 an increase of nearly 200 from earlier announcements. The United Press survey of last Thursday placed the dead at 442.
 Advised to Agree
 While the cremation order was in conflict with the expressed wishes of President Roosevelt, 1t was understood that federal off cials here, won over to the need for health protection, had advised Washington to acquiesce /to the arrangements.
 The funeral pyres were not the ornate ceremonies of ancient times. The cleansing heat of fire was applied only because--As Sholtz put it-of imminent dan- ger of pestilence spreading along the southeastern coast of Florida"
 The flames were fed by oil ship ped into the area in responSe to the cremation order. The bodies were burned individually for the most part, although in some in- stances several were burned to- gether.
 Officials intended to have tho 132 bodies in Miami buried during the night but 1t was found to be physically impossible to prepare that many graves. Arrangements were made to begin the burials today.
 Controversy Goes On
 Meanwhile the controversy ov- CT both the subject of weather re- ports and the sending of an evacu- ation train for the veterans along the Keys before the hurricape struck was carried on here, in Key West and in Washington.
 G. s. Kennedy, meteoroligist fin charge of the Key West weather bureau, said emphatically that a hurricane warning was broadcast by the Key West naval radio sta- tion to all ships along the Florida Straits.
 States Attorney George A. Wor- ley of Dade county, assigned by Governor Sholtz to conduct Flor ida's own inquiry, was questioning witnesses about weather reports and the movements of the rescue train. Morley said at the begin ming of his investigation that he expected to discover criminal negligence somewhere" but later indicated his report would go to the governor instead of to a grand jury.
 No Repetition Expected
 Reports of the possibility of - a recurrence of the hurricane, caus- ing some alarm at first, were traced today to the spreading of a fisherman's superstition about the waning September moon. As it appeared in the late afternoon sky, resembling half-dollar brok- ken raggedly in half, one of the sides was dipping toward the earth. The fishermen said this always betakened trouble.
 Fishermen were responsible al- so for another story of the hurri- cane. It concerned a dog of non descript pedigree which had been torn from its masters grasp and hurled into the sea. It was pick ed up Il hours later, swimming weakly 6 dozen miles away.
 Mondays blow appeared to have spent itself over the Atlantic last evening, passing out to sea near Norfolk, Va, after leaving Flor ida and pushing a zig-zag course through Georgia, South N. C., and extensive crop damage was done.

 In Good Condition
 He Is in better physical condi- ton today than when he entered the state prison as convict No. 17,400. Daily he takes calisthenic exercises, he eats hearty meals. relishes the prison food, but sleeps fitfully. He wears the regulation gray prison uniform and a pair of house slippers. His shirt is open at the neck and he is not allowed 8 necktie. During the warmer weather he stripped to the waist. Hauptmann completed his autobi- agraphy some time ago and now spends much of his time reading light fiction.
 His Spiritual Adviser
 Once a week his spiritual adviser visits the death house. The min ister reads from the bible and they pray together. The other inmates of the small, one-story building with 16 cells remain quiet during the religious period. Other visit ors to the condemned man include only his wife, Anna, and his at torneys. But Hauptmann is anx- ous to see his small son. Mann fried. Prison officials have not allowed the boy to be brought into the prison.
 Another change in Hauptmann'a life is the dropping off of fan mall, Shortly after his arrest he received several hundred letters a week.
 Last week he received only four.
 Calm and StOlcal
 Hauptmann's attitude can only be described as calm and stoical. He has remained unshaker even through the ordeal of seeing four men in the last seven months walk past his cell to the electric chair.
 Now one of his companions Tn the death house is being prepared to walk the last mile within the next month.
 But Hauptmann remains confi- dent that he will never die in the chair and that eventually he will be exonerated of the abduction and staying of Charles A. Lndbergh, Jr.

 Addis Ababa. Sept. 7.-(UP)- Half of Ethiopia's man power has joined the colors for war with Italy, it was estimated today.
 Unwilling to abandon hope of peace, Emperor Halle Selassie in- tends to delay general mobilization until war is inevitable. When he issues his call, he will bring the total fighting strength to perhaps 1,25O,000 men.
 So far there has been no mobil- ization order. Mobilization as un- derstood abroad is unknown here. But at present every little army in the nation is getting recruits daily. Farmers. laborers, townsmen are joining up voluntarily or, in the case of men who are not employed, are being impressed into the serv- ice of their chiefs.
 Contribute Quotas
 Twenty-Five national districts are contributing their quotas of men leach a little army under tribal chief, i'll armed. untrained in any but the bare rudiments of modern warfare If trained at all, but fanat- ically brave.
 Some men are marching hum dreds of miles over almost impass- able terrain to the fronts border. ing on Eritrea and Italian Somali. land.
 The one narrow guage railway which runs from Adds Ababa to Djibouti, on the coast of French Somaliland. is a toy one and it is impracticable to carry more thar 500 men to a train. Others Ko on foot or on mule back singly or in groups with their chiefs, warriors rather than soldiers.
 Backed By Women
 In action the men will be back ed by many women who have sworn to pick up the weapons sworn to pick up the weapons which their dying husbands drop.
 Estimates of the arms of the warriors remain pitifully small. Despite smuggling, it is still indi. cated that in all the country there Is not as much ammunition as was used in one day in the World War.
 But as men are trained here, they go out to the east and north, where the fighting will be, to train other men as best they can. There are a few foreign military advisers, but the most respected chieftains of the army are men whose last taste of real warfare was obtained 40 years ago when the Ethiopian warriors slaughtered an Italian army at Adowa.

 The report revealed that Skaer had carried parachute and could have deserted his plane had an acc cident befallen it in the air.
 Mrs. Dorothy Skaer. his bride of a few months, has kept up the hunt for skaer long after other search CTS abandoned 1t, organizing posses to hunt remote canyons and isolat- cd mountain country. She still isn't convinced he is dead.

$50 miles an hour---the fastest land plane ever built.
 Take.Off Secret
 Detective Lieutenant W. l.. Rob- ertson. in charge of the detail that investigated the disappearance, re- ported that J. K. Northrop, head of the company that built the plane, instructed pilot Skaer not to fly out of sight of the Los An- geles municipal airport. The take- off on the test flight was secret and the plane's disappearance was kept a secret for many hours. Finally. when fears for Skaer's safety be- came acute, army reserve planes combed the area thoroughly with out result. Robertson found wit nesses who saw the plane head in- land, which he believed showed the plane had not fallen into the sea. Other witnesses saw the sped boat lurking off the coast. When the plane veered and swung up the coast, flying at high speed. the boat changed its course and fol- lowed.
 Last Seen of It Fred l.. Miller, government offi- cer at Palos verdes Hills, over which the plane was last seen. said he saw the plane flying at an alti- tude of 1000 feet. It veered to-

 Appeals to Veterans
 After making at that point his analogy on war, the pope appealed to the veterans direct: Tight now for the honor of God children, fight the glorious daily battle of Christian life fight as good soldiers of Christ"
 The men to whom the pope spoke are assembled, with their chaplains, on a pilgrimage, princi- pally religious in character, which is also an effort to bring former enemies together and make them forget the past through the uni versity of/spirit of the church.
 The pope motored in from his summer seat at Castel Gandolfo for the occasion. Before he spoke, the pope celebrated low mass in the Majestic Basilica, officiating from the papal altar in the center.
