NO WORK, NO EAT ULTTMATUM
TO WHEAT BELT RELIEF CLIENTS
Able Bodied Idle Ordered To Get Busy AS Farmers
Complain Crops ROttng. In Fields For Lack OF
Sufficient LabOrers

Copyright, 1885, BY United Press
CHICAGO, July "a. - State re-
lief administrators acted arbitrarily
throughout the wheat belt today to
cut from the dole every male ply
sically able to handle a pitchfork.
Relief heads were supported by
the federal government in their
campaign to put able-bodied relief
clients to work in the harvest
fields.
mo work, no eat" was the edict
laid down by Tom Berry, South
Dakota's cowboy governor. His ex-
ample was followed by many other
relief administrators, a survey by
the United Press disclosed.
The South Dakota action was
Imperial Valley press., 1935-07-24

the most drastic reported. Cover
nor Berry estimated that $4,000
persons, 10000 of them heads of
families, were affected.
In Iowa, relief stations in dozen
counties were closed today and the
state administration threatened to
halt all aid if the unemployed re-
fused to work in the fields.
Ernest White, Nebraska relief
head, stopped work projects in
rural areas and announced that no
rural relief clients will be certified
on the state rolls until after the
harvest season.
In Illinois relief administrators
set precedent when they cut two
unemployed off the dole when the
clients refused to go to work. Re-
lief officials said the practice would
continue.
Governor Berry saw In the cam
paign chance to wipe out unem-
ployment overnight.
There are $4,000 farmers in
South Dakota" he said, land only
$4,000 unemployed. When the har-
vest is over, we'll re-establish re-
lief, but until then anyone who
doesn't work need not look to the
state for help. Farm labor wages
in the state are $1.50 day plus
board and ROOM"
The governor acted after a dele
cation of farmers protested grain
was rotting in the field because
joblesS men refused to take up the
pitchfork as long as they could get
money from the government with
out workSrk. The relief clients
complained farmers were not able
to pay their hands cash.

THEIR RECORDS DISAGREE

WASHINGTON, July "a. - The
United States supreme court moved
step nearer the center of politi-
cal controversy today with the De-
mocratic charge that judges con-
sidering new deal" legislation are
influenced by their experience as
corporation lawyers in private
| practice.
Rep. Adolph j. SABBATH, Dem),
Illinois, assailed the judiciary in
house speech defending the adj
! ministration. He charged that fed
eral courts and not the executive
department had usurped power.
He said many judges formerly
were corporation lawyers"
"These men," he continued,
seem unable to divorce themselves
from their corporate connections"
! The dispute between new deal"
and judiciary popularity is ASSOCIATE
ed with last Mays decision invali-
dating NRA. Actually it appeared
first in the 1882 campaign.
President Hoover named three
supreme court justices, Owen j.
Roberts, Benjamin N. Cardozo and
Chief Justic Hughes. Mr.. Roosevelt
has not had an opportunity to
make a supreme court appoint
ment. Four justices are over the 70
year retirement age but can con-
tinue to serve at their own plea
sure.
Three of the over-age justices
are of the conservative clique: AS
sociate Justices Van Devanter, SUI
therland and McReynolds. The
other oldster is Associate Justice
Brandeis. Examination of the rec
ords of the nine all-powerful
judges does not support the con-
tention that previous corporation
experience colors their judicial
opinions.
Records Cited
Chief Justice Hughes was one Of
the most sought after corporation
lawyers in the United States dur
ing the years after his defeat for
the presidency in 1916 and his re-
appointment to the court in 1880.
But he rose in politics and ultt-
mately to the bench as an investi-
gator of corrupt big business.
Justice Brandeis, famous liberal.
had a private practice record Of
countless Investigations of business,
railroad and labor problems.
Justice Butler, conservative,
was a railroad attorney in Mime
sofa with an international practice.
He was appointed in 1922.
Justice McReynolds, conserva-
tive, enjoyed a corporation prac-
tice in Tennessee and later in New
York before appointment in 1922
to the supreme court.
Justice Roberts was a corpora
ton lawyer with a Philadelphia
practice worth $150,0O0 a year
when Mr.. Hoover put him on the
bench in 1880. But Roberts is class
ed a liberal.
Justice Van Devanter mixed law
with politics in Wyoming until
1903 when he was named to the
federal circuit bench from which
he was promoted in 1910 to the
supreme court.
Justice Cardozo, a liberal, has
been on the bench more than 20
years. He was named to the court
in 1882.

CANAL TO BE
BEAUTIFIED
AT CALEXICO

WASHINGTON, July "a. U.P) -
Plans for Identification of the ALI
American canal in the vicinity OF
Calexico. Calf. have been drawn
by the bureau of reclamation.
r. B. Williams, construction en-
gineer, will go to Calexico about
August l in an effort to meet OBJ
jections of Calexicans who contend
the canal viii become an eyesore.
The plans call for landscaping
the canal. with grass, trees and
boat landings in addition to a pro-
posed swimming pool in the city.
Washington authorities. as report
ed in yesterdays Press, turned down
a plan to route the canal through
Calexico instead of around the clty's
northern boundary. The Calexico
Chamber of Commerce started the
movement for this plan year ago
and received much assistance from
various valley bodies in an effort To
make 1t successful. The decision
given yesterday apparently is final
and today's action, TO beautify the
canal is intended TO make up, II
possible, for the disappointment Of
CalexicanS.

Ethiopian columns advancing from the south reported Monday that the same columns were moving south ward again.
 The first army corps of Gen. Rug giero Santint entered Hauzien, near which the scouting columns halted Sunday night, and passed on.
 Deserter Heads 1000 Ras Hailie Selassie Gugsa, son. in- law of the emperor of Ethiopia, was at the head of 100 men with whom he deserted the Italians in the Santini column.
 Gugsa is anxious over the fate of his mother and sister. They were held hostage for him by towns people, still loyal to the emperor. :,
 Count Galeazzo Ciano, and Mus solini's son, flew over Makale Mon- day and saw white flags raised over many houses in signal that the in- habitants wished to offer submission peacably.
 The aviators reported on their re- turn that no one fired on them and that hence no bombs were dropped.
 Though there are strong columns moving northward and the prospect of eventual serious fighting is in- creasing, it is hardly, likely that there will be any attack on the Ma kale line.
 It is likely that fighting will be- gin when the third drive starts a month from now after the fortiflca- tion of the new positions.
 Flew Very Low
 Count Ciano after his flight over the Makale region Monday flew over the Danakil column, led by Gen. Mariotti and Col. Lorenzini. Ciano flew nearly down to 600 feet in his Caproni bomber.
 "The column is traversing terrible country" Ciano said. "It is a broad desert valley, almost without vege- tation. There were occasional rain storms. saw a few bands of Ethi- opians ahead of Gen. Santini's col- umn as I flew east to the Danakil column. I saw a few head of cattle being driven northward. The col- umn was a beautiful sight from the air"
 Caravan Destroyed
 Rome, Nov. 5-(UP)-DispatcheS from Djibouti, French Somaliland, reported today the almost complete destruction by Italian bombing air. planes of an Ethiopian caravan on the way from British Somaliland to Harar with munitions and supplies for the Ethiopian southern armies.
 The story was related, the dis patches said, by Ethiopian civilians who arrived at Djibouti terror stricken.
 Dispatches quoted the Philippians as saying 500 Ethiopian soldiers were killed. No mention was made of any civilian casualties among those in the caravan, though it was related that the whole column, of mixed civilians and soldiers, num- bered 500.

CCC ENLISTMENT PERIOD LONGER

Owing to the lag in filling the quota or this area, the current per- iod for selecting veteran replace ments for the eco has been ex- tended to November IS, according to word received from headquarters today by Mrs. Edith Ladd, executive secretary of the local chapter of Red Cross.
 Mrs. Ladd also received informa- tion from Washington disclosing that special arrangements for en- rollment in the CCC of veteran transients expired today and that no extension would be authorized. Veterans are urged not to go to Washington because of the scarcity of opportunities for employment and the inadequate relief facilities there.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-11-05

Florida and the Norwegian motor ship Sneland, which had been in trouble of the east coast, rode out the storm safely.
 Miami, Sunday night gay and light-hearted with the beginning of its winter season, with hundreds of visitors already in town, presented strange contrast today.
 Police, working double shifts, guarded the business district. Police Captain Forest E. Nelson said there had been no loting and no disor- der.
 Red Cross at Work
 Red Cross facilities were muster ed to take care of the destitute homeless. The government, taking no chances of repetition of the September hurricane that killed several hundred war veterans en- ployed on work relief projects in the Keys, brought its PWA workers into Miami and Homestead before the storm struck and they were being cared for at concentration points.
 The scattered residents of the Everglade country, also evacuated before the storm, were being cared for by the Red Cross, hotels were crowded and local residents who preferred the protection of their steel and concrete walls to their own homes.
 Beautiful bay front park, where the mad assassin zangara fired at President Roosevelt and killed Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago, was devastated.
 Three Feet of Water
 The entire exclusive residential section of southeastern Miami was covered with three feet of water. Uprooted trees sprawled across tile roofs and across streets.
 Disaster relief headquarters sent field agents north and south im- mediately after the storm subsided. They reported that while damage was heavy as far north as Fort Lauderdale, there was no loss of life. The headquarters announced that Maurice Reddy, national Red Cross executive, leaves Washington today to take charge of relief here.

ing scores of motor trucks and hun dredS of camelS set out for Harar from Berbera, port of British Som- aliland, on a forced march with sup plies for the army of Ras Nassibu in the Ogaden country. The caravan was reported to be the largest to leave British Somaliland since the Italian invasion.
 Half way between Jigjiga and Harar, according to the dispatches, two Italian airplane squadronS f1y- ing at a graet height sighted the caravan and showered it with bombs, especially the motor trucks.
 Philippians Threat
 Addis Ababa, Nov. 5-(UP)-Ma- kale will be defended when the Ital- ian invaders are within striking distance of that important caravan junction, Ethiopian officials asserted today.
 Defense of the city will not, how ever, involve the full strength of the armies now maneuvering in northern Ethiopia under command of Ras Siyoum and Ras Kassa.
 The Ethiopian view of the latest Italian advance, as officially ex- pressed in Addis Ababa today, was:
 We are prepared now for de- fense, probably slightly to the north of Makale, whenever and however the tactical advantage afforded by the terrain dictates.
 "The emperor, however, is by no means inclined to stake everything on a battle in defense of 8 city which is actually of little import ance.
 When the propitious time comes there will be a pitched battle, upon the outcome of which may depend the whole war. That is distinctly not at Makale."
 The decision to defend Makale was regarded in the capital as 8 further indication of the increas- ingly insistent demands of both chieftains and soldiers for 8 battle. The high command feels that this demand must be satisfied to some extent.

Italian Aduance Ls
 Delayed ByRqinfaH
tcontinued from Page I,

The problem of supplies constitu- ted a romantic phase of the cam paign. For quick supplying of the front line towards Makale, air. planes dropped food and water with parachutes.
 At the main supply base of the column, 800 trucks daily are heaped with supplies and munition. There is concentration of 1000 camels mules and donkeys which move the supplies toward the front lines and road-making gangs.
 The area Swarmed with thousands of troops moving up to fill the places vacated by the two advance waves. The forward lines are eat ing iron rations until the supply dumps are pushed ahead.
 Made About 30 Miles
 Tanks, airplanes, cavalry, motor trucks, mules, camels and men regulars, fascist militamen, Bersa- glieri, native Askari troops and Ethiopian tribal warriors -operat- ing in four columns had made about 30 miles from the Adigrat- Aduwa-Aksum front at the end of the secon days march Monday night.
 They made their second days march Southward into Ethiopia through torrential rains, almost un- known at this time of year. The rain had not hindered the men nor held up the mechanized units at the end of the Monday march.
 The front, as the troops bivoua- cked for the night, was represented by spearhead which reached Eli fan-Uogoro and crossed the mule trail between Hauzien and Makale in the neighborhood of the Sullo valley. That made is possible that native advance scouts might enter Makale tonight.
 The rain was a surprising and un- favorable development. Nevertheless the troops made good progress.
 The rains have made streams of the dry river beds. The hill trails along which the troops moved were so steep that in Mondays advance I saw small mountain sguns being dragged by as many as A mules, with straining men at each wheel, over outcropping rocks.
 Rains Damage New Roads
 If the rains continue it is feared that there will be heavy damage to the newly built roads in the back area.
 The native scouts and the SUD- porting Italian troops have been re- ceived in friendly manner by the populations all along the route Nof the advance. The spirit has been 8 holiday one.
 Over the town of Makale, white flags have been hoisted as the peo- pie await the advancing army.
 It is indicated that there will be no resistance and that resistance of a serious nature is unlikely during the month it will take to consolidate the new line.

RUSSIA, JAPAN
 VERY FAR APART
Constant Clashes Take Place on Frontier;
 Notes Do Not PaCify
By JOSEPH H. BAIRD

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Moscow, Nov. 5-(UP)-Japan and Soviet Russia are far apart on any method of. ending constant clashes on the Soviet-Manchlkuoan from tiar, notes exchanged by Moscow and Tokyo, made public here today, disclosed.
 Japan contends that the boundary between Siberia and Manchulkuo has never been satisfactorily delineated. 'The Soviet insists there is no ques- tion of the location of the border.
 Both nations blame the other for clashes of October 6, 8 and 12 which prompted Moscow to protest to Tokyo.
 Japauese Charges
 The Japanese contended Soviet border guards fired the first shots in those clashes. The Soviet denied this and pointed out that the clashes Gin which several men on both sides were killed) occurred on Soviet ter ritory where Japanese troops had no right to intrude.
 The Japanese reply to the Soviet note was delivered to KonStantin Yurenev, Soviet ambassador to Ja- pan, on October 16 and the Soviet note was delivered in Tokyo yes- terday.
 E The Japanese note declared that the border clash of October 6 was be- tween Manchukuoan guards and So- viet troops and was therefore solely question between the Soviet and Manchukuo, in which Japan had no interest.
 Soviets Reject Protest |. Replying to the Japanese note, the Soviet rejected as entirely un- founded" the protest against the al- legged illegal action of the Soviet troops in the clash of October 12, contending that the Soviet guards were simply fulfilling their duty when Japanese troops were found ed that the Soviet troops warned on Soviet soil. The Soviet note add the Japanese, who then opened fire.
 Under these circumstances" said the note, your counter-protest is entirely unfounded.'
 Moscow also called Japans atten- tion to its previous suggestion that an Investigating commission be es- tablished to fix responsibility on the spot, adding the charge that Japan was "evading investigation of the incidents in spite of the fact that this gives the best guarantee of es- tablishing the truth
 The Soviet note express d "amaze- ment.: that the Japanese referred Moscow to Manchukuo for settle ment of the clashes, pointing out that the Soviet has frequently stated that it regards Japa mas responsible for military action on the border because the Japanese military dominates the Manchukuo forces.

their own money. Although they have previously concentrated on urban areas where higher profits are possible, they prefer to handle projects themselves rather than leave them to public development and REA propaganda has stirred up wide interest in rural electriflca- ton of which they can take ad- vantage.
 Public COnciliatOr
 Cooke is famous as the successful engineer who more than any other man in the last IS years has ex- posed inflated utility rates. But he now holds out the olive branch to utilities, pointing out that coopera- tion with REA on fair-profit basis is good business.
 Incidentally, this may be a good place to point out that, in a New Deal notorious for its lack of good administrators, one frequently hears the wistful remark:
 What this administration needs is about 20 more, Morris Cookes."
