank at their wharves. Twenty-one sailors of a reconverted submarine chaser jumped to safety when it was driven aground at Jamestown, R. I. At least 25 automobile deaths resulted from snow, rain and ice accompanying the storm.

Seventeen were accounted for in Pennsylvania, where the season's first snowstorm made highway travel hazardous. Five others were in New Jersey, and three in New York. Seven Missing Off New England Seven men were missing last night off the New England coast, five of them Rhode Islanders a 35- foot boat. Two duck hunters were unreported in Buzzards Bay. Five hunters from Amityville, N.

were forced to stay out all night in an open boat in the Great South Bay off Long Island, but made land Monday morning. Fifteen oystermen also spent the night in open boats off Deal Island, being forced to wait until the storm subsided before making port. Part of Pennsylvania lay blanketed under snowfalls of from four to 13 inches. In the Pocono Mountains, around Wilkes- Barre and Scranton, in the anthracite coal regions, thousands of motorists marooned on the treacherous mountain highways since Saturday finally moved on to safety yesterday morning and afternoon. Many suffered from hunger and exposure, and the suffering would have been worse but for the efforts of local agencies, including a company and the Wilkes-Barre Red Cross chapter.

Rescue crews of trucks and army ambulances ploughed through the snow-bound highways with food, blankets and gasoline. STORM PREVENTS LEWES PILOTS FROM LANDING Special to The Morning News LEWES. Nov. river pilots were carried out to sea when the storm yesterday prevented their leaving the ships they had brought down the bay and returning to port here on the pilot boat. J.

Wright Rowland, one of the youngest Lewes pilots, came down theriver at the helm of the Chennitz. When his ship reached the Delaware breakwater the storm was at its height and it was impossible to halt the vessel and put the skipper aboard the pilot boat Philadelphia. Consequently he remained aboard and was carried to Tampa, Fla. Thomas J. Virden, of Lewes, one of the association's veteran skippers, met the same fate when he brought down the Blackgull, and today he was in New York.

while Christopher Beckman. a Cape May resident pilot, was carried out to sea aboard his vessel bound for some southern port. The Blue Hen 1. a racing sloop owned by Leighton C. S.

Dorsey, of Wilmington, was swept from 1tS moorings at Lewes Beach and was saved from being carried out to sea by fishermen who succeeded in fastening a line to the boat.

NAVY PARLEY PLAN TO BE GIVEN TODAY Roosevelt Announcement Expected to Name U. S. Delegation to London Davis, Envoy at Large, and Admiral Standley Seen as Chief Delegates WASHINGTON, Nov.

18 (AP)-Selection by President Roosevelt of America's delegation to the forthcoming London Naval Conference is expected tomorrow in an announcement outlining general plans for participation. H. Davis, who represented the United States in the preliminary naval talks in London a year ago, conferred with the President for nearly an hour today on naval affairs. As he left the White House, Davis indicated the President would make his announcement tomorrow, but declined any further comment. Informed sources looked for Davis and Admiral William Standley, Chief of Naval Operations, to be named the chief American delegates.

Neither, however, has confirmed the report. Parley Opens December 6 The conference, whose primary purpose is to strive for an agreement to replace the London and Washington naval limitation treaties which expire next year, is scheduled to begin December 6. The American delegation must sail before the end of the month to arrive in time for the opening discussions. The Japanese delegation of 20 is already on the high seas, bound for London. The size and personnel of the American delegation is understood to depend on whether Mr.

Roosevelt requests Davis to attend the parley. Standley probably would take two technical experts with him. Davis. if named, is expected to recruit his aides from among State Department officials who specialize in Naval, Far Eastern and European affairs. The preliminary naval discussions in London last year ended without any agreement on a formula by which the naval des'ces and needs of the three chief sea powers might be achieved.

Japan's dissatisfaction with the 5-5-3 ration limitations placed on the British. American and Japanese navies was emphasized as the discussions drew to a close for formal denunciation of the Washington Treaty, effective December 31, 1936. The London pact automatically ends at the same time. Davis then said "the United States favors a progressive reduction in naval armaments in accordance with the principles established in both the Washington and London treaties." STORM TOSSED PLANE IN NEED OF REPAIRS His plane, a Bellanca Skyrocket, buffeted by the storm Sunday, Fred Powell. pilot for an oil company, nevertheless, "made" Washington, D.

C. from Kansas Sunday afternoon. He flew to Wilmington yesterday, landing at Bellanca Field. The plane, which will be held up here for repairs for several days at the Bellanca Aircraft Corporation plant, was pitched about like a feather during the storm, Powell said. Major J.

Whittley, of the U. S. Army Air Corps, was forced down at duPont Airport yesterday by motor trouble. A telephone call from there to Aberdeen, brought Lieutenant Brian up by plane. He and Major Whittley flew down to Langley Field later in afternoon after he had repaired the major's motor.

A. Felix duPont, accompanied by two friends, Mr. and Mrs. John Miles, of this city, flew to South Carolina yesterday from duPont Airport. They will spend a short time at the A.

Felix duPont, plantation in that State. REBELS CUT OFF EARS OF 2 SISTERS IN MEXICO MEXICO CITY, Nov. 18 (AP)Dispatches to the newspaper Exfrom Guadalajara tonight said a group of rebels attacked two sisters who were teaching school in San Martin Hidalgo, Jalisco, and cut off their ears, mutilating the father of the girls in similar fashion.

The Relief Commission, he said, faced with a huge problem will also no doubt require the services of many of the workers on the present relief staff. With the aid of Federal funds already on hand.

Mayor Collins said TERC will endeavor to carry on the support of the twenty some men now at the Single Men's Unit tor whites at Third and Washington streets, until December 1, or later if possible. The Sing'e Men's Unit for Negroes, Eleventh Walnut streets, he said, will be closed down in a day or two and efforts made to find work for the 38 men there, now receiving meals. The men at the Third and Washington streets unit, he pointed out, will have to be kept on a longer time due to the fact they sleep at the barracks and temporarily have no homes to go to. It was also decided, Mayor Collins said, to ask the Relief Commission, to cooperate with the Federal Government in working out some plan whereby the needy may themselves of the Government's offer to distribute approximately $38,000 in surplus food commodities here this Winter. Recently the Levy Court voted against giving an annual appropriation of $1620 for the salary of an administrator for the plan here.

It is Relief Commission, "and the WPA officials here, Mayor Collins said, to work out some plan satisfactory to both parties. Representatives of the workers for the contractors on dry excavation on the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal widening project placed their complaints about low wages and poor working conditions before individual members of commission yesterday after the close of the meeting. Mayor Collins informed the men he had the "utmost sympathy" for their problems but due to the fact they were now employed by the government he could not immediately do anything better their conditions. He promised, however, to lend the support of the relief commission to assist any individual family in "dire distress" as a result of insufficient wages. Clyde Miller, chairman of the canal workers' group, told Mayor Collins that he understood some of the workers on the canal project, were still receiving assistance from the relief commission, and he felt if that was case.

all those in need should receive similar assistance. Mayor Collins said he had no knowledge such aid was being given. Later Mr. Miller arranged to meet with Miss Alice D. Caskie, director for the relief commission this afternoon, to state the workers' complaint more fully.

Actress, Grid Star Reconciled HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 18 (AP) reconciliation between Dorothy Lee. film actress, and Marshall Duffield. former football star, was predicted today by friends of the couple divorced 10 days ago in Reno. They said Duffield, former U.

AAA ORGANIZES SURPLUS AGENCY Commodities Corporation to Encourage Domestic Farm Goods Consumption Unit Might Serve to Arrange To Divert Surplus Products To New Channels WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 (Tuesday (AP)-Organization of the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation was completed by the AAA today, with the new agency taking over functions of the former Federal Surplus Relief Corporation. The Surplus Commodities Corporation, the AAA said, will "provide means for effective use" of funds appropriated for the purchase of surplus products, and in encouraging domestic consumption of agricultural commodities. Circumstances may arise, the AAA said. under which the new corporation would serve as an agency to arrange for diversion of surplus farm products from normal channels of trade.

The commodities purchase section of the AAA, already established will handle the buying of surplus products. The commodities corporation is expected to arrange with state and local welfare agencies for distribution of the products to relief clients. Transfer of functions of the relief corporation to the AAA was begun last week, and AAA Administrator Chester C. Davis explained that the character of the organization was being changed from that of relief agency to a surplus removal organization.

The secretary of agriculture, the governor of the farm credit administration and the AAA administrator are members of the corporation. The surplus removal program was begun in 1933 and the AAA reported that as of November 1, 1935, a total of $204.156,727, had been spent. Of this total, the AAA claimed, 540.089 has been or will be recovered either in 'cash or in the value cf commodities used by the Government for relief distribution. OBITUARY NOTES Harry B.

RUSSIA SHIFTING FROM SOCIALISM TO COMMUNISM Continued From First Page reminded his listeners of Lenin's statement that food and other necessities would be distributed according to need, under Communism, and not in regard to the purchasing power of an individual because of his working capacity. The Stakhanovite system, called "rationalization of movements" for the more efficient use of tools, is now being used in several factories and textile mills. The process has met great opposition, however. Several Stakhanovite workmen have been murdered and others beaten. One person was sentenced to death and others were arrested for attempting to disrupt Stakhanovite operations.

Stalin called the movement the means of bringing production to the point where real Communism can be begun. Stakhanovite workmen, he declared. are approaching the position of technically educated engineers. He said the differences between mental and physical labor will eventually be removed, making his goal at hand. Opponents of the movement, the Soviet leaders asserted, should be crushed relentlessly.

Klenenti E. Voroshiloff. commissar of war and navy, davocated rapid spread of the Stakhanovite system to strengthen Russia's defenses. He declared "our enemies are surrounding us and preparing for war." G. K.

Ordjonokidze, commissar for heavy industry, expressed the belief the movement "will SO strengthen our country that no Hitlers and no Japanese imperialists will dare plot against our land." Miner Inaugurated System Alexei Stakhanov. Don Basin coal miner, who inaugurated the system, stepped up his daily output of coal 1.400 per cent. Workmen under the Stakhanovite method are receiving greatly increased pay, some earning more than 1,000 rubbles a month as compared with their old wages of 150 to 200 rubbles. Russians, however, 100k on the system not so much as a producer of more money, but of more comfort. By working his drill every minute for a six-hour shift, producing 102 tons coal as compared with his previous seven tons in the same length of time Stakhanov started the trend declared so "revolutionary" that it will change the Soviet Union's whole social structure.

Movement Spreading In two months the so-called Stakhanovite movement has spread to all lines of industry and even to agriculture and transport. The result, according to official figures, has been a great stepping up of the tempo of production and distribution which, Stalin declared today, opens the way to an era when the necessaries of life will be distributed according to need. That is one of the principal promises of Communism. Today the name of Stakhanov is next to that of Stalin as the best known in the Soviet Union. Following his example, it is offcially stated, miners have hewn as much as 550 tons of coal; a forger in an automotive plant has forged 1115 crankshafts; a shoe worker has put lasts in 1820 pairs of shoesall in one shift.

A woman worker in a textile mill now tends 144 looms. Wheat and sugar-beet harvesting and oil drilling have been speeded up; the average speed of freight trains has been doubled in some localities and car loadings show a huge gain.

Help END To Help PREVENT a Cold Many Sooner Take these three simple steps to Better Control of Colds 1. To Help Build RESISTANCE to Colds Live normally--avoid excesses. Eat simple food and keep elimination regular. Drink plenty of water.

Take some exercise daily- outdoors preferably. Get plenty of rest and sleep. (During the colds season, gargle night and morning with Vicks Voratone Antiseptic, especially designed for safe daily use to aid in defense against infection which may enter through the mouth.) 2. To Help PREVENT Many Colds At the first warning sniffle or sneeze, use Vicks -just a few drops up each nostril. Va-tro-nol is especially designed for the nose and upper throat- where most colds start.

Used VICKS in time, Va-tro-nol helps to prevent many colds--and to throw off head colds in the early stages. 3. To Help END a Cold Sooner If a cold has developed, or strikes without warning, rub throat and chest at bedtime with Vicks VapoRub. VapoRub acts (1) By stimulation through the skin like a poultice or VICKS plaster; (2) By inhalation of its penetrating medicated vapors, direct to inflamed air-passages. Through the night, this combined vapor-poultice action loosens phlegm, soothes irritation, helps break congestion.

These three steps form the basis of Vicks Plan for Better Control of Colds--a practical home guide to fewer and shorter colds. Developed by Vicks Chemists and Medical Consultants; tested in extensive clinics by practicing physicians; further proved in everyday home use by millions.
