 Paris, Dec. 19-(UP)-Premier Pierre Lavals collition cabinet was brought close to the crisis stage to- day while he, at Geneva, was watching the country's interest in league council work on the Italian Ethiopian problem. The resignation of Edouard Herriot, minister with but portfolio, as leader of the radi- cal socialist party-the largest in the chamber of deputies, and eSsen- tial to the cabinet-brought many predictions that Laval soon must go. But this seemed not so likely as The governments enemies believed. : It was indicated rather that Laval with the support of Herriot, would light on and that the radical social ists would remain in support of the cabinet. Herriot resigned in burst of anger at the end of radical socialist caucus late last night.

 When the varanellis and Varrone, who is also known as James Martino, were booked, police charged them with violation of the Mann Act, as well as violation of state laws. The alleged federal violations were re- ported to the department of justice and that department has been mak- ing and investigation since.

 Rome, Dec. 19.-(UP)-Premier Benito Mussolini maintained his close silence on the Ethiopian crisis today, seeking guidance from events in London, Paris and Gen. eva. A meeting of the Fascist grand council which ended early this morning resulted in no an- nouncement except that the poli- tical situation was examined in connection with British-F French peace proposals and that the coun- cil would meet again at 10 p. m. tomorrow. When the proposals were first advanced, 1t was in- timated most strongly that Musso- lini would accept them as 8 basis for negotiation.
 Receded From Support
 But now Great Britain and France have receded from their firm support, Ethiopia has de- nounced their proposals as unjust small league nations have con- demned them. Italians see in the resignation of Sir Samuel Hoare as British foreign minister, and the resignation of Edouard Herriot Premier Pierre Laval's chief cabi- net aide, as president of the French radical socialist party, an interna- tional plot against fascism They think that Hoare and Herriot are victims of the plotters. Further they are saying again that the league is determined to humiliate Italy at all costs.
 Geneva, Dec. 19.-(UP).-The League of Nations council, meeting privately late today, received reso- lution formally burying the ill-fateo Franco British proposals for nego- tiation of the Ethiopian dispute.
 The resolution was presented by the committee of 13, which com prises all the members of the coun' cil except Italy.
 It provided also for official re- constitution of this committee tC study what further action by the league is possible in the Italo- Ethiopian war.

WHITE CHRISTMAS
UNUSUAL SIGHT HERE

A white Christmas is somewhat OF
a rarity in this section of country
The Oldest inhabitants can recall
many years when sleighbells Joined
in the chorus of Christmas carols
but climatic changes have taken place
it seems, and today the young peo-
pie have little use for skates; and
the owners of all sorts of sleighs have
sold them and allowed the proceeds
to help buy automobiles. And no hor-
ses left to pull the sleds.
This year, however, old Boreas got
busy and today Thursday the skies
are clear, the air nippy and several
inches of snow cover this part of the
earth. For several days the clouds
were heavy and finally they threw off
their burden, and down came the
flakes.
The snow seems to have selected a
suitable season, but it is never well
come here. Weather moderations soon
follow, and rain and slush ensue. This
storm has been wide spread and has
delayed transportation very material
ly. The state roads are fairly well
cleared along trunk lines, but feeders
are still banked. No material dam
age was done, and at present, clear
ing weather is in evidence.
