Sulting from accidents in the coun- try each year as "the greatest pub lie menace of the day"
 Ut is incumbent on the chief eX- ecutive of every city to do all in his power, to cooperate in every possible way to halt this carnage" he said. "It was with this thought in mind that the survey was insti- tuted here. We feel sure that with the cooperation of the public of Waterbury, motorists, pedestrians, and school children, we shall gain our end"
 MT. Burrall, appointed chairman of the citizens committee by May or Hayes when the project was first proposed last spring said:
 We feel strongly, now that the survey is under way, that we are going to accomplish something of lasting benefit to the City of Wa terbury. The first thing in mind, of course, is to help lessen to some extent, the loss of life. From a more selfish viewpoint, it is hoped to decrease greatly the city's high automobile insurance rate. We re- alize that to accomplish our aims, we must have the cooperation of every citizen of Waterbury and that we must carry on in connection with the work, a vigorous cam- paign of education"
 Police Aiding
 Superintendent of Police Mclean disclosed that the police department had already begun the work as- signed to it. Safety posters have been given to the Connecticut Go, for displaye on all trolley cars, and will likewise be placed in conspicu- ous places throughout the city, he said. He promised that police of the city would aid in the work in every possible way. MT. Birt this morning gave the newly organized staff their initial assignments, chiefly concerned with the prepara- tion of a "spot map of the city.
 The technical staff workers will number approximately 30 when the project is in full swing. Its find ings will be referred to the citizens committee from time to time as the survey progresses. The committee will then make recommendations to the proper authorities.

the administrative duties of hand ling the championship games fell upon Navin and his nephew, Charles Navin, secretary of the club. He kept irregular working hours.
 At the close of the series Navin told intimates he was very, very tired" He was far from robust.
 Born in Michigan
 MT. Navin was born in Adrian, Mich, April IS, 1871, but lived most of his life in Detroit. He came into baseball to look after the interests of friend. He did not arrive via the playing field.
 When boy, Navin entered the employ of S. F. Angus in his Detroit state insurance agency. He was cashier and bookkeeper. MT. Angus became president of the Imperial Life Insurance ompany and MT. Navin went with him. Two years later, however, he entered the law office of his brother, the late Thomas J. Navin and also attended classes at Detroit College of Law. He was admitted to the bar n the state of Michigan.
 Navin Took Over Club
 In the meantime, MT. Angus, his former employer, purchased the De- troit baseball club from Joseph w.. Burns and George Stallings. They organized it in 1900, the first year of the American league. MT. Angus health was none too good and he asked Navin to handle the ball club for him. This was in 1903.

 'Bossy" Gillis Wins
 "Bossy" Gillis, the red-headed ex- sailor, who was mayor of Newbury- port from 1927 to 1881, was top man in field of four for the may oral nomination in that city. He was 1000 votes ahead of his near est opponent, City Councillor John M. Kelleher, who will fight it out with him in the election next month.

 Detroit Tigers Dies

When Angus sold control of the club to the late William Yawkey, Navin purchased $5',000 of the stock. The outfit was run at 8 loss until 1907, when Navin became half- owner and Hughey Jennings was engaged as manager. In 1908, Navin became president of the club, continuing in that office ever since.
 He was elected.
 Loved Horseback Riding
 Next to baseball, riding horseback was MT. Nayins greatest hobby. He took gallop nearly every morning when at home. He also played golf occasionally, although he was not 8 rabid fan at that game. Although Walter O. Biggs, of the automobile industry is heavy stockholder in the Tigers, active management of the property had been in MT. Ma wins hands, even as far back at the time when William Yawkey be- came interested. He saw the game develop from 8 small wooden plan to the mammoth three-decked Navin Field of the present day.
 Some very able athletes have been employed by MT. Navin. For in- stance, he was at the helm when a dashing lad from Georgia named Ty Cobb came north to electrify the sports world. He had at previous times Wahoo Sam Crawford, Claude Rossman, Charley OLeary, Ger many Schaefer, Wild Bill Donovan, George Mullin, Donie Bush, Harry Heilmann, Eddie Summers, Oscar Witt, Stanley Coveliskie and others.
 Frank Navin has played a prom inent part in the affairs of his city, although he was no politician. He was horse enthusiast and was a patron of the running tracks, hav- ing been interested in the gallopers and his ardor never cooled.
 Some Tributes
 St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 13-(UP)- J. G. Taylor Spink. publisher of the Sporting News, leading baseball newspaper, commenting on the death of Frank J. Navin, said:
 "A terrible blow to baseball. As vice president of the American League, MT. Navin was largely in- strumental in it's early success. His counsel was always a factor in the development of the game"
 Philadelphia, Nov. 13- CUP)- Gerald P. Nugent, president of the Philadelphia Phillies of the Nation al League said:
 Tt was great shock to me. His death not only will be felt in the American League, but also in the National League"

Continued from Page 1.) Britain has been spurred by the struggle for dominance in the Mediterranean. Heavy reinforce mentS of British garrisons in Egypt and the Sudan, stationing of ap- proximately 300 British military airplanes in Egypt and concentra- tion of formidable units of the British navy in Egyptian waters have appeared to many Egyptians as reminder that their country still lacks the degree of independ- ence desired. The rioting here died down early in the afternoon and tin-hatted soldiers preserved order at a mass meeting addressed by Nahas Pasha, leader of the opposi- tion to the government.
 Many Were Injured
 An official communique said everything was quiet except in Cairo and Tanta, 54 miles northwest of here where striking students fought with police. Eighty students and 45 police were injured. A big demon stration was held at the Ahmadi masque in Tanta, where rioters fired on a policy lorry, killing stu dent. The government announced it was ready to take all measures to preserve order.
 Growing Demands
 Growing demands for a parlia- mentary government to ease the grip of England's protective role over over Egypt have been strongly apparent since the British fleet be- gan to gather.
 Long brewing resentment of anti British factions flared with a re- sultant quickening of domestic po- litical activity.

 Addis Ababa, Nov. 13-(UP) - The amazingly swift advance of the Italian southern army from the Somaliland frontier toward Jijiga and Harar is entirely one of recon naissance, in preparation for an ad- vance in force which may come at any time, military officials said to- day.
 For the preliminary advance, it was said, the Italians are using highly motorized units which can move fast on the flat desert ter rain. They insisted that the tanks and trucks which are being used cannot attempt to occupy the ter ritory but are scouting.
 There are no Ethiopian concen- trations in the immediate path of the advance Italian parties the of- ficials said, but only isolated groups who are themselves on scout duty.
 Tanks Seized In Scouting
 It was in a clash of scouting par ties, officials said, that the Eth;op- ians captured four tanks, as an- nounced yesterday.
 A determined advance by the Italians is predicted first because of the need of cutting off Jijiga, through which arms are arriving from Berbera and Zeila, British Somaliland, and because the full moon now prevailing makes Ethiop- ian night counter attacks and raids most difficult.
 The Ethiopians seem concentrated

DEPUTY MARSHAL
 FOR WATERBURY
(Continued from Page 1.)

That the post of U. s. marshal for Connecticut would be filled by the democratic administration within 8 week or ten days was predicted a week ago by the Democrat. The action of President Roosevelt in fil- ling the post is considered a start on the part of national headquar- ters to solidify the democratic par ty as much as possible for the com- ing state and national campaign in Connecticut.
 LOnergan Backed Fitch
 U. s. Senator Augustine Lonergan backed Fitch for the office of U. S. marshal. U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney backed John Scanlon of Meriden for the post. He is now understood to be demanding that Scanlon be named a deputy mar shal. It is possible. that this de- mand will be met in order to pre- serve harmony although the Loner- gan camp is reported as contending that the Maloney camp received the bigger bite when the office of state internal revenue chief went to Thomas Smith of Hartford. Sen- ator Maloney backed Smith.

league members separately, Italy may have hoped to elicit answers revealing certain degree of dis cord over sanctions.
 May Be Joint Reply
 To forestall this, it was reliably stated the British government will immediately open exchanges of views with league members, with view to preparing a joint reply to Mussolini.
 The reply, as the British are said to envisage it, would emphasize that sanctions should not be regarded as an tact of hostility" against Italy, but primarily 8 move to avoid 8 breakdown of the leagues safe guards against war.
 The note also probably will ex- plain in diplomatic language that Mussolini is quibbling when he con- tends that the organization of sanc- tion at Geneva is illegal because it was not formally authorized by the league.

chiefly between Jujiga and Harar where the climate and terrain are favorable for defense.
 As for the northern front, the Philippians still say that they intend to defer their defense until the Italians have over reached them- selves in extending their line of communication to Eritrea.
 Northern Army Joins Up
 Rome, Nov. 13.-(UP)-The Ital- ian northern army has occupied the Dessa Zone, 20 miles east of Makale, and joined the main army to the Danakil column which proceeded southward on the adge of the pla- teau from the Eritrean frontier, it was announced.
 Farther west, the Italians have reached the line of the Takkaze river which is to become the new front pending a third great drive, and are entrenching themselves.
 Askari native troops have com pleted the occupation of the large Gheralta district behind and slight ly to the west of Makale.
 Airplane patrols have proceeded as far south as Lake Ashangi, the district in which begins the motor road to Addis Ababa.
 News of the Italian activities came in 8 communique from Gen. Emilio De Bono, commander in chief in East Africa.
 De Bono said that on the south- ern front operations continued, and airplanes had gone as far as the northern portion of the Ogaden country.

regards a dangerous international atmosphere.
 The political atmosphere is deli- cate. French people are interested in the secret visit to Munich last weekend of Baron Pompeo Aloisi, Italy's chief league delegate, and it is reported that a close collaborator of Joaquin Won Ribbentrop, Adolph Hitler's special ambassador, may visit Paris = perhaps today.
 Germany Is Puzzling
 There was increasing interest in Germany's attitude in the crisis. it is admittedly one of the most determined neutrality, in keeping with Hitler'S policy of keeping out of League disputes ana all others in which Germany is not directly in- volved. But everything Germany has done so far is seen here as lessening Italy's hope that Ger many might exercise a benevolent neutrality toward her.
 Austria Drifting Away
 Austria seems less and less in- clined apparently to side openly with Italy. Foreign Minister Egon Won Berger-Waldenegg, in state- ment in the federal Diet at Vienna last night, said that while the Aus trian government would follow a policy based on cool reasoning as regards economic penalties against Italy, it was an act in conformity with other nations as regards war materials.
 Britain Firing Things
 London, November 13 = (UP) - Great Britain is preparing to pro- pose that all ,52 League of Nations countries participating in penalties against Italy send 8 joint reply to Premier Benito Mussolini's note threatening reprisals, it was under stood today. It was believed the reply, as Britain envisages it, would be strong rebuff for Mussolini.
 Mussolini addressed the nations individually, and asked each to tell him what they proposed to do.
 Under the British plan, the na- tions as individual units would ig- nore Mussolini and in their reply remind him that the full pressure of the league is behind all penal action, and that they intend to deal with him as one group of peace en- forcing countries.

The authorities believe road building qualities inherited from the Ro- mans will enable them to compress the work to be done on Makale field, and enable the air force soon to base here a powerful squadron of Caproni bombers for future activ- ity. The motley weapons captured with Makale are being taken to headquarters, including an old fashioned American Sharp" civil war gun. It is said that the Eth iopians, when short of powder for their rifles, charged cartridge cases with match heads.
 Primitive weapons found include barbed spears which the warriors jab into an enemy's stomach, twist, and pull out. None of these spears signs of use, as the Eth iopans retreated hastily without a fight.
