c. J. Melrose, fellow Aus
tralian aviator on a solo flight
to Australia, was the last man
to see the Lady Southern
Cross. Flames were shooting
from its exhaust.
He joined in the search today.
Melrose and the crews of two great
Royal Air Force bombing planes
took off at dawn for Victoria Point,
700 miles up the coast at the south
ern tip of Burma, to fly out over
the Andaman Sea looking for the
plane.
Other bombers, on visit to Taip-
ing between Singapore and Victoria
Point, took off at dawn.
The aircraft carrier Hermes got
up steam here to cruise UP the
coast and reinforce the many ships
that were cooperating in the
search.
All along the coast of the penin-
sula, Malay and Burma natives beat
through the jungle area of the coast
and in the dangerous tangles of the
islands off the coast.
Dawn Intensifies Search
Dawn intensified a search that
had gone on all day yesterday and
all through the night. Natives Joined

The search, still growing, has be-
come one of the greatest ever made
for aviatorS lost at sea. Hundreds

What hope there was for the sur

on Kingsford- Smiths own intrep-
ldity; secondly on the fact that he
was last seen on or near the main
steampship route and that his
plane if lightened might float for
two days if it stayed up until the
sea moderated; thirdly that he
might have reached one of the
many desolate islands off the coast
from which there is no modern
communication.

The search upcoast was based on

lleved that the plane must have
landed in that area.

NAPLES. Nov. 9.-Four new fis-

streams Of lava, smoke and heavy
sulphur fumes today after an erup-
ton late last night.
The eruptive cone of the great
volcano, inside the crater, exploded
last night over a 60-foot line and
four assures formed at the base of
cone. Through the night and this
morning the assures emitted their
lava in thick streams and the vol
cano rumbled menacingly.
Should the lava overflow the
crater, villages on the northeastern

investigators Are to Blast
Open Inquiry Urged
After Stock Crash.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. - The
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion has its big guns ready to train
on a new set Of industrial giants.
Investment trusts, under fire
steadily since 1929, are TO be scrut-
lnized to determine what influence
they exert on companies in which
they are intere, ted, and how their
own investment policies are influ-
enced by affiliates.
SEC, acting promptly under au-
th0rity conferred by the last session
Of Congress, will make recommends
tons to Congress in 1887,
Stock Crash Recalled
At the time Of the 1929 stock mar
ket crash, $40 new investment COM
panies were in existence. A check
afterWard showed at least a third
of the financing that year was done
to supply their demand for capital.
Even during the Hoover Admins
tration, Senate and House inter-
state commerce committees began
studying the manner in which in
vestment bankers we're loading
doubtful securities on to investment
trusts, and otherwise profiting from
them The investigation continued
under the Senate banking and cur
rency committee, and finally Con-
gress decided to have a thorough
going Job done by SEC, under di-
rection of Judge Robert E. Healey
who was guiding spirit of the Fed
eral Trade Commissions utility in
vestigation.
Sift Control Today
Today, however, stress is being
laid on necessity for determining
to what extent investment trusts
are obtaining far-reaching control
over all industry. Several officials
have pointed out, recently, that in
Yestment trusts, some of them now
frankly branching out into the man
agement field, may exercise as much
control over utility operating COM
panies, for instance, as do holding
companies.
Atlas Corp, new Leviathan of the
investment trust world, probably will
be the first company to receive at
tention from SEC investigators. 1t
is a $1OO,000,000 corporation, the
biggest trust created so far, with
widely diversified interests.

of Emperor Halle Selassie today.
 Ten persons were killed and 30 wounded.
 A bomb hit the emperor's palace.
 The emperor himself was neither wounded nor excited. As soon as the bombardment was ended, he went to inspect the wounded and calm the poprlace.
 Major De Fraipont. one of the emperor's foreign military advisers, was wounded in the left arm.
 The thud of incendiary bombs from the first attack was followed by burst of flame. The Ethiopians responded with Q roaring tattoo of fire from anti aircraft guns, ma chine guns, and smooth bore guns. The planes wings were picked out in silver against 6 rising sun.
 Cries rose from women and chil- dren on the other side of the barbed wire obstruction around the Red Gross compound.
 Ethiopian Report
 Addis Ababa, Dec. 6-(UP)-Ital- ian airplanes which boimbarded Des- sye slightly damaged the emperor's palace, 1t was announced unoff1cially today. The emperor, it was said, re- ceived ample warning of the planes approach and escaped to . place of safety.
 It was understood that the gov- ernment intended to protest the bombardment to the League of Na- tions.
 (Any such protest presumably would be on the ground that Dessye is an unfortified town)
 Emperor Halle Selassie tele- graphed that a woman and two chil- dren were killed in the lombard ment and that five persons were ni- jured severely and 20 slightly.
 Unofficial reports said that two rooms of the Red Cross headquar- ters were set on fire by incendiary bombs but that patients were suc- cessfully evacuated.
 (Dr. and Mrs. Andreas Stadin, Americans of the Seventh Day Ad- ventist mission, are listed as being at the Dessye Red Cross station. Four trucks of Red Cross unit left Adds Ababa for Dessye Nov.

 Addis Ababa, Dec. 6-(UP)-Mak- onnen, Duke of Harar, l2-year-old son of Emperor Heale Selassie, stood bravely in the garden and watched the Italian planes bomb the emper- or's palace at Dessye today.
 In a radio message to the empress advising her of his safety, Halle Sel- assie described how the palace, nest ling in Q eucalyptus grove was shrouded with the smoke of bombs, and added: -..

 lures of scene with dramatic pos abilities probably unsurpassed in criminal annals. Members of the court indicated that if the supreme court makes them Hauptmarn's only resource of hope and if he asks to see them they probably would visit him in a body. There are eight men on the court, including Hoffman. As group they have the power of clemency reserved in most states to the governor alone.
 May Get His Chance
 Hauptmann may thus have a chance, without lawyers to aid him or prosecutors to hamper, to face eight men with the power to free him and plead his case. If he con- yinced five men of the eight that he was innocent they could free him by their word. If he touched their sym- pathies they might commute his death sentence to Imprisonment. The court is strictly a court of mercy and clemency.
 Hoffman, refusing to express an opinion or reveal details of his con- versation, said Hauptmann asserted vigorously that he is innocent. The fact that the governor requested other members of the pardons court to hear the same statement might indicate Hauptmann pleaded well.
 Mark O. Kimberling, principal keeper of state prison, said Hoffman stopped at his house near the prison about o'clock on mid-October pgiht. He and the governor drove to the prison entrance nearest the death house and told the governors chauffeur to return an hour later.
 "The governor waited in the death chamber where the electric chair is located" Kimberling said, while I went in and told Hauptmann to pull himself together nao not get excited. beckoned the governor in and had the officer on duty go out. l took charge of the death house. went to the other end of the death house and I could not, of course, hear what the governor and Hauptmann talked about"
 Parker Confident
 Trenton, N. J., Dec. 6-(UP)-Ellis H. Parker, famous chief of Burling- ton county detectives, is convinced that Bruno Richard Hauptmann did not kidnap and kill Charles A. Lind bergh, Jr., Gov. Harold G. Hoffman said today.
 Parker, whose fame as an investi- gator caused a book to be written about him, has been working on the Hauptmann case at the request of United State Senator A. Harry Moore, the governor said. Moore was governor at the time of the kid- naping.
 Gov. Moore wrote to MT. Parker and asked him to interest himself in the case" Gov. Hoffman said in re- iterating his denial of calling the famous detective. "He personally is convinced Hauptmann is not the man-that they have not the right man. There is no official investiga- ton on his part. Parker, from the very start, has been working on things that he thought would pro- vide some definite clew."

 News Was Censored
 The censor forbade dispatch of news regarding the locale of the first big battle, the Correspondent reported. But he added that when it came the emperor would be in personal command, with 600,O00 warriors at his disposal.
 Emperor Halle Selassie's decision to take the offensive, the corres- pondent said, was the result of completion of his mobilization plans. Picked storm troops already were advancing toward Makale.
 The News Chronicle correspon- dent said that in the mountains thousands of warriors had moved up near the front.
 Emperor Halle Selassie plans 8 big attack, but on guerrilla prin- cipleS, the correspondent said. He added that weather conditions fav- ored the Philippians, while slight rains were beginning to hold up the Italian lines of communication.
 AS to the situation in the south there is almost no news at all. But it is indicated that the Italians are somewhere near the bases which they held even before the war started. Philippians have re- ported some victories, and there have been war trophies and exhi- bition, including Italian tanks, at Harar and Addis Ababa.
 France Still Hopes

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-12-06

I'm Q time of emergency Q first class airport in Waterbury would be of great value to the city as one of the leading New England centers for munitions. It Is true also that aviation manufacturing companies naturally locate where airport facilities satisfactory.
 Waterbury today is practically the only city in the country of 100000 residents without a full working airport with liangars and flying equipment. That Water bury has been slow to take ac- ton in this respect we do not believe reflects upon the city, its government or it's citizens. It rather emphasizes, we believe, the conservative and safe and sound thinking that has made Waterbury a successful manufac- turing and business section.
 We believe also that an airport with 8 start in that direction ale ready at Mt. Tobe could be easily completed and the expense far less than that assumed by prac- ticaIly every other city through out the country including those constructed in the east. Small communities as rule are having 8 hard time maintaining their airpOrts. In general, the larger cities find the going easier, al- though, to be sure, not so in all cases.
 Federal and State aviation authorities feel that the site is the most acceptable and satisfac- tory site which can be procured in the Waterbury neighborhood.
 The finances involved in acquir- ing the Mt. Tobe site by the original corporators, the amount expended by the government WPA project and the sum spent on the road leading thereto from the Plymouth and ThOmast0n side as well as from the Waterbury end represents already an expenditure of almost $25O,OOO. We believe the property could be acquired for less than half the sum already expended and that the small amout of money in addition needed to make this a first class airport would be but a small sum from the City of Waterbury tax payers angle. In the event of the governments setting aside $165, ,O0O additional for work on the port, it is believed that this sum

 From Washington now comes the declaration that the republicans feel confident of carrying the first district. They have declared that the third district, which embraces the New Haven area, is the district in Connecticut now most certain to go democratic.
 Doubtful in Fifth
 Furthermore, they have admitted now that the outcome of the voting in the fifth congressional district is doubtful. This Is due to the dem. ocratic victory here in October and the close margin by which the re- publicans carried Torrington in the same month. Torrington is the larg. est city in the Litchfleld county end of the district. Waterbury, of course, is the largest in the New Haven county section of the district.
 That Congressman J. Joseph Smith, democratic incumbent, will be renominated, is 8 foregone con- clusion. The republicans, however, are wrangling over their nominee and present conditions point to 8 pitched battle between ex-Congress- man E. W. Goss of this city and State Senator William c.
