Mussolini lnstructs Delegate To

By WALLACE CARROLL


Copyright, 1895, by United Press
GENEVA, Sept. 10.-Italy has de-
cided to boycott completely the
committee of five which is seeking
solution to its dispute with Ethi-
opia, it was said on reliable auth
ority today.
Benito Mussolini, it was said, had
given his chief delegate to the
League of Nations orders to refuse
to recognize the committees power
to intervene in the dispute at all
Italy did not vote in the council
when this committee was formed
and thus laid the basis for a boy
colt.
The report of the boycott came
soon after Mussolini at Rome or
dered "for the near future" a trial
mobilization-which it is believed
will coincide with Italy's attack on
Ethiopia-of some 100000 men,
women, boys and girls, the full mil
itary and civil force of Italy.
It came also on top of a report
that Ethiopia had set September
1S as the final date for league
council action, and falling solu-
ton of the dispute by then would
appeal to the league assembly.
An appeal to the assembly could
be made at any time. 1t would be
really an appeal to the small ma
tlons, comprising the overwhelm-
ing majority of the leagues SO
members, to protect another small
nation against attack by great
power.

HOPKINS PUTS
BAN ON MANY
PWA PROJECTS
Refuses Approval To Over
1000 After Being Passed
Tentatively By lckes
BY MACK JOHNSON

UnIted Press stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Harry
Hopkins, works relief administrator
today struck sharply against pro-
posed PWA projects as part of the
federal program to end the dole by
November by rejecting nearly
1000 involving potential expendi-
lures of about $750,000000.
Hopkins, who controls the purse
strings on the $4,000000,000 public
works fund, turned down the appli-
cations after they had been passed
to him, tentatively approved, by
Harold l.. Ickes, PWA adm!nistra-
tor.
Most of thc~n, officials said, were
rejected either because the labor
costs per man were too high Or be-
cause they were though economic
ally impractical now.
Hopkins wf\esale reflections OF
the PWA projects, originally sched-
uled to absorb $900,000,000 of the
$4 4,O00,O 100000 fund, intensified re-
ports of differences between him
and Ickes.
He has been StreSSlng his own
WPA allotments which carry an av-
erage cost of from $700 to $3.50
yearly for each man employed in
cluding material whereas the PWA
projects now pay the prevailing
wage scale.
President Roosevelt will hear the
conflicting opinions of both Ickes
and Hopkins.
Hopkins said today that he would
go to Hyde Park 'soon" while Pres
ident Roosevelt will see Ickes to-
morrow. r .-,. 49,. ...
Hopkins jokingly remarked Il
won't beat Mr.. Ickes there"
He carried reporters queries re-
garding conflicts between himself
and Ickes.
