New York, N. Y. May % - 81 tell
you with confidence that the war is not
over" Colonel John c. Robinson, late of
the Ethiopian Air Force, declared tonight
before 1000 enthusiastic colored and white
sympathizers with the Ethiopian cause at
a mass meeting held at Rockland Palace
under the auspices of the United Aid for
Ethiopia Inc.
Dressed in anappy, olive drab uniform,
the goateed, brownskin aviator who was
given a spectacular reception upon his ar
rival from Europe here last Monday
gave graphic, factual account of his ex
periences lin Ethiopia, where he assured
Emperor Halle Selassie in May, 1885, Il
came not for salary, but to aid Ethio
pia."
Attesting to the fact that the Chi
cagoan made good, is the high esteem
in which he is held by the 'exiled' Empelo or,
the Ethiopian people and millions of ad
mirers In this and other countries -.
Realizing that the colonePs modesty would
prevent personal review of his exploits,
j. A, Rogers, historian journalist and on
ly Negro correspondent at the Ethiopian
front, privileged the audience with de-
tailed account of the intrepid flyers hair
breadth escapes from Italian bombing and
pursuit planes, of his daily, hazardous fly
ing over mountainous, uncharted regions to
speed dispatches and establish contacts
with the Emperor's armies altho convinced
that not one of Ethiopia's "a type planes
was suited for combat ....
In the course of his vivid discourse, Col.
Robinson, now called the Brown Condor"
related the handicaps under which the
Philippians were forced to fight. of aerial
attack on unfortified towns, of the native
Askari troops used as "shock absorber"
vanguard of the white Italian forces; of
Ras Gugsa's desertion, which at the begin

Ras Seymour made an effective strategic

overnight, dismantled IL Italian planes.

REAMS RETURNS
FROM PARLEY
Continued from Page /

N1O1lJillutu llOIll dSt| i
Chief Reams, commenting on the
conferences, expressed the opinion
that the Pacific coast meeting was
more valuable to fire fighters OF
the coastal region, largely because
it was attuned to the greater speed
and the coastal climatic conditions
Highlights of the trip, Reams SAID
were the San Francisco fire, an ex-
hibition by the San Francisco de-
partment drill team in salvage
work, hose laying and life saving,
a demonstration by the Minneapolis
department, a days visit to the
board of underwriters laboratories
in Chicago, and an outstanding
demonstration by the Chicago fire
department in use of water towers.
The Chicago department moved
a water tower half a mile through
traffic, connected it to five pump
ing machines and was spraying
water the distance of a city block
in three minutes and so seconds
from the start, Reams said. The
water was pumped at a rate of
$500 gallons a minute through. two
tWo-inch nozzles and one inch-and-
a-half nozzle. At the rate of $500
gallons a minute, the apparatus
would pump in the course of a
day twice the gallpnage used in a
day by the entire city of Ell Centro.

Chairman Ike Schlatter was au.

He did so by instructing the fore
man of the eounty's five road dis
triets to undertake the work of de-
molition, afterwards leaving the re
mains at a service station near
the site.
The boards unanimous vote came
while Secretary Robert Hays of
the El Centro chamber of commerce

in which to straighten out the con-
troyersy. He asked the supervisors

board reserves title to an 80-foot
right-of way bordering the prop
erty. The policy, Burney charged
is for the purpose of preventing
the power company from extend
ing its lines to farms acquired
from the district.
Burney left the meeting abrupt
ly, declaring he would ask for
the return of $4,000 deposited with
an Ell Centro title company as
payment fer the land. He hurled
the names, "pawnbrokers and un-
fair business men," at the district
board.
BY retaining an 80-foot right of
way along the edge of tax deed
property, President Hewes explain
ed later, the district does away
with its former policy of retaining
blanket easement to run canals,
bitches, telephone lines or power
lines over any part of ranch
by the district. The blanket ease
ment policy, he said, met with
considerable objection from title
companies, and it was at their
request that the district adopted
the simpler policy. There was no
thought of barring the power COM
pany from the property, Hewes
said, although the district cannot
be expected to grant the power
company any permits to cross such
rights ofWay.
The 80-foot strips, he added,
are not retained around the entire
portion of land sold, but merely a
long any border of the property
where the district may reasonably
expect in the future to have oc-
casion to place bitches telephone
lines or power lines.
