SD.-A harassed king of kings,
the Emperor Halle Selassie, found
fresh woe thrust at the foot
of his throne here today.
His impetuous if not effective
quondam air chief, Col. Hubert
Fauntleroy Julian, today found
occasion to term the correspond
ent of a Paris paper "a French
pig"
A furore Immediately blazed in
diplomatic and press circles. The
correspondent hurried before Bel
laten Gueta Herouy, Ethiop1a's
foreign minister. demanding salts
faction with the threat he would
bring the incident before Pierre
Laval, powerful foreign minister
of France.
Minister Herouy promised he
would have Colonel Julian ar
rested. For Harlem's Black Eagle
is now an Ethiopian subject and
a commissioned officer in the
Abyssinian air corps.
Colonel Julian, it is under
stood, uttered the opprobrium in
complaint to the "SSivolous treat
ment" the newspapers had &C
corded his military efforts.

Litvinoff Scores German
Peace Pact With Poland

GEN VA, Sept. IA GNSO.
Soviet Foreign Minister Maxim
Litvinoff struck hard at Germany
when he addressed the League of
Nations assembly today, attacking
the German-Polish non-aggression
pact as a danger to peace.
Germany, whose withdrawal
from the League soon will become
effective, was absent, but Foreign
Minister Joseph Beck, Of Poland
was visibly nettled. Mr.. Litvinoff
said:
"NOt every pact of nOn-aggres-
sion is concluded with a view to
Strengthening the general peace
E. A state which has thus Sc
cured its rear or flank obtains
the facility Of attacking with
impunity a third state"
The Soviet delegation was
thoroughly aroused over attacks
upon Communist leaders made at
Nuremberg, Germany, last night
by the Reich's minister Of propa.
ganda, Paul Joseph Goebbels.
It was felt certain Litvinoff
would communicate with Moscow
concerning the incident, and some
delegates limited a breaking of
diplomatic relations might follow.

BOY RUNAWAY
D. {. VISITOR

Love for his cousin playmate in
New York lured 14-year-old War
rem Adams Webb from his home
in Atlanta, Ca, for a one week
treck over the highways.
The youngster today was picked
up by Ninth Precinct police and
brought to the Receiving Home.
He had been to New York and was
returning home.
In his telephone conversation
with The Times, Warren seemed
unperturbed about his plight. Non
chalantly he answered questions
put to him and the fact that he
was many miles from home did
not seem to affect him.
Warren "thumbed" his way
south. He said he had money for
food and lodging.
His brush with the law did not
seem to disturb his equanimity
and he failed to understand what
all the fuss" was about. His
cryptic comment was:
81 just wanted to see my
cousin in New York. That's all
there is to it. I guess I'll go
home today"
Warren had lived with his
Georgia cousin for several years.
An overwhelming nostalgia for
his former playmate caught hold
of him and he took to the road. he
explained.

Staying of DR.. Carl Weiss, who was
shot down by Longs bodyguard

said 13 witnesses had been suo-

The inquest presents odd COM
plications. Odom is definitely a
Long opponent, but his deputy

machine.

The Long bodyguards failed to
appear when the inquest was held
last Monday. State officers can.
not be Subpoenaed.
Attorney General CASTOR L.
Porterie was non-committal on a
report that the attorney generals
office would take the inveStiga.

Meanwhile, the hand that held
the throttle stilled by death,
Longs political machine showed
signs of drawing in its skirts and
disappearing as q factor in the
national political spotlight.

Widow Rejects SenatOrShip
Although she has refused to
consider the proposal, attempts
are being made to persuade Mrs.
Long, widow of the assassinated
Senator, to accept appointment
for filling out his unexpired term.
Mrs. Long, in declaring her
opposition to the proposal, said
she had the future and welfare
of her children to think Of, which
would make it impossible to take
the post. However, high State
officials at Baton Rouge made 1t
known they will attempt to have
Mrs. Long change her mind. In
the event she did take the ap-
pointment, she would serve only
until January. 1887.
Meanwhile, at Baton Rouge, j.

Il DUCE KILLS
HULL'S HOPE
FOR PEACE
War Fear Is Revived
Here as Dictator
Defies League
Internat atiOnal News Service

Premier Mussolini'S virtual de-
fiance Of the League Of Nations
today rudely shattered Secretary
Of State Hull's newborn optimism
over Europe's latest war scare.
II Duce'S defiant warning that
Italy would consider no COM
promise from the League Of Ma
tionS in its determination to go
forward in Ethiopia turned to
virtual despair the ray Of hope
which Secretary Hull had enviS-
aged here as result of the Anglo
French promise to stand by the
League Covenant and the favor
able reception given his own ap-
peal for peace.
Secretary Hull had hoped that
the marshalling Of world public
opinion in favor Of the mainte-
nance Of peace, as evidenced by
the widespread League support for
sanctions and as thought to be in
his own peace appeal, might in
duce Premier MusSolini to hesitate
and at least consider a compro-
mise.
The fact the italian dictator
has dared to call the League Of
Nations bluff was viewed with
grave misgivings here.
Once again officials saw the
two ominous alternatives:
!. The danger of q new Eu.
ropean war if the League actu-
ally dares to invoke sanctions
against the fiery, Saber.rattling
italian dictator.

Duce held out what was inter
preted as a hope that France still
may sympathize with the Italian
cause.
The official statement, which
made it clear that u Duce still
may bolt the League at any mo
ment, follows:
"The cabinet meeting has
examined in what case Italy
would feel it impossible to re-
main in the League Of Nations
further. The cabinet after hav-
ing observed that around the
Italo-Ethiopian conflict are
merging all forces Of foreign
anti.Facism, it feels it is its
duty to reaffirm in the clear
est way that the ItalO-Ethi-
Opian problem does not admit
of any solution by compromise,
especially after the great ef-
forts and sacrifices endured by
Italy following the irrefutable
Recommendation contained in the
Italian memorandum to the
League.
Then he added:
"The total Of our forces,
military, naval and air, Is Suf-
ficient to meet any threat from
whatever source 1t may come.
Premier MuSsolini addressed
the cabinet on the military and
political situation which devel-
Oped after the BOlzanO meeting.
"He announced that in view
of the restivenesS manifested
among the exiled Italians of
TripoH, it was necessary to
strengthen the defenses Of
Libya.
SUPPLIES PRODUCED
I'll Duce demonstrated that
the total Italian military force
is such as to be able to reply
to any quota. Ammunition and
supplies are being produced.
Prom a military viewpoint
our preparations in East Africa
are proceeding with greater in
tensity in order to guarantee us
against preponderating Ethio-
plan forces, whose mobilization
is now in progress.
"On the basis Of detailed in
formation, ii Duce demonstrated
that the total Of our forces
military, naval and airs Suf-
ficient to meet any threat from
whatever source it may come.
"Under management Of the
war commissariat for manufac-
lures, General DalloliO, who has
had valuable experience in this
task in the World War, prOvi-
sion Of war supplies is proceed
ing at an intensified pace"
From the political viewpoint
he referred to the committee Of
five (of the League of NatiOnS)
and to speeches by Hoare and
AuU 9ECACA 1ACAACAO 4CSP0V
tively).
"He said those speeches could
not have been different from
what they were because of clear
reasons involving the British
and French positions in regard
to the covenant. For that
reason they were received with
the greatest calm in responsible
quarters and among the Italian
public.
"The Cabinet meeting, how.
ever, takes note with satisfac-
tion Of the cordial words by
Laval on the Franco-Italian
agreement of January, 1885,
and the friendship which was
consecrated, the friendship
which Italy intends to develop
and strengthen not only in the
interest of the two countries,
but also in the interest Of Euro
pean collaboration, which can
not be broken by a conflict of
colonial character and by the
application of sanctions which
were never defined and never
have been applied in previous
and more serious conflicts
among members of the League"
