TRUCE IN SALEM
 ON PICKETINC

Salem, Mass, Aug. 2S-(UP)-- With a truce on picketing effective until 6 o'clock tonight, Mayor George J. Bates strove today to settle the North Shore coal truck drivers strike.
 An arbitration meeting was called by Bates at his city hall office for this morning. Represen- tatives of the state board of arbi- tgation and concllation, which failed yesterday to effect an agree ment, were not invited.
 "I want to work at 1t alone," Bates said.
 The truce was approved by Will liam N. Nealey, union business agent, after Bates announced that police protection would be with drawn from all but emergency" deliveries. The union said 1t would allow delivery today to the Salem gas works, where the need for fuel was described as acute.
 Further violence occurred yes terday, when one truck was de- stroyed by fire, another crippled and uprisings marked attempted deliveries at Peabody and Magno- lia.

 Germany Makes Move
 Germany made a move which may prove of incalculable import- ance. In a situation where Adolf Hitler has kept his mind sealed to the world, where Italy is holding maneuvers in which German" army that has invaded Italy across Austria Is being repelled, Germany protested to Austria against news paper attacks on Nazi events and personages.
 Authoritative Austrian sources told the United Press correspond ent in Vienna that the move con. stituted the first effort toward Austrian-G erman reapproachment, one of the big European questions and one which intimately concerns Italy.

 Bonds Are Called
 Bonds of $500, furnished by Peter Russell, were declared for. feited when Mary Bruno, 30, Of Jersey City failed to appear to an- swer 0 charge of residing in the house at Vine street which was raided by police August 3. It was reported after court that attorneys had located the girl in Buffalo and that Q request to have the case re- opened would be made tomorrow
 Frequenters Paid
 Four men arrested as frequent CTS when police made the raid paid $5 each to have their cases nolled. They were John Juikis, 23, of 46 Lafayette street; John Mac kis, 26, of 32 South Riverside street; Bronis Macalis, 23, of 159 Washington avenue; and George Akoury, 52, GIT Meriden road.

 Patrolmen Fred Hickey and Patrick Moylan of the vice squad, who took part in the Vine street raid. testified for the state in court today. They stated that 1t was the third time that the same prem- ises had been raided by them, and that they had received many com. plaints from neighbors about the place.
 While the victims of the raid were arraigned, Patrolmen Hickey and Moylan arrested Amelia Mussa on & mittimus. The woman was arrester in a raid last spring and ordered to pay $50 and costs.

 world communication He said he believed the ultra short waves would be powerful enough to halt various types of motors, including those of airplanes. Hence, appar- ently, his work will not even be limited to delicate airplane motors but may be susceptible of use on others. Marconi made his an- nouncement to . group of newspa. per men just after disclosure that he had volunteered for active ser- vice. He intends to sail for Brazil In the liner Augustus September 10 to inaugurate a powerful short wave radio station at Santos.
 Returns i'm September
 He will return to Italy about the end of September--at the time when the Italian-Ethiopian war is expected to start--and enroll in the army as a volunteer in the en- gineering signal corps. TO do so he will renounce his present rank as captain in the navy.
 Marconi refused bluntly to reveal the exact nature of his experiments but admitted he hoped to perfect some phases before he leaves for Brazil. No definite announcement would be made, he said, until he had obtained patents. Those who heard the wireless wizard got the impression that if his experiments met with the expected success he would be able to paralyze opera tions of fleets and airplanes. halt automobiles, bring to a halt all types of military mechanical units and take warfare back to the foot soldier and cavalry era.
 Many Such Reports
 There have been many reports. in scientific circles of rays that would halt airplanes. The one toe day came as a calm assertion from the man who at 25 instituted prac. tical wireless transgAissi0n - be. tween France and England--on which such men as Heinrich Hertz and Oliver Lodge had worked--

JAMES A. MOFFETT
 HAS RESIGNED

Washington, Aug. 2s.-(UP)- President Roosevelt today accepted the resignation of James A. Moffett as federal housing administrator, effective Sept. 1. The resignation and its acceptance, long expected, was revealed in an exchange of correspondence between MT. Roose- welt and Moffett. The administra- tor asked several months ago to be released from his duties. Mir. Roosevelt was expected to appoint Stuart Macdonald of Missouri, now acting administrator, to succeed Moffett.
 Moffett wrote that he had advis- ed MT. Roosevelt last March that he wanted to resign as soon as he feltt he federal housing adminis- tration was in successful operation. Such is the case today, am con- vinced, and. inasmuch as my per- sonal affairs require my undivided attention, I beg you now to accept my resignation and permit me to return to private business" he wrote.

 With Italian Army.
 With Italian Army, Bolzano, Aug. 28-(UP)-In Benito Mussolinps completely motorized and mechan- ized "Trento" division, crack unit of the army in the present ma- neuvers, not man sets foot to the ground until the point of com bat has been reached.
 There are two regiments of in- fantry, transported 25 men to a truck; one regiment of motorized artillery; one battalion of two.man tanks and company of machine gunners on motorcycles.
 But there Is one concession to old time warfare--steel shields for the infantry men. The shield is a small square piece of light armor with wire supports so that when a soldier reaches the firing line he can set 1t up in front of him as he lies on the ground to fire.
 France Sticks to Italy.
 Paris, Aug. 2S - (UP) - T h e French cabinet, in a three-hour session today, was understood to have approved a firm French stand at Geneva against international penalties against Italy.
 The cabinet was abandoned hope of seeing the conflict in Africa settled without war, but was in- creasingly opti m istic on the chances of localizing 1t, avoiding a breakdown of the League of Ma tions and of Frances policy on the continent.
 Paris was hopeful that the ten- sion between Italy and Britain would be settled as a result of the Italian decision to present Italy's case to the League Council next Wednesday.
 Success of the League machin- cry depended, however, on an a. greement by Italy to suspend mili- tary action pending a League de- cision. If Italy refuses, the situ- ation Is hopeless.
 No Plane Shot Down.
 Rome. Aug. 2S-(UP)-The for eign office today denied officially reports published abroad that an Italian airplane had been shot down in Ethiapia.
 Such an incident, 1t was added, was impossible--presumably be- cause the present situation is. one in which an Italian plane was un- likely to fly over Ethiopia.
 Aviation Director Sails.
 Rome, Aug. 2S--(UP)-- Gen. Mario Ajmon.Cat, director of the War School of Aviation, sailed secretly for East Africa on the Saturnia last Saturday from Naples to assume a high command in the expeditionary force, 1t was learned today.
 It was reported that Gen. Giu- scope Valle, under-secretary for aviation, would leave soon to su- pervise operations.

 All the conferences pointed toe ward the league meeting, and on the council meeting and the as- sembly depends except for in- dividual acts of the greater powers - not only European peace but the life of the league which Is regarded by it's small nation members as their sole hope against aggression.
 Of all the nations in the league only two have announced their po- sition finally. New Zealand has said that 1t will be with Britain. its mother country, whatever may portend; the United Press was in- formed bluntly in Athens yesterday that if there is an Italian British clash Greece will side with Britain.
 The great powers, including Rus. sia and excluding resigned Ger many, have permanent seats on the league council. Denmark this year represents the Scandinavian Finnish group of Baltic nations; Czechoslovakia the little entente, Turkey the Balkan entente.
 France Is Peacemaker
 It was understood that Premier Pierre Laval of France was trying once more, before the council met. to get a measure of agreement be- tween Britain and Italy; but that meantime he would tell the minis- terial council that he was opposed to any drastic penalties against Italy.
 Preparations for war continued brisk while statesmen groped for a way out.
 After strengthening its garrison at Malta naval base in the Medl- terranean and providing means for combating air raids, the British government forbade any foreigner to land on the island without a special landing card from the police.
 British Bankers Advise
 Financial writers here asserted that all British banks were asking their Italian customers not to seek to use credits which had been made available to them.
 Sweden announced plans to or ganize and strengthen its defense against an enemy invading from the south. Germany Is on the south. Air bases are to be strengthened and the army to be reorganized. The biggest maneuv.. CTS in recent years will be held this fall in the southern province of Scania a sham battle to repel an invader from the south.
