The key products cover all goods which the assembled experts believe could be converted by Italy for use in her war against Ethiopia. The public session of the representatives of 52 nations opened at 4:18 p.

m. in a tense, crowded chamber. Premier Laval of France appeared tired and dejected as he took his seat. Hugh R. Wilson of the United States sat among the observers in the non-member seats.

Augusto Vasconcellos of Portugal, president of the committee, announced that the body's object was "to restore just and honorable peace." Resolutions Adopted The members at once adopted a resolution inviting all governments to take steps to put financial sanctions against Italy for her war in East Africa into operation before Nov. 18. Sir Samuel Hoare, the British foreign secretary, told his colleagues that there was "nothing mysterious or sinister" about the Franco-British conversations in recent days. "No one can prophesy whether we shall succeed," he said, "but one thing I can promise we shall constantly act within the framework of the league." Canada led in a move, and was supported by other important countries, to put more teeth in that blockade by including coal, iron, steeH'and oil in the list of key products, the export of which to Italy is to be prevented. Sir Samuel quietly but firmly warned Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy that the anti-British campaign in Italy must cease and that the concentration of Italian troops in Libya might well be further diminished.

Ethiopia Asks Aid It was reliably reported that Ethiopia is sending an appeal to the league for financial assistance in waging its defensive war against Italy. The sanctions committee of 18 meanwhile adopted a sub-committee resolution to the effect that the enforcement of sanctions against Italy should begin first and that details such as clearing balances should be settled later. It was agreed, however, that such balances should be regarded as "good debts" to be recovered after peace is restored and the sanctions ended.

Cloud, will be, henceforth, assigned by authority of the mayor, and will be responsible to the mayor for the enforcement of laws and regulations pertaining to the operation of dance halls. This new method of procedure was determined Friday night at a meeting of the civil service commission with the city commission. Hereto-! fore the special police officers have I been designated by the chief of police, with no authoritative rules I for the selection of the personnel. Change is Ordered i These special officers have been paid by the dance hall operators or proprietors, and have been responsible to them. Officers to be designated in the future will be taken from the list of men, recommended to the city commission by the civil service commission, as being eligible for appointment to the police department.

The mayor will make his selection for dance hall officers from this list, and will rotate them to give all the eligible men the opportunity to serve as special dance hall officers at various times. Proprietors Must Pay Proprietors or operators of dance halls will continue to pay for these special officers, but the officers will be responsible to the mayor, and (See Page 2, No. 1, Col. 1) FATAL SHOOTING EPISODE HALTED BY JURORS FEAR Minneapolis People Afraid to Testify as to Identity Minneapolis (JP) New mystery at- tached itself today to the fatal shootings of two boys in the iron works strike riot of recent bloody history. A grand jury report, which remarked of a "great fear" among witnesses brought before it, said shots that killed the two came from "strategic points" in the assembled crowd.

The jury, making Its final report to District Judge Paul W. Guilford, condemned radio broadcasting of affairs similar to the riot on grounds it draws crowds into danger. A statement in the report that "avowed communists" control certain labor groups was linked with a recommendation that citizens organize a law and order group representing "all existing "We found," the report said, "a great fear among the citizens of Minneapolis in testifying before the grand jury, a condition which is very deplorable. "Our citizens were afraid to make a positive statement of identification leaving the jury without sufficient evidence for indictment and successful prosecution." Fund Sought to Make Ac curate Check of Spud Growers TOTAL IS FIXED 45 Cents a Bushel Tax To Be Put Upon All Over Quota Washington (JT) AAA officials watched Comptroller General Mc-Carl's office today to see whether they will be allowed to use of special funds to enforce the potato control act.

If so, it was indicated, the AAA will quickly move forward with the task of deciding the number of bushels each individual farmer may harvest and sell next year without paying a tax of about 45 cents a bushel. National and state allotments were announced yesterday by Secretary Wallace, but the individual i allotments were held up pending McCarl's ruling. Total Is Set The national allotment was fixed at 226,600,000 bushels. The state (See Page 2, No. 5, Col.

Edward A. O'Neal, president of the federation, pointing to gains in the recent vote on the corn-hog program, said his recent stump of the country convinced him "the farmers are on fire." "The boys are up on their hind legs" said the dapper southerner who heads one of the nation's largest farm organizations. Neither O'Neal nor the leaders from 11 "bread basket" states of the conference claimed there was no dissatisfaction with AAA, although they said the corn-hog vote showed it had acquired thousands of converts. Summed Up Opinion They summed up the farmer opinion in support of the AAA with quotations from the field: "I am for the AAA in spite of talk about regimentation and bureaucracy and I feel the fanner is entitled to the "Triple A' to match the protective tariff industry enjoys.

"The AAA has some Irritating weaknesses too much red tape, for one thing If it is feasible I would like to see more local control, with the whole thing decentralized. "If the AAA is unconstitutional, and it is impossible to rewrite it, then I will vote to amend the Constitution." V. B. Hamilton, Iowa federation secretary, said if the supreme court decision were unfavorable, "there'll be hell popping." EAST ELECTIONS AWAITED TO SEE BALLOT LEANING New York Assembly and Kentucky Primaries Seen as Keys Washington (JP) Political campaigning swept toward a climax in six states today in preparation for elections Tuesday that may reverberate into the 1936 presidential contest. Struggles to win the New York assembly, the Kentucky governorship and the Philadelphia mayoralty dominated national interest.

Students of politics watched these contests especially for auguries of Roosevelt fortunes at the polls next year. The new deal has figured to a lesser extent in electioneering for state offices in New Jersey, and hardly at all in Virginia and Mls- sissippi. Because New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have 97 elecoral votes, or more than a fifth of the nation's total, sentiment as between Democratic and Republican state tickets in those states could have a bearing on future party strategy. Those states dominate eastern po litical power; and it is in the in- dustr'iaf est that ReveU's opor- rr" enis assert ne has lost most ground. Concern Felt If this contention is not clearly (See Page 2, No.

SESSION IS NEAR January 3 Set as Next Date for Convening in Washington Washington (IP) Two problems year's relief program and America's future neutrality policy-stood out today from the host of others accumulating for the session of congress that begins January 3 two months from tomorrow. So many other Issues are arising for consideration at the election year session, however, that there is i little hope for the short, snappy term administration chieftains had planned. Since congress adjourned two months ago, the outbreak of war abroad and the concentration of criticism on the new deal spending program have rapidly projected neutrality and relief to the fore as issues.

The supreme court may thrust others forward during the remaining two months. Neutrality Discussed Even should hostilities in Africa end, neutrality will have a high place on the congressional program because the present law, hastily enacted at the close of last session, expires Feburary 29. There are sure to be demands for extending its scope for the future. Some legislators advocate an embargo broader than the present one, which applies only to arms and munitions shipments to belligerents. What the administration will offer for a relief program to follow expenditure of the $4,000,000,000 work relief fund has not been announced.

The only intimations of its nature have been statements by the President looking toward curtailment of the spending, and by Harry L. Hopkins, his chief aide, that the basis of the plan will be worfe, relief rather than the dole. Other Problems Loom Other, problems for congress are the long standing demand of the veterans for immediate cash payment of the bonus, and consideration of possible alternatives for NRA. What farm relief legislation comes up will depend to a large extent upon the supreme court's rulings on the AAA and the Bank-head cotton control act. But already Secretary Wallace has indicated he will recommend changes in the potato control law, and congress must decide upon the future of cotton loans.

() More than half the homes in this quake shaken city were reported vacant today by Chief of Police Roger Smith. Some, he said, were empty because of damage wrought by death dealing earthquakes. The others were left by families fleeing in fear of more shocks like those which in three weeks have caused seven deaths and damage estimated at $3,500,000. Residents carrying bedding and pets crowded railroad platforms yesterday waiting for outbound trains.

Women and children predominated. The weather bureau's count on earth tremors since Oct. 12 was 765. Cold north breezes and sub-freezing temperatures continued, adding to the discomfort. 450 Are Homeless The reconstruction committee, rushing its work, reported the total homeless to be 450, but said only 235 were dependent on outside help for shelter.

The others had found temporary abodes, the committee said. Railroad coaches, lighted and warmed, were pressed into service again last night for the homeless, many of them orphans. J. H. Rowe, special federal representative, said that in addition to funds for public repairs and relief of destitution, the government stood ready to send 100 men, equipped with trucks, to remove hazards to public safety.

S. Funds Diverted for Political Use Bismarck, N. D. (JP) With preliminaries cleared away, the government planned to call its first witness in federal district court here today in support of charges that former Governor William Langer and three associates conspired to corrupt administration of an act of congress. A Jury of 12 men and one alternate was completed yesterday and District Attorney P.

W. Lanier made his opening statement. Lanier told the jury the government would seek to prove that Langer and his aides conspired to divert federal relief and highway monies to themselves "for private, personal and political reasons." On trial with Langer are State Senator Oscar E. Erickson, chairman of the Republican state central committee; R. A.
