 Rome, Oct. 7.-(UP)-The first comment on casualties in the Ethi- opian campaign appeared today when noon editions of the news papers, closely controlled by the government, had such headlines as Enemy Suffers Grave Defeat; Dead Counted by Thousands"
 There was no mention of the number of Italian casualties or of Philippians wounded or taken pris- oner, and there were no specific estimates of Ethiopian dead.
 Mogadiscio, Italian Somaliland, Oct. 7.-(UP)-Italy is conducting extensive bombing operations in Ogaden province as the opening phase of it's drive for the Djibouti- Addis Ababa railway, it was disclos- ed today.
 In addition to bombing Gorrahei and surrounding territory, bombs were rained on large body of Ethi- opians stationed along the banks of the Fafan river, which leads almost directly north toward Jijiga.
 Heavy Ethiopian forces are re- ported to be in the Gorrahei re- zion.
 A special base has been con- structed, and road built, to supply the Ualual troops from the coast.
 London, Oct. 7.-CUP)-Italian airplanes reconnoitering south of Aduwa ripped an Ethiopian troop column with bombs, hand grenadeS and machine gun fire, the Exchange Telegraph correspondent on the northern Ethiopian front reported today.
 The Ethiopian column, retreating from Aduwa, was moving southward along the caravan route toward Makale, which may be the imme- diate objective of the next phase of the Italian attack.
 The Italian planes, the corre- spondent said, encountered the col unn nine miles from the Italian lines on the edge of Aduwa.
 Addis Ababa, Oct. 7.-(UP)-The corps of foreign correspondents in Emperor Halle Selassie's capital was saddened today by the death of one of their number, Wilfred Courtenay Barber, of the Chicago Tribune.
 Barber, one of the first American journalists to reach Addis Ababa. died yesterday in Filuha hospital from nephritis, acutely aggravated by double malaria contracted three weeks ago while making personal observations in Southern Ogaden where fighting is expected.
 He is survived by his wife, the former Josephine Sibbert, of Chi cago, whom he married two months before leaving for Africa. She is at present in Paris.

correctly on the liquor issue would be thrown out.
 Early reports indicated a fairly heavy return in most sections, des- pite the Jewish holiday. Tn many towns special meetings made pro- visions for holding the polls open later than the customary hour to accommodate the Jewish vote.
 There was a bit of confusion at Stonington and North Stonington oxer similar names appearing on the ballots. At Stonington the demo- cratic candidate for second, select man was John J. Donahue, and the republican candidate for the school committee was John J. Donohue. At North Stonington Charles l.. Brown, democrat, was candidate for selectman and Charles R. Brown, republican, sought election was town clerk and treasurer.

 lished in some quarters. It is an- nounced that six persons were wounded by bombs dropped on two northern towns and that five were killed and IS wounded in a raid on Gorrahei in which 300 bombs were dropped. -.. ,-
 Bombs Did Not Explode
 Of the 300 bombs, it was said that more than 100 failed to explode, partly, perhaps, because of the sandy soil.
 Reports from Ogaden province in t-.a south say it still is raining in some areas and this might delay Italy's attack on the Addis Ababa Djibouti railway.
 1t is eloquent of the peculiar dip- lornatic situation surrounding the present undeclared war that Count Luigi Vinci- Gabliucci, Italian min- ister, announced today that one of his consuls isolated in Gimira prov- ince could not reach here for 20 days at least, and that he would remam until the consul arrived.
 President Roosevelt's arms en- bargo caused little comment here. It was realized that the United States would be neutral, and any, way Ethiopian's hopes of arms lie nearer to Addis Ababa. Arms-in what quantity can not be estimated for most of them go to other places. than the capital--are coming in from French and British Somaliland and 1t is hoped that Britain soon will lift its embargo.
 The emperor in a statement to the press yesterday praised the work of the league council and ex- pressed new hope that it would pro- tect Ethiopia from unjust attacks.

(Continued from Page 1.) trade they might seek to carry on with either Italy or Ethiopia must be conducted at their own risk and without this governments protec- tion.
 Officialdoms consensus was that the presidents action had insulat- ed the United States against any complications growing out of the conflict.
 May Put On Damper
 His warning that those who conduct any sort of trade or com merce with either belligerent must do so without this governments blessing or protection was expected to put damper on American ex- ports of wheat, cotton, copper, steel and other commodities to Italy which might bring about in ternational Complications.
 As matters now stand the league powers are assured in advance of an imposition of sanctions that the United States will not insist upon the right of American vessels to trade with either belligerent. Any American vessel which does make the attempt probably could be stopped by any warship of the league powers without mourning the displeasure of Washington.
 Although the presidents procla- nation legally applies equally to Italy and Ethiopia, the practical ef- feet is to involve only Italy because this country has practically no com merce with Ethiopia and Ethiopia has no ships.
 Exports Were Heavy
 American exports to Italy normal ly average about $8000,000 8 month. Italy has number of palatial liners and intermediate class passenger boats which call regularly at Am erican ports.
 The general view here was that the administrations neutrality &C., tually had provided a starting wedge for the league powers in the im- position of sanctions against Italy. Tn most quarters 1t was considered that MT. Roosevelt had used good strategy, both politically at home and in the international field.
 Officials here believed the presi- dent had cut of possible criticism from anti-league circles thSt he was following the leagues dictates in a foreign quarrel.
 In the international field, it was believed the presidents actions were more favorable to the cause of peace than they would have been if he had waited until after the league voted sanctions before he an- nounced this governments attitude.
 It was felt the presidents posi- ton would be approved by congress sional leaders, in that he was con- sidered to have complied with both the spirit and the letter of the re- cant Iv- ara ctnd ra1Itra 1itv 1aw

Italian Ships to Sail

New York, Oct. 7-tUP)-The Italian line, operating de luxe pas- senger ships between New York and Mediterranean ports, expects no decrease in it's passenger business due to President Roosevelt's admo- nition to American travellers that they patronize vessels of a country at war at their own risk.
 Aroldo Palanca, general manager for the United States, said he had heard of no cancellation of passage and expected none. The Mediter- ranean, he said, was entirely safe for travellers. e
 The Conte Di Savoia, which with the Rex is the newest and most palatial liner in the Italian mer- chant marine, sailed Saturday with 300 passengers, normal for this sea- son, Palanca said. The Rex sails from New York, October 19. The .Vulcania, now in service as a troop ship between Italy and Eritrea, will sail on a West Indian cruise from New York in December. The Roma sails October % for a Mediter- ranean cruise. The Saturnia, the other first rate Italian trans-Atlan- tic liner, also is q troop ship for the present.
 Munitions Order
 Washington, Oct. 7.-(UP).-Or- ders for the halting of arms and munition shipments to Ethiopia and Italy were sent to customs officers nt principal seaboard ports today by Customs Commissioner James H. Moyle, pursuant to President Roose- velt's embargo proclamation Satur- day night.
 Ti-e order was telegraphed to Boston. Philadelphia. New York.

Lack of Juneau History
 Proped Worry to Co,uling

below the surface. Whats the an- swer?"
 Reck's answer was to relieve Cowling's worry by explaining bit of Juneau history.
 It seems in the early days here, about 1905 or 1906, J. B. Caro, pio- neer wholesaler, thought of the idea of central heating plant for the town. His plan was to use the furnace in his building, still hous- ing the Caro concern at Willough- by Avenue and Main Street. Pipes were constructed to buildings, some many blocks away.
 Didn't Work
 But Caro's idea, although good one, didn't work Engineers didn't know much about insulation in those days and the pipes were packed in nothing but wooden box es. So the central heating system was abandoned.
 Caro's pipes, Beck explained, were the ones that Contractor Bowling had mistaken for water conduits.

ARM ED SPEED BOATS NEWEST
 GERMAN MOVE
Torpedo Carriers Report ed Capable of Making
 60 Knots an Hour

LONDON, May l8.-Armed speed boats, capable of attacking war ships, is said by foreign naval ex- perts to be the Reich's hope for protection of her coast.
 Confronted with the necessity of devising some sort of defensive naval weapon, both cheap and ef- fective, German inventors busted themselves with the result that the speedboats, which can show their sterns at 50 knots an hour, carry four torpedoes and each requiring only crew of five men, have been built.
 Experts claim 450 of these speed boats have been constructed and 1t IS believed that they are capable of approaching great battleships which will cause commanders no end of worry and possibly send the giant craft to the sea bottom.
 Details are guarded but the craft are said to be strictly for defense.
 Experts said another naval de- velopment along similar lines is boat which is twice the size of the speed craft with a five-man crew having cruising radius of nearly 2,OO0 miles.

SOCIAL SECURITY PROGRAM HEADS SENATE DOCKET 
Finance Committee Alp proves Measure With
 out Record Vote

WASHINGTON, May 18.-Presi- dent Roosevelts Social Security pro- gram took it's place in the high pile of Administration m asures $ awaiting action in the Senate to- day.
 The Senate Finance Committee has approved the bill without a record vote.
 Administration leaders are confi- dent it will get through the Sem ate without major changes al- though they foresaw a long debate.
 The most threatening substitute proposal is the plan to require com- panies to set up unemployment and old age pension reserves instead of creating governmental funds. This amendment was defeated in the committee by a close vote, it is said.
 The measure is pressed also from other directions. The minority of the committee is preparing re- port urging elimination of the pro- posed old age pension and unem- ployment insurance system entire ly.
 Senate liberals are prepared to demand expansion of both pro- grams.

LETTERS CONTINUE POUR
 IN TO JUNEAU
Volume of Business at Post Office Doubled Post-
 master Reports

Dime" letters continue to come into Juneau in large quantities and the postoffice is deluged not only with outside mail but with local letters There appears to be several chains confined to Juneau. Post master Albert Vile said the Dime letter craze had virtually doubled the volume of mail here. Denver still appears to be the leading point, more Denver mail being handled through the local postoffice than usually comes or goes to that city from Juneau in a year.
 Postmaster Vile is no exception to the Juneauites receiving letters, he having already gotten l2. Fed eral and Territorial officers are swamped with them and C. w. Carter of the Carter Mortuary re- pots receiving a chain letter from a man he had not heard from in 40 years.
 Juneau is answering them, too, postoffice mail indicates. One Ju- neau man is reported to have re- ceived SIT to date.

Because he hadn't delved into early Juneau history, E. J. Bowling, president of the Gastineau Con- struction Company, spent few minutes of worry early this week.
 Bowling, whose company is dig ging up Main Street preparatory to paving, had been warned that his gasoline shovel crew must watch for Juneau Water Company pipes, laid about two feet below the road surface. Imagine his chagrin, then, when the heavy scoop shovel tore into pipe, buried only some six inchesl
 Bowling rushed to the First Na- tional Bank, where he found John Beck, manager of the water com pany.
 History Told
 Say, I thought you said your pipes were buried two feet under the road" Bowling said Now, care- ful as my workmen have been, they've scooped up pipe scarcely

ARB|TR ATION
 TURNED DO W N
 BY OPERATORS
Oil Men Claim There Is Nothing to Mediate
 Statement Made

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May l8. The Pacific Coast oil tanker op- orators flatly declined last night to consent to arbitration in the prolonged strike of the tank ship sailors through the new board ap- pointed by Secretary of Labor Perk- iifs.
 There is nothing to arbitrate, ' the operators declared ill a state ment to Mayor Angelo J. Rossi.
 San Francisco operators said the strike Is in reality over and con- tinues only in contentious of the unions that they have been de- nied collective bargaining. The op- orators said the men had collective bargaining within the terms of last summers agreements and abandon ed It themselves and resorted to a strike.
 We will not abandon the men who came to work with us in this crisis. We do not adopt the closed shop, therefore we cannot arbitrate these issues and there is no other genuine issue" said the operators.
 The statement was signed by Standard, Ass fat d, General, Richfield, and Union Oil companies and the Hillcone Steamship Com pany.
 Secretary Perkins appointed a new arbitration board last Thurs day of three members after an earlier mediation board had failed to solve the difficulties.
