arranged plan when bombers came roaring over them. AS a result, only 12 men were killed when the Ital- ian planes reduced the town. The morale of the troops in the south- ern army is at the highest. They boast of having shot down an Ital- ian observation plane near Gerlo- gubi, with terrifying consequences for the crew. There was no official confirmation of the achievement.
 When the long and eagerly await ed call to battle finally came to the defenders of Ogaden the chief tains, the military commanders and their Khaki-clad or white c lad warriors, following an age-old tra- dition, sat upon the ground and maintained 5-minute silence-an impressive manifestation of their gratitude that the edict to fight had come. Then they began inton- ing "Inhune! Inhune! Inhune!" (So let it beD. Not far from the squat ting soldiers workers were tacking big Red Cross flags on the roof of the hospital established by the Duke of Harar, oblivious of the ter- rife heat of the midday sun beat ing down on corrugated iron roofs.

CONSERVATIVES OFLABOR FORCE
 TO WIN DISPUTE
Radical Element at Ses- sion of Federation Seem
 to Be in Minority

Atlantic City, Oct. s-(UP)-The conservative leadership of the American Federation of Labor fought with apparent success today to suppress il1surgeTst moves on a
 half dozen fronts. The weight of control built up through the years was thrown against Q series of in- cipient revolts which threatened the harmony of the federation's 55th annual convention. The convention, which began yesterday, will provide the greatest test thus far for the conservative elements which have kept the federation away from many of the radical gestures advo- cated by some of its members. Insurgents To Lose A careful survey of some of the most controversial issues indicated that the insurgents, while rallying more strength than in previous years, would fall short of 8 majority vote.
 One faction, heading up through the Ladies' Garment Workers union and its president, David Dbinsky, began 8 drive last night to have the federation sponsor changes in the federal constitution to permit regu- lation of interstate commerce for some new MIRA set-up. This proposal, voted down in Aug ust by the executive council despite it's support at that time by Presi- dent William Green, will be rejected by this convention unless an entirely unexpected switch in sentiment oc- CUTS. Green no longer is backing the idea. No Labor Party
 The movement for establishment | of labor party also appears
 headed for defeat although it is
 commanding more support than in
 previous years. Green coupled the
 labor party idea with communistic
 influences in his keynote speech at
 the opening of the convention, thus
 effectively shutting of any debate
 on the issues as a purely American proposition. The industrial unions, advocating reshaping of federation 1 policies to permit mass industrial
 organization instead of the more
 select craft unionization, seemed unable to rally enough votes to put 1 over their program. The row in the
 building trades, which has settled
 down to contest between two men
 schooled in the technique of bitter
 labor fights, remained unsettled de-
 spite a lengthy conference on it | last night.

 With the Ethiopian Army, Harar, Oct. 8-(UP) - Dedjazmatch Nas- sibu, commanding the southern Ethiopian army, charged today that the Italians were using gas in their invasion of Ogden.
 Bursting aerial bombs, he told the United Press, had blanketed 8 wide area with thick yellow gas Causing soldiers and non-com- batants to fall to the ground and suffer painfully"
 From the descriptions of the gas reaching him from the front, he said, he believed the gas being used was mustard gas.
 "The Italian use of gas,". said the veteran Ethiopian commander, lis incredible and disgusting" A few of the Ethiopian regulars holding the front lines on the southern front have gas masks. But most of the irregulars in the region of Gorrahei and Gerlogubi, however, are defenseless against gas. The defenders of the Ogaden front, exultant at the prospect of battle, moved out of this strategic city to-day in secret to meet the invad- CTS. Movements of Halle Selas- sie's warriors from Harar, from Ji- jiga and in the vicinity of Cor rahei are, for obvious strategic req sons, being kept from the knowledge of all foreigners in accordance with strict imperial orders.
 AS Italian columns commanded by Gen. Rodolphio Graziani were reported advancing to meet the troops of Dedjazmatch Nassibu in what promises to be one of the bloodiest battles of this undeclared war, 100000 rounds of ammuni- ton distributed among the soldiers charged with defending Ogaden. Nassibu, whose field headquarters are somewhere north of Jijiga, in- formed me that his troops are un- daunted by intensive Italian air raids. Thousands of troops, con- centrated around Gorrahei, one of the strongest outposts of Jijiga, strategically abandoned their trenches in accordance with 8 pre-

approximately 3,47O miles in three hops. They are:
 London-Londerderry (Northern Irelan6, BIO miles.
 Londonderry-Port Botwood (New- foundlanO, 2,O6O miles. ..
 Port Botwood-New York, HOO miles.
 The southern route, to be taken in winter when bad weather vir- tually bars the northern one, will be in four hops:
 London Gibraltar.
 Gibraltar-AzoreS.
 Azores Bermuda.
 Bermuda-New York.
 This route, which also has an ocean hop of more than 2,000 miles, will be about 2,000 miles longer than the northern course. If pres- ent plans materialize, it will be op- erated alternately by the British government-subsidized Imperia ] Airways and Pan-American Air. ways, which already has a regular service between New York and Ber- muda.
 It is understood, however, that last-minute weather reports may divert planes from the northern to the southern route even in the sum- mer months when the weather can be far from fair over the North Atlantic.
 Air Bases Surveyed
 A preliminary report on the po- tentialities of Londonderry as a trans Atlantic airport and seaplane base has been made to the British Air Ministry by Maxwell Ayrton Yarchitect of the British Empire EX- hibition at Wembley in 1923. He estimated that a suitable airport could be established there for about $150,000. The Irish Free State has also put forward the claims of Gal way in Free State territory as an- other possible port of call at this end of the Atlantic hop.
 Two experts from the British Air Ministry, I. H. Mcclure and M. R Banks, have conducted 8 similar survey in Newfoundland and re- ported in favor of Port Botwood as a seaplane base. The airdrome will probably be at Glenwood, near Cobb's Camp.
 Meanwhile tenders have been in- vited for the construction of 8 sea- plane base in Bermuda, probably on one of the smaller islands. Plane Type Uncertain It has not yet been decided def initely whether airplanes or flying boats will be used on the Imperia Airways Atlantic services. It k believed, however, that airplane. will be used on one route and fly. ing boats on the other. The Short Aircraft company is planning te build 8 flying boat of 200 tons and 10000 horsepower designed to with stand any weather normally en- countered over the Atlantic. Owing
