NEW YORK, April 81 G.N.SJ.-
An important arrest" may be

The prediction came on the

Halle SeIassie Returns n
To Defend Adds Ababa

Adds ABABA, April q G.N.S0.
Emperor Halle Selassie returned
from the war front today to de-
fend his capital against Italian
hordes closing in from the north
in swift motorized columns.
The Emperor reached Adds
Ababa shortly before an italian
airplane boldly flying low over
the city's rooftops, dropped PAM
phlets warning the populace the
Italian armies were at hand.
Stating further resistance was
useless" and urging EthiopianS
to desert their Emperor, the pam
phlets said in Amharic:
"DO not oppose us, but con-
tinue to work and cultivate the
land. If you stand in our path
we will burn and destroy you"
UNITE THEIR FORCES
The Emperor kept his exact
whereabouts a secret, as he has
done continuously for several
weeks. International News Serv-
ice learned, however, that he
definitely had returned to the
capital. Crown Prince Asfaou
Wosan arrived here about a week
ago.
The imperial father and son
joined forces to defend the capital
against the Italians. The defense
probably will not be made in the
city proper, which is an open
town. It was possible the Ethio-
plan stand would be made after,
rather than before, the Italians
reach the capital.
The Emperor returned as a
speedy motorized column was re-
ported to have left DeSsye for the
capital, and as his southern front
forces, under the daring Turkish
leader, Gen. Wehib PaSha, en-
gagged the italian Somaliland army
in bloody conflict near SaSa
Baneh, rated among the fiercest
fighters of the war.
Four Planes Shot Down
In an official communique to-
day the Ethiopian government
claimed four Italian airplanes
were brought down by rifle fire
near Sasa Baneh, and that two
tanks were destroyed by special
anti-tank gunfire.
The communique alleged the
italian air force had rained ex-
plosive and incendiary bombs on
the "open" town of Goba, about
200 miles southeast of the capital.
If they attacked Goba the Ital-
ians have opened their drive upon
Adds Ababa on new front, many
miles west of the big southern ad-
vance. Goba is north of Noghelli,
capital of Boran Province, south
of the capital, which was cap
tured by the Italians several
months ago. It was conceivable
the Italians were planning to
march upon Adds Ababa from
due South, as well as from the
southeast, the north and north
west.

GARRY THE MESSAGE"
Following his suggestions for
action, the speaker recommended
methods of attack. He called on
every business man to, carry the
message" and urged that every
business association maintain q
committee on national legislation.
He declared:
"All American busineSs-right

senting the case of those lines
of business which have been sub
jected to unfair attack.
"The business association,
which today does not have q

tiOn, and does not see that such
q committee really acts to give
expression to the viewpoint of
its community or industry on
Federal matters, is doing q Seri-
