Basketball.

One night last week | was fortunate
enough to hear short talk by a person
very much concerned with athletics.
and especially on the subject Of basket
ball He stated that the game was
not truly an American idea, but that
before the United States was founded
the Europeans INDUCED in a sport
founded on the same principles as
basketball
Although this sport is not of Ameri-
can origin, our version Of it was set
up by a certain professor of Harvard
in 1891 In the a years that basketball
has flourished, it has grown to be one
Of the most entertaining games both
from the standpoint Of the players and
spectators.
Basketball as set forth by this person
Of whom | am speaking is game of
skill, quick thinking and equally quick
decisions. Basketball is one Of The
few games in which no set plays Or
formula to follow can be used After
the tip-Qff the entire game depends
upon the ability Of the players.

HARRAR, Sept. 3 G.NSO.-To
prevent his population from be-
coming unduly alarmed, Emperor
Halle Selassie today threw a cloak
of secrecy about his war prepara-
tions, keeping them as unobstru-
sive as possible.
Army trucks are travelling Sc.
cretly at night distributing ammu-
milton. They are rarely seen in
the daytime.
A regular train of trucks is ply
ing a triangle formed by Harrar,
where there is a munitions maga-
zine, Jijgiga, and Daggah Bur.
Last night 1 saw nine trucks leave
Harrar, each carrying seven cases
Of ammunition containing 750
rounds to each case.
Six trucks loaded with soldiers
also slipped out.
The troops are being moved as
actively and quietly as the muni-
tionS.
Six thousand Ethiopians and 40
field guns were sent to Daggah
Bur and 5000 men and 20 guns to
Dawa Aleh.
A large reserve army is to be
sent to Bale Arusi in the noun
famous provinces 200 miles north
of Kenya under orders to await
events. Each soldier is being
issued $50 rounds of ammunition
and food rationS.

Edward F. Schrage, Navy Yard
employe, was found guilty of
sending a threatening letter TO-
day, fined $500, and then SEN
tence was suspended by Judge
Robert E. Mattingly in Police
Court.
Judge Mattingly explained that
he did not believe Schrage real
lied the seriousness of his Of
fense and had no intention Of
carrying out the threat, and for
that reason suspended sentence.
Schrage, who is 46 and lives

was accused of sending the letter
to Mrs. Harry Zola, a storekeeper

stating that her IA year old

Police said the threat letter
was the outgrowth of a dispute
between Schrage and Mrs. zola
over change given in a store
transaction involving the pur-
chase of three bottles of beer.
Schrage told police he gave Mrs.
Zola a So bill and received only
10 cents in change, whereas he

Britain Pleased
A statement by Everett Colson,
American advisor to the Negus

capital was involved in the deal
was received by government circles
here with great satisfaction. They
held this to be proof Britain was

1t was believed the oil deal has

The Ethiopian Legation today

that Leo Chertok, an American

LAWYER FLAYS
BRANDE|S
International News Service


An amazing personal arraign'
ment of Associate Justice Louis
D. Brandeis, 78, and vehement
criticism of the entire Supreme
Court decision in the Frazier
Lemke case was in the courts
record today in a brief filed by
Edwin A. Krauthoff, Chicago
lawyer.
His 113-page brief pleaded for
re-hearing in the case in which
the court on May q unanimously
held the Frazier-Lemke farm bank,
ruptcy law unconstitutional.
Mr.. Krauthoff's brief resounded
with phrases regarded as unprece.
dentedly personal in a legal docu.
ment filed in the high court.
Devoting three pages to a dis
cussion of Justice Brandeis, who
delivered the Courts opinion, Mr..
Krauthoff cited the Justices
writings in the past, including
"Other Peoples Money" and the
Curse of Bigness."
Discussing Justice Brandeis'
Frazier-Lemke decision, he said:
"The historian of the future
in recording the life of Mr..
Justice Brandeis will place the
document on file herein, if ad-
hered to, in a separate volume
or in parenthesis, for it is no
part of a career otherwise glOri-
Gus in all it's aspects"
Mr.. Krauthoff classed Justices
Brandeis, Stone and Cardozo as
Liberals" Chief Justice Hughes
and Justice Roberts as Con
servatives" and Justices Van De-
vanter, McReynolds. Sutherland
and Butler as orthodox"

SENATE TO BAN
u. 5. AID FOR
WARz0NES
Oil Coup Stirs Plan to
Refuse Help to
Firms Abroad
International News Service

Spurred by the Italo-Ethiopian
embroglio, a determined group of
Senators today mapped a drive
for legislation to prevent just such
a coup as that consummated by
American and British interests in
Ethiopia.
Senator Gerald P. Nye (R) Of
North Dakota, who, as chairman
of the Senate munitions investi
eating committee, was largely re
sponsible for the neutrality legis
lation enacted by the last Con
gress, is leading the movement
Senator Nye and his supporters
were never satisfied with the
legislation as enacted, and wanted
it to include an embargo on
American credit.
Warning to Capital
Now they want to include in
the neutrality legislation a proVi'
sion which will state to American
capital going abroad that it can
not expect the protection of the
nations armed forces.
Fresh from a survey of the
Eastern coast, Senator Nye said
"This situation brings up an
entirely new set of circum-
stances. In my opinion, strict
and comprehensive neutrality
policy should embrace more
than was even originally con-
tempIated by the Senate's NUM-
tions Committee. Subsequent
events have shown this"
He pointed out that develop
ments in the Ethiopian situation
have shown, vividly, the need of
such legislation as was enacted by
the session of Congress which just
concluded. Only, he thinks it
didn't go half far enough.
NO HELP FROM U. S.
"The neutrality policy-writ-
ten into the law OF the land
should provide specifically that
when an American takes his
dollars abroad, he should be
ready to care for them him.
without any expectation
that the SOldiery of the nation
of which he is a citizen will
step in and help him. We have
had enough of that"
Senator Nye confirmed the ex-
pressions of another member of
the investigating body, Senator
Homer Bone, (DD Washington,
the day before, that the extraord-
mary coup accomplished in Eth
opia would bear looking into by
the munitions committee.
He said he has experience with
bankers and other American fl
nancial czars attempting to en-
broil this country in foreign wars
on the basis of loans.

10 Ethiopians Face
Moose As Traitors

JIG JIGA, Ethiopia, Sept. 3
G.N.SO.-Ten Ethiopians accused
of selling Ethiopian military
secrets to Italy probably will be
hanged, it was stated here today
as they awaited trial.
The 10 allegedly were led by
Count Maurice De Rocquefeuil Du
Bousquet, Frenchman whose ar
rest was revealed exclusively by
International News Service last
Saturday. Count De Rocquefeuil
and his alleged accomplices were
taken from Jig Jig to Harrar
under custody.
The Count was alleged to have
admitted he received $500 from
Italians in one month.
