Possibility of All Europe Becoming Involved Seen By INS Correspondent By FLOYD GIBBONS (World copyright 1933 by International News Service. Reproduction In whole or part strictly forbidden.) ROME.

Sept. 16 (INS) Hello, everybody: I have delayed writing this report for one week. For seven days I have hunted high and low tor some slight ray of hoini for peace in Europe. I have found none. War, and war alone, will satisfy the Italian nation.

The decision has been made. The die is cast. There is no turning back. Nothing will prevent the armies of Italy from invading Ethiopia, un less it be the primitive warriors of the African king of kings. Italy has called an end to the days of parley, argument, discussion.

and consultation. Ethiopian War or World War Italy is determined she is not go ing to be talked out of this war, even by the League of Nations, by Great Britain, or by the uninforce-able recommendations of peace ad vanced by America. Only the armed Intervention of other powers and possibly the outbreak of a general European war with worldwide repercussions, can possibly prevent Italy from attempting to realize her aims. In other words, Italy announces to the world that this is her fight, and she is prepared to go thru with it, and she hopes the world will keep out of it, but if there is any other nation and she fears none from the smallest to the biggest if there Is any other nation or any other group of nations that wants to get into thi3 fight against Italy, then Italy feels she is capable of taking care of herself in that case as well. Now, a statement like that takes in a whale of a lot of territory.

Italy docs not desire British interference in her Abyssinian adventure and she does not believe Britain would come in against her at this time any more than Germany thought Britain would come in against Germany in 1914. Draws Definite Conclusion One week of investigating eveiyr possibility of a peaceful outcome, brings me to the following conclusion: Italy will withdraw from the league if the league makes any further interference In the Italo-Ethi-opian question. France will support the league, but will not support Britain in the application of the League of Nations penalties against Italy. Britain, if she endeavors to apply league penalties against Italy, will find herself at war with Italy. Britain, at war with Italy, would be inclined to increase the Austrian threat on Italy's north borders by looking not unkindly on Mr.

Hitlers much-desired reunion of Germany and Austria. Such a development would bring Franco in actively on the side of Italy. And once more, the poor old bankrupt, Impoverished, blood-soaked continent of Europe would be divided into two hostile, snarling camps, and the bloody slaughter of 1914 would befall again. Plain, Simple Facts This Is a most unpleasant story. I hate to write it.

I hate to believe (Continued on Page 2. This Section) nothing but the truth. He had been subpenaed to appear before a parish coroner's jury summoned to resume the inquest into the death of Dr. Gail A. Weiss, who assassinated Long.

Then Bmith, his Mack necktie waving over his coat collar, stormed out of the courtroom, heedless of the fart that he had defied the processes of law and order In East Baton Rouge parish. No one attempted to stop him. Instead. coatless, laughing men slapped him on the back and applause was loud. Homicidal Pistol Wounds The Weiss jury brought in a verdict of death caused by homicidal pistol wound3 in the head, chest and abdomen.

A coroners jury in Louisiana is not charged with fixing responsibility for death. Last week Is was stated that Weiss body contained 61 bullet holes. The inquest was concluded at 12:45 p. m. and the Jury reported Immediately.

Smith was the second witness called. Before he strode to the stand. Associate 1 1 John Fournet of the Louisiana supreme court gave routine testimony regarding what happened a week ago last night when Weiss stepped from behind a pillar In the state house and sent a bullet thru Long's abdomen. District Attorney Odom said the inquest was closed as far as he was concerned but Attorney General Gaston L. Porterle said he did not know whether he would pursue the inquiry.

Fired 10 Shots Into Weiss Murphy Roden, the bodyguard who grappled with Dr. Weiss as the eye specialist fired, told the inquest he fired ten shots at the assailant Roden said he shot to keep from being shot, as Dr. Weiss tried to fire again after shooting the senator. Just before Roden took the stand, Joe Messina, the senators favorite bodyguard, breaking down and weeping, said: When Weiss fired the shot I knew he (Long) was killed. I ran up and unloaded my gun into Weiss.

I ran up and shot the man who had shot Senator Long. The hearing, held in the East Baton Rouge parish courthouse, was charged with feeling as the audience was divided between backers of the Lonf political machine and opponents of the senators regime. After Smith's statement District Attorney Odom rose. I care nothing for his opinion of me or my acts, but he or anybody else who says I engaged in any plot to kill Senator Huey P. Long is a wilful, malicious and vicious liar, Odom said.

More applause sounded. Bodyguards, Deputies Rise The room held a half dozen of Long's former bodyguards who came to their feet during the scene between Smith and Odom. The district attorney's agents, who were there In number, likewise were on their feet. A furore was created when testimony was given that Senator Long's mouth bore a fresh cut when he reached the hospital and led to many conjectures over what happened the night of the tragedy. Dr.

W. A. Cook of Baton Rouge, one of the physicians who attended the senator, said the cut looked like a fresh abrasion but it was not bleeding. He said he did not know What caused it. Dr.

Cook, on cross-examination (Continued on Page 2, This Section) BLOCKADE i League Action in Event of Ethiopia Invasion Topic At Geneva Session SOVIETPOLISH TIFF Panama, Haiti, Ireland In Warning League Must Prevent Conquest GENEVA, Sept. 16. Reliable ureea disclosed tonight that a p-eliminary plan for an economic boycott against Italy In case that nation should launch an unprovok ed war are beng worked out among certain members of the League Nations. This disclosure came after a day in the league assembly in which Poland had snubbed Soviet Russia her delegates walking out on speech by Maxim I.itvinov, Ru slan foreign commissar and which Panama, the Irish Free State and Haiti had warned the league It must prevent the con guest of a smaller nation by i larger. The source in question said the British delegation to the league had suggested the Idea of a general economic blockade against Italy In case she attacks Ethiopia and that the plan for such a blockade bad already been provisionally mapped out.

The suggestion, regarded aa i preliminary and precautionary rro ject. was understood to be a sequel to the pledge given by Premier Laval of France that, if the worst came to the worst. France, Joyal to the league covenant, would be disposed to participate In collec tlve economic and financial sane tlons. French circles described the pol icy of France in the present emer gency as based upon a desire to limit as much as possible the scope of any measures of restraint which might be justified against Italy, It was stated that the project as elaborated, partakes particular-ly of the nature of a commercial boycott under which the nations would pledge themselves to neither sell nor buy anything from Italy. Those close to the negotiations cautioned that the suggested protective boycott should not be considered tantamount to an economic blockade since.

It was explained, the word blockade Immediately suggests the use of warships to enforce It. ADDIS ABABA, Sept 16. U.P.) Failure of the League of Nations to produce a settlement of the dispute with Italy confidently expected here will mean Ethiopia can no longer delay taking all defense measures, including general mobilization authoritative sources revealed today. IVe have put everythng off until the last moment In the hope of a solution and to show our complete devotion to the cause of peace, an official said.

16 UP) Gov. Frank F. Merriam today issued an order commuting to a life teim the sentence of Mrs. Nellie M. Madison, who was to hang for the murder of hi husband.

The action came as 'William J. F. Brown, Los Angeli attorney and former husband of Mrs. Madison, was preparing to appear bifore tlie state supreme couit to seek a reopening of the case. Had the senunee been carried out.

she would have been the first woman to die on the gallows in California. Mrs. Madison was convicted of NELLIE M. MADISON shooting to death Eric MadTsonT film studio worker and her second husband, in their apartment in Burbank in March, 1934, and sentenced to hang next October 4. Tliruout her trial she denied any knowledge of the slaying, but recently admitted from her cell In tiie women's state prison at Te-hachapi she had killed Madison, but had shot in self-defense.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept 16 (U.R) A. R. O'Brien, Ukiah publisher and prison 'director, notified today of the commutation of Mrs. Nellie Madisons sentence to life imprison ment, said: I think commutation is the right thing.

It wouldn't have been good sportsmanship for California to hang a woman for the first time in its history, while more cold-blooded murderesses escape the gallows. Im glad I lied to her. Id do It again. And, to be honest, I did ask the governor to spare her, but he gave me no promise." Dr, Dickie Given State Health Post As Dunshee Quits LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16 UP) Dr.

Borne names have been used over and over again to carry on the tradition of a well-known vessel.

There have been six Rangers since the first one commanded by John Paul Jones and about a dozen Enterprises. Occasionally, President Roosevelt helps think up names for the ships and he probably will look over those Secretary Swanson chooses for the 17 new vessels before they are made public. The navy ran into a little embarrassment on the submarines and the name of one of them had to be changed from Pinna to Permit. Checking over piscatorial data, officials found that the Pinna was a lowly molltisk, was close kin to tho snail and the clam and spent a lot of time buried in the mud. That wasn't very dignified, the navy thought, so the submarine was named for Permit, a fighting game fish of the pompano family.

By HAROLD PETERS (Copyright, 1935, by United Press) NUREMBERG, Germany, Sept. 1C (U.R Adolf Hitler told Nazi party chieftains today that Germanys new, drastic restrictive laws against Jews will make it possible for them to have their own community life in Germany.

He took occasion also to order members of the Nazi party to see that the ban on "individual acts against Jews was enforced. In his long awaited speech to a specially summoned reichstag session incident to the annual Nazi party congress here, Hitler concerned himself with Jews, with an assurance of peace and with the status of Memel territory warning to the powers that they must protect Germans from Lithuanian aggression and with official establishment of the Nazi emblem as the real sjmbol of the country in the national flag. From the world standpoint his reference to peace was of paramount importance. It appeared to say plainly that Germany would not encourage Benito Mussolinis ambitions and would adopt an attitude of neutrality similar to that of the United States. Tho he mentioned no names, he spoke with his usual forthrightness: There can be only one principle to guide our behavior namely, our great, unshakable love of peace, he said.

Such a declaration seems necessary because some of the interna-ticnal press continually seeks to make Germany the subject of Its fulminations. Now it is said that Germany Is going to attack France, then that aggression against Austria Is planned, then that German plans to attack Russia I do not know where.

UP) Tradition going back to George Washington's day will guide Secretary Swanson in picking names for the 17 new naval vessels now-under contract. There is an almost rltual-like ceremony to be observed In carrying out policies first started, according to story, when President Washington pulled the names for the nation's first half dozen ships from a silver punchbowl. At tiiat early stage, the story runs, the navy heads had 12 names and only six ships. Because they couldn't get together they wrote the names on slips of paper and dumped them in the punchbowl, Washington ending the argument hy picking half of them at random. Since then a wealth of precedent for naming ships has grown up and there is even a law that hattieships must be named for states.
