 Armies Marking Time
 The Italian armies in Ethiopia are more or less marking time, Halle Selassie visited his troops in the eastern central region and urged them to resist the invader to the last man.
 Some of the recent sensational stories about great "battles" and staggering casualties began to be shown up as untrue. It was an- nounced in Addis Ababa that only 30 Philippians were killed and 50 wounded in the recent Italian bombing, not 2,00o, 5000 or 5000 as excitingly reported by various agencies. Rome also denied em- phatically a story that the Ethio- plans had ambushed an Italian convoy on the southern front and captured 53 trucks in a fight in which there were 450 casualties.
 Pillagers Whipped
 Asmara, Eritrea, Nov. 2l.-(UP) Italian troops have achieved a victory over band of pillagers from the army of the, Ethiopian leader Ras Siyoum, it was an- nounced officially to-day.
 The announcement said the Italians, mopping up on the east ern border of the Tambien region, which lies west of Makale OH the other side of the Takazze river, and is the general site of Siyoums en- campment, ha dsucceeded in rout- ing a large band of pillagers.
 Several native Italian Askari troops were wounded.
 Rome, Nov. 21.-(UP)-The of- ficial Gazette published decree, effective to-day, blocking immedi- ate payment for goods imported from nations which have adopted sanctions against Italy.
 The total payments due to such countries must be deposited witt! the National Institute of Exchange in the name of the foreign credi- tor, in a blocked" account-one from which funds cannot be trans ferred abroad. No interest will bt paid on such accounts.

CHINA CHANGES
 MUCH DELAYED
General Condolences Pre- vented Japanese From
 Making Plans Effective

 Peiping, Nov. 2l.--(UP).-A series of coincidences which have caused key Chinese leaders to visit sick mothers, attend sudden business de- mands, and contract galloping colds seemed today to have delayed Jap- ans long-planned formation of an autonomous state in northern China.
 A few days ago Maj. Gen. Kenji Doihara, Japanese chief of intelli- gence in northern China-called the Lawrence of Manchuria for his se- cret work in planning the formation of the state of Manchukuo-told Chinese leaders that the Japanese army had Ii divisions of soldiers ready to invade China if necessary, 1t is understood.
 Indefinitely Delayed
 At once the formation of the separatis state from five provinces nearest to Manchukuo entered what seemed the final stage. It was said authoritatively that the state would be formed yesterday.
 Today 1t was said on authority here that the formation was in- definitely delayed.
 It was said also that the Chinese government had been informed by the Japanese government that its military officials had been told to abstain from any drastic action and that Doihara, the Lawrence of Manchuria, was not authorized to speak for the government.
 Doihara's visit to Tientsin was the key to the situation. He flew there hastily after announcing that the declaration of the new state would be delayed, and he seemed angry He went to confer with Chinese leaders whom he had expected here and whom he expected to cooperate in forming the new state. It had been assumed that the Chi nese leaders were awaiting Doihara
 What He Found
 But when he arrived, and looked for them he found that:
 Sun Cheh-Yuan, commander o1 the Tientsin-Peiping military gar rison and chief designate of the new state, had been called to the bed side of his sick mother.
 Shang Chen, governor of Hopei one of the five involved in the sep. aratist plan, victim of sudden colo had been forced to enter a hospita at Paotingfu
 Han Fu-Chu, governor of Shan. tung province, another of the five was detained at Tsinan by important business.
 All were said to have intimatec their regret at their inability to b, present at immediate conferences. l The belief was that the centra Chinese government had succeeded in plan to complicate and dela, the Japanese plan, and perhaps t defeat it in its original form.

MANY SOLDIERS
 GET FURLOUGH
100000 Italian Troops to Work at HOmeCapture
 of Trucks Denied

Rome, Nov. 2l.-(Up).-Approx- imately 100000 soldiers mobilized for Premier Benito Mussolini's mil- lion-many army will,be given a fur tough of three months to strengthen the nations defense against league penalties, 1t was said on authority today. The war ministry, 1t is un- derstood, is preparing the order, 1t is explained that the soldiers are being released so that they may de- velco agriculture and increase the industrial output. Heads of families, and men who are the sole support of families, will be among the first included in the furlough. The or- der will reduce by one-sixth the number of soldiers now mobilized in the metropolitan areas of Italy. It is estimated that the decree will save the treasury 100000 lire ($81 ,0S0) a day.
 Official Orders Coming
 An official war ministry com- munique was expected to be issued on announcing the furloughs. The majority of the men will be farmers anu peasants who will return to the land and produce food for the do- mec...c population and the troops in Ethiopia. All the men sent home could be recalled on 24 hours notice,
 It was estimated that 650,000 troops are under the colors in Italy besides 100000 to 100000 regulars and blackshirts either in East Af- rica or awaiting transport.
 Ire furlough measure was inter- preted as an indication that Mus solini believes the European situa. tioa more tranquil, despite the tenseness in the Mediterranean.

SUPPORT
Of MIRA ASKED
BYPRES|DENT

President Roosevelt believes
State legislation to support the
MIRA Is essential to the recovery
program. it was revealed last
night.
The Chief Executive, however,
will make no appeal along that
line until Congress acts on the
proposed resolution to extend MIRA
for another tive years after June
16.
Although a number Of States
enacted enforcement legislation
shortly after the MIRA was set up,
some States failed to do so and
others are proposing to repeal
State laws.
An impression had been created
that the President did not favor
State legislation. To remove this
uncertainty, the White House is
sued the following statement:
'It was authOritatively stated
at the White House that pub.
hshed reports with reference to
State support or legislation re.
Specting NRA enormously in
terpreted the Presidents reply
to an inquiry made at the press
conference today. The StenO-
graphic report shows the follow
ing:
Question: 'Mr. President,
are you asking for State NRA
legislation at this time?'
"The President: No.
Gin view Of the fact that
there has been no Federal NRA
legislation ami that none is vet
under consideration by the Con.
greSS, it is quite obvious that the
President could not have urged
any State action preceding con-
sideratiOn and action by the
