TULSA, Okla, Sept. 9 G.N.SD.
The town that claims Will Rogers
birth and the town that calls him
it's first citizen were at grips today
over the site of a memorial to the
coWboy-humorist, who was killed
with Wiley Post in an Alaskan
plane crash.
The latest outburst came from
Oologah, Okla, near the ranch on
which Rogers was born. j. B.
Wise, president of the Oologan
Chamber of Commerce, assailed
officials of Claremore, Okla, for
ignoring its memorial committee
in Oklahoma City.
Declaring that he favored leav-
ing the matter up to the Nation,
Wise asserted he didn't believe
Claiemore had the exclusive right
of selecting the memorial site.
Wise declared that Mrs. Tom
McSpaden, of Chelsea, sister of
Rogers, had asked that the mat.
ter be worked out harmoniously.

The State Department today
awaited a full report from Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman of New York
on the decision and remarks Of
Magistrate Louis B. Brodsky, be-
fore drafting q reply to Ger
many's latest protest in the
Bremen flag incident.
Magistrate BrodSky's action in
dismissing charges against five OF
the six Communists held in con-
nection with tearing down the
Nazi flag from the Bremen on
July rs and his denunciation OF
the Nazi regime as "barbarlc"
brought a sharp protest from
Germany, made verbally by Am
bassador Hans Luther.
There was no disposition evil
dent at the State Department to
make any abject apology to the
German government for BrodSky'S
remarks. Instead. Secretary OF
State Cordell Hull was expected
to point out that the Federal Gov
eminent had no control over the
decisions or freedom of speech
of municipal authorities.
Indications were he probably
would add that the American Gov
eminent regretted any incidents
which tended to mar this coun-
try's relations with foreign
nations.

Americas first officer commits
missioned in the Ethiopian army
debarked here today with IA cor
respondents and photographers,
bound for Adds Ababa as news
reached this torrid port that Pre-
mier MusSolini is expected to
march September IS on Adowa to
revenge the italian defeat 80
years ago.
Heat, fever and lack Of water
will be Italy's worst enemies, as
the Philippians, according to IN
formation here, intend to inter
pose only skirmish lines until the
italians are beyond AdoWa, Wnefe
in gorges as deep as the Alps they
will harrass the invaders from the
heights.
Climate Vicious
The climate is incredibly vicious
for a military campaign. A pitt
less sun fried exhausted travellers
here with a heat so debllltating
in a land so barren that the una
nimous wonder was what anyone
would want with any territory IN
this part Of the world.
All the way down the Suez
Canal and the Red Sea the coasts
of Africa and Arabia were black,
desolate and sunbaked, and the
grim heat of Djibouti left the new
arrivals gasping in the foul, sticky
air
A scramble for water and ice
took place, because all the water
for the three-day trip to Adds
Ababa aboard the "rhinoceros ex.
press" must be taken along, and
all along these borderlandS OF
Ethiopia only imported mineral
waters can be drunk by white
men.
U. S. Man Captain
Better accustomed than most
newcomers to this sort Of climate
was Axel Del Vale, 81, Browns
vile (Tex) boy, who has just
been appointed a captain Of the
Ethiopian army air corps by DR..
Martin, Ethiopian minister IN
London.
Despite Washington's desire to
keep Americans out Of this East
African quarrel, Del Vale is jubi'
liant at his appointment, which
was one of two granted out OF
$500 applications in London to
join the Ethiopian army. Gerard
Bobshinsky, %, a German Nazi,
is also en- route to Adds Ababa
as a lieutenant.
Del Vale, a husky former foot
ball player for the Texas Aggies,
was leader in the famous Cuban
revolutionary student organiza-
ton Abe. He was once sentenced
to be shot, but escaped disguised
as soldier.
With Del Vale are four Ethi-
opian students returning from
abroad to join the army.
There are American, British,
French japanese, Spanish ana
Greek newspapermen in this party
and more are coming by the next
boat for the most publicized war
in history.
