ITALY DISCOVERS
ABYSSINIAN OIL
Then Invades Only Independent Negro
Republic

New Observation-Disclosures Of
rich oil deposits in Abyssinian reveals
the cause of the unprovoked invasion
of that country by troops of the Fac
ist dictator Mussolini. The attraction
Of Abssinian uplands for Italy's sur
plus population is also advanced as a
reason for the attack.
The oil wells at Ualual were long
guarded by Italian troops before the
attack on December 5. Official maps,
however, place this territory well
within the boundaries of Abyssinia.
Frances agreement to Italy's propos-
ed participation in control of the rail
roda from Djibouti to Adds Ababa,
Abyssinian capital, undoubtedly means
that Italy will be placed in a position
to exercise control of arms shipments
and other supplies of national defense
which Abyss3nia must bring by rail
from Djibouti.

FAKE CHARGES AGAINST JANE
NEWTON DISMISSED; WAS
PROSECUTED BECAUSE
SHE MARRIED A
NEGRO

Chicago, Hl.-(CNA)-A city-wide
protest here by Negro and white toll
ers resulted in the dismissal of dis
orderly conduct charges against Jane
Emery Newton (white), wife of Her
bert Newton, Communist leader.
Case Storm Center of Struggle
The Newton case has been the
storm center of struggle and contro-
versy for several months. Early in
December, the Newtons moved into
the apartment of a friend, Mrs. Will
liams (white) at 615 lakewood Boule-
ward. When the landlord, DR.. Nit
chell, learned of their presence. he
served an eviction notice signed By
Judge Green on Mrs. Williams. When
he Newtons and Mrs. Williams re-
fused to move, the police swooped
down on the apartment and arrested
the Newtons.
AT once, DR.. David Rotman, munich
pal psychiatrist, delared Mrs. Newton
to be a victim of 'dementia simplex
or in the cruder words of Judge Green
she must be insane to marry a Negro.
Jane Newton was fined 5000 and
placed on probation.
Exceptionally Brilliant
Subsequent examinations by psy-
chiatrists proved that she was not on
ly sane but exceptionally brilliant.
Mass protest rallied by the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights forced the
court last week to dismiss the charge
OF d~isorderly conduct, to revoke the
fine and to lift the probation.
At the same time, Herbert Newton.
arrested for picketing the Oakwood
Relief station, was freed. He still
faces two charges arising from the
eviction struggle.

PENNSYLVANIA MAN is EXON
GRATED ON RAPE CHARGE

New York, Jan. 25.-Samuel Smith,
reputable Lewistown, Pa, man tried
and convicted in November 1888, for
alleged attempted assault with intent
to rape a white woman, has been COM
petely exonerated. On July a., 1884,
the trial court refused a new trial but
in December the Superior Court Of
Pennsylvania held that evidence was
insufficient to show criminal intent,
that the highest offense that could
possibly arise from the evidence was
simple assault and battery, and or
dered a new trial. Now, according to
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People which
contributed 500 to Smiths defense,
the ~prosecutrix, one Ada Wise, has
withdrawn all charges, and on motion
Of the District Attorney in open court
on January IS, the Judge granted a
dismissal.
