ITALY DEMANDS FULL CONTROL
 OF ABYSSINIA
Wants Sovereignty Over That NatiOn-P0werful
 Army at Hand
, By THOMAS B. MORGAN

(Copyr1gnC 1V3O Dy Oniteo Ercss)
 Rome. June 24-(UP)-Italy in- tends to demand actual sovereign ty over ancient Abyssinia, author!- tative circles reported today as Benito Mussolini and Anthony Eden, British cabinet envoy, began Q conference on world politics.
 To impose sovereignty, 1t was intimated, Mussolini envisaged re- course to arms-a smashing cam paign that would leave the last of Africa's Independent states sub dued.
 Prospect that Mussolini would demand dominion over Abyssinia made 1t seem likely that the Brit ish German naval agreement, which brought Eden here from Paris, would be subordinated.
 Negotiate with Germany
 There were indications that Mus solini would use Britain's example of negotiating separately with Germany--to the anger of France --as a weapon to advance his Abyssinian ambitions.
 Informants said Mussolini would contend he had absolute freedom to act, even though Abyssinia is a fellow member of the League of Nations because:

Detroit Bishop
 Is Sole Judge

Vatican City, June 24.-- (UP) - Vatican authorities maintained the viewpoint to- day that the bishop of De- troit is the sole judge of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin's activities. An authoritative source said the pope is abso- lutely silent on the subject of Father Coughlin.
 If the radio priest should ovcrstep the bounds, and dis- regard the bishops authority, 1t was explained, the matter would first be up to the apos- tolic delegate at Washington and then the Vatican would finally intervene to curb him.
 Vatican officials pointed out that as Nlong as 'Fathcr Coughlin limits himself to expounding the social prin. ciples set forth in the En. cyclicals of Pope Leo XII and the present pope, Plus NJ, action by church authorities is not necessary.

PRESIDENT WAS &
 NOT REAL BOSS

Washington, June 24.-(uP)'- President Roosevelt's word usually is law on matters of federal joos' but Mrs. Roosevelt vetoed him when he arranged payless sum- mer job in Oregon for their young est son, John.
 The president, it was learned to- day, fixed 1t up with Director J. N: (Ding) Darling of the biological survey for John to work in an oregon CCC camp which is under the surveys direction.

 STATED POLICY
 IN CONTROVERSY
No Fusion Ticket Is Con- templated Democrats
 Simply Are Protesting

 Statement Made Today
 A statement was issued by the Independent democratic party group today as follows:
 Some months ago . number of active democrats in various sec- tions of the city, sensing the unrest and dissatisfaction within the ranks of the local party, and feeling that they were close to the real reasons for the satisfaction, started q movement to correct the aforesaid condition. The causes, they found, could be traced directly back to the system of closed caucuses which has been in vogue in Waterbury for the past fifteen years, as . re- suit of which the present chairman of the democrat town committee, has gradually replaced all the strong district leaders with payroll workers. who are mere figurehea ads, rather than district representatives.
 Figureheads Weaken Machine
 These hgureheads. lacking the power to go to their chairman to secure patronage for deserving workers in their baliwicks, have weakened the machine and taken the backbone out of Q really strong party, so that their districts, in- stead of being satisfied and secure, are in . state of constant turmoil.

 Nome Found Dead
 At 10 A. M. Today

Miss E. L. Howard, aged between sixty and seventy years, was found dead in her home this morning about 10 am, by Mrs. Jennie Pol son.
 According to Mrs. Poison, Miss Howard was in the habit of arising early in the morning This morn ing no sign of smoke was observed coming from the smoke-stack, and Mrs. Poison decided to investigate. She found Miss Howard on the floor, with her head and shoulders in a packing box. According to appear ances she had evidently been sitting in a chair near the stove and sud- den heart attack caused her to fall over into the box.
 The body was still warm about the neck when discovered, indicat- ing that death had taken place not many hours before. The bed was made, but there was no sign of fire in the stove, and it was believed that she died before going to bed last night.
 Miss Howard has been on the gov ernment indigent roll for the past number of years, and has been very feeble. No suspicious circumstance es were observed and it is believed ed that death occurred from heart failure. Miss Howard came to Nome in the early days of the gold rush here and has remained ever since. She resided for many years in the East end of town along the beach, but lately, due to health has lived next door to Albin Poison, on Sec ond Avenue.
 No arrangements have been per fected yet for her funeral.
