Ethiopians Slash Lines
Of Italians at Makale

Adds ABABA, Dec. 27 0.N.S0.
Ethiopian troops, striking deep be-
hind the italian lines, have cut
off Italian communications with
the important northern city OF
Makale, the government an
nounced today, after fighting in
which the italians were routed
leaving between 80 and 100 dead.
At the same time, as a result OF
this and other recent Ethiopian
victories on the northern front,
Emperor Halle Selassie was semi
officially reported to have drawn
up a five-point program OF peace
terms which would net Italy
virtually nothing and which are
set forth as the minimum terms
upon which the Negus would ne
gotiate peace.
Negus' Peace Terms
Here is the reported peace pro
gram, embodying drastic Ethiopian
demands which are far cry from
the nowdead Hoare-Laval peace
proposals which would have given
half of Ethiopia to Italy:
/. Complete withdrawal of Ital-
ian trops from Ethiopian terri
tory.
2. Payment of indemnity by
Italy.
8. Recognition of Ethiopia as a
sovereign state by the big powers.
4. Delimitation of the frontiers

Resources Board Puts
Regional Plan Up
to President
international News Service

Division Of the country into ten
or more regions, each with head
quarters city which would be virtu-
ally a Little Washington" was
recommended to President Roose-
velt today in a report of the Ma
tional Resources Conn mittee
headed by Secretary of the In
terror IckeS.
While the committee recon-
mended the regional set-upS pri-
mari1y for national resource study
and operations, it reported that
all Federal offices in such regions
might be consolidated in the
Little WaShingtons," and Federal
regions for all divisions Of the
Government made uniform.
At present, almost every branch
OF the Government has the
country divided into regions, rang
ing from three to as high as 20.
Nine Regions Selected
The committee has agreed upon
the following regional division
and divisional headquarters cities:
New England, Boston; Eastern,
New York; Ozark-Appalachian
Knoxville; Southern, Atlanta;
Gulf Coast. New Orleans; Mid
western. Chicago; Pacific North
west, Portland; Pacific Southwest,
San Francisco, and Intermoun-
tain, Denver. The committee re-
ported:
There is uncertainty among
us as to certain other possible
choices. The Denver office
might serve the intermOun-
tain region, or the great plains
region, or both; this decision
would obviously be affected by
the possible selection of Salt
Lake City in the intermOuntain
region, and of BiSm arck,
Omaha, or some other city as
a center for the great plains.
"Again, Nashville has been
suggested as a possible center,
In place of Knoxville for the
OZark-Appalachian region, with
Cincinnati for an Ohio Valley
development area. We have
reached no decision as to
whether st. Paul, Duluth, or
some other city would best
serve as a center for the Great
Lakes forest and cut-over
region. But on the cities listed
first above, we did reach agree
ment."

SEN. CAPPER
TO OPPOSE
DC. RACING
Does Not Believe In
Income Tax Law
for District

Definite opposition to local race
track and income tax legislation
was announced today by Senator
Arthur. Capper (RD of Kansas,
ranking minority member of the
Senate District Committee.
The KanSan, at his first press
conference since he returned to
the city for the coming session,
also declared himself strongly in
favor of the proposal of Commits
Sioner George C. Allen for a refer
endum system in the District, and
at the same time denied that he
will introduce legislation providing
for the return of prohibition here.
Dealt Death Blow
It was Senator Capper who dealt
the death blow to the local race
track bill in the closing hours of
the session Of Congress in 1884.
The bill had passed the House
and had the approval of the Sen
ate District Committee, but Sen
ator Capper's mo" when it was
called up in the Senate killed it.
Discussing the recent movement
which has developed here to have
the measure passed during the
coming session, Senator Capper
said:
81 don't think a race horse
bill is needed here. 1t will bring
in an element we do not want
in the Nations Capital. The
betting feature is very objection
able, especially here where they
want to get at the Government
employees and take their
money"
Interested in Taxes
A member of the Senate District
subcommittee on taxation, the
Kansan showed vital concern in
regard to that subject. Comment
ing on the probe into the local tax
situation started by the local gov
ernment heads, he said:
"The best feature of that in
veStigatiOn is that the local Of
ficialS are going to conduct
hearings. / am very much in
favor of the local taxpayers ex-
pressing their views on the
matter, because, as see it.
there are no other people in
this country who have as little
voice in the administration of
their Government as do the
people of this city.
"If it is necessary to get
more taxes here. / am absolute
ly opposed to the imposition Of
an income take. 1 don't think
it is needed here.
81 never believed the fiscal
relations between the District
and Federal governments was
on a firm basis. When I came
here it was on a $3.50 basis,
later it was changed to the
District paying 60 and the Fed
eral Government 40, and it has

A general feeling of confidence that pervaded the marked im- provement of 1894 over 1888 will continue until 1885 invades { h 8 years annual statement by leaders of the automobile industry in Wa terbury whose latest designs will be placed on exhibition before the public tonight at the annual mann moth automobile show at the Field street Armory.
 This confidence is based upon observance of eonditions sur rounding the industry and upon the specific fact that advance or- ders from dealers for the new models now on display materially exceed the orders accumulated at this time last year.
 Optimism Prevails
 Alfred r. Sloan, IT,, president of General Motors Corporation, Tn a New Years prediction said he believed this year would be some what better" than last, primarily because the "deflationary forces" of the depression had largely spent themselves in the summer of 1892" and there was develop ing at the moment a sounder ap- proach' to vital economic prob- lens.
 Mir Sloan said he believed the policies of the past had "deceler- ated rather than accelerated the normal processes of recovery" but that now he felt convinced thi.t "the essential things to encourage and promote creative effort" would be done.
 While 1t Is true that the automo- bile show will reveal many highly ingenious innovations in car de- sign, any serious desire to grasp the full significance of the im- portant trends in design calls for bearing in mind the fact that n the development of its 1885 line of models the yautomobile industry again faced the old-age problem of submitting to compromises.
 General Changes Tell Story
 N3t too much significance should be attached to any one develop ment nor to the details of any one car makers revision in body styl- ing or mechanical design. Rather the true picture should be drawn from those changes which are general in all price classes, not to mention the importance of de- sign which has not changed at all.
 Engineers, for instance, seem

Style, of course, is one of the biggest factors of leadership-for the American motorist demands style almost as emphatically as he demands performance. That's why Chevrolet, as the leader of the in- dustry. has led off this year with a marked departure from the con- ventiOnal design, presenting car that is the acmeof style. We i'm posed only one limit on our design ers-they could go as far as they liked, We said, to attain the beauti- ful, the stylish--so long as it did not interfere with utility and practicability.
 'As a result, we offer this year not merely the style of outward ap- pearance developed to the highest degree, but the style that is the in- evitable result of culture and good taste as applied to interior design.
 Something New.
 "Outwardly, our Master De Luxe models strike a note that never could have been sounded before because only the development of the marvellous Fisher 'turret top construction has made possible the svelte smoothness that character izes our bodies in line and contour. The 'turret top body, of course, gives added safety; but even moro important, l. believe, than it's con- tribntion to safety is its effect in enhancing the overall appearance of the car-its unification of the ensemble into an integral unit of form and color. @ (
 'In the interiors, too, we have lived up to the same high stand- ards imposed by leadership, for af- ter all, true pleasure in motoring does require more than a safe and smooth ride. Most important Is in- terior ventilation of the. passenger Chevrolet, with it's famous improved Fisher no-draft ventilation, alone of all the low priced cars, gives to each passen. ger individual control to suit his own needs. The driver or any pas- senger may regulate the adjustable sections of the several windows to his comfort. When full sweep of air desired, windows may be lowered, and a front-opening screened cowl ventilator will sweep in the air, while excluding insects, to give a current that Is just as efficient yet so dangerous or dis turbing. as the blast through an open windshield.
 Visual appeal adds so much to the pleasure and comfort of motor- ing that Chevrolet has concentrat- ed on the interior appointments to make them not merely practical, but distinctive in their appearance. A richness not to be expected in cars in Chevrolet's price range has been effected by the tastefuIness displayed in the upholstery and in the trim. Actual luxury Is present

in the upholstery, a densely woven velvet mohair of distinctive pat tern that would grace far costiler cars.
 Luxury Emphasized.
 "But the interiors are replete with items that mean luxury, eith- CT in comfort or in good looks. Note the oriental grained walnut effect of the instrument panel and of the window holdings. Note the numerous other individual touches here and there that are the marks of leadership--the window and ventilator controls with onyx tips, for example: or the deeply recessed arm rests; or such items, not or- Chevrolets price, as the robe rail, the assist cords, or the built-in foot rest recessed in the front seat. And if you are a rear seat rider, note above all, the floor of the tonneau compartment--for 1t Is fiat, as q floor should be, and unmarred by O. transverse bump or a fore and aft ridge to trip one up or to spoil ones comfort. 4r-.
 'I have pointed out only a few of the things in which we must excel to maintain our reputation for leadership. The leader must lead-he must give full value in all things, at all times; the leader must not economize by skimping f1ere, or cutting corners therefor If he does, he will cease to be the leader. We of Chevrolet. fully con- scious of the obligations, which leadership imposes, have determin- ed to live up to them. and to main tain our position. The tremendous economies that We drive through the scope of our production enable Us to build quality cars while keep ing their cost within the reach of the millions wh year after year de- pend on Chevrolet for economical transportation."

satisfied with the poppet valve, four-cycle engine. Plate clutches, rear-end drive, suction carbure- tion, four-wheel brakes, pump fuel feed, water cooling and the system of permitting the engine to idle every time the car is halted in traffic remain in appar- ent favor. Such actualities in de- sign, however illogical we may con- sider them, play q bigger role in
 making motoring what we know 1t to be than many an innovation
 that tends to capture our fancy. Some If the most widely discussed features of last years cars are to- day mere history, while some of the 1895 innovations are reincar- nations of yesteryear's premature efforts to step ahead. In the for ward march of the automobile

United Press Staff Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. IA. - A
debt of honor, outgrowth of tragedy
will be repaid here Friday night
when Max Baer, heavyweight box
ing champion of the world, meets
Stanley Poreda, Jersey City, in a
four-round, no decision bout with
six ounce gloves.
Poreda will weigh around PIT
pounds, and Baer 214.
In 1880, Max Baer was a bashful
apprentice butcher of Livermore.
Two years before, he had surprised
himself by getting into a fist fight
instead of running away. He won.
He decided to become a boxer, but
was so shy it was weeks before he
gained courage to enter a gymna-
SUM. In 1929, as a preliminary boy,
awkward but of trem dou S
strength, he knocked out IL oppon-
ents and decisioned two.
The next year, he knocked out
eight opponents, was decisioned
twice. graduated to main events.
"I1l be champion some day" he
boasted.
On August 25, 1890, he met Fran
kie Campbell, young San Francis
can, for the coast championship.
In fifth round Baer landed two
blows to Campbell's midsection.
Frankie retreated Baer drove him
into the ropes with hard rights and
lefts to the jaw.
Campbell's eyes were glazed, his
hands limp by his sides. His knees
buckled.
Baer, the boy who dreamed of a
championship, stood with feet wide
apart, pumping hard blows into his
helpless opponents face. Only
those blows, it seemed, kept the
helpless frankie erect. Referee Toby
Irwin made no move.
Died In Hospital
At last Campbell sagged slowly tc
