war and navy departments tc re.
lieve the "acute situation" caus.
ed by coastal ice barriers which
threatenen a fuel shortage was
asked last night by the Boston
Maritime Association.
Manager Frank S. Davis of the
association wired the president and
the war and navy departments to
send available cutters to release
crate ice-bound along the Massa-
chusetts coast.
Several hours before, five air
plane loads of emergency supplies
for the 5000 residents of iee-lock-
ed Nantucket Island were flown
there from Boston, but relief avia-
tors and newsmen found no evil
dence of immediate want.
At Chatham, the Stonehorse
lightship, guarding t h e eastern
entrance to Nantucket sound, was
ripped from its mornings by ice
floes late yesterday and carried
two miles from its station but
fought it's way back to position on
a rip tide.
The lightship, commanded tenn
porarily by First Mate Arthur
Wade, awaited the arrival of a
lighthouse tender from nearby
woods hole with new anchorage.
Besides Wade, a crew of ten men
was aboard. The Stonehorse was
reported in no danger.

GENEVA, Feb. a. (UP)-Ital-

Italy would likely leave the
League of Nations if it imposed
an oil embargo in penalty for her
war on Ethiopia.
Italians watched closely the work
of experts Of the league oil pro-

cal problems connected with the
discussed embargo. Italians argue
that an oil embargo would prove
useless because Italy has suffici-
ent supplies to continue the war
but they say it's application, never

her to break with the league.

Toad In Coping With Recklessness
State Is Taking Its Cam
paign Against Road
Deaths Seriously
By CHILES COLEMAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

RALEIGH, Feb. 4. (UP)-That
the state of North Carolina means
business in the campaign to clear
it's highways of drunkne and 9TH
erwise unsafe automobile drivers
is indicated by the mounting list
of license revocations by the
state department of highway safe
ty.
The first 1141 revocations by
the department covered the
months of November and Decem-
Der, 1885, and January, 1885.
For offenses committed in No
vember, there were 451 revoca-
tions. Drivers who offended in
December and were grounded"
totaled 476, an increase of 25,
with many cases still in the
courts, a certain percentage of
which is certain to be added to
the December total.
Within the month of January,
213 licenses were revoked for of
lenses committed after the new
year. Since licenses still are being
revoked for November offenses,
future months will swell the total
TO new record.
The mounting list of revoca-
lions testifies to the determine
ton of the safety department to
press its campaign to the limit.
Continued efforts toward full CO.
operation of courts and county
officials throughout the state are
bearing fruit in more. widespread
application of the 12month pen
atty.
Under a reciprocal agreement
with South Carolina, Virginia,
Maryland and other states, North
Carolina Furnishes its citizens who
violate the law outside its bor-
ders. In the three months since
the new law has been in effect,
eight drivers have lost their. Ii
censes for driving while drunk in
Virginia, IL for the same offense
in South Carolina, and one in
Maryland. Natives of those states
who offend in North Carolina are
likewise reported to their own
state authorities.
Latest effort of the department
to reduce the highway death toll,
which reached 1,095 in the state
last year, is 4s-page, blue-cov-
cred booklet containing safety
questions and answers for drivers
and pedestrians, charts, graphs
and tables ct accident statistics,
and illustrations of proper. road

WASHINGTON, Feb. a. CUP
Political insiders were confident
today that the house currency in
f!ation campaign will collapse al
this session, either before senate
opposition or a presidential veto
Currency initiation is almost i'm,
possible this year without Presi,
dent Roosevelt's assent.
There is no assurance that an
initiation bill can be defeated in
the house. The last bulwark would
be a veto and the necessity for
a two-thirds senate majority to
override. Practical politicians do
net believe the inflationists can
raise the votes in 1886 although
all hands expect currency infla-
ton uproar until congress ad-
joutns.
The new federal reserve board
which took office this week will
make a courtesy call" today on
Secretary of Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, Jr. The occasion Of
fers opportunity for discussion of
fiscal conditions and initiation pos
sibilities. Morgenthau is report
ed to have discussed the matter
in detail with Mr.. Roosevelt. The
board has large but untested pow
er to control credit initiation. 1t
would be powerless to cope with
currency initiation imposed by
congress.
So long as Mr.. Roosevelt oppos-
es printing press money, credit in
flation is much more likely to be
the form of expansion to be ex-
perienced in this country. Credit
initiation would involve flow of a
vast volume of potential bank
credit into trade channels. 1t is
a process more gradual than cur
rency initiation but subject to
quick and possibly dangerous &C

The Coolidge boom which cul-
minated in 1929 was based prin-
cipally on credit initiation. In that
instance there was a notable di-
version of commercial bank cred

LOSES HOPE
FOR FREEDOM
Man Surrendering To Ex-
plate Crime Wanted
Now In Oklahoma
BY JOHN A. PARIS, JR.
United Press Staff Correspondent

RALEIGH, Feb. a (UP)-Jesse
Walker, a 45-year-old man with
white hair, who voluntarily re.
turned to complete a prison SEN
tcnce for murder, last night saw
his final hope of regaining free
dom disappear.
Oklahoma authorities yesterday
filed detainer for Walker asking
his return to complete a 30-year
sentence, also for murder, when
he is released from North Carolina
prison.
Ten months ago Walker left his
home in Gulfport, Miss, and,
without telling his wife, came here
to finish a 30-year sentence for
the murder of a Brunswick county
sheriff in 1915. He had escaped
from Central Prison in 1919.
In Mississippi, Walker was
Frank Manning to his friends-s
respected citizen with good rep
utation.

that's why | came back" he told
the Warden when he walked into
the prison one Sunday afternoon
last April. q.
When his friends learned he
had gone to prison they sought to
obtain pardon or a parole for
him. Hundreds of letters from
Mississippi, including one from
Gov. Sennett Conner, were receiv-
ed by the parole office here.
Walker forgot to tell offici-
ais when he came back that he
had escaped from Oklahoma State
penitentiary where he was serv-
ing a 30-year sentence for MUIR
der.
Yesterday the old crime caught
up with Walker as parole authori.
ties made preparations to investi-
gate his case and decide whether
he should be paroled.
When the man who is known at
State Prison as Walker killed in
Muskogee, Oklahoma, he was Paul
Williams. He had gone west from
Florida as young man.
AS Frank Manning in Mississippi
Walker was deacon in the
church, a man with a wife, store
