Adds ABABA, Abyssinia. March
3o.-Soviet oil made an inauspicious
entrance into the Abyssinian market
yesterday.
A large order from Adds Ababa was
filled by Russian producers with a
shipment of 1,7O0 bidons, or tins, each
containing 80 Kilograms Q98 pounds
but when it reached Djibouti many of
the tins were defective and there was
considerable leakage on the wharf.
Nevertheless 381 bidons were sent
on by train to Adds Ababa. Soon,
however, the leakage of oil was so
great that the rails were covered with
1t and the locomotive was unable to
obtain traction, whereupon conductor
walked in front of the train and sprink-
led sand on the rails.
The train finally crawled into Adds
Ababa, but it was estimated that so
per cent of its cargo had been lost by
leakage.

keynoter at the national convention.
Iowa's 26 votes were filed in the

Senator BarkIey Favored.
The post of keynoter, or temporary
chairman of the convention, is to be
filled next Monday in Chicago by the
Arrangements Committee for the con-

upon Senator Barkley of Kentucky, who
recently asked his State to vote for the

Back of these immediate develop

critical struggle for votes in the East,
where the supporters of Alfred E Smith
are waging a tremendous campaign.
The unusual suggestion was advanced
yesterday by Gov. Wilbur L. Cross of
Connecticut that, to prevent strife, the
States convention votes be divided be-
tween Smith and Roosevelt Whatever
happens there, contest appears certain
for the big 36-vote delegation of MaSsa-

men for Smiths withdrawal, direct or

TARIFF ACCEPTED

Party Lines Hold Firm in Con-

BY the Associated Press
The tariff, ancient foot ball of politics,
Is acceptable once more both to Repub-
licans and Democrats as a campaign
issue.
1t is the one legislative question be-
fore Congress which has drawn a sharp
party cleavage and separated the
closely divided Senate and House on
Republican and Democratic lines.
The veteran political warriors Of the
Senate are having a magnificent week
breaking 1ances once more on this
familiar battle-ground.
Democrats Confident.
Democrats are confident that their
bill transferring from the President to
Congress the right to act upon rate
changes recommended by the Tariff
Commission will win on the roll call
which is expected Friday. The measure
has passed the House.
The legislation faces a certain veto
by President Hoover should it pass and
for that reason it has become a vehicle
for building up campaign ammunition.
Republicans have accepted eagerly the
Democratic challenge and have gone
with a vim to the defense of the Smoot-
HaWley tariff act as well as OF the
present Tariff Commission program.
Just as earnestly have the Democrats
renewed their assaults upon the hlgn
protection walls erected by the admins
tration in this 1880 law.
Veterans Keep Up Fight.
Debate finds the veterans on each
side of the aisle almost constantly on
their feet-Harrison Of Mississippi,
George of Georgia, Hull OF Tennessee
and Robinson of Arkansas, for the
Democrats; Smoot Of Utah, Watson OF
Indiana and Reed Of Pennsylvania, for
the Republicans.
Over and over they go, recalling
statements made by each other back
for 10 and IS years; reading the votes
of one another on various tariff items
and proposals.
Yesterday Watson and Norris OF
Nebraska, the Republican insurgent
leader. got back so far in history they
found themselves together again. Each
stated, and shook hands on it, that he
had thought the end of the republic
was at hand when James G. Blaine was
defeated for President by Grover Cleve-
land in 1884.
