Washington, March 5.--Battle royal is putting it mildly in de- scribing what is going to hap security program gets under consideration.
 Not in years has an issue aroused such intense feeling.
 A daily deluge of hundreds of letters, encounters with lobbyists and delegatoins, plus weeks of bitter committee clashing have keyed congressional interest to fever heat.
 The House battle will be a five-sided fight:
 1. Administrationites seeking to preserve as nearly as pos- sible the original form of the presidents program.
 2. Liberals who will try to make it's provisions more gener- Ous.
 3. Conservatives who will demand the administrators program be restricted solely to old-age pensions.
 4. Townsendites who will undertake to substitute their scheme for the presidents old age pension formula.
 5. Left-wing farrnR, labor and white collar groups who want to junk the administra- tions program entirely and sub- stitute for 1t the Lundeen. bill under which every unemployed person above the age of IS would be pail $10 week with $3 additional for each depend ent.
 Little or nothing has appeared in the press about this last pro- posal, nor the fact that the House Labor Committee has re- ported it favorably, and will movev to substitute it for the ad- ministration's bill.
 Likewise, it is q House Ways and Means Committee secret d combination of Old Guard democrats and republicans led Texas Kid Boots" Dies and Tennessee's Jere Cooper, near ly succeeded in stripping the administration bill off its uflem- ployment insurance provision.
 Only the vote of Chairman Bob Daughton saved the meas ure from this Tory raid. H
 What the outcome of the House fight will be is anybodys guess-except for two things. Neither the Lundecn bill nor the Townsend scheme finally will be approved.

Some time ago we recall reading in the Hartford Courant few remarks about cheap electricity and the effect of govern ment production and sale of electric pow CT. The lines ran like this: Cheaper electricity is always desirable, of course, but the item does not bulk as large in the family budget as all the talk and hulabaloo over rates would lead one to suppose As matter of fact and not of fiction, domes- tic electricity costs have been for long time steadily declining, despite rising tax es and higher prices obtained for other commodities. .. We always wondered if this wasn't true. What the electric com- panies could do, though, is to end the sus- picion that customers have that they are all not paying the same rate. One man boasts of how small his electric light bill was; another complains of the size of his. And the company thus is put under sus- picion and the idea of high rates prevails.

University's experimental farm, who

nization project. definitely cast his lot
with the colonists yesterday.
II feel I can be of more use here"
he said, although I did consider seri-
ously returning to the experimental
station work"
The colonists, who had petitioned
him to remain, greeted his decision
with enthusiasm. A number, in ad-
dition to upward of 20 families which
already have left to return to the
United States, had threatened they
would leave also If Irwin was not re-
tanned.
Irwin, who headed the experimental
farm conducted in the Matanuska VAL
ley by the Alaska University and the
Government, was one Of the first
executives on the ground before the
colonists came North.
He has taken a farm of his own, on
which he and his family plan to live.
His official position now is head of
the colony's farm division.
Meanwhile, S. r. Fuller, New York

Hopkins, F. e. r. A. director, to come
North following the widespread reports
of dissatisfaction six weeks ago, was
back in the United States to report
to Hopkins at Washington.

INSISTS PEACE
IN AFRICABE
TRIPARTITE
Terms Must Win the
League, Ethiopia
And Italians

LONDON, Oct. % U.N.SO.
Warning his countrymen there
are risks for peace" Prime Minis
ter Stanley Baldwin today called
for a strengthening Of British de
tense forces as a precautionary
move in the current world crisis.
Resuming debate on this crisis
in the House of Commons, Bald
win declared any S set t. e m n
reached between italy and Ethio-
pia must be "fair alike" to three
parties-Italy. Ethiopia, and the
League of Nations.
War Not in Mind
However, while upholding the
framework of the League in
moves to settle the East African
war, Baldwin made it clear that
Britain could not rely upon the
League for her own protection.
He said:
"The Government b all In
favor Of collective security rs
far a. the League can carry il
out, but / warn the country
there are risks for peace. say
this deliberately.
"NO isolated action on our
part is contemplated. We have
never had war in our minds.
but in the interests of world
peace it Is essential that our
defensive services should be
stronger than they are today.

be responsible for the Govern
ment of this country II / am
not given power to remedy
those deficiencies that have Oc-
CURED in our defensive serV.
ices since the World War;"
Sticks to League
Baldwin's speech saying any
settlement must be acceptable to
Geneva followed an official
foreign office denial earlier in
the day to reports that a peace
conference would be held be-
tween Foreign Minister Sir
Samuel Hoare, Premier Pierre
Laval of France, and Premier
Benito MuSsolini.
Baldwin added:
"Critics Of the government
may feel there Is q lOOp-hOIe
for going behind the back Of
the League.
Nothing like that is In
tended. The settlement must
be a tripartite arrangement.
"If any settlement can be
reached to shorten the time Of
war and remove the posi-
bility Of the war spreading, it
will be worth any endeavOr
provided these principles are
maintained"
Eden Is Supported
Baldwin declared the cabinet
unanimously endorses the activ-
ttieS Of youthful Capt. Anthony
Eden, British minister for League
affairs, at Geneva. Continuing,
he said:
"NO isolated action on our
part Is contemplated. We have
never had war in our minds. =.
But in the interests Of world

stronger than they are today.

ment Of this country If / am

First Rome dispatches indicat-
ing that Hoare's speech pleased
italian unofficial circles. were
welcomed by British diplomatic
leaders, who expressed the
opinion. however, that no further
action by Britain can be expected
for the time being,
Many believed that Sir Samuels
appeal to Premier Mussolini to
come to terms before economic
sanctions become effective may
be followed by diplomatic action
to bring the speech to II Duce's

MussoIfnI Orders Four

Men Go to Africa

ROME, Oct. % GN.S).-Diplo-
matte operations aiming towards
peace continued today, and the
tone Of Sir Sampel Hoare's speech
in London was favorably received,
but that did not deter Premier
MusSolini from ordering immedi-
ate construction Of four new
speedy torpedo boats.
He also dispatched 5000 more
troops to Africa.
The new torpedo boats, which
will help bolster the Italian fleet
in the Mediterranean against the
British combined fleets, no part
of which has yet been withdrawn,
will be the heaviest and fastest in
the italian navy.
The 1800-ton vessels were au-
thorized and funds were appropri-
ated before hostilities in east
Africa broke out, but their con-
Struction was held in allegiance.
They are to be named after the
Italian poets Oriani, Gioberti,
Alfieri, and Carducci.

Italy make a new peace move be-
fore the League of Nations puts

OFFENSIVE
Eth1opians Ordered to

LONDON, Oct. 23 Q.N.S),
Pushing adily northward
through the mountains Of the
Somaliland front, where native ir'
regulars, Dubats, are bearing the
brunt Of the offensive. Italian
forces today faced stern Ethiopian
opposition at the fortified citadel
Of Gorrahei.
Exchange Telegraph dispatches
reaching here from the southern
sector confirmed the capture Of a
nearby fortified town, Gidle, in a
stiff encounter in which 20 Ethi-
opianS were killed and wounded.
Orders to Hold 1t
But Reuters Agency from Adds
Ababa said that orders had been
issued to the commander Of the
Gorrahei garrison to hold his po.
Sition there at all costs.
The actual garrison at Gorrahei
is believed not to exceed 1000, but
ample reserves are nearby to rush
to the support Of the city, soon
to face a siege.
Ethiopian plans, according to
Reuters, call for destruction Of the
Gorrahei radio station If it is seen
that fall Of the fort is inevitable,
then a fight to the death.

ported that q squadron of Italian
armored cars had successfully
penetrated deep into the Bulei
