 "The public does not seem to re- alize," the News quoted its inform ant, what a tremendous figure in Germany Gebhardt was. He repre- sented the biggest export and im- port houses in this country"
 Time and again, Gebhardt con- fessed an inability to break with the attractive ashe-blonde who adored him.

WESLEYAN MUST
 CUT EXPENSES

Middletown, Conn.,, Nov. l6-(UP) A drastic slash in expenditures at Wesleyan university, probably af- fecting faculty salaries, was inti- mated by President James L. Me- Conaughy in his annual report to- day to parallel the university's diminishing income and to balance the l936-37 budget.
 We are feeling very definitely the effect of the long continued disturbance of the financial and business world" he said.
 Approximately $l,00o,o00 of the colleges investments produce no in- come and in the fact of @ current deficit of $40,000 and an anticipat- ed increase of $35,000 in eXpendi- lures for l935-36, he pointed out.
 Added income may be expected from the final payments of the Morse bequest. However, unless the average return on mortgages mark edly improves, a deficit must again be faced on June 30, 1886. This policy cannot continue; 1t will be essential, think, to plan balance ed budget for l936-37.

 Norris VIII Reply
 Las Vegas, Nev, Nov. l8-(UP)- Sen. George W. Norris, R.. Neb., said today he soon would reply formally to President Roosevelt's refusal" to permit him to retire.
 Senator Norris was indisposed ir his hotel at Boulder City, New, when the president protested his decision not to run, and refused to comment until today. He had been inspect ing Boulder Dam.
 ffr. Roosevelt said the people of Nebraska and the United States need Norris, and that he should re- main in the Senate as long as pos- Sible.
 Wise Move of President.
 New York, Nov. l6-(UP)-Critics of New York politics gave Q bow to President Roosevelt today as 0 man who shows every sign of being able to eat his cake and have 1t, too.
 Making two politically important appointments in the metropolitan district yesterday, MT. Roosevelt apparently sighted Chief Sachem James J. Dooling of Tammany Hall, but soothed wigwam feelings thus ruffied, by naming Tammany man United States marshal.
 The president appointed Lamar Hardy, former corporation counsel without Tammany connections, to the United States district attorney for Southern New York. He made John J. Kelly marshal.
 Politicians had awaited the ap- pointments for weeks with appre- hension that they might rupture anew the only partially patched re- lations between Postmaster General James A. Farley's state democratic organization and the city machine. Tammany showed such strength in the recent election that democrats feared strife might jeopardize chances next November.
 The party consensus was that the national administration had neatly walked e tight rope.

Boston, Nov 16-(UP)-Governor Curleys former gardener may ap- peal to the Public Utilities commits sion from an order busting him from his $32.30-a week job as an investigator in the state motor truck division.

 A curt command to turn in his badge, No. IA, was his first warning that he was through, McCabe said.
 Department officials, however. de- clared that McCabe not only had been late for duty repeatedly, but had stubbornly refused to explain his absences.

 Most Important Scene
 The most important observation made during the flight was that of a huge tent, big enough to hold a small town circus, which military authorities believe must be oc- cupied by one or more important chieftains, possibly including Ras Siyoum, commander in chief on this front. It was the first time that such an enormous tent had been seen. It was surrounded by armed groups, mostly without tents.
 It was noted that there was an absence of agricultural labor, though usually at this time of year the country is dotted with farmers and their families working on the crops.
 It is announced officially that air. plaines have succeeded in dropping supplies and water by means of parachutes to the advance guard of Gen. Mariotti's volumn, which is proceeding along the edge of the Danakil region east of makale.

 On Monday, November i8, the league sanctions 90 into effect. The only possible rainbow for Italy in the diplomatic sky is the over- whelming government victory in the British elections.

 Addis Ababa, Nov. 16-(UP)-For Q country at war Ethiopia is un- believably calm.
 There is less confusion in Addis Ababa, capital of e nation that has mobilized an army of a million men, than in a French provincial town on market day. And along the railway from the capital to Djibouti there are fewer soldiers in evidence than one ordinarily encounters at wayside stations in Italy in peace times.
