NEXT BATTLE TO
 BE MOST DECISIVE
Continued from Page l.)

OOutAkkuCU A1OA1 GdbG 4sS
 ian offensive program has fallen. That was 2 Ia months ago and it will take Marshal Pietro Badoglio another month or two months to prepare for this battle of Amha Ala gi, which is likely to be decisive. The sacred road" before the Italians is Q terribly diflcult one. Waves of rugged hills face them, every one an obstacle. on the way to the high, precipitous AInba Alagi, good place for defense.
 Significant Factors
 Aside from the disclosure of the distance which the Italian machine has fallen behind its schedule there are other factors of significance in the victory. One is the admission that the troops of Ras Mulu Getta, the big Ethiopian commander in the north, apparently got away in good order. It is indicated that there is plenty of fight in them still. News of the rains which hampered the Italians in their advance is significant too. It seems to have taken trucks around 12 hours to get from Adigrat. the base, to Makale. That is 68 miles. When I was last at Malxale it took us ii hours to get there by motor car. Since then the Italians have been working on the road for 2 Ia months-and the schedule now is an hour longer. It is indicated that the heavier rains to come will be serious business.
 Victory Is Important
 There is no doubt that the vic- tory at Amba AradaHn was an im- portant one to the Italians. Bado- Rlio used two of his crack divisions of regulars-Sila and Sabauda--and a crack fascist militia division, March g. Badogllo undoubtedly put most of his eggs in one basket, and he used his white Italian troops instead of natives. The fighting must have been bitter. There were sufiicient admitted Italian casual ties to show that the Philippians, with their inferior equipment. fought fiercely. believe that Mar shal BadogIio will move slowly be- fore he orders the attack on Amba Alagi. If it has taken him this long to make ready the attack. 1t ought to take him a long time to get his line of communication working to the new front and get up his sup plies and munitions.

 Prisoners Revolt
 Shortly after the Cartagena re- bellion was quelled, word was re- ceived from Valencia that 734 pri- soners in San Miguel De Los Reyes jail had mutinied and set fire to the buildings.
 The rebel prisoners in Cartagena, mostly political offenders, were in- duced to surrender by ruse. The of1icer in charge of the guard asked the former members of the Catalan government who are serving life sentences for participation in the 1884 revolt to put themselves at the head of the guard, so that the pri- soners would not fire on them with revolvers taken from the warders.
 The former government members persuaded the men to lay down their arms and all were then searched by the guards.
 General Lopez Pinto, in charge, pleaded with the prisoners for pa- willingness to wait for parliament to vote amnesty inspired the revolt.
 Fire penetrated the jail and got the fire under control after several sections of wall had collapsed.
 In the Valencia prison riat, sev- eral were reported wounded on both sides when the prisoners seized the armory and captured their warders.

 The sleet which fell last night formed a thin sheet of ice on the highways. Busses within the city were forced to disregard schedules and run as best as they could. 1n- ter-city busses of the New England Transportation company and the Short Line were also forced to run behind schedule. On the Cheshire road last evening about 100 cars, including a couple of busses, were stalled for a long time, unable to climb the ice covered, hilly high ways.
 Slippery Everywhere
 This morning sidewalks were very slippery and so were the highways. Cars were forced to proceed at snail's pace. Pedestrians found go- ing very difficult. The police were active in making the property own- CTS saind their walks.
 The temperature yesterday and today was the highest since January 18th. The thaw was considerable throughout yesterday and today.
 The weatherman predicted con- tinued warm weather for tomorrow with a possibility of rain.
 Property owners along the Naug- atuck and Mad rivers were watch ing the two streams today. While the rivers were not up very much today it is expected that they will be considerably swollen by tomor- row as the thaw up the valley cons tinues to pour thousands and thou sands of gallons of surface water into the streams.
 Superintendent of Streets Thom- as J Fleming had men on the job yesterday clearing away flooded areas and the men were kept at this same task today.

aI7e. which President Roosevelt vetoed last week. He said:
 s1Gr. President, you know the history of this O'Connor bill. Its purpose was to tap the United states treasury of approximately se6S,0 for the henefit of the Inter- national Manufacturers Sales Cor poration of America, of which Mir. A. S. PotkinoR is the trustee.
 '.Tf I use the word tap you will pardon me, because the plain. blunt word which should be used is asso- ciated with stealing"
 Admitting this to be c dangerous Statement, the priest said the cor- poEation had sold shoes and cloth ing to Russia before 1919 and. after the Kerensky government fell and the Soviets had repudiated its claims, 1t presented Q claim to the United States government.
 Truth About Shoes
 sTt was asserted in the presenta- ton of this bill that the corpora ton would not have shipped the goods except that it had been in- vited to do so by the United States war board" the priest said.
 'But upon investigation, MT. Pres ident. the truth of this horrid mis- representation showed that the shoes had been delivered in Russia two months before the war board was even established.
 'Mr. President. close scrutiny showed that the bill was a palpable fraud and treasury steal, in which your appointee, John J. O'Connor- the same John J. O'Connor who ob- structed financial redress to the American farmers, (the Frazier Leake bill, Ed.,) thought it not be- neath his dignity to obtain financial redress for foreigner in Q fraudu- lent case"
 Tn Washington, O'Connor explod- a. He said he had sent Coughlin telegram daring him to print what he said and guaranteeing that if he would come to Washington and re- peat 1t face to face I'd kick him from the capitol to the White House. with his clerical robes and aA the silver he made speculating in Wall Street."
 Disgrace to My Church"
 Continuing. O'Connor said:
 1es been a disgrace to my church and a libelous intruder in politics since coming to this com- try from Canada Q few years ago. I'm not even sure he's a citizen"
 O'Connor said he had had steno. graphic reports made of Coughlin's speeches.
 'I think there should be a law providing that everything said over the radio be taken down officially to stop these fellows saying what they wouldn't dare print" he said.
 Referring to house bill 4l78. he said:
 'aThe bill was existent long before I came to congress. had been passed in the sepate and everybody seemed to think it should be passed to cor rect an injustice to some poor fel- low never even talked to.
 'T introduced it as a matter or form and have forgotten just how 1t came to me. never knew just what it was about. but it had been approved by the state department and seemed all right.
 a'The president probably was wise fin vetoing it in view of the gold clause question. There was some idea it might open up the gold clause cases and I certainly wouldn't want to do that. so approve the veto, but lots of people think it's an injustice"

Hauptmann undoubtedly was acute ly aware of the fact that the re- prieve Hoffman gave him Jan. 15, two days before he was to have died expired at midnight yesterday. He knew, too, that Trenchard, even though ill abed, would sign an- other order of execution today. And he also knew that the order could not give him more than eight weeks to live, probably would allow him only five weeks, and that Hoffman had said executive clemency would not again be granted.
 Leibowitz announced that he would return to the death house "early this week" to take advantage of the psychology of the moment.
 Hauptmann will not be present when he is resentenced and will not know about it until he is told by prison authorities. He will remain in his cell in death row in the state penitentiary today as usual.
 No Sentence Today
 Trenton, N. J.. Feb. i7--(UP) - The attorney generals office indi- cated today that 1t would not ask for a resentencing of Bruno Richs ard Hauptmann before tomorrow.

MODEL FARM PROPOSED
FUR DAMS|IE AREA

Grand Coulee Dam, Jan. T.
Construction and maintenance of a
lnouel larm" near the damsite to
demonstrate and advertise the a
mazingly bountiful crops that can
be grown on Columbia Basin sol
with tue aid of little water
the biggest and perhaps best pub
icity stunt yet hit upon-is being
planned here
A. A. ElmoTe, local realtor, is
the sponsor of the idea and reports
that in discussion with state Of
ficials, such as E.. F. Banker, head
of the department of conversion,
James Ford, secretary OF the 500
kane chamber of commerce. Con
gresham knute Hill, Rufus,
| Woods, Juan HargTove, electrical
engineer, James O'Sullivan and 9TH
ers, he was given enthusiastic back
| ing.
Gets Into Action
To work out estimates of the
"model farm" to obtain funds and
to handle other problems that will
arise, paul Bunyan's Blue Ok"
club has been organized. Anyone
may join free. Gilmore is president
Ralph Kugelman, contact man for
the Columbia Basin commission,
secretary and on the executive
board, in addition to these two men
are, I. E. Evans, Grant coutny COM
missioner, Robert Mummey, electri-
cal engineer, Joseph Wicks, attorn-
ey and Ivan Abner, shovel runner
The plan is to pick tract of
suitable size, possibly five acres,
build on it a model electric home,
model barn and other farm build
ings necessary. and raise crops of
various kinds to show what the
soil will do. Under the proposal
corn, barley, alfalfa and many crop
would be planted. The farm would
be model one in every way.
Manifold Benefits
A six-fold benefit is expected to
be derived from the venture, Elm
ore pointed out:
l. 1t would help sell tourists on
the dam and it's advantaCos. HAY
ing seen what the Columbia basin
with irrigation can accomplish, I,
tourists could be induced to write
to their senators and congressman
in their home states in the middle |
west and back east asking them to |
vote for the project il any issue |
pertaining to the project came to
a vote in Washington, D. c.
2. The. farm would show by act 4
ual demonstration why the dam is
being built, what the soil will
raise, how things will grow on ap-
parentiy arid land, how chesply |.

rops could be produced.

crops could be produced. -
3. Local people building the dam
here, who know simply may view
the work as a means of getting a
pay check each week, would be
furnished enjoyment in that they
could see what their work would
make possible some day.
Would Settle Land
4. Prospective farmers. in t h e
form of tourists, could see what
the land would do. thus settlement
later in the basin would be speed
ed.
s. The use of cheap electrical
energy on the farm and in the
home, removing drudgery would
be graphically illustrated.
s. The additional attraction here
would delay number of tourists
III the townsites overnight, thereby
bringing q monetary benefit to
local merchants.
To Solicit Help
At present the model farm idea
lis still iii formative stage. The
club viii meet again this week and
start on the task OF making esti-
mates. The question of how to
raise money will be discussed. AT
present it is contemplated asking
for donations, such as cement from
|tement companies, power from
power companies, lumber from
lumber firms, electrical appliances
from manufacturers, etc.
James Ford OF h e Spokane
chamber of commerce mas promised
to journey to the State college OF
Washington, to try to get the col
llege agricultural division to super
wise the farm. Congressman Hill
has promised to try to obtain help
from Washington as soon as de-
tails are worked out far enough.
