Staff"-a subcommittee of 16 ma
tions appointed earlier in the
day to actually direct application
of the anti-Italian penalties-ap-
proved the Roosevelt ban on ex-
portation of arms, ammunition
and implements of war.
League Acts Quickly
It took the committee only a
short while to adopt the Roose-
velt embargo, which it apparently
decided was good model. By
the committees action nearly
every nation in the world will pro-
hibit the expectation OF arms to
Italy.
It was expected the committee
would swiftly move toward lifting
whatever embargoes exist now on
arms going to Ethiopia. :
There will be important excep-
tions to the application of this
embargo, Austria and Hungary
and Albania-the last joining the
other two in opposition to even
economic penalties today-were
not expected to join it.
Germany May Aid
It was possible that, if Chan
cellor Hitler were willing, italy
could get arms from Germany
through Austria via the overland
train route.
The committee decided to adopt
a British proposition to prepare a
resolution to:
l. Recommend an end to the
arms embargo against Ethiopia.
2. Apply an arms embargo
against Italy.
3. Let President Roosevelt's
arms list be a basis for the
arms to be banned with provi-
SionS for expanding it.
A resolution formally embody-
ing the decision to apply the
American embargo list was to be
adopted by the general staff" to-
night.
Change Unlikely
It was believed states such as
the United States, which applied
an embargo on both belligerents,
would be asked to lift their en-
bargoes on Ethiopia tomorrow.
France and Britain also halted
arms shipments to both disputants.
Other states will be asked to
accept arms orders from Ethiopia
but to refuse them to Italy. It
was believed all italian arms con-
tracts now being worked upon
would be cancelled.
Although the United States was
to be asked to lift it embargo
against Ethiopia, it was doubted
here that such action would be
taken by the Roosevelt Admins
tration. 1t was pointed out the
original intention of the American
embargo-on both parties to
preserve American neutrality.
The session was adjourned then
for drafting a resolution embody-
ing this.
1t was reported without confir-
nation here that the British are
prepared to support movement
to withdraw all ambassadors and
ministers from Rome, leaving only

Of Travel Show

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. Y. Up
Highways Of the west are throbbing
with motor tourist traffic that may
out-distance the peak Of the pre-de-
preston era.
From western states come reports
that America has taken to the road
In n big way, with virtually every
state represented IN the caravan Of
cars winding through canyons and
over mountain passes in search for
scenery.
A survey by the Associated Press
indicates each Of the states Is en-
joying increased traffic. There Is
an almost uniform bulge in state
gasoline tax collections CT around
10 per cent as compared with a year
ago.
National parks, dude ranches and
resorts are benefitting by the In
creased travel. Some places closed
for several years have opened their
doors to capacity crowds.
Montana reports tourists travel
already in excess Of 1929. Both Glac-
Ter and Yellowstone National parks
show an increase OF 10 per cent ever
last year and gas tax collections are
around 20 per cent higher.
Out-state cars entering California
are far ahead OF 1884. the increase
in June reaching about 40 per cent
when gas tax returns were up IL per
cent. John Cuddy. managing direc-
tor OF Californians, Inc, estimat-
ed the tourist season would be worth

SPIVEY URGES
CATTLE TESTS
Government Buying Stock
Infected With Dread
Bangs Disease

Owners OF dairy herds are being
urged by DR.. W. Z. Spivey, head Of
the Cameron county preventive
health unit, to take advantage Of
the free federal service Of testing
cows for Bangs disease.
This testing has been under way
for the past two weeks and approx
imately 400 cows have been exam
ined, but DR.. Spivey and other
health authorities r disappointed
by the relatively few owners who
have signed for the service.
The cattle are tested free Of
charge, and II an animal Is found
to have the disease 1t Is purhased
by the government at prices from
SIS to $50. The owner also is en-
titled to sell the animal for butcher
purposes providing 1t Is sold TO an
approved handler.
This gives US an opportunity to
dispose Of all infected cattle in the
county at little. If any, loss to the
owners" Dr. Spivey says. 1T is an
opportunity which we can Ill afford
to pass up. but the campaign will
be far from thorough unless more
owners sign up for the service"
Cattle owners wishing to obtain
the free service should contact
either r. c. Graham at Brownsville
or Morgan Finley at San Beni6o.

Negotiations practically have been
completed whereby the federal gov
eminent will conduct tuberculosis
tests on the same basis. Infected
cattle will be condemned by the
government and purchased at
prices Of from $25 to $50 per head.
Dr.. Spivey expects to obtain defin-,
lite assurances soon that these tests
will be made in Cameron county
