CONFERENCE MAY
 SETTLE STRIKE

Wauregan, Conn, Oct. 22-U.P0 Adjustment of strike of 750 op- orators at the Wauregan- -Quine- baug Company, mills, resulting from an increase in working hours, was sought to-day at a conference of United Textile workers organizers and company officials.
 The strikers, who left their looms yesterday, charged the concern en- deavored to increase working hours from 40 to 50 a week without pro- portionately increasing wages. This was denied by the company through Treasurer Gordon Narrower. who said extra pay had been offered and the increase was temporary to en- able completion of large order by November 1.
 Complaints were registered with the state labor department the con- cern had violated its voluntary NRA code agreement, employed women more than 40 hours week and had given outsiders" preference in en- ployment over local jobless weavers.
 The walkout was orderly and early settlement was anticipated.

NURSES PROVED
 TO BE HEROINES

New York, Oct. 22-tUP) -Nurs- es, heroic in a hospital fire early to- day, prevented panic and possible disaster. by transferring patients, many of them bodily, from fam ing wing of Samaritan hospital.
 The fire was confined to an outer wall in which 1t started from a shorted electric circuit. Thirty-sev- en men and women patients and 10 babies, threatened by the brief blaze, were reported later to have suffered no apparent i'll effects. They remained in the east wing, to which they were transferred, as much of hte west wing was flooded.
 A night nurse, Miss Rebsher. en- tering a top, fourth-fioor room to attend two men patients, found the wall blazing. She quietly notified Miss Frieda Jacobs, night superln- tendent, who turned in an alarm then marshaled 20 nurses.
 Nurses had removed the patients in most immediate danger when firemen and police arrived.

PEOPLE AFRAID OF AIR RAIDERS
Philippians in South and Central Sections Never
 Sleep in Homes
By REYNOLDS PACKARD (COpyrIght 1885 by United Press)


 Djibouti, French Somaliland. Oct 22.-(UP)-The people of central and southeastern Ethiopia, especial ly in the vicinity of such strategical- ly important towns as Diredawa, Harar and Jijiga, live in constant dread of raids by Italian bombing planes, according to travellers just arrived here from those regions. As night falls, these observers of con- ditions in the interior says, some- thing closely approaching panic grips the entire population of many towns, villages and cities. All lights. both public and private are extin- guished by 6:30 p. m. The natives overwhelming fear of noctural air raids makes them prefer to grope their way homeward from work like blind men through darkened streets rather than risk giving Italian bombers any such visible targets as street lights would furnish.
 Windows Darkened
 The windows of private homes are triple-curtained after dark so that even the thinnest ray of light may not escape. Many families eat their suppers hastily, spreading the food on the floor and consuming 1t by dim candlelight. "The people prefer to sleep under bushes outside the town" one traveller told the United Press, mot returning to their homes until after daybreak. If big bird flies overhead, 1t is apt to be mis- taken for an airplane. Even in the day time 8 distant soaring vulture is enough to send people rushing to specially constructed holes in the ground, the efficacy of which as pro- lection from bombs is doubtful. A flock of large birds often causes the spread of erroneous alarms that an air raid is about to begin. Noth- ing will convince the people oi fIarar that bombing of their homes will not be the next step in the Italian military campaign"

JAPAN NOT TO TAX RICH

Strong opposition to any tax pro- posal resembling the American "tax- the rich" program, was voiced by K. Takasashi, the finance min- ister, during recent conferences with individual cabinet members. According to a report from Tokyo 1t is understood that the finance minister contended that "so-called rich" people actually have very little cash, therefore, extra taxation would not supply remedy to Japans financial ills. It was gen. erally feared that the finance nlin- istry's intention to restrict the is- suance of budgetary deficit bonds

NATIONS TO HOLD
 NAVAL SESSIONS
Five Leading Powers Will Meet in London Before
 End of Year
(Copyright 1S5 By United Press)

Copyright 135 By United Press)
 London, Oct. 22-(UP)--It is practically certain that @ five-power naval conference will be held in London before the end of the year, it was officially announced today. Ray Atherton, counsellor of the U. s. Embassy, informed the United Press today that he had visited the foreign office Monday to discuss naval matters, but declined to say more.It is understood that the Jap- anese naval attache here had been asked whether an early December date for the conference would be acceptable to the Tokyo govern rnent.
 Will Invite U. s
 It is regarded as certain that the United States, Japan, France and Italy will receive invitations since a meeting of the five leading naval powers at the end of this year Ol early next year is provided by thu Washington naval treaty of 192. and the London treaty of 1880.
 There also is strong belief ir well-informed diplomatic circle. here that Germany, and perhap. also Russia, will be asked to parti- cipate in the naval negotiations.
 The prevailing opinion in London is that the conference will be more or less of perfunctory nature in view of Japan's denunciation of the London treaty and Tokyo's insist ance upon naval parity with great Britain and the United States and the present strained atmosphere in Europe. The most that well-in- formed diplomatic circles here hope for the forthcoming gathering ,t that the powers will undertake to advise one another of their build- ing programs for the immediate future-perhaps for ten years ahead.
