BUSINESS MUST
 GIVE MEN JOBS

Washington, April 18-(UP) The American Federation of Labor as- serted today that business must in- crease wages, shorten hours and put unemployed to work in industry or be reconciled to maintaining a standing workless army seething with discontent."
 The rising tide of business ex- pansion. the A. F. of L. said in its monthly business review. is becom- ing irresistible" marked by in- creased industrial profits and a rising stock market.
 On the other hand, the review pointed out. more than l2.000. 900 persons remain unemployed "in spite of all the gains of the last three years"
 "The present is no time for tenn porizing," the A. F. of L. declared. Either we make the transition from government support to private em- ployment by increasing wages, shortening hours and putting the unemployed to work In industry. or we keep standing working army seething with discontent because of the injustice done them on denying jobs at decent pay.
 Already the unemployed are or- ganlzisig and recent demonstrations show that American workmen will not submit forever to force idleness land public support"

WOMAN AIDED IN
 BOND THEFT CASE
MarchiOness of Italy Hides in New York to Escape
 Gang Vengeance

New York, April 18- (UP)- Guarded revelations by federal agents and police indicated today that the beautiful Marchioness Pia Ferrari Davico of Italy was the in strument through which an interna- tional ring of bond thieves has been disrupted and $750,000 worth of stolen securities recovered. The marchioness, 34, is in hiding in New York in fear of gang vengeance, po- lice said. She still is cooperating with detectives seeking $l,296, 900 worth of securities, stolen from Wall street banking hounses in robberies that baffled Investigators more than & year.
 Her Testimony Important
 Police said her testimony will be most important in the prosecution of two men held for United States authorities in Paris and a third man, David Frank, whose secret arrest in New York several days ago was revealed last night. Frank and the men held in Paris were accused of complicity in theft of $l,456,000 worth of bonds belonging to the bank of the Manhattan company. Because J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the federal justice departments bu- reau of investigation, linked that crime with another theft of $590, 900 in treasury notes in 1884, 1t was as- sumed that the Marchioness also would testify against eight men ar rested in connection with 1t.

FIFTH WARD MAY NAME EC.0.P.BoSS
Seems to Have Balance of Power in Primaries for
 Next Monday

Efforts to oust Attorney Frederick w. Palomba from the post of re- publican town chairman and to wipe out the Larkin- Conway machine en- tirely reached their climax last night. Tickets for Mondays prima- ries, opposed to the Palomba ma chine, were filed in the first and second wards. AS a result Monday evening will see bitter struggle be- tween the organization and reor- ganizationists.
 Victory by the reorganiza tionists in the first and second wards, plus the votes of the fifth ward delegates and town committee members, will mean that the power of the Larkin- Conway Palomba machine has crumbled. Yesterday was the final time for filing tickets for Mondays primaries at which members of the l936-1937 town committee will be elected and delegates to the town and senatorial conventions chosen.
 No contests will take place in the third, fourth or fifth wards. Tickets for the third and fourth wards, submitted by the reorganiza tionists, are similar to the ones submitted by the Larkin- -Conway-Palomba ma chine. The fifth ward republicans filed only one ticket but the group is known to be anti-Palomba.
 The reorganization ticket in the first ward is as follows: Delegates, James B. Mcclure, Salvatore Bosco, Mildred Ogden and Jacob Shaerer; alternates, Charles T. Burke, Philip Faber, Rudolph Ringenberger and

MUSSOLINI WAS
 VERY JUBILANT
Premier Believes He Wins Greatest Victory in His
 Dramatic Career
By STEWART BROWN

Copyright, 1036, by United Press)
 Rome, April l8- CUP) - Premier Benito Mussolini jubilant, awaited confidently today what he expects to be the greatest triumph of his dramatic career. He visualized the collapse of Ethiopia, the abdication of Emperior Halle Selassie, the vir- tual annexation of 0 country nearly three times as big as Italy, the humiliation of Great Britain and the disastrous defeat of league of Nations he has always hated. It was understood that he had sent to Marshal Pietro Badoglio, comman- der in chief in East Africa, detailed instructions on his terms for an armistice and the abdication of the emperor.
 l.lofflcial but reliable sources said that he had received assurances that the Ethiopian Crown Prince, Asia Wosen, was ready to negotiate peace internationally and to as- sume the nominal sovereignty of the country as puppet emperor under Italian domination.
 Communicated offer
 It was even insisted that the em- peror himself was ready to abdicate in Wosen's favor. and had commun- icated this offer to Italian represen- tatives. But regardless of imme- diate developments, Mussolini saw

 For tenseness and dramatic values the climax of Ritters trial was out standing. For sharp conflict or points of law and Interpretation oi the constitution 1t provided a pre- cedent which may have a marked effect on the future of the Ameri- can judiciary.

POLICY RACKET
 THROUGH HERE
Attempts to Restart It Will
 Be Watched Closely By Officials
(Continued on Page 7.)

With stiff penalties having been meted out in court Thursday to nine men arrested as being involved in the operation of the policy game in Waterbury, the states attorneys office will continue to keep out a watchful eye to make sure that the game is not resumed here, 1t has been learned. Meantime, the states attorneys office has not given up hopes of securing enough evidence to bring about the arrest and ar- raignment of the "big shot" in the racket, who, Assistant States Attor- ney William B. Fitzgerald said in court Thursday, is known to the man in the street, but who has been clever enough to cover up."
 All Hopes Doomed
 All indications make 1t clear that those who expected that the game would be resumed as soon as the cases had been disposed of are doomed to disappointment. Policy has not been played in Waterbury since late in February, with the nine who were arrested being picked up March 9th on warrants charging them with offenses committed in February and January. The evidence on which the bench warrants against the men were secured was gained by investigators employed by States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis.
 Attempt Will Be Costly
 Should the re-opening of the policy game come and bring further arrests, there is little doubt but what the states attorneys office will seek jail sentences for the accused rather than fines. Then, too, the nine who were fined total of $340O Thursday all have suspended jail terms of six months hanging over their heads. If arraigned again in the next year. those jail terms can be put into effect immediately, the suspensions being lifted.
 Public Against It
 Strangely enough, public opinion has swung definitely against the policy racket, which for long time was accepted with good-natured tol- erance. The general opinion now is that the game wasn't as much "on the level" before it's demise as 1t had been in previous days.
 That the states attorneys drive "started something" can be seen from the fact that police have made several arrests since that time on
