against handling supplies for Italy
in the event of an Italo-Ethiopian
war may be discussed at Margate
,Lext week at the meeting of the
1e Union Congress, it was
ed today.
This closure followed reve-
lation by International News
Service esterday that British and
Contin ltal Socialists are plan
ming measures which they hope
to rut into operation in the event
of war. ,vsd
In this connection, it was re
called that at the start of the last

strongest supporters of move.

by the fact that actually appro

the estimated income for the year
about $4,35O,OO0,00O. Thus the
Government faces another an
nual deficit of about six thousand
million dollars, which must be
paid by all of the people.
Expenditure of money is easily
the outstanding accomplishment
of the present Congress.

dustry through purchases for the
public works program.
The Congress demonstrated its
desire to deal fairly with labor,
it revised the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act in an effort to provide
a permanent policy of benefit to
the farmers and it contributed
to business stability by voting
taxes, through the banking act
and by rejecting many proposals
which would have been harmful.
In its action on the neutrality
resolution, the Congress let the
world know that the United States
does not intend to be drawn into
a quarrel purely between Euro.
pean nations and in which its
interests are not directly affected.
The House of Representatives
has reason to be proud of its
legislative record. The Demo.
cratic majority has reason to be
proud of the manner in which
it supported President Roosevelt's
program Of betterment and in
the manner in which it blocked
legislation which might have had
a disastrous effect on the Presi'
dents program, |'
I have not known a more able
House during my experience in
congress. It's members are devoted
to the public service and seek
most of all to bring prosperity,
with justice. to all people.

CHICAGO, Aug. % (U.SO.-Be.
fore a startled, crowded court

sion that they had been "con.

the University by a book which
the judge called vicious commun.
iSt propaganda"
The book is New Russia's
Primer" by M. Hin, translation
from the Russian which is on the
social science reading lists at the
university.
Miss Virginia Miller, 10, one of
the goods, admitted that she had
read the book as part of her
studies. She said that 1t, with
other university influences, had
been responsible for some Of her
social ideas.
Judge Aroused
Those ideas led her and her
friend, Miss Margaret Hayward,
20, also a junior at the school, to
help four Negroes picket q relief
shelter Friday night and resulted
in the arrest Of all six.
Turning to James H. Douglas,
jr., attorney for the university,
who had come into court in an
swer to Subpoenas issued for Rob-
ert Maynard Hutchins, president,
and four professors, Judge Green
asked if he knew the book. Dou-
glas replied:
eyes, I have seen it."
Judge Green later remarked:
"ThiS is one of the most
damnable things I have ever
seen. This book, with its effort
to paint American institutions
in the most unfavOrable colors
and its utOpian vision Of o
Soviet society, is q bare-faced,
poisonous attempt to seduce
American children from loyalty
to their country and its COnsti.

GIRLS FREED
The two young girls, both of
whom come of early American
stock, then occupied Judge Green's
attention. He said:
II know you could not have
acquired these silly ideas from
your home environment, and I
blame your university contacts
for your predicament, not you.

Attorney Douglas then stepped
forward and explained that the
men for whom Judge Green had
issued subpoenas were out of
town. The judge replied:
"All right. 1 wanted to know
something about the communist
activities of these men, but If
you say they are not available,

Philippians Using
 Bags Of Salt For
 Native Currency

NEW YORK, Nov. Eth iopia'S currency, the Maria Theresa thaler has been thrust into prominence by It. aly's war preparations again. st the African country, but it is known to Wall Street only by hearsay. Leading exchan- ge houses never have made a transaction in it, a recent sur vey reveals.
 Salt is the common medium of exchange in the ancient and primitive black kingdom.
 The Bank of Ethiopia, in it's semi-monthly letter to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York last posted price that was read out at 36 cents a thaler.
 The coin, which is of silver of 833.33 fineness, weighs 433.O8 grains. Delivered in New York and melted into bars, this silver would be worth approximately 49 cts. a thaler, with the American silver price at 65 cents an ounce.
 The Ethiopian government also circulated a coin known as the Menelik dollar, similar in weight and content to the thaler, but many of tthe na- tives failed to recognize it as money, and it was withdrawn in 1883.
 Salt, a highly prized com- . modity in Ethiopia, figures importantly as a medium of exchange in it's domestic trade. The country imports 13,0O0 metric tons(28,652,0O pounds) of salt annually, and this, taken into the interior in bars and bags is willingly accepted at a rate of exchan- ge that fuctuates according to the supply.
 Larger merchants and for eigners conduct their busi- ness with banknotes issued by the Bank of Ethiopia, covered by silver thaler reserves, not more than 10 per cent govern ment obligations, demand collateral loans and eligible commercial paper.

Girls Profession Is To Sketch Surgery
 In Operating Room

CINCINNATI, Oct. 31-A girl who decided early in life she did not want to be an ar tist has grown up to be one and a very unusual one at that.
 She is Mary Maciel, medi- cal artist for the Department of Surgery at the Cincinnati General Hospital and the Col lege of Medicine of the Uni versity of Cincinnati. She is the only person in her partic- ular field in Cincinnati and one of 100 in the United Sta tes.
 Her task is to watch opera tions, make sketches in the operating room and then she transforms them into delicate ly detailed drawings or paint ings. The drawings are pub- lished in medical magazines and text books or made into l lantern slides for lectures.
 Drawings rather than pho- tographs are used in this work because, Miss Maciel said, ii an operation was photograph ed, hands, scissors, forcepts, etc. would be in the way and make it practically impossi- ble to see the procedure.
