BIC LEACUERS
OFFER CHANCE
TOPLAY HERE

Prospects for a first visit to El
Centre by a big league baseball
team next spring loomed on the
horizon today when Robert Hays
manager of the El Centre Chamber
OF Commerce. received a letter
from the office of the Chicago
White SoX, American League team,
asking about a playing date here.
The letter advised that the White
SoX will be returning east from
their training camp at Pasadena
after March %. and will be open
for exhibition games between that
date and March 81. There are nu-
merouS requests for exhibition
dates, the letter stated, but as Hays
wrote for a date last spring and
had to be turned down. the man
agement is giving El Centro a prior
chance this year.
A guarantee of $500 with the pri-
vilege of sharing in the gate and
grandstand profits is asked by the
club. A list of players who would
oppose the White Sox would have
to be furnished at this time, so it
may be submitted to Commissioner
Lands to avoid having the White
Sox play with any ineligibles or
outlaws"
That seems to be the catch in
the letter-furnishing a list of play
ers, as El Centro has no regula-
ton ball team at this time and
hard ball" has had rather tough
shedding here since the advent OF
the soft ball" game.
Hays plans to take up the matter
with Jack Stark of the Ell Centre
police department, a former profess
sional player, who has been active
in baseball circles here and recent
ly managed the Yuma Cubs into a
state championship. in the hope
that a team can be organized to
play with the White SoX.
II is believed that such a game
would draw we'll for there are many
hot baseball fans in the valley who
have never seen big leaguers in ac-
ton and plenty of others who have
not seen them perform in years.
The White Sox boast a number OF
stars in the lineup and are at pre-
sent in fourth place in the league
race with the prospect OF having a
much better team next year.

Soviets as backing down from the
vigorous stand taken in the pro-
test.
In view of the text and tone of
the Soviet reply, commentators here
believed that two of the most ac-
ceptable alternatives open TO the
administration. short of an actual
rupture Of relations, are:
l. Dispatch of another note to
Moscow setting forth more specifi-
cally the grounds upon which the
charges that the Soviet govern
ment had violated its pledges were
based.
2. Recall Of Ambassador Bullitt,

meeting. furnished evidence along
the same line. The cabinet vote
definitely against international pen
altieS against Italy-a point that
Britain has been urging, being un-
willing to act alone against Italy
but hoping for concerted pressure
by the powers.
The cabinet decided TO strive at
Geneva to "localize" the dispute in
Africa to avoid trouble in Europe.
The French are anxious TO avert
clash between Britain and Italy,
or a collapse of the League OF Ma
tions, which would mean a break
down of French continental policies.
Neither French or British appear
ed to have any hope of preventing
hcstilities in Ethiopia. The British
minister was understood to have
urged such Britons as can leave TO
get out of Ethiopia, although it
was denied here that Britons had
been ordered to leave within four
days.
There are approximately 1000
British subjects in Ethiopia, inelud-
ing African natives and East In
dians. OF the total, 1900 are in the
vicinity of Adds Ababa. There are
123 British missionaries.

expected the revolutionary ultra
short waves with which he has
been working to be an agent by
which he may alter the history of
military aviation as he did that of
world communication.
He said he believed the ultra
short waves would be powerful
enough to halt various types of
motors, including those of air
planes.
Hence, apparently, his work will
not even be limited to delicate
airplane motors but may be sus-
ceptible of use on others.
Marconi made his announce
ment to a group of newspapermen
just after disclosure that he had
volunteered for active service.
He intends to sail for Brazil on
September 10 to inaugurate a pow
erful short wave radio station at
Santos. He will return to Italy
about the end of September and
enroll in the army as a volunteer
in the engineering signal corps. To
do so he will renounce his pres
ent rank as captain in the navy.
Keeps Data Secret
Marconi refused to reveal the
exact nature of his experiments,
but admitted he hoped to perfect
some phases before he leaves for
Brazil. No definite announce
ment would be made, he said, un-
til he had obtained patents.
Those who heard the wireless
wizard got the impression that if
his experiments met with expected
success he would be able to para
lyze operations of fleets and air.
planes, halt automobiles, stop all
types of military mechanical units
and take warfare back to the foot
soldier and cavalry era.
There have been many reports,
in scientific circles of rays that
would halt airplanes. The one to-
day came as a calm assertion from
the man who at 25 instituted prac-
tical wireless transmission and
who won the 1906 Nobel prize in
physics.
From time to time, for the last
five years, there have been reports
of Marconi's experiments, hints
that he might make history in the
sixth decade of his life as he did in
his youth. He has spent nearly all
his time cruising about Italian
waters in his yacht Elettra which
contains one of the most remark
able scientific laboratories.
In the Elettra he has expert
mented year after year with the
ultra short waves. 1t has been re-
ported on apparently reliable au-
tority that he hoped micro and ul-
ira short waves might bring life
to mankind as well as death to
those who made war in the air.
One report was that he believed
the waves, applied somewhat in
the manner of X-rays, would
eliminate many operations and
make those which are necessary
less dangerous.
He has experimental also with
operation of ships and airplanes
as well as with paralysis OF their
motors.

New York Stocks

NEW YORK, Aug. %. U.P)-The
stock market moved erraticaly to-
day. Several selling waves brought
prices down in the early trading
but a recovery brought a majority
above the previous close.
Dealings lightened on the recov-
cry and were active enough on the
decline to cause tickers TO trail
the market several minutes. Trad
ers were still cautious.
It was significant that the re-
covery came at a time when Euro
pean business houses closed. Some
of it was repeatedly from London
and Paris. Investment trusts were
not selling, nor were they buying,
according to reports. The west
turned buyer after rather heavy
sales of automobile issues in the
preceding session.
A feature of today's market was
a firmer tone in the utility group.
Gains in utility preferred stocks
ranged to 3 points. The common
stocks. including the holding COM
pany issues, we're mixed with small
gains in Consolidated Gas and
North American and a small de-
cline in Public Service.
A statement by j. F. Fogarty,
president of North American, on
the utilities bill had some influ-
ence in the better tone in the gen.
eral utility list. Fogarty, an
nouncing declaration of the regu-
lar quarterly dividend on his COM
pany's stock, said:
I'VE still feel that common sense
and justice will prevail under the
constitution against this (utility

provision becomes operative, should

permit of its modification.
Rails Steady
Railroad issues were steadied by
outlook for another sharp rise in
car loadings for the week ended
last Saturday. Experts said the to-
tai would be around $4,000 cars
which would set a new high mark
since June Is.
War stocks met slightly better
demand when selling subsidized.

this money from the $4,0O0,O00.000
works relief fund.
Mr.. Roosevelt felt this probably
would be impossible.
The situation was canVaSSed thor
oughly with John r. McCarl,
comptroller general, and senate and
house leaders in a White House con-
ference yesterday.
McCarl still is studying the legal
technicalitieS of the matter, but
Mr.. RooSevelt'S remarks were
thought to indicate that while
funds for establishing an office and
skeleton personnel may be pro-
yided, little else will be possible
The third deficiency bill also
carried funds for other purposes,
but none as important as the Sc
curity program.
WASHINGTON, Aug. %. UD -
President Roosevelt is unable to
find funds to finance the social
security programs proposed bene-
fits to crippled children, depend
ent widows and the aged, he re-
vealed at a press conference today.
The bill appropriating money for
the program was killed Monday
night by Sen. Huey P. Longs five
hour filibuSter.
The President, with legislative
every avenue in the hope of find
ing a way out of the situation, but
he said the prospect seemed dis
couraging.
Mr.. Roosevelt does not believe
any benefit payments can be made
out of existing funds, although he
feels that the administration can
60 ahead and set up the necessary
machinery for projecting the pro-
gram once the money is obtained.
Between $66,000,000 and $72 100000
of social security money was tied
up as the result of Longs action on
the closing night Of congress.
Mr.. Roosevelt pointed to a wire
basket on his desk which was laden
with bills requiring action. He said
he planned to remain in Washing
ton until Saturday night and then
head for Hyde Park, N. Y, to spend
a month at the summer White
House.
Signed Gold Clause
He revealed that he signed the
gold clause bill last night; that to-
day or tomorrow he would approve
the neutrality resolution, and that
he was ready to sign the Guffey
coal bill.
The President described the neu-
trality resolution as entirely salts
factory except that it does not in
clude any power to control finan-
cial aid to belligerents. The pro-
jected embargo on shipment OF
munitions to belligerentS meets the
need of existing situations, he eX-
planned. What more can anyone
ask?" he observed.
Furthermore, he pointed out that
by the time the situation changes
congress will again be back in ses-
sion.
Asked about his impending trip
to the west coast. he said that
while no definite dates had been
fixed he hoped to go there toward
the end of September. Thus far
only two stops have been arranged,
at Boulder Dam and the San Die
go, Calf, exposition.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he hoped to
return home by way of the Pana-
ma canal. He probably will make
that trip on a fast navy cruiser.

organized under the auspices of
the League of Nations Association
to make the United States a full
fledged member of the League
Immediately after the presidential
election of 1895.
The Washington times., 1935-01-15

Nevertheless and notwithstand-
ing this oft-repeated mandate
against American membership in
the League or any of its branches,
a group of Senators, following a
long White House conference,
have announced their determine
tion to put the United States
in the League Court at this ses-
sion of Congress.
Leaders of Group
Leading this group are Senator
Robinson of Arkansas and Sena-
tor Pittman, of Nevada, the one
the majority leader of the Sen
ate and the other chairman of
the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions. Both of these Senators
did their best to take the United
States into the League through
its front-door entrance when the
League covenant and the Treaty
of Versailles, tied together, came
before the Senate in 1919 and
1920. They are veterans among
the pro-Leaguers.
One of their chief lieutenants
in this new drive for League en-
tanglement by means OF member
ship in the League Court is Sena-
tor Connolly, of Texas, who has
just been reelected. The fact
that Mr.. Connolly intended to
break with Vice President Gar
ner on this issue and lead the
fight for American membership
in the League Court was far from
being the main issue in Mr.. Con-
nolly's recent successful cam
paign.
In fact, his prominence in this
movement probably will come as a
surprise to many of his fellow
Texans who supported him for re-
election in the belief that he
would not break with Vice Presi.

International News Service

T International News Service
The 12.year-old fight over Ameri-
can adherence to the League OF
Nations World" Court was re-
Tived in the Senate today with Eu.
Eope's defaulted debts to the
United States figuring prominently
In the opening clash of debate.
Hardly had Senator Joe T.
Robinson, of Arkansas opened the
battle with a speech advocating
adherence, than the blind Sena-
tor from Oklahoma, Thomas p.
Gore, countered with a reserva-
ton that stipulated adherence
would not become effective until
the debtors now in default, who
are the backbone of the court,
settle their Indebtedness to the
United States Treasury.
Senator Cores reservation read:
provided, that adherence to
the said protocols and statute
shall not become or remain ef
fective and shall not be or be-
come binding while or when any
nation, which is an adherent of
said protocols and which is in
debted to the Government of
the United States, shall be in ar
rears for a period Of more than
six months in respect Of any
payment due upon such indebted
ness"
senator Robinson declared
Amerca's proposed conditions of
adherence would protect Amer
lean interests against any invol-
ment n international entangle-
ments. He said the United States
must JON the court if the trl-
bunal is to succeed in its aims.
Raps "SpOnging"
The Democratic leader, how.
ever, admitted that the United
States could now use the court in
any dispute, without actually
joining it. He called this the
"sponger argument" against
American adherence and charged
1t would put the United States in
the position Of a parasitical de-
pendent
Senator Robinson professed all
American interests were pro-
tected under the pending resolu-
tion of adherence. He called at
tention to the insertion of the
second part of the old fifth res
ervation, prohibiting the Court
from rendering any advisory opin-
ion on any subject "in which the
United States has or claims an
interest"
Argument Anticipated
Mr.. Robinson anticipated one
Of the major arguments against
joining the Court, saying:
"The assertion has been made
that since the United States
may now avail itself of the
Courts procedure without be-
coming a member, it is unnec-
esSary for the United States to
adhere to the protocol. 1t is
said that we are now entitled
to take cases before the Court
and there is nothing further
for us to gain.
ut is fact that, under
Article IS Of the statute, this
Government is given the right
to avail itself of the services
Of the Court and in this sense
We shall secure no greater right
by adhering to the protocol and
statute of the Court.
"This contention merits desig-
nation as the 'spOnger argu.
ment.' 1t is within our power
to retain the prerogative of a
spOnger, but who desires that
the United States shall be
parasitical dependent?
