International Mandate
Over Ethiopia Proposed

LONDON, July 30 G.N.s)-A
proposal for an international Eu-
ropean mandate over Ethiopia to
Stave off the threatened Italo-
Ethiopian war has been made to
EmperSr Halle SelaSsie, the Ex-
change Telegraph stated in dis
patch from Adds Ababa today.
The mandate, according to the
reports, would be under the au-
thority Of the League Of Nations
without political preference being
given to any particular power. but
would provide for special economic
concessions for Italy,
In giving Italy the economic
concessions, however, it would be
stipulated that Ethiopian integrity
would be Safeguarded and pre-
served from all foreign aggression.
Emperor Halle Selassie was re-
ported to have stated he does not
object to the principle of European
influence, provided it is purely eco
nomic and not accompanied by
political inspiration or control.

SCHULTZ AIDE
WON'T TALK,
JAILED

MALONE. N. Y, July 80
(I.N.S0.-Uncle Sam ended his
second prosecution Of Arthur
"Dutch Schultz" Flegenheimer
for alleged income tax evasion
today a few minutes after crack
ing down a jail term on a hostile
Schultz henchman.
Just Before the Government
rested, Federal Judge Frederick
H. Bryant sentenced Rocco
Di Larmi, unwilling prosecution
witness, to six months in the
Franklin county Jail for contempt
Of court.
Hawk-faced and sullen, the
mobster was peremptorily ordered
into the witness chair by the
frowning Judge who previously
had ordered his detention when
he refused to testify against
Schultz.
4AlC NOuAV O0ANs
"Df Larmi, I brought you back
here to answer questions which
the court directs you must an
swer. You may proceed, MIR.
Burke"
Assistant United States Attorney
John H. Burke asked:
'Di Larmi, do you know
Joseph HarmOn?"
Harmon is a Schultz alias.
His lips compressed firmly, d
Larmi shot back:
II refuse to answer"
Judge Bryant Immediately told
the mobster to step before the
bench. Di Larmi glared at him
Judge Bryant said:
'T intend to protect your con-
StitutiOnal rights I'm every way,
but you have wiIfully refused to
answer the questions I directed
you to answer. The court di.
rects that you be confined in the
Franklin county jail for q period
Of six months"
Schultz Shows PaIlOr
Pallor spread over Schultz face
as he heard sentence imposed on
his pal.
The Governments case came to
an end after Martin Conboy, spe
cial assistant Attorney General
called John Saxon, internal rev.
enue agent, to the stand to relate
the staggering figures in the va
rious Schultz bank accounts to
the jury.
Few such figures previously had
reached the jury in this trial in
contrast to the first Schultz prose
cution in Syracuse.
Instead Conboy had spread q
history of gangsterism into the
record in an effort to impress the
jurors with the sinister Slayings Of
the pre-repeal era.
If convicted, Schultz faces IL
years in prison and financial pen
alties of $4,000. He is charged
with evading income taxes to the
extent of $92, 900 on net income
Of $3.50, 600 in the bootleg beer
business from 1929 to 1881. =.

Faithful Car Apt to Suffer
From Neglect Because
OF Pr0crastinati0n.
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL

Modern geometry says that for city
and suburban purposes the automobile
is the shortest distance between two
points.
Along about this time Of year when
every ones fancy lightly turns to Spring
the faithful car is apt to suffer from
the most intense kind of neglect.
Owners start their annual procrasti-
nation, stating that they will go over
the car from stem to stern when
Spring definitely arrives. This means
that they will cease keeping the car
Winter -proofed. Before snow storm
upsets these Springtime dreams bet
ter see that the car is kept prepared
for hard going Springtime servicing
will be twice as expensive If 1t has
to be Springtime replacing OF worn
and damaged parts.
Looking over my correspondence with
car owners last year find that many
of them were having the same troubles
that we're common 10 or Is years ago.
Improved as the automobile is it ap-
parently has a disconcerting way Of
making plain that it's still an auto
mobile, although it is only fair to take
into consideration the fact that many
new drivers have come into the picture
in the past few years. They are apt
to have the sort of trouble more ex-

farmer plowing Alaska fields for ruta-
bagas. shooting big game and catch
ing game fish in an effort to beat
the drought by a revival of the old
time American pioneer spirit.
We want settlers, but we want them
self-supporting," oldtime Alaskans
said when they learned of the Govern
ment project of moving 1000 persons
from drought-stricken States to the
fertile Matanuska Valley.
The Matanuska Is one of the finest
farm regions in the world, Alaskans
say, citing as evidence pumpkins
weighing 104 pounds and turnips 96
Any root or grain crop can be grown
there.
Markets Prove Obstacle.
But the Alaska Legislature memo-
rialized Congress this week, asking
that no farmers be sent North unless
they are adequately financed and
equipped. and have transportation
home should their venture fail.
Why?
'The lack of markets." said Eugene
c. Allen, old-time newspaper editor
of the gold rush days. What's the
use of farmers growing crops when
the cost of transportation would make
it impossible to sell them?"
There's one possible way out" said
Frank Cotter, business manager of
the Alaska Weekly, "and one company
is already taking it. They raise the
crops. feed the surplus to livestock and
pack the meat. There's some money
in meat packing
Gold Rush Predicted.
"On the other hand a big boom
is in sight," said Allen; there's going
to be a gold rush and vast increase
in construction. At Ancorage, for
example, the Matanuska Valley Farm
erS' Association is planning a cold
storage plant. That will help. It
ought to be easy to make a good living
if markets and distribution can be
arranged"
