BY WILLIAM H. SHIPPEN,


bURAY, Va. October 4.-FoFcibly
evicted from their home. along with
their household goods, Mr.. and MS
Melanchthon Cliser were almost toe
stunned and bewildered today to begin
the task of rehabilitation.
The couple steadfastly withstood the
efforts Of the Virginia Commission on
Conservation and Development to oust
them from their home on Lee High
way in Shenandoah National Park
Just west Of Panorama Gap, until the
eviction was accomplished by five dep
uties yesterday.
Cliser was handcuffed and brought
to Luray while deputies piled his
household effects beside the highway
and then barred the doors and win
dows Of the Cliser home to prevent the
couple re-entering.
Possessions Guarded.
Civilian Conservation Corps men,
bers kept watch over Cliser's posses
sions last night and offered to move
them in trucks to any new house which
Cliser might select.
The 62-year-old mountaineer was
released after being brought to Luray
and he and his wife spent last night
with relatives. Cliser's father built
the house from which the couple were
evicted and his grandfather also had
lived on the mountain nearby.
Sheriff E. L. Lucas Of Page County
evicted the mountaineer after Judge
H. w. Bertram threatened him with
contempt of court unless he carried
out the order. Cliser about a. month
ago ordered from his premises Wilbur
Hall, chairman of the Virginia COM
mission, and it was at request Of the
commissions attorneys that Judge
Bertram called for q showdown yes
terday.
Cliser's 46 acres had been con-
demned and $4,85s fixed as the pur-
chase price, but Cliser refused to
touch the money or to accept eviction
notice.
National parks officials said there
will be no permanent residents left
in the park when the land Is trans
ferred to the Federal Government by
the Conservation Commission.
The officials said it will not be
their policy to be unreasonable and
there may be a few exceptions to
the rule, but leases for temporary
residence continuance in the area
will have to be made, and 1t is to be
expected that these will be granted
only for unusually good reason.
Meanwhile, as the State proceeded
In its efforts to clear the area of occu-
pants, Park Service officials said AZ
interested onlookers" they were
watching the developments.
Homestead Plans Continued.
Resettlement Administration OFF,
cials said they were proceeding with
plans for construction Of the Ida VAL
lev unit OF q resettlement project for
housing families evicted from the park
area. The unit, located near Luray,
Is to cou1ist Of between 20 and Is
houses, surrounded by adequate farm
ing and pasture land. Those taking
the houses, which are to cost approx
imately $4,000 each, are to pay for
them In easy installments over long
period Of years.
The Resettlement Administration
ofiicials explained that the Ida Valley
unit will be an experiment to deter
mine whether other similar units will
be built.

Proposal to Change Capitals
Historic Name Meets Rebuff

matte language, but just to leave no
doubt, Mr.. Brennan will state the
Commissioners could not change the
name II they wanted to, since Con-
gress adopted the name In May, 1900,
and still has exclusive jurisdiction
over the Capital.
Mr.. Clark had suggested, sit would
be much less complicated for the
name Of Washington, d. c.. to be
changed than for the name Of the
State of Washington to be changed" 7"
The principal reason for the proposed
change, he said. was that the num-
Der Of persons becoming confused
each year by the similarity lpf the
names Is on the increase.

 Aduwa, Ethiopia, Oct. Il, 5:30 p. m. (Via Asmara, Eritrea, Oct. 12- (UP)--All is quiet on the northern Ethiopian front so far as defensive activity is concerned.
 The army is consolidating and pulling itself together for its next push, which may be in two weeks.
 All trails leading into Ethiopia in Italian occupied territory are scenes of most tense activity. Thousands of motor trucks and mules are hastening in with tens of thousands of tons of materials needed to main- tain the armies in this region, where there is nothing except water and isolated patches of green corn available.
 Ethiopians usually only grow enough food stuff for their own use and there is nothing extra. Thus almost every ounce of material must be transported.
 Hundreds of engineers and road laborers are hacking at the tortuous trails literally from dawn to dark.
 Military engineers in charge of the Aduwa road work promised to make it passable for motor vehicles into Aduwa in time for General

 Such 8 measure would go even farther than the initial penalties planned, as some sub committee members wanted to exempt some commercial credits from proposed credit boycott.

 Ras Halle Selassie Gugsa, Ethio- plan governor of southern Tigre province, who surrendered to the Italians and thereby cleared the way for early junction of the north. ern and eastern armies-possibly without firing of Q shot-arrived al general headquarters today.
 He was received by staff officers who congratulated him on his de- cision to join Italy.
 Halle Selassie Gugsa arrived in an Italian motor car and said he was glad to join Italy as he does not owe any loyalty to Emperor Halle Selassie-to whom he is not related.
 Halle Selassie Gugsa's surrendre was a most important help to the Italians.
 But even if 1t were possible to conceive entire absence of opposi- ton, Italy's task in merely advanc- ing into the country and making roads would still be immense.
 Generally speaking, the people in Ethiopia are living little differently than they did in Biblical times. They even live chiefly on dura, a food mentioned in the New Testa- ment.

NAVAL BLOCKADE MAY BE NECESSARY

working may work too sclowly and that stronger measures ought to be considered.
 The mere consideration of such a move - where 8 week ago many del- egates questioned even whether the league would dare to impose any penalties at all - is testimony of the firmness with which aroused nations have sezed hold of the Ital- ian problem.
 Proceeding with astonishing swiftness toward boycotting Italy, with an arms embargo already pro- videdi for, league leaders believed that the little" penalties commit tee composed of IT key nations might vote today for boycott of Italy on all credits and loans, not only government but private.

 Interrupting Exports
 A sub committee was to be named today to prepare 8 plan for inter- rupting italian exports such as fruit, wine, hemp and cotton goods. This, boycott might be extended later to shut off the flo wof raw materials and other commodities - absolutely essential to Italy, which is almost lacking in raw materials.
 The importance of the means the league has selected for It's progress sive penalization is clear. First the formal outlawing of Italy as an aggressor. Secondly the imposition of an iron clad arms embargo, modelled after President Roosevelt's Neutrality embargo, but more se- were. Thirdly the imposition of @ credit and loan boycott. Fourthly the boycotting of Italian goods Fifthly the refusal to sell to Italy.
