'COV. CROSS MAY STATE POSITION
Continued from Page l.,

Friday nights session is being arranged by the educational com mittee of the state organization. The purpose of the meeting, accord ing to advance reports, is to have the governor and other state of- ficials and party heads discuss gov- ernment politics.
 On previous occasions the educa- tional committee of the Young Democrats of Waterbury has had at its meetings here State Senators Francis w. Hogan of Torrington, Matthew A. Daly of New Haven and George A. Culhane of Water bury and State IVA Director Thomas Dodd of New Haven. Same Group Coming
 It is perhaps a coincidence, 1t is figured, that the state executive committee of the Young Democrats is now bringing to Waterbury this same group for its Friday night meeting along with Governor Cross and his executive secretary, Repre- sentative Philip Hewes of Avon. Others to appear on Friday nights program will be Senator H. Lawlor and State Chairman J. Francis Smith of Waterbury.
 Doubt was expressed today by many that efforts of the executive committee of the state Young Democrats to get Governor Gross to come out in the open as a cans didate for renominatoin and reelec- tion would prove successful if made at Friday evenings session. Gov. Cross is understood to be following the silent program he inaugurated at the Bridgeport gatherinug spon- sored by the state executive corl- mittee of the Young Democrats and will not make an announcement un- til early in the coming year.

a surprise guest in a half hour. She never came"
 Capt. Bert Wallis of the police homicide squad said he intended to question some of Mrs. Ford's guests.
 Another phase of the police in- quiry swung back to the trip Thelma made from the cafe Trocadero to her apartment above "Thelma Todd's Sidewalk Cafe,e four miles beyond Santa Monica on the road to Malibou Beach, a distance of about 12 miles.
 Ernest o. Peters, who drove Miss Todd was requestioned by police who asked him how he was able to make the trip and return to his his stand in Hollywood so quickly
 Miss Todd was afraid because he had been the target of an extortion plot" Peters answered. "She had told me to drive at top speed and not to make boulevard stops. On the way to her cafe I drove be- tween 65 and 70 miles an hour"
 Roland West, part owner of the Todd cafe and for some time her companion about Hollywood, told detectives he informed the actress before she went to the Trocadero party that he would lock the place at 2 8. m.
 Close To Garage
 West said he locked up at the scheduled time and retired to his apartment. His apartment is about 100 yards from the garage, in which Miss Todd kept the automobile in which her body was found.
 Police were unable to agree why the actress entered the garage. Of hcers reported the ignition key to the motor was turned on. The bat tery in the car was exhausted. De- tectives believed the motor ran for several hours before exhaustion of oxygen caused it to stop.
 Police last night interviewed Jewell Carmen, wife of West, who confirmed his statement that she owned the property on which the garage is located. Miss Carmen said she was motoring all day Sunday and learned of Miss Todd's death when she returned to Hollywood.
 read of it in the newspapers, ? officers quoted her as saying. Tt was terrible shock to me-"
 Things To Be Cleared Up
 Captain Wallis of the homicide sq lad, said he hoped the inquest would bring out a number of de- tails including why Miss Todd was unable to enter her cafe or apart ment, why it was necessary for her to make arrangements with West to let her in, and why she went into the garage.
 Pasquale Di Cicco, divorced hus- band of the actress, will not att tend the inquest or funeral. He is en route east by airplane to spend the holidays with his mother in New York.
 Di Cicco was willed $l by Miss Todd, according to A. Ronald But ton, the victims attorney. Bulk of the estate, which may reach $780, 900 in cash, securities, jewels and real estate, will go to her mother.
 Private funeral services will be held at the Wee Kir O the Heather, Forest Lawn Memorial cemetery, at 3:30 p. m. Thursday. Rev. Harold Proppe, of the Hollywood Baptist church will officiate. The body will be cremated.

dict that the council would not even reach a vote on them because of the strength of the opposition. After the brief morning meeting, Anthony Eden of Great Britain consulted Premier Pierre Laval of France and Salvador de Madriaga of Spain, chairman of the councils commit tee of five charged with seeking any avenue toward peace.
 Private Peace Talks
 After the meeting delegates be- gan their private talks on peace plans, including the possibility of a plan sponsored by the council itself. Any such plan would be drawn up by 8 special committee of the League council, replacing the French British proposals which not even the French and British spon- sor strongly now. A move for a concrete council plan would mean fight at once, on the questions CD to what extent the council propos- als should resemble the British French plan; and (2) whether the famous safety valve" of the cove nant should be utilized in event the council can not agree unanimously on peace recommendations.
 This safety valve provides that if the council can not unanimously approve recommendations, each League members regains its hber- ty of action.
 Retreat From Penalties
 It was apparent that the council meeting faced the possibility of the beginning of a retreat from the pe- nalties program-or alternatively that the meeting may be the start ing point for a finish fight against Italy. Observers inclined to the opinion that a middle course would be sought. This would gain time for statesmen to assess again the dangers of the crisis and to judge the likelihood of an acceptance by Premier Benito Mussolini of less generous terms than those offered by Great Britain and France.
 Important Gathering
 The importance of the meeting was made plain by the attendance of foreign ministers who decided to come in person. Besides Premier Pierre Laval of France, Joseph Beck of Poland, Nicholas Titulescu of Rumania, Tewfik Rushdi Aras of Turkey and Armindo Monteiro of Portugal were here.
 Anthony Eden, minister for League affairs, represented Britain.
 Italy was represented by Renato Bova-Scoppa, its permanent League delegate, and Luciano Mascia, of the Italian government press office.
 When Mussolini decides on his answer to the British-French pro- posals, he is expected to send Baron Aloisi here to talk directly to Laval and Eden.
 The council met privately at il a. m. 6 a. m. EST.) to consider the problem for which their meeting actually was called, weeks ago-the transfer of 25,000 Assyrians to Sy- ria from Irak.
 Members agreed to recess and re- convene at 5:30 p. m. (11:30 8. m. EST) to consider the Italian Ethiopian crisis.

Africa is a war of civilization, of liberation, a war of the people. The opposition to us is a front of hypoc- risy and egoism. We are engaged against this front and we shall con- tinue to the end. A nation of forty four millionS-not only of people but of souls-will not let itself be deluded or bluffed. There is feel- ing of unity among our people. This regime will go straight ahead. We do not want to do-nor can we do.-otherwise. It is a duty in which we all are engaged, from the small- est to the biggest. It is a test of the Italian people. We shall emerge victorious"
 Will Not Forget Day
 Few Italians ever will forget the day. And 1t was one in which Mus solini faced the imminent necessity for one of the most important de- cisions of his career-his attitude towards the French British propos- als for settling the Italian-Ethiop- ian war. The day was eloquent of the romance and ., color of Italy. Queen. Elena inaugurated the pro- gram by dropping into huge melt ing pot, on tripod before the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the gold wedding rings which she and Vic tor Emmanuel III have worn during 39 years of married life. Officials estimated that more than 4,O00, 900 women gave their rings.
 15,O00 People There
 Fifteen thousand people, mostly women, braved drenching intermit- tent showers to attend the main ceremony in the Piazza Venezie.
 The queen received an iron ring from one of F young fascist women bearing wooden boxes filled with iron rings.
 Each woman in the country who donated gold ring received for 1t an iron ring engraved:
 December IS, 1935-Gold to Fatherland."
 It was national holiday. Schools and public offices were closed and every street was gay with flags.
 It all led up to the meeting, at the usual dramatic hour of 10 p. m. (4 D. m. EST) of the fascist grand council, the supreme ruling body of the country.
 Mussolini was to report on the in- ternational situation and disclose his intentions . as regards the French British peace proposals.

 part of the Northeast Cape range. The entire northern coast was cover cred by dense fog which forced us to fly at an altitude of some five thousand feet where it was compar- atively clear. After flying. over these mountains, we saw the three islets which form the Uunuk island group at the eastern tip of the island. The course was set westward for Savoon ga, headquarters for the expedition. There was surprisingly little fog on the route overland from east to west. From the air the island look ed like the deserted valley of the moon. The immeasurable expanse of tundra, bleak and still, was dott- ed with myriad lakes and pools, broken now and then by frowning hills,
 Approaching Savoonga we flew over the craggy Kukulkit Mountains west of Aneegulgit (SnoWhave never-melted), a perpetual snow bank. As we flew over these ex- l tinct volcanoes whose slopes are scared with hardened lava, for, a breathless moment we glimpsed a sparkling blue crater top Savoon- ga was obscured by heavy fog. and the sea at this point was broken by angry breakers as seen through a few rifts in the fog. We continued west, crossing the cliffs near Kangee and passing over Mt. .Tapphook some 1,200 feet high.
 The remaining lap of our trip to Northeast Cape and Gambell Lake was over water. Forced lower and lower by the fog, we were soon fly ing as low as twenty feet Along the shore rocks loomed forbiddingly large and few microscopic hunt ing camps along the lagoons were plainly seen. As we neared our destination we flew over immense f1ocks of birds, feeding in the sea. At times these f1ocks were so thick as to form moving curtain be- tween us and the water.
 Some three hours after leaving Nome, an hour and half of which time was spent traversing the island we saw arising before us the bull wark of Northwest Cape Just around the corner. Gambell, largest village on St. Lawrence, flashed in- to view We peered eagerly, for this was our first sight of St. Law renee Island village. Two or three rows of box-like houses. greeted our eyes Minute figures poured from these houses while hundreds of dogs raced madly about. Circling twice we swooped down and came to rest on Gambell Lake at the back door, of the village.
