 Addis Ababa, Oct. 5.-(UP).- John Robinson, Chicago negro, now the star aviator of Emperor Halle Selassie's army was a wit ness of the Italian aerial bomb ing raids on Aduwa. .'
 He told the United Press today that many town people sought refuge at the Red Cross hospital, that bombs dropped in the neigh borhood of the hospital and that most of those killed or wounded fell near there,
 He said he could not estimate the casualties but that the estimate given of 1,500 killed was great exaggeration. His story as he told 1t, without fiourishes, to the United Press. follows: i ,"L arrived in Aduwa Wednesday with; dispatches. in my airplane. l stayed overnight. Four large bomb ing planes arrived over the city on Thursday al break of day and began bombing.
 4 They caught the city asleep and uaawares. The majority of the in. habitants grabbed whatever be- longings they could nearby and ran to the outskirts.
 Many sought refuge at the Red Cross hospital, imagining they would be protected there.
 T saw a squad of soldiers standing in the street .dumbfound- ed looking at the airplanes. They had their swords raised in their hands.
 There was great confusion, just as there would be in any city where houses were going up in smoke all around. There was no panic.f .its

Convoke Next Wednesday

Geneva, Oct. s - (UP) -- The council of the league agreed today to convoke the assembly next Wednesday, indicating that discus sion of sanctions is imminent.
 Djibouti. French somaliland. Oct 5-UP) A company of French colonial troops will en- train tomorrow to guard the Djibouti-Addis Ababa railway at the important junction of Dired- ava. in Ethiopia, 1t was disclosed today.
 They will be but 30 miles north- west of Harar, main objective os the Italian eastern armies, and they will be on duty at points which it is indicated, may be bombed mercilessly by Italian air. planes as a necessary part of the cutting of the railway.
 There has been no Indication of the means, if any, which French and Italian authorities will use to avoid any incidents.
 France To Participate
 Paris. Oct. 5.--CUP) France will participate in sanctions if the League of Nations outlaws Italy. but only in those unlikely to lead to war in Europe, the United Preaa learned today from a source of ur. questioned authority.
 The limit this country will go ia an embargo on munitions and raw materials used for war industries and on war credits. She will not jain blockade, rupture diplomatic or even commercial relations. or take other measures capable of leading to war.
 Although Premier Foreign, Min ister Pierre Laval entrained for Geneva last night with free hand. 1t Is understood the council of miri- isters yesterday approved certain directives.
 Laval, 1t is understood, will put forward proposals for ending the East African conflict peacefully, and only if they fail of their ob- ject, will the question of sanctions have to be dealt with at all. Re- ports published abroad that this country had already agreed with England on program of sanctions were groundless, the foreign office declared today.

BY EDWARD w. BEATYIE United Press Stan Correspondent (Copyright 1885, by United Press)
 Addis Ababa, Oct. 5-(UP)- The Ethiopian capital seethed with wild rumors today of battle believed raging between Italian troops and black warriors in the vicinity of Aduwa.
 One report said 1,50O had been killed and wounded by bombs dropped from Italian planes. Another said Ethiopian troops shot down one of the bombers in flames with machine gun fire. These, and other reports, excited the populace but were entirely without confir- nation.
 Scnns Four Planes
 Emperor. Halle Selassie dispatch ed four large planes loaded with cartridges and guns to his troops oposing the Italian advance in the Aduwa section. Last midnight a fleet of almost a. dozen trucks, heavily laden with ammunition. roared southward on the same mis- sion. The King of Kings was seek ing to distribute his limited supply of ammunitions advantageously.
 The Italian consular staff, virtual prisoners in the legation kept a chartered special trai ready to car ry it across Ethiopia to the safety of DJibouti at a moments notice, the United Press learned.
 Italian Subjects Leave
 Fifty Italian subjects left by to- days train! They included eight nuns and .thre doctors and were guarded by four cars of the im- periai guards. who also watched over two vans of ammunition. Half of the 50 were Eritreans and a quarter were Greks.
 Halle Selassie pushed organiza- tion of the Ethiopian Red Cross by appointing T, A. Lamby, American n missionary and naturalized SEthio- q rt}. 'r ." ,"a 6N ~---A------- @' v

PER CAPITA DEBT IS
 BELOW OTHER CITIES
Excellent Financial Status of Town Long Rec0g-
 nized By Bankers

.Waterbury's indebtedness has been decreased exactly $3,862, ,OOO.19 during the three terms of Mayor Frank Hayes, the voters of the city were in- formed last night by Con- troller Daniel J. Leary in an address over station ,WATR. The city's per capita debt, as of 1883, was lower than that of Hartford, Bridgeport or New Haven, he added, and the attention of the electorate was called to the fact that while the major cities of Connecticut have been gradually increasing their tax es the local rate has been steadily on the decline.
 The excellent financial standing of Waterbury in the eyes of na- tional financial institutions was ex- plained and Controller Leary pointed to the very low rates of in- -<terest charged this city on tempo rary loans. The republicans have grNdgingly admitted, that the tax rate has been decreased, declared Controller Leary, and after having made the admission are, attempting to make the public believe that 1t means nothing.
 Figures Authentic
 Tigures on the debt reduction of Waterbury are authAuticg8and not records compiled to get votes, the controller said. The data has been certified to by the George H. Kingsley company of certified &C., countants which is located in New York. Controller Leary's address follows:
 Follow Citizens:
 It is a pleasure for me to speak to you tonight as the con-
 troller of the City of Waterbury. because 1t gives me the oppor- tunity of telling you all that fifteen minutes will permit me to say about the financial affairs of the city. In the course of my remarks, I will expose the falsity of the statements of those who seek to discredit the administra- ton of which am proud and honored to be member. am not going to discuss the reduction in your tax bills nor call your further attention to the decrease in the rate of your tax ation from 41.92 mills to 32 mills. Mayor Hayes in his radio talk proved that the reduction has really been made. He has ham, mered the point home that the chief candidates on the Republi- can ticket, who are taxpayers and not just campaign orators, have benefited by that reduc- ton. Grudging admission that the tax rates have been reduced has been forced out of the oppo- sition. But. having made that admission, they are now trying
