 Experts seeking to guide Ethiopian military fortunes admit that they fear the Italians, The "softening up process" is beginning to tell on Ethiopian morale, they say.
 Warriors in the Gorrahet area, at- ter weeks of constant areial bom- bardment and absence of news of what is happening except in their immediate neighborhood lack proper food, communications and medical supplies. They are beginning to crack under the strain, rendering 1t questionable whether they will be able to wage efficient guerrilla war fare, upon which the authorities have been depending for defense of Ogaden province during the initial stages of the invasion.
 Italy Is Buying Oil
 Dallas, Tex, Nov. 8-(UP)--Agents representing the Italian government are attempting to purchase 5,000,0 900 barrels of east Texas crude oil but the deal has been delayed due to Q dispute over price.
 The president of an independent oil company here disclosed the ne- gotiations. He ridiculed the report that the proposed contract which would aid Italy in its military pro- gram was for 5o,0oo,000 barrels as reported,
 "Someone got that idea out of his hat" the executive said. Tt would take several major companies com- bined to furnish that much East Texas oil, even in several years, un- der present Texas operation rules"
 The informant's company has sold several large consignments of oil to an agent who shipped the crude to Italy, he said. Another concern, he said, has sold 500,000 barrels of Mir ando field crude through an agent and this is being loaded into six ships at Corpus Christi for trans port to Italy.

 London, Nov. 8-(UP)-The troops of Halle Selassie Gugsa,. Ethiopian ras who deserted to Italy, have been ordered to hold Makale which the Italian army captured today. accord- ing to the Exchange Telegraph cor- respondent with Italy's northern army.
 The Italian advance has been or- dered to continue southward towards the Kalamino plain and has occu- pied the villages of Emda Selassie and Shafat. about 12 miles south of Makale, the correspondent reported.
 The first army corps column left Makale penetrating 20 miles down a caravan route and occupying hill tops along the way, dominating en- emy positions, the reports said. They also indicated that Ethiopian forces did not plan to offer any resistance north of Amba Alagai, next Italian objective, but were concentrating south of that point.
