HAVIN' FUN.
LIE WAS just forlorn-looking old
- colored man standing on the
corner. His eyes were downcast,
seeming to be fascinated by ragged
holes in his shoes. He was bare
headed, but long, ragged overcoat
hung in lugubrious folds from his
scrawny shoulders. Yet the crowds
Of early Christmas shoppers stopped
and stared.
His one big attraction was police
whistle which he blew intermittently.
With each blast Of the whistle he
changed the flow of traffic at Thir-
teenth and r streets. Nobody seemed
to mind except one cab driver. who
blocked traffic on busy F street to
watch the waving hand Of the inno-
cent traffic director.

DOG AND TAIL TALE.

z yOU just can't keep the name
" of Buddy Fuss out Of the
wayside column.
Il Buddy, If you don't recall,
Is the 12-year-old son Of Carl r. Fuss
of Lyon Village. Va. who broke into
print about a month ago In connec-
ton with a snake story.
The latest episode in Buddy's rather
exciting life does not involve the
snake, but his tiny toy bull pup,
Butch. AS master of the dog he re-
luctantly assumes responsibility for
the misdeeds of the animal And
that's one reason he says his face
will turn red every time he sees his
music teacher.
It seems that Buddy was taking a
lesson the other day. Both he and
his teacher were engrossed in q rather
difficult etude. Buddy did not see
Butch when he jumped into nearby
chair and grabbed his teachers fur
neckpiece. Neither did the teacher.
But when the lesson was over, Bud
dy and the teacher discovered about
the same time that Butch had the
tail Of that fur piece in his mouth.
The remainder Of 1t was under the
piano stool.

TOKYO, Aug. 20 LN.S0-1ta'
liam propagandists seeking to in
volve Japan" and munitions max
ers hoping to induce Britain to
lift her arms export embargo were
the "sinister interests" blamed by
official spokesmen today for di'
rectly conflicting reports that (1)
Japan has struck a bargain giving
Italy free hand in Ethiopia. and
!(2) Ethiopia has arranged for a
half years supply Of arms from
Japan.
Eiji Amau, spokesman for the
foreign office, told International
News Service:
"Japan's attitude of watchful
waiting in the ItalO-EthiOpian
controversy has not changed"
japanese public sentiment is
definitely pro-Ethiopian, but re-
ports that the African kingdom is
receiving arms from Nippon have
all been denied, and this denial
was repeated with emphasis today.
It is also untrue, the spokesman
said, that Japan pledged a hands
off policy in return for Italian sup
port for Japanese naval equality
demands.

Trial in Ethiopia

Adds ABABA, Aug. 20 I.N.sO.
An Italian pilot, his plane shot
down over Ethiopian territory,
and a native observer were under
military arrest today as result Of
pre-war accommodating by three
Italian planes over Ogaden Prov.
ince.
Ethiopian authorities, seeking
to minimize the seriousness of the
affair, decided not to treat it as
a military invasion, but to try the
pilot and observer under immi'
grafton laws.
Carrying Ethiopian colorS, 1t
was learned, the three planes had
flown over Ogaden Province from
Italian Somaliland on several eX-

warriors were aroused, and they
opened fire, forcing the plane to
land. The pilot tried to set it afire,

EXiled BalbO Returns
TO Aid Italy "
GENERAL ITALO RALBO

Out Of exile today came black
bearded Gen. Italo Balbo, former
Italian air minister and leader Of
the air armada Of Italy which
flew to Chicago in 1888, to con-
fer with Premier Benito Musso-
lini as the war cry echoed through
Europe.
Now that Italy has alarmed Eu-
rope with its beuigerent stand
and is calling on its capable men
to aid the empire, Balbo has been
recalled from the exile to which
he went when his popularity be-
came too great after his flight.
It is reported that he may have
an important part in commanding
Italy's air force-the fighting arm
on which it relies.
General Balbo on June 80,
1898, led an air armada on a
flight across the Atlantic to an
anchorage in the waters Of Lake
Michigan and to the Chicago
Worlds Fair, for the glory Of
Italy.

The true policy Of Communists,

KING FISH GAG
BY SENATE
DOOMED
Robinson Proposal in
Snag; Rule Change
Held Unlikely
International News Service

The proposal to muzzle Senator
Huey Long by changing the Sen
ate rules to outlaw one-man fill
busters stirred q lot Of political
wrangling today, and indications
are it will be discarded.
It is conceded majority Of
Democratic and Republican Sena-
tors would give q lot to have
some kind Of gag rule that could
be used against the "Kingfish, :"
but they are not willing to sacri-
flee their right to filibuster just
to stop him.
Even the Young Turks" are
against the plan in spite Of the
fact that they led opposition to
Senator Longs filibuSters. They
contend that sometimes a fill
buster can be put to good use.
SchwelIenbach Opposed
Senator Schwellenbach (D0 OF
Washington, leader Of the Young
Turks, said:
"There should be some way
to prevent Senator Long from
taking advantage of the right
to filibuSter, as he most usually
does, but I would not be in ia
vOr Of any change Of the rules
that would take from any Sena-
tor this privilege.
"The privilege can be abused
but 1t can also be used to curb
unwarranted legislation. And
many times it is the only
weapon q Senator has left to
gain his objective"
The plan was proposed by Sen.
ator Robinson (D.) Of Arkansas,
majority leader, as he left for a
vacation. He did not go into de-
tail.
BOrah Scores CIOture
Senator Borah (R.) Of Idaho
Immediately opposed Mr.. Robin
sons plan. He said:
81 have been here 20 years
and have never taken part in
q filibuSter. I do not speak
therefore as one with a guilty
conscience. I am unalterably
opposed to clOture. 1t is like
Thomas Jefferson said about a
free press: a free press has
its evils but q controlled press
is infinitely worse
Free debate has its evils.
Controlled debate is intoler-
able. Controlled debate in
both Houses of Congress would
simply be a national disaster.
Free debate has killed many
. bad piece Of legislation and
saved millions Of dollars to
the taxpayers. Where ClOture
prevails, bad legislation pre-
vails."
Senator Borah pointed to {
filibuster by Senator Tyding'
(D0 of Maryland, which de
feated q bill providing for fiv'
hundred. million dollars for in
land waterway improvements
which he said was pure porl
