 Is Much Opposition
BY STEWART BROWN

Copyright, 1885, by United Fress) Rome, Dec. 14.-(UP). .-Prenier Benito Mussolini countered q French British plan for settlement of the Italian- Ethiopian war to- day by asking for clarification of certain of its provisions.
 Thus he evaded direct commit- tai of his government on the ac- ceptability of the plan as 8 basis for peace negotiation, and won fur ther time to consider his course.
 An official announcement of his action said also that he was un-l likely to reply specifically to the French British proposals before the meeting of his Fascist Grand Coula- cil, the supreme body of Italy, next Wednesday night.
 Proposals Complex
 A spokesman explained that the proposals were extremely complex and that their study would continue lat least for several days.'
 The eventual Italian reply, the spokesman said, would be direct to France and Great Britain, and not to the league.
 France and Britain were man. dated by the league to treat inforrn- ally with Italy when opportunity

 Resentment has been gathering for months against the compulsory exercises and the Yale Daily News, undergraduate publication, today took up the cause by printing 9 few expressions of indignant cops.
 "Hell's bells," scoffed one of the 200-pounders, waving your hands and legs like that. Why, it's farce. We get more exercise walking up and down the gymnasium stairs (six fiights) than we get in those fool setting up exercises"

TO
 START BATTLE
His Attorneys Will Open Fight Monday to Keep
 Him From Chair

Trenton, N. J., Dec. 14(UP)- Bruno Richard Hauptmann's attor- neys will begin last ditch fight Monday to save him from death. Unless the court of pardons grants him mercy or new evidence wins q new trial, the Lindbergh baby kill CT will be electrocuted in the week beginning Jan. 13.
 Hauptmann did not know the imminence of the death to which Justice Thomas w. Trenchard, his trial judge, resentenced him yester- day. c. Lloyd Fisher, his chief att torney, planned to tell him today.
 Judge Acted Quickly
 Neither Hauptmann nor his at- torneys had expected Trenchard to act so quickly after being notified of the refusal of the supreme court to review his case, nor had they ex- pected him to set the execution so early. The law allows the sentenc- ing judge to choose any time not less than four weeks nor more than eight weeks after the date sentence is pronounced. Trench ard condemned Hauptmann to die at the first date possible.
 Superstitious persons saw mea- sure of significance in Trenchard's course. Hauptmann was convicted Jan. 13; yesterday, Friday the 18th, Trenchard sentenced him to die the week of Jan. 13.
 Lawyers Confer Monday Fisher and his fellows on Haupt- mann's defense staff will confer Monday. It was considered probable they would appeal first to the state court of pardons, 8 court with the powers of clemency given in most states to governors. The court
