HARVARD, YALE BREAK
Is FIRST IN AZ YEARS

By United Press
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May T.
First break n Haryard's traditional
rivalry with Yale in AZ years was
revealed today when the Crimson's
1867 varsity boxing schedule
failed to include match with the
Ellis.
A disputed A draw in match
in New Haven during the spring

break which was characterized by
a Harvard spokesman as more of

Eight scraps are on the program,

VXTHAr happened to Lefty in the
w first place? And how did he
get over it? The chances are he
never had anything more serious
the matter with his arm than a
severely strained muscle; it struck
him late in his career and he be-
came panicky--so panicky that he
wouldn't extend himself for whole
year-the season Of 1934-for fear
he might aggravate the condition,
whatever It was.

Palomba
 OustedAs Chairman
Continued from Page D

made to make the retirement of At torney Palomba appear as a vol untary one. Yesterday noon Attor- ney Palomba stated he would re. fuse to withdraw in favor of anyone else. After last nights conference which preceded the town commit tee meeting he announced that il health forced him to refuse re- election.
 Not only did he relinquish his town chairmanship but he also re- trained from seeking reelection to the republican state central com mittee. One local leader today pre- dicted that the action of the Lar kin Conway machine in turning on Palomba at the last minute would cause widespread dissatisfaction in the ranks of the party organizaz- ton.
 Attorney Upson Elected
 At the town committee session Attorney J. Warren Upson was elect ed town chairman. The position previously had also been offered to Vernon Hall and Major John M. Burrall. This fact was disclosed in last nights Democrat.
 Major Burrall refused the chair manship and MT. Hall left the way open for Attorney Upson by accept ing the secretaryship. Francis T. Phillips, who was mentioned for the chairmanship month ago, accepted the office of treasurer. In an effort to make the turn-about on Attorney
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-04-23

Palomba appear better to the rank and file of republican voters, the town committee elected Mrs. Pa- lomba to the office of vice-chair- man.
 Three Factions Exist
 Today there were three factions instead of two in the local republi- can organization. The Larkin- Con- way machine was back to the power 1t lost two years ago at the hands of a reorganization group headed by Attorney Palomba. The reorganiza- tion group of which White and Callan are leaders was saying T told you so" today as 8 result of the dumping of Palomba. The third group was made up of packers of Attorney Palomba who today openly declared that their leader had been treated unfairly after his square, dealing with the Larkin- Conway machine in the recent g. o. p. pri- maries.
 Elect Delegates
 Following the town convention the local g. o. D. town and sena- torial conventions were held to elect delegates to the coming state convention. The town delegates elected were William Gerardi, Mrs. Gertrude Keenan, Peter DeCicco and John w. Jaeger. The 18th sena- torial district delegates chosen were Mrs. Florence B. Webster and Michael Manfredi..
 The 18th disrtict delegates are: Floyd Rasmussen and Thomas F. Dillane. Alternates chosen include Albert J. Bronsky, Charles DeBiss- chop, Arthur E. Blewitt, Mrs. Cora Cooney, Stanley Lucas and Samuel Ross, Arthur Hebert, Andrew J. Travel.
 Name Mrs. Pal0mba
 AS further effort to place the Palomba forces, the Larkin-C Conway machine agreed to having Mrs. Palomba elected to the state cen tral committee in the place of her husband. Town Chairman Upson succeeded Attorney Palomba as the male member of the committee from the 18th district. Mrs. Coe was dropped from the central commit tee to make way for Mrs. Palomba. In the 18th district Mrs. Lura Dut- ton was reelected to the central committee and Alderman George Kingston was chosen to succeed ex- Mayor w. H. Sandland on the cen- tral body. The latter did not seek reelection and endorsed Alderman Kingston over two weeks ago.
 Back To First Start
 As things stood today Attorney Palomba was back to where he started two years ago when he led a successful custer attack on the Larkin- Conway machine. Tn fact. l was without some of his back CTS of two years ago, such as Tres urer Callan, Secretary White, Attor- ney Crocicchia, Attorney Edward Sweeney and others.
 The town committee at last nights session elected the following ward chairman: First ward, Frank Rossi; second ward, John Bergin, Jr.; third ward, Frank Varanelli The fourth and fifth wards will elect later. District chairmen will also be chosen later.

GREAT EMPIPE OF
 ETHIOPIA NEAR END

 Crowd Roads to West
 Here in the capital old men, women and children were crowding the roads to the west, their homes broken up, the able bodied men at the front, without hope of ever reforming their little families.
 Rich merchants strapped bags of silver from the banks in the saddle bags on their mules and, surrounded by their armed retainers, made for safer places.
 Foreigners began their exodus. Nearly all the foreign Red Gross units, their usefulness at an end because of the rapidity of the recent Italian advance and the blast of Italian airplane bombs, were here and ready to go.
 Helpers All Leave
 The Belgian military mission which advised the emperor on his strategy and tactics has left for the coast. Capt. John Meade, military attache of the American legation, and John c. Robinson, Chicago negro, the emperor's star aviator since the beginning of the war, left on yesterdays train for Djibouti, French Somaliland. The Netherlands Red Cross unit, which has done heroic work at the front, received otders from home to leave May l.
 Out on the Dessye road, the road of which the emperor was so proud as part of his program of develop ment, built over years by Swiss en- gineers at great cost, the crown princes men were dynamiting long sections of the country's best highway, digging trenches across it 12 feet deep to trap tanks and armored cars, and posting machine guns on dominating peaks in hope that they could delay, if they could not stop. the advance of the in- vaderS.
 Doom of Empire

 Americans and other foreigners here were ready, if necessary, to go to the British legation compound, three miles outside the city, able to shelter from 2,000 to 5000 people if necessary when the final breakup came.
 At each new alarm there came the cry "flee to the hills and save yourselvesl"
 Many people elected to stay in the capital and accept their fate, par ticularly women whose husbands had gone out with the army. They did not know where to go, and they stood each day in shivering, hud- dled groups in the streets.
 Destroying ROadways

They were certain that they could climb the 14l Sloping feet of the Reynolds shaft unaided.
 Both Robertson and Scaddine wiggIed through the opening. The reScuers wanted to carry Robertson up the shaft, but he indignantly re- fused. Because of his sore feet, Scadding had to be carried most of the way, but the elderly Robertson, big man and strong one, ac- cepted no other help than assisting hands on his elbows.
 I'm going to walk up," Robertson said. My mother was over 30 and she never let any one help her. So I'm not either.
 Several times he slipped on the way up, but was caught by his res- cuers.
 On the way up the shaft, through which the miners had tunneled day and night since early Monday, Rob- ertson stopped now and then to ad- mire their work.
 Tt looks like a burrow," he said.
 At several points the rescued, like their rescuers, had to crawl on hands and knees.
 Gasped at Picture Men
 At the mouth of the shaft, news photographers shot off their flash es, which caused Robertson and Scadding to blink and gasp and then to laugh. Medical assistants threw coat over Scadding's head to protect his eyes from the flash ing light, but Robertson grinned through his scrubble and waved.
 They were placed in ambulances, under blankets that had been warmed for them by hot water bags, and taken to the hospital.
 When Scadding was assisted into the room, Robertson already was III bed. Physicians had him stand stand between the two beds and they took off his clothes, piece by piece. They could not get his socks off easily, so cut them off. Robert son, from his bed, watched.
 Grinned at Each Other
 How do you feel?" he asked.
 Fresh all over," Scadding re- piled. "A little weak about the feet and pretty sore from the ankles down. Give me seven hours sleep and I'll walk again"
 He looked down at his companion for ten days in the blackness and dark and silence of tunnel Al feet underground.
 He grinned.
 Robertson grinned back.
 Scadding was put to bed, the light turned off, and the men slept.
 Mrs. Robertson and Mrs. Scadding spoke to their husbands before they retired. They were all but overcome, weeping in their joy.

 You're a wonderful man," he said to me.
 You're a better man than we ever thought of being" I said. Thank you," he said.
 "Now don't talk" one of us said. You've got to conserve your strength"
 I told him we wanted to get him up to the surface where his wife was waiting.
 One of a Million
 "You're wonderful man." I told him. You're one in a million. Your wife is just the same. She never broke down as far as I know" I looked around. Magills body was eight feet behind the doctor and Scadding. They were sitting with their backs to 1t and the water was dripping from the roof. We kept our lights turned away from the body and no one mentioned it.
 Dr. Robertson kept right on thanking us all the way to the sur face up that narrow shaft. He seemed very interested in 1t and ex- amined 1t closely all the way.
 Tt looks more like burrow," he was saying all the time.
