SELASSIE
MAY LEAD HIS
TROOPS TO WAR
BY Rudolph Dunbar

LONDON, Eng. (ANP)-Despite
all the advantages Of civilized muir
der which Italy commands, Mus
solinrs troops win have no easy
time conquering Ethiopia.
You can take that on the word
of Harold Pemberton, white, well
known British correspondent who
has just returned from Ethiopia
after visit which began in March.
Pemberton reports that Halle
Selassie is ready to fight. that he
has as the nucleus of {. mammoth
army, 100000 men trained along
European lines. He asserts that
the Ethiopian emperor is not loathe
to lead his troops in battle, but
does not wish to do so unless the
king of Italy on Mussolini take per-
sonal command of their troops be-
cause it would be undignified for
him to do so.
Every Man a Fighter
But circumstances, writes Penn
berton, may be too strong for Halle
Selassie, for in Ethiopia, every man
is supposed to be fighting man,
from the emperor on down.
Pemberton continues:
'"Tacticians in all parts of the
world are discussing the possible
ties if the comparatively small but
highly mechanical army of italy
comes to grips with the hordes of
ill-equipped but intensely brave
fighting men that Halle selassie
and his chiefs have mustered

Most Dangerous COIOred Man In
The World" Dead At Age Of II

CHICAGO (ANP)-The writer,
adventurer and traveller, Captain
Harry Dean, whom Sir Harry
Johnston once called, "the most
dangerous colored man on the face
of the EARTH" is dead in Chicago.
A young white man whose lit
erary life was begun in collabora-
ton with the late Captain Dean,
stood at his bier last Tuesday and
paid homage to the man whose
consuming ambition while life last
ed had been the worldwide free
dom of his people.
The young man was Sterling
North, the author of several best
sellers and literary editor of the
Chicago Daily News. Mr. North
was not only deeply touched in
wardly by the death of the ~
year-old patriarch, but he ais
gave written tribute III an article
in the Daily News. Across the
chasms of age, race and color,
North wrote in part;
Africa, for Africans
Ethiopia for the Ethiopians!
Africa for the Africansi Down
with white imperialism!
Those were the battle cries of
a black hero buried here Tuesday.
And not even Christophe of Haiti
nor Halle Selassie himself was
more stout of heart than this cru
sader who, at the moment of his
death, was still fighting to align
Chicago colored folk with the Eth
iopian cause.
His name was Captain Harry
Dean, and he was co-author with
the writer of this article of The
Pedro Gorino' story of his adj
ventures. He had struggled dia-

MITCHELL SCORED
FOR CONSIDERING
WHITE AS CADETS

WASHINGTON Il Congressman
Arthur Mitchell's pronouncement
that he would also appoint whites
to West Point and Annapolis was
regarded this week as step back
ward, by Aubrey ]. Carpenter, for
mer regular army clerk, who in a
statement to the aero cited the
discriminatory practices suffered
by colored soldiers.
Mr. Carpenter calls the Con-
sressman's attention to the fact
that there are men with the cav
airy unit at West Point college
trained, expert riflemen. expert
horsemen and letter men in ath-
letics, who devote much of their
time to increase the proficiency of
the cadets.
Applicants Face Ruse
Many OF these men," says Mr..
Carpenter, former clerk with the
cavalry unit, have made applica-
tons for appointment, but have
been turned down through the pre-
tense of physical defects. YET
he continues, these men are Civ
en- physical examinations periodi-
cally through their units and must
be on par to maintain their mill
tary status
The former clerk asserts that
there are six other units at West
Point all white: military police
detachment, service detachment,
motor transport corps. field mu-
sic and hand, engineer detachment
and field artillery detachment. It
is from them the colored cavalry
units that the cadets receive their
training.
Whites Get Appointments
Mr.. Carpenter states that ap-
pointments have been made from
the white units, but none from the
cavalry unit.
The irony of the situation ac-
cording to the former soldier, is
that the cavalry unit has defeated
the white units In all athletics, has
"a higher physical standard, as
shown by the post hospital statis-
tics. maintains higher morale,
and has successfully heldaA post
championship for many years.

POLL OF SENATOR CULHANE FAILS
 OF ITS PURPOSE
Only I35 of 3l2 Members Answered Questionable
 About Special Session

Hartford, Conn.,, Sept. l3- The poll conducted by Sen. George T. Culhane, D., waterbury, to. de- termine the sentiment of legislators as to whether Gov. Cross should call a special session of the gem eral assembly to deal with emer- gency relief and construction prob lems, was regarded by leaders to- day as having failed to commit d majority of the membership.
 Only 135 of the 312 members answered .Culhane's questionnaire. Of this number, it was pointed out, only 83, or 26.6 per cent of the to- tai membership, favored a session for relief measures. Regarding building program for state institu- tions, 102 favored an extraordin- ary session, representing 32.7 per cent of the membership.
 Other Features of Poll
 Only 45, or 14.5 per cent ap- proved an unrestricted session and 77 favored holding the program to emergency features.
 The governor has said on sev- eral occasions he would refuse to call a special session unless leaders of all three parties agreed on q definite program. The results of Culhane's poll were turned over to the governor but in view of his an- nounced attitude on reconvening the legislature, it was assumed it would in no way alter his decision.
 Assembly leaders have made no serious move to decide on pro- gram in advance.

CORONER RESUMES DROWNING INQUEST
Studies Evidence of DOu- ble Tragedy at Outing
 of WOrth's Employees

Coroner John T. Monzani has re. sumed his offlcial inquiry into the double drowning tragedy in which two persons lost their lives Aug. while attending an outing of em- ployes of Worth's. The coroner will soon begin g study of the testimony given by more than a dozen witt nesses at the inquest, and will then file a finding with the clerk of the superior court.
 The coroner's investigation was delayed because of his illness. The inquest had been almost completed late last month, when Coroner Monzani became i'll. The investiga. tion was held up until this week as consequence.
 Shermah Kramer and Miss Min nie Cohen of this city lost their lives when 8 heavily-loaded row. boat sank in pond near Beacon Falls, where the outing was being held. Several others were revived after being submerged, while the other occupants of the boat made short safely.

THIRD PARTY IS
 DEAD WITH LONG

Washington. Sept. 13.-(UP)- The bullet which killed Sen. Huey P. Long also doomed an effectual third party movement in 1936. cap- ital political observers were con- vinced today after studying first reaction to Longs death. A search of the political horizon failed to reveal figure of stature to merit attention as successor to the kingfish. Few believe that one can develop in the year elapsing before the next campaign. The most often- mentioned belief is that Longs ideas will continue. but that there will not be a leader of his calibre in 1936.
 Many never gave the Long boom serious consideration. His own reservation that he would run only in case the republican party nominated Herbert Hoover and the democrats Franklin D. Roosevelt was considered by many as thun- der in the distance.
 His chief threat, even if the alignment of events which he pre- scribed occurred, was regarded chiefly as against President Roose- welt. Those who took his words most seriously believed he might hope to gain enough democratic votes to assure a republican vic- tory. It had been suspected that his boom was accepted with grati- tude by republican leaders.

Webster, Mass, Sept 13. (UP)- Quiet ruled again today after a night marked by violence between members of opposing unions at the Stevens Linen company. Charging an attempt to break strike at the nearby American. Woolen company plant. United Textile Workers of America established picked line of 1000 outside a hall where 46 members of the Stevens Mill Pro- tective Association met. More than 5000 persons milled in the street outside.
 Fists flew and at least one wom- an was injured when the Associa- tion members attempted to leave the hall. A score of police finally restored order.
 President Richard Wales of the Protectives said only routine busi- ness" wds transacted at the meet ing. He denied an attempt to form an independent union.
 The Stevens Linen company has been operating on part time. The Protective Association claims 400 of the 700 workers as members, and the ULTIMA claims 800 as mem- bers.

New York, Sept. 13 - (U.P.)- Stocks gained further to-day in quieter trading, while bonds were irregular with U. s. governments lower, grains advanced especially wheat, which rose more than a cent bushel, and other commod- ities were irregular.
 Leadership of the stock market was surrendered by the recognized high-grade groups to the coppers. The latter at one time had gains ranging to more than points. Steels were firm although relative ly dull and motors were the same. Rails had a period of strength but lost part of their gains near the close.
 Demand for coppers was inspired by two factors, prospects for an increase in the demostic price, and by spectators who bought them on the assumption they were be- hind the market. It is an axiom in Wall Street that when the coppers join an advance, it's duration is apt to be short-lived. On that theory considerable caution was exercised late in the day and many traders took profits.

 San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 13- (UP)-Joe Vasconcelos, stormy fig- ure in Mexican politics since the overthrow of Porfirio DiaZ in 1911, suggested today that various armed bands and dissenters to the regime of President Lazaro Cardenas unite under his leadership ito clarify the situation in Mexico.
 The former secretary of educa- tion in the cabinets of Presidents Adolfo de la Huerta and Alvaro Obregon described himself as "in the feeling of Mexican people, the legitimate ruler of Mexico by req son of the 1929 election"
 He described as alternatives for the troubled Mexican sit uation the overthrow of the present regime or a "call to harmony for the purpose of holding a true pres idential and congressional election"
 Remnant of Gales Group
 "The present regime" he said, "is nothing but the remnant of the corrupt regime of Calles.'
 Vasconcelos' statement was made as revolutionary activity smoul- dered in the mountains of Sonora, in northwestern Mexico near the Arizona border.
 An alert man of 53, quiet, unas- suming and scholarly in appear ance, Vasconcelos has lived here in exile several years. Recently he scorned the offer of, amnesty to ex- lies by President Cardenas, saying they would have to arrest me if went back, for I would continue to oppose the present administration"

 The ball is primarily for the en- sjoyment of the young folks. they said, and older women who plan ned to come in Colonial rigs must step as best they can in hoop skirts and lacq pantalettes.

FRANK KELLOGG
 TALKS ON CRISIS

St. Paul, Sept. 13-(UP)-Frank B. Kellogg, world diplomat and former U. $. secretary of state, foresaw little possibility today of Italys actually waging war against Ethiopia in the face of massing public opinion.
 "Mussoilnt is talking mostly for home consumption" said Kellogg, framer of the famous Briand-Ke logg peace pact which France and the United States department of state spoke of invoking.
 In his first exclusive interview on the European crisis now endanger- ing the peace of the world, Kellogg said:
 "Italy's declaration that it is seeking to enlarge its frontier does not justify warfare. am loathe to believe that Italy will disregard overwhelming world opinion.
 In the event that Mussolini dis regards world opinion and engages in war. the gray-haired diplomat declared, "The United States will not become involved".
