Wallace Says Bread Price Rising;
Will Call On Bakers For Explanation

of flour to have advanced only
one-third of a cent a pound over
last year, the secretary continued.
Yeast, salt and malt prices are
the same, he said. Sugar has risen
only one-hundredth of a cent, and
shortening 13-hundredths of a
cent. The total increased cost of
ingredients is only 52-hundredths
of a cent, he argued.
Washington bread prices now
are the highest in 10 or Is years,
he said.
Two years ago Wallace fought
a price increase by bakers. In
some cities it amounted to three
cents a loaf. The bakers claimed
the processing tax made it nee
essary, but the agriculture de-
partment claimed the tax added
only one-half a cent to their
costs. ,
At that time Wallace recalled
that in 1881, when prices were
falling, bakers sought to prevent
a reduction in bread prices on the
ground that wheat prices were on

MEMPHIS, Oct. II. (UP)-The
United States will certainly be
drawn into war if we continue the
present policy of trading with bel

Sims predicted here last night.
Speaking before an audience of
100 persons here, the wartime
commander of the American fleet
declared "the absolute support of
every citizen of President Roose-

necessary if the United States

'It is my opinion that this ma
ton is morally bound to follow

United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

Adds ABABA, Oct. II.
(UP) Emperor Hail Selassie last
night ordered his cabinet members
to prepare to join him in the field
indicating his belief that the
time to strike against the invad-
ing Italians is near.
Every one of the ministers
even the graybearded foreign
minister Blaten Gheta Heruoy
and Minister of Justice Afenegus
Atnafe-is a warrior in his own
right with a feudal encourage
pledged to follow him into battle
and defend him to death.
The emperor himself will COM
mand the snappy, uniformed I'M
perial Guard of 5000 European
trained troops. Swedish, Turkish
and Belgian instructors at the
Ethiopian "West Point" have
shaped these warriors into COM
pact, disciplined regiments capa-
BILE of utilizing modern weapons
combined with traditional native
guerilla fighting.
The emperor indicated h e
would lead the Imperial Guard to
a field headquarters stragetlcally
located in relation to the main
Ethiopian push.
The emperor's military advisers
have informed him the Italians
are unable to advance much fur
Their in the north due to the rug
ged nature of the terrain and the
difficulty of maintaining com
munications. This, combined with
the stalemate in the south and
drift of large Ethiopian guerilla
troop concentrations toward Des-

DJIBOUTI, French Somaliand,
Oct II. (UP) - The Italian
forces advancing towards Jijapa
along the southern border of
British Somaliland have mounted
giant searchlights on mountain
tops to stop Ethiopian night. r;ld-
eds, travellers from Harar and
Diredawa said yesterday. ,
The searchlights were cstimat-
ed to be not more than Is or 100
miles from Jiiiga and would in
dictate that at least one Of the col
umns advancing from Italian
Somaliland toward the Dircdawa
railway junction has moved much
farther inland than had been re-
ported previously.
The lights also may mean that
the Italians plan to bomb Jiiiga
and Harar in night flying opera
tons which already have started.
The travellers said the search
lights were visible along the
motor highway between Harar
and Diredawa. Europeans who
climbed to the high point at.
Tcher-Tcher, an altitude Of TO-
900 feet, said the searchlights
threw a vast area of the Ogaden
plain into relief.
The general opinion of all per-
sons in the Harar-Diredawa zone
was that Italian air attacks on
this region will come very soon.
The French military guard AT
Diredawa has been ordered to
prepare bomb proof shelters for
all workers on the railways,
which is French controlled.
News from Diredawa confirm

French observers at Diredawa
thought a major battle may be
fought in Ogaden within week.

Ethiopian commander, now has

southeast of Jijiga. Heavy Ethio-

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. II. -
A scathing attack on what he
called the "Russocrats of Wash
ington" and their Economics of
scarcity" was delivered last night
by Henry Breckenridge, who serv-
ed as assistant secretary of war
in President Wilson's cabinet.
Speaking before a meeting of
the Sentinels of the Republic in
defense of the U. S. constitution,
Breckenridge bitterly assailed
''some few determined zealots"
who he said are "hostile and re-
lentless, and bent upon subversion
or destruction of the institutions
they are sworn by their oaths Of
office to defend"
He derided the "madcap gov
ernmental finance" and the ode
structive economics of political
Washington" and said that the
recovery of scarcity has showed
the forgotten man by the regi-
ment into the bread-line."
"Thc present regime Breckln-
ridge said, sis the first in all re-
corded history to 90 into partner
ship with drought to manufacture
famine and call it New Deal.
Breckenridge said that as a re-
suit of tampering with the constr,
tuition, the political, financial
and economic witch doctors OF
Washington" have retarded the
return of a large part, of the army
of the unemployed to profitable
and "self-respecting" jobs.
