By ROBERT F. sCHILDBACH

VIENNA, Dec. 3.-Ernst Karl Win ter, Vice. -Burgomaster of Vienna and fearless commentator on political matters, embarrassed the Federal government by writing publicly that the Italian adventure in Ethiopia is highly unpopular in Austria
 This frank expression was so crit ical of an authoritary regime which has allied itself closely with Italy that police promptly confiscated the little magazine in which Winter had aired his view.
 Winter was appointed to his post by the late Chancellor Dollfuss, who old him to bring about reconcilia- ion between former Socialist work ITS and the Government. He has been attempting to pacify the socialists put his political independence fre- Iuently has caused uneasiness at the ,hancellery.
 "T'he Ethiopian policy of Italy Winter wrote, has created a wide gap between England and Italy, which shows that despite Stresa, the rational element in Italian fascism s still prevalent.
 Italian fascism, for the sake of a colonial adventure behind which the prestige of a single person stands, ioes not hesitate to put the peace )f Europe at stake.
 Says Duce Ignores History
 After due consideration of all po- itical, military and economic as- oects, the Italian adventure must be 'egarded as absurd. Mussolini today, takes the same attitude toward Ethi- )pia which England took toward the Transvaal, or France towards Mo- rocco, without, however, remember ing that half century has gone by and that many thing has happened in the meantime.
 Its a dangerous play which Il Duce' has made and it may end in catastrophe. for his regime if his plans fail to be realized"

Plans of the state department of motor vehicles to begin inspections here once more the first of the year were apparently changed today. The inspection lane which was in opera tion here on Freight street for Sev- eral months as thousands of local motorists had their cars checked in accordance with recently enacted state law was diSmantled this morn ing and s.ored in the city yards.
 It is understood that when the lane Is re-opened here it will be in a different location. When the site for the lane was chosen at the be- ginning of the inspection period it was with the understanding that a more suitable place would be select ed later on.
 Objections to the Freight street location have been made because it constitutes 8 traff1c hazard. Motor iSts point out that one half of the street is paved with cobblestones and that drivers naturally swing their cars to the smooth side, cre- ating a danger point where cars are swinging around the lane.
 When the lane was opened, state officicls said that eventually per- manent station would be built here with money derived from the % cent charge levied on each motorist

ARMY PLANES TO
 BOMB VOLCANO

Honolulu, T. H., Dec. 26-(UP)-- Laden with 30 tons of high explo- sives, army bombing planes will take the air tomorrow for an unpre- cedented joust with the fire pits of Mauna Loa volcano.
 They will try to check the flow of fiery lava, gradually advancing upon the headwaters of the Wailuku riv- CT, the city of Hilo's main source of water su. ply.
 The planes will sweep low over the lava streams, attempting to sight openings through which the TESS is erupting from the earth and divert them by scoring direct hits with aerial bombs.
 Some of the lava tubes run from the yolcano's fire pits, far beneath the earth and emerge to the surface. Others disappear in underground caverns beneath the sea.
 Authorities emphasized that the bombing would be purely experi- mental. No emergency exists at present.

receive some of the advantages previously available only at the State Prison in Wethersfleld."

 Educational Plans.
 Thus, it may be deduced, the dis 'criminating law breaker will no longer have to commit murder to further his education. Break win- dow, slip up on the alimony pay inent, or decorate city hall with red paint, and you acquire culture in the county jail at the expense of the government.
 Those wishing to take part of the comprehensive WPA training course will be allowed to choose three out of four elemental subjects such as reading and writingg and those further advanced from an educa- tional standpoint will be allowed to choose six out of 56 other subjects. { Purposes of the penal educational program are: to prepare the inmate for work following discharge; to enable inmates to put their leisure time to good use; to develop in in- mates Q critical self-appraisal; and to aim subtly at making the in- mate aware of the foolishness of malicious crime.
 What happens if the inmate re- ceives his discharge in the middle of semester is not made known. Presumably, the procedure is to go out and break another window.
