FLORIDA STORM
LAST STRAW TO
MANY VETERANS
Hurricane Brings Climax to
More Than Year of
TribuIatiOnS.

BIZ Scripps-Ho'oard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The
storm which swept up from the
Caribbean to trap 600 war veterans
in relief camps on the southern
most Florida Keys was the climax TO
nl.e than a year Of tribulations ex-
perienced by the INDECENT ex-
soldiers.
There have been 1875 veterans in
Florida work relief camps More
than ZOO being quartered N sections
that escaped the hurricane. Three
camps also are maintained in South
Carolina, sheltering 1900 men.
Just u year ago war veterans from
all sections Of the country began an
advance on Washington. They be-
seiged the Federal Emergency Re
lief administration with demands
Tor relief. asserting that state ad-
ministTators had informed them
that on arrival at the capital they
would be transferred to wOTK camps.
CCC Quotas Fall
Relief Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins had made no arrange
ments Tor such camps, but provided
temporary food and shelter for the
veterans IN Washington transient
centers. An attempt was made 70
enlist the men in the CCC, but
quotas were fuIl. Finally. last Oct
II. Mr.. Hopkins worked cut a plan
with the Florida and South Caro-
lima relief administrations TO place
the men in work camps. performing
labor on highways, state parks and
other public property.
The first Florida camp was es-
tablished at Keystone Heights,
where the men were put to work
building an overseas highway to
Key West
The veterans were paid $50
month out of relief funds and were
given clothing, food and shelter
Early organization of the Keystone
camp and others in the Key area
was unsatisfactory to the men and
in February they staged a strike.
Relief officials called in the Flor
ida National Guard to halt the
disturbance. A truce was reached
under pressure and the men re-
turned to work.
Key Camps Sore Spots
But the Key camps continued TO
be sore Spots. Veterans charged that
they were being Disseminated
against. that the food was bad and
that medical care was lacking.
The camps were isolated from the
outside world. Sanitation was of a
makeshift nature and the only rec
reation was fishing
Leaders of the veterans groups
charged that no classification had /
been made of the men as to their 4
physical or mental disabilities.
In the last three months an at |
tempt has been made TO meet the I
demands of the veterans. Hospitals |
were built and physicians assigned !
to the camps.
The experiment. however. was not |
the success anticipated, and relief /
officials are opposed to any eXpan- !
sion of the work camp program for
war veterans.

No One-Sided Conflict, Asserts French
Writer of Coming Ethiopian Campaign
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press stan Correspondent
Copyright. 1895. by United Press

Darts. Sept. 6. - A vivid, de-
IL tailed picture of the probable
opening phases of the Italo-
Ethiopian war was painted here
today by Jean Perrigault, famed
French war correspondent, back
from several months first-hand
study Of war preparations in
Ethiopia and Eritrea.
The veteran correspondent of
lie Matin. in an exclusive inter-
view with the United Press, eX-
pressed doubt that Italian pene-
tratiOn Of the last independent
kingdom in Africa could begin
before early October. He said the
rainy season in Ethiopia is ending
later than usual and the roads the
Italians need to launch their
campaign will not be completed
for another six weeks.
The struggle will not be as one
sided as might be expected in a
contest between modern,
mechanical army and the war
riors Of a backward state. Il
Italy intends to plant her flag
in Adds Ababa, in NJ. Perrigault's
opinion, war Will continue many
years, unless early Italian victories
weakened Emperor Halle Selassie's
support and lead local chieftainS
into separate negotiations with
the Italians.
Il THIOPIA can put a million
Il men in the field" NJ. Per-
sigault said. but only $4,000 of
these will have modern rifles.
Another $4,000 will carry old
mu7z,e leaders or breechlOaders.
The remaining 100000 will wage
war armed only with knives and
lanccs.
Ethiopia has 5000 machine
guns and automatic rifles, zoo
cannOn-mostly old-and several
batteries Of trench mortars. She
has no gas and no tanks. A few
machine guns, mounted on Ford
trucks, are now in position near
the Eritrean border.
The emperor owns 13 old COM
mercial planes. manned by an air
force of 20 natives, formed by
three French pilots. The best of
these native flier is a really
talented airman named Babitcheff,
son of a Russian father and an
Ethiopian mother.
The army has a maximum of
100,000,000 cartridges, 100000
of which have been imported
through Djibouti. The remainder
have been on hand for years so
a certain portion are probably bad.
In modern warfare that quantity
would not suffice for one month Of
fire"
TIME Ethiopian army" he con-
Il tinued, consists of three
branches: First, 5000 soldiers COM
prising the emperor's imperial
guard to protect him and the
dynasty against revolt. These
troops have been trained by Eu-
ropeanS, but as soon as war is
declared. the Belgian officers who
have been inStructing the army
will leave for Belgium. There are
also some Swedish officers but it
is undecided what they will do

FLEE WITH $500
CrackSmen Are Disturbed
by JanitreSs; Slip Through
Police Lines.

While hundreds of late shoppers
crowded the downtown business dis
trict yesterday. yeggmen battered
open one safe, pried open another
and were working on a third in the
Meyer-KiSer Bank Building when
they were frightened away.
The strong boxes in the offices of
the Lincoln Loan Corp. yielded $500
before a janitress discovered the
safe crackers at work.
The janitress was unable to I'M
lock the door leading into the loan
corporation Offices when she at
tempted to enter shortly after 5.
Toothpicks had been stuffed into
the lock by the yeggmen to prevent
any one entering the Office.
A police detail was thrown
around the building, but the yeggs
escaped.
Detectives found sledge ham
mers, and crowbars which had been
used to batter open the safes.
The combination lock of the third
safe had been battered off before
the burglars escaped, according to
Irwin Wesley, company manager.

been shown as the man who ar
ranged for the distribution of a
scurrilouS "handbilI'- The Dart"
which attacked Jewish people,
prominent public officials, and The
Times.
The Times reporter was struck
five times in the face and knocked
down twice in the brutal assault.
The unprovoked melee occurred
after the former deputy had made
an obscene remark about Times re-
porters.
Joel A. Baker then made a re-
mark which The Times reporter did
not understand.
What was that?" asked the re-
porter as Baker mumbled several
words.

Cancilla then showered blows upon
Mr.. Blishs face and arms which he
had raised in self-defense.
