BREADS
 NEW REPR|SALS
Nations May Retaliate for Threats Issued By the
 Italian Premier
BY HAROLD ETTLINGER Limited Press Staff COrreSpOndentl

\OhltCU 1ICSS OtAkk OOTTCSVUMuCusl
 Paris, November B (UP) - Premier Benito Mussolini's angry threats to take reprisals against League of Nations members may inspire new, harsher league penal ties against Italy, it was feared to- day.
 The first reaction to Mussolini's announcements in France which above all seeks a pacific solution of the Italian Ethiopian crisis = was that his attitude was likely not to frighten league nations but to make their attitude even firmer.
 Though Mussolinis note to league members was threatening, it was not regarded in official quarters as be- ing so strong as had been indicated. It did warn that Italy would take action agal1.st those who joined in penalties, but its main purpose, as seen here, was to make it clear to the Italian public that it's govern ment was reacting energetically against efforts to cripple the East African campaign.
 France Is Apprehensive
 Hence its impression was min imized. Nevertheless, French opin- ion is still apprehensive over the effect of league penalties and Mus solinis threatened reprisals, not on- ly as concerns French trade but as

FRANK J. NAvIN DIES SUDDENLY Owner of Detroit Tigers Falls From Horse After
 Heart Attack

Detroit, Nov. 13.-(UP)-Frank J. Navin, president of the world champion Detroit Baseball club, died today after he suffered heart attack while riding with Mrs. Navin along the bridle path at the Detroit Riding club.
 Stricken suddenly, Navin pitched from his horse. Mrs. Navin, who was riding ahead of him, turned to find him lying at the side of the bridle path, the horse standing nearby.
 Wife Called for Aid
 She hurried to the riding clut and summoned aid. Employes said the baseball club president, who was GA, was unconscious when they reached him. His hand was clutched over his heart.
 The Navins' chauffeur and Mrs. Navin drove him three miles to De- troit Osteopathic hospital. He died 8 few minutes after arrival.
 Navin, an ardent horseman, kept two saddle horses at the club and had ridden almost daily for 12 years. Both his mounts were gentle.
 Hospital attaches said the white haired club owner sustained no in- jurieS in the fall.
 Navin had been affiliated with the Detroit club since 1903, but had to wait until this year to see it win its first world championship.
 Death came while he was in the midst of preparations to improve Navin field for next season. His stands were filled to overflowing last season. He already had direct- ed the beginning of improvements in which section of bleachers was torn to permit encouragement of seats. He believed the Tigers would repeat their victories next year.
 We'll known as 8 manufacturer as well as a sportsman, Navin was vice-president of the Michigan Steel Tube Products Go.
 He was member of the Knights of Columbus the Detroit board of commerce and many clubs.
 Mrs. Navin Collapsed
 Mrs. Navin was reported near col- lapse.
 First reports were that Navin had been thrown by his horse.
 Friends indicated. the strain of the 1885 World Series might have hastened Navin's death. Many of

YOUTH IS FREED
 BUT REARRESTED

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 13-(UP) Anthony Di Stasio, g, on trial with his father in Hudson's torch murder case, was acquitted by di- rect verdict today.
 Orly few hours before the case was to go to the jury, superior Judge Nelson P. Brown allowed a motion by William R. Scharton, young Di Stasio's counsel, for a directed verdict of not guilty.
 Anthony and Frank Di Stasio, 5l, Revere candy makers, have been on trial for their lives, accused of having murdered and cremsted Daniel Crowley, Boston freight handler, in a plot to collect $20, 400 life insurance. The fathers case probably will go to the jury to- morrow.
 In asking the directed verdict, Scharton argued that the govern ment had not produced scintilla of evidence to show that Anthony collaborated with his father in the supposed staying.
 Judge Brown, in directing young Di Stasio's acquittal, pointed out that any assistance which he may have given his father after the supposed crime could not be made the basis of a criminal charge. The son had legal right to help his father escape following the suppoS- ed crime, the court emphasized. If the son were to be prosecuted, Judge Brown said, 1t would have to be as an alleged accessory before the fact.
 Young Di Stasio was immediately re-arrested on a charge of being an accessory before the fact, pleaded not guilty and was ordered held in $l0,000 double surety.

DEATH PLEA NOT
 MUCH SUPPORTED
Doctors Do Not Believe in Taking Life Because
 of Fatal Illness

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 13.-(UP).- An unanswered petition for death robbed Miss Anna Becker of a brief but futile hope today that medical science would execute her in the name of mercy.
 The law formed an inmovable barrier to her pleas for death to end suffering from incurable injuries sustained in an automobile accident in October, 1883.
 Belief were divided on whether or not her plea should be granted, but positive action was blocked from the beginning by law.
 Miss Becker received many mes sages of sympathy but no aid. She is unable to eat solid foods and suffers great pain when she drinks fluids. She has no teeth, her legs swell when she stands on them only for 8 few minutes.
 She Gives Interview
 A newspaper reported in London interviewed her by telephone.

 Isn't there something that physi- clans could do to alleviate your suffering?" the reporter asked.
 "There isn't in my financial con- dition. My physician has done all he can for me- she replied. "He is a wonderful man, but I understand that only treatment in expensive clinics away from here would help me any-and even that might not do me any good. But can't even try that, and have no family to turn to-"

 It was stated, however, that Mus solini has been trying to broaden the negotiations into largeer An- glo-Italian, and possibly an Anglo Italian French, accord in the Medi- terranean, but that Britain is at present unwilling to accede to the proposal.
 Mussolini Proposal
 MuSsolini was said reliably to have proposed a 30 per cent reduc- ton of the normal British fleet strength in the Mediterranean, and to have suggested that the strength normally should be limited to that of August 5 last, when there were 240,000 tons of British warships there. Usually in the past, the nor- nal has been 430, 900 tons. At pres ent it is considerably more.

the fact that the legislative draft ing service, which draws up bills in presentable form, is now doing little if anything.
 Revisions of the 10-point pro- gram, according to several con- gressional leaders probably will de- pend solely on what the supreme court does with the AAA and the Bankhead cotton act. If these sur- vive their high court tests, demo- cratic leaders were hopeful of ter- minating the next session by May 15.

 Buffalo, N. r., No. 13.-(UP)-- There isn't anything left in this world for me, SO I want to die. But can't find anyone who will help me out and there are two things which have prevented me from talk ing by own life.
 In the first place, I havn't the courage. I've thought about it lot during my suffering of the last two years. I always thought I had 8 lot of courage to have stood what I have gone throufih but when 1t comes to committing suicide, I haven't nearly enough. The other reason is that it is against my religion.
 I don't see why some physician will not end my misery. How can they call that murder? I want to die. want to end 1t all. God gave me the right to live and I know he will give me the right to die.
 Death Only Thing Left
 Death is the only thing left for me in this world. Even if had the money to go to expensive clinics for treatment, there is grave doubt that anything could be done for me. I'm hopeless case and the world can get along without me.
