FIRST BIG BATTLE
IN WEEK

Adds ABABA, Nov. ~. Up - A

first big battle Of the undeclared
Italo-Ethiopian war should take
place on the northern front by the
end of this week unless delayed BY
unreasonable rains.
would be waged between the main
Italian and Ethiopian armies IN the
north amid the mountains Of Eth
opia's lower T1gre province.
Unexpected rains were falling
both In T1gre province and in Oga-
den province on the southern front,
kilograms TO the capital disclosed.
but storms r 50 unusual in the
north during this season that il
was believed they were little more
than showers.
While ~conceding that Ras Seyoum
and Ras Kassa had been falling
back with their large armies, in ac-
cordance with a definite strategic
plan, confidantes Of Emperor Halle
Selassie said the northern COM
manders were seeking to Join their
troops with the better-trained, bet
ter-equipped forces from Adds
Ababa.
The difficult terrain forced the
emperor's armies TO travel slowly
toward the north. Although they
started five weeks ago, when gen.
eral mobilization was proclaimed
authorities estimated they still we're
separated by at least five days from
the T1grean army.
The first major engagement may
be expected some distance south OF
Makale, an imperial adviser said.
among the highest mountains OF
Ethiopia.
The strategic impor : OF
italian capture Of Makale was de-
Precated by the emperor's conf
dante.
Reports reaching the capital said
only a small force Of Italians had
reached the Makale region, and that
the Ethiopians were not yet dis
lodged from the mountain peaks.

Il feel that banks should make
more courageous efforts to substi-
tute private for government credit"
said Leo T. Crowley, chairman Of
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, addressing the bank
ers.
Chairman Jesse S. Jones Of the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton added the assertion that he
was "as anxious as any Of you can
possibly be that the government
get out Of the money lending
business as soon as possible" Then
he warned it should not get out
too soon"
While Crowley outlined an eight
point program to cure banking
abuses" Jones flung before the
nations banking figures a demand
for a fair deal for railroads, pro-
testing that entirely too many"
carriers are dominated by bank
ers."
Jones declared railroads "are en-
titled to a fair deal BY the public,
as well as by our legislators; also
from their competitors in other
forms Of transportation"
The speaker declared he saw no
particular objection" TO a banker
sitting on a railroad board provid-
ed he had no interest whatever in
its financing.
Railroads are so essential to the
national welfare, he said, that "the
government can afford to help" in
their financing.
Saying that the outlook for the
investor in railroad securities Is
none too promising" the speaker
asserted: I'VE have in the course
of reorganization several very
prominent railroads, and others
will follow, so we might as well
look the situation squarely in the
face and be sensible about IT,"
Crowley cautioned that deposit
insurance is mo cure-al" for
banking troubles. He then outlined
an eight point program he felt
would assist IN the elimination OF
those conditions which have caused
50 much grief" II follows:
Restriction Of postal savings 10
bankless communities.
Replacement Of RFC with local
capital.
Efficient management Of banks.
More good insured banks with
eventual smaller premiums.
Elimination Of causes for state
intervention.
Substitution OF private for gov
eminent credit.
Bankers voice in FDIC manage
ment.
More participation by the public
The government never intended
to usurp the place Of local in
vestors. Crowley said, and urged
that bank obligations to the RFC
should be retired "as soon as
practical"

THE judge naturally doesn't want ball players TO
Il accept outside commissions for winning ball
games because there is always danger that player
who is at his boss for under wing him will
make deal with the gamblers at a much higher
rate each game for losing That the trouble with
the White Sox Of 1919 who foued up the industry
with spectacular smell and necessitated the en-
gagement of Judge Lands.
Their employer, old Charlie Comiskey,
great saloon -spender and host with large follow
ing of bar flies and other back-slappers, but when
it came to paying the ball players of the greatest
club in the history of the industry he always wanted
change for nickel So they said to hell with him
and threw him down and nigh onto ruin in the
baseball industry
If I were Dizzy Dean and his brother Daily.
getting the sort of deal and the sort Of gratitude
that they receiving from the baseball industry
this year I would not be in a mood to take much
OF that Chamber Of Commerce conversation from
the old Judge And I know what I would do Just

one one fine day. then I would walk three suckers
to fill the bases and throw the next one over the

He'd Take q Chance

r were Dizzy Dean I would have taken a chance
with the public because the public is Dizzy Deans
friend and if he should go into serious tanrle with
the old judge and Sam Breadon they would GER
tainly come out of it badly scufed up as himself
if not more So
This Dean is a great ball player and fine figure
of young man in the Imagination Of the public be-
sides being. along with his brother Daily lust about
all there is TO the ST. Louis Cardinals Last year
for salary OF $4,000 he won 30 ball games and his
brother, Daily. 10. a total of 40 between them
or just about half of all the ball games the Card-
nails did win. In the course of this performance for
which Paul received a salary OF $1,000 later in
creased to $4,000, they pitched nobody knows how
many thousands of paid admissions through the
turnStiles of the Cardinals and not only that but
they the National League pennant and finally
the World Series
When the time to talk salary for this sea-
son, Brother Dizzy argued down to $40 500 from
his modest asking price of S25 600 and Brother
Daily induced to accept somewhat less. The
wonder is that they not forced to accept
cut instead of raise, because under the peculiar
arrangement which governs employment in the
baseball industry and which Judge Lands stands
for. the employers judgment salary is final. The
ball player is subject to boycott provision which
prevents him from shopping around for better
terms.
Brother Dizzy, being underpad for this season,
invited to get and hustle himself some pick
ings the side after the manner of a French
Journalist. In the course of his cleaning he hooked
up with a who promised him $4,000. He says
the $4,000 is to pay him for some radio work but ex-
planned that the had paid him at the
rate of 500 last year for every game he won.
