Says Franco.

NEW YORK, August 24-Col. Ra-
mon Franco, Spanish revolutioniSt,
and that country's first air attache
to the United States, believes progress
of aviation has made new world war
improbable.
"Old World statesmen all know a
new war would mean destruction Of
our civilization from the air" Franco
said today upon his arrival here en-
route to Washington.
1.-The speed and range Of bombing
planes and their numbers make it i'm
possible to prevent their swift attacks
on centers of industry and commune
cation. Air forces of the countries
attacked can only retaliate by raids
Of their own. Modern European air
forces can render ineffective the most
powerful army by Gripping its move
ments.
This Is especially true in Europe.
The United States. lacking enemies
at her borders, still regards aviation
more as a defensive than as an Of
fensive weapon. Progress here is in
commercial flying, in which the vast
extent of the country is a great adj
vantage in eliminating duplication Of
organization and international regu-
lationS."

LEAGUE MAY ATTACK ETHIOPIA
French Ask ii Duce to Air His Com,
plants, Give Ground for Action.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, August 24.-Ethiopia may
find the League of Nations judging her
instead of Italy when the Geneva
Council tackles the problem Of peace
or war September 4, some French OBJ
servers said today.
Both Premier Pierre Laval and An
thony Eden of Great Britain told
Baron Pompec Aloisi of Italy at their
conference last Sunday that they had
certain sympathy" with 1taly's need
for expansion.
Since then. the observers said,
Laval sought to induce Premier Mus
solini to send Aloisi to the League
Council session instead of defying 1t
or ignoring it. Mussolini, it was un-
derstood, agreed, and Laval was fur
ther reported to have suggested that
Italy make a full presentation OF
Ethiopia's alleged misdeeds to the
Council
II Duce heretofore has talked SO
much Of colonial expansion that the
border troubles have been overshad-
owed.
There Is no expectation here that
the Council would approve an Italian
conquest Of Ethiopia but, it was
pointed out, the evidence might be
considered as justifying a punitive
expedition which the League might
tolerate without actually approving.

ALCOHOL CONTROL
BILL PASSES HOUSE
Conference Report, Called
"Surrender to Lobby"
Is Approved.

Although it was described as sur
render to the liquor and glass bottle
lobby" the conference report on the
Federal alcohol control bill was ap-
proved today by the House.
Senate acceptance will make the
measure ready for transmission to the
President
The critic was Representative Fuller,
Democrat, of Arkansas, who objected
that the final draft forbids the sale OF
liquor in bulk and exempted breweries
from Federal control.
After this bill has been in effect a
while" Fuller told the House, I'VE
will have bigger liquor scandal than
we ever had before prohibition"
Chairman Doughton of the Ways
and Means Committee denied FullerS
accusations, remarking that breweries
would be subject to State laws.
The deadlock which threatened to
block passage of the bill this session
was broken when the conferees reached
an agreement late yesterday.
Their compromise was a partial VIC
tory for each House.
The Senate's victory lay in elimina-
ton of the House provision which
permitted the sale Of liquor in kegs
and barrels. Some legislators held
such sales would throw the door open
to illicit practices, though others con-
tended the present set-up in the
bottled goods trade led to high prices
which spurred bootlegging.
In return for the concession by
House members, Senate conferees
agreed to permit the new Alcohol
Commission to function as a division
of the Treasury instead Of as an in
dependent agency as provided when
the bill originally passed the Senate.
Senators also agreed to permit con-
troll of beer, but with an added pro-
vision that Federal beer regulation
should extend only to such States as
have laws as stringent as Federal laws.
A Senate amendment providing for
collecting internal revenue taxes from
retailers was struck out.
Smashing of the log-jam brought
SdIlSldSllOil W 1llciilS VI JIG Aicdo-
ure on both sides of the Capitol. For
weeks the bill had seemed hopelessly
mired by the dispute over sale of bulk
liquor to hotels and clubs.
Only this week the House Ways and
Means Committee voted, 20 to 4, to
insist permitting the bulk sales. But
shortly after Charles West, former
House member and now presidential
liaison NAL, conferred with commit
tee Democrats yesterday, the group
agreed to yield.
The new liquor control is a substi-
tute for one that fell with N. r. A.

right and bristling policy of nc work
no relief was shaped last night by
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, Federal works
progress administrator, in an effort to
speed up the transfer of unemployed
on home relief to w. P. A. jobs.
The generals program, evolved after
conference with city and Federal Off
cials, calls for court action and pos
sible jail sentence against family
heads who decline jobs where the well
fare of dependents is involved.
The w. P. A. policy, coming after
much speculation as to the relief sta
tus of w. P. A. strikers, boils down tc
an edict of work or go hungry fol-
those who would prefer voorhees, home
relief to sweating on w. P. A. jot
for their relief money.

MOONEY WITNESS
CALLS AT CAPITOL
Mcdonald Makes Affidavit
to Convince President
of Perjury.

With John Mcdonald, self-accused
perjurer in the Mooney case, in the
Capital, an effort is being made to
interest President Roosevelt in his
story that he was forced to testify
against Tom Mooney and Warren
Billings, serving life for the Prepared
ness day bombing In San Francisco
10 years ago.
Mcdonald. partly paralyzed, came
here yesterday from Baltimore where,
for 10 months, he has been in the
poor ward Of the City Hospital. At
the Office Of Representative Caroline
O'Day, Democrat, Of New York. he
made an affidavit, which he is hopeful
Of getting before the President, in
which he said he is willing and
anxious to go back to California and
serve time for the wrong have done
Mooney and Billings"
The document amplified:
Eat the time, I was forced to per-
jure myself against Mooney and Bill
ings while in the clutches of Charles
Ell Sul1k4d dlAA VA q AOe "a
cops. I never saw Mooney till the
cops took me to his cell after the Pre-
paredness day explosion"
Mcdonald came into the limelight
several years ago when he first re-
pudiated his testimony against Mooney
and Billings. The newest affidavit
was made after he went to the capital
in company of John Jenkins, chair
man of the local Mooney Defense
Committee, to seek aid in bringing
the case to the attention Of the Presi-
dent.
Mrs. ODay said she had already
written to the President in behalf of
Mooney as have ether members Of

The LIST Division was set back q
half hour in its advance to wherever
it was going yesterday by a tadcab
and an ex-Marine, William H. Minor
Minor was transporting four SOL
diers of the 43d Division, and he drove
through a battalion of the LIST be-
fore he was captured. They ordered
him to turn around. He backed up
and stalled his motor with the cab
across the road.
The road choked with artillery and
no argument would bulge the ex-
Marine. They put him under guard
and ordered Inn to drive to LIST Divi-
sion headquarters.
The ex-Marine still had the situa-
ton in hand-he knew the roads, the
guards didn't, and he took them to
the 43d Division headquarters and
made them prisoners.

States has adopted a policy of mind
ing its own business, to keep out OF
European controversies. European
wars and the like.
Its a delightful time now to find
justification of the men who stood
firmly years ago for maintaining
American security and keeping out
of every foreign ENHANCEMENT and
every European war;" johnson said.
To-day marks the triumph of the
international isolationist and marks
the doom OF the internationalist."
johnson said the sponsors of the
resolution had his hearty sympathy"
for their "laudable DESIRES" but he
said those who believed it would be
a means of preventing America from
becoming involved in war were
doomed to disappointment"
Connally followed johnson and as
serted he would vote for the resolu-
ton only because it was "at least a
gesture in behalf of peace"
This resolution itself does not
mean peace" he asserted. II want
real peace, but the surest way TO
involve us in war is to tell the world
we'll fight under no circumstances. p"
The resolution had been pressed
through the House last night without
a record vote, modified in accordance
with the Presidents request for the
provision requiring that the manda-
tory embargo on shipments of arms
to belligerents shall terminate next
February 29 The Senate originally
had voted permanent embargo.
1t was evident that some House lead
ers were opposed to the mandatory ma
ture Of the arms embargo. Chairman
McReynolds of the Foreign Affairs
Committee, which sent the measure
to the floor. explained at some length
why he objected to the mandatory
feature. Finally, Representative Nav
erick, Democrat, of Texas, who wanted
stronger legislation but said that
this is the best We can get" asked
McReynolds:
Are you for this bill or against it?"
McReynolds then Endorsed it.
Scored BY Wadsworth.
Representative WadSworth. Repub-
lican, of New York, attacked the bill.
He said by way OF example, that Italy
is great and powerful nation; Eth
opia is utterly lacking in industrial
resources" To declare a mandatory
embargo against both, he contended,
would mean that "the weak should not
be permitted to purchase weapons.
This is an open invitation to the
great and powerful to attack the
weak" he said.
Representative Knutson, Republi-
can. Of Minnesota remarked: ct won
der where We would be today If France
had had such law in 1776?"
Representative Rogers, Republican
of Massachusetts, argued it was wrong
to pass a measure of such gravity
with brief consideration.
Think of passing something In 40
minutes that may jeopardize the
future of our country" she said. "In
the days to come we may regret our
action"
However, when a vote was called

LAW ON UTILITIES
RUSHED TO BOOKS
Two Houses Struggle to
Enact Compromise Be.
fore Quitting.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Administration leaders praised and
foes condemned the utilities bill to-
day as the Senate and House rushed
along toward enactment of the COM
promise measure before adjournment.
After weeks Of struggling, conferees
an agreement on all points yesterday.
including the highly controversial sec
ton calling for abolition Of certain
holding companies.
Quick approval Of the conference
report by the Senate and House was
forecast. The bill then goes to the
White House for signing by President
Roosevelt, who urged the compromise.
The Senate had voted mandatory
abolition by 1912 Of holding companies
deemed unnecessary" The House
decided to give the Securities Com
mission discretionary authority in
ebolishing them. The compromise
would permit the imposition Of two
holding companies on one "integrated
system" of operating companies serv-
ing adjacent territories.
Victory is Argued.
Who won-the Senate or the
House-in the tug-of-war over the
holding company issue was still a
lively subject in the post mortem ex-
animation that followed acceptance
Of the compromise.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, co-author Of the Senate bill,
was highly pleased. He said:
IF any one can see a victory In
this, 1t is hardly one for the utilities
people. No measure has ever gene so
far toward regulating holding COM
panies and eliminating them when
they are unnecessary. 1t is q good
bill"
Power officials, who led the long
fight against the legislation, con-
demned the compromise. Philip H.
Gadsden, chairman of the Committee
of Public Utility Executives, said: 1T
Is simply the original death sentence
in another FORM
Blow Seen to Investors.
by accepting it," he asserted, "the
House struck a blow at the millions of
Americans who have invested in utility
securities" He attributed adoption
of the compromise to the Government
lobby" and patronage"
Other disputed points settled by the
compromise agreement provided:
Holding companies may issue bonds
secured by a first lien on properties
owned directly or upon properties Of
subsidiaries, with the Securities Com
mission empowered to say whether
other assets could be made the basis
for bond issues.
Affliates or subsidiaries Of holding
companies which perform services for
the operating companies must do so
at cost.
