 Italian Armies Press On
 In East Africa, the Italian north- ern army continued to press on toward Dessye, aviators reported that the Dessye road was clear of warriors. Dispatches from the southern front told of torrential rain throughout Italian Solnaliland and adjoining Ethiopian territory.
 The United Press correspondent with the northern Italian army re- ported that Italian sources said Emperor Halle Selassie narrowly escaped capture after the recent battle of Lake Aschangi. It was al- legged that he fled on mule back, his beard shaved off, with only a few hundred followers, stopping each night at small village to sleep.

armies on mutual defense in event of an attack by Germany would start at London Wednesday.
 Russia, Japan
 Moscow, April 11-(UP) - Russia and Japan have exchanged protests about a new clash on the Manchu- kuo-Siberia frontier. it was an- nounced today. Each country charg- ed that soldiers of the other crossed the frontier and attacked its own men.
 Boris Stomoniakov, under secre- tary for foreign affairs, protested the clash to Tamekichi Ohta, Jap anese ambassador. He said that an armed group from Manchukuo crossed the frontier near Grodekovo and, 5000 feet inside Russian terri tory, fired on frontier guards.
 Ohta at once replied with his own protest - that belligerent Rus Sians attacked unoffending Japanese and killed three of them, within Manchu territory.
 Britain Holds Key
 Geneva, April 11.--UP).-Great Britain today held the key to the European situation with the out come of Germanys Rhineland re- occupation and Italy's African war depending on the success of British diplomatic efforts to avoid Euro peon conflict.
 Capt. Anthonk Eden, polished British foreign minister, again was the central figure. In his hands was the commission, heSitatingly ap- proved by France, to proceed with efforts to bring Germany back into the family of nations and reconcile the divergent German and French viewpoints.
 In Eden's power also largely lay the future of Italy's war against Ethiopia. Despite the league moves for peace talks here next week and also the French friendship for Italy, shown repeatedly by Foreign Min ister Pierre-Etienne Flandin, Eden still was the leader for neaw penal ties against Italy undess hostilities are halted at once.
 England As Mediator
 England's position followed the traditional role of a mediator in- solar as Germany and France are concerned. However despite her friendship with France and French unwillingness to antagonize Italy, the British attitude towards Italy was stronger than it has been for some weeks.
 Various interpretations were given to this fact. Italian military suc- cesses have carried them far into Ethiopiua in recent weeks and also into the sphere of British interest around Lake Tana. Reports of poison gas attacks and the lombard ment of Ethiopian towns have aroused much unfavorable British opinion. League peace negotiations now might well result in an armis- tice highly favorable to Italy.
 In any case, Eden once more has revive dthe threat of an oil embargo and on his decision for or against actual imposition of such penalties will lie the result of Italy's plans in Africa and Europe.

Boston, April 11-(UP)-A few scattered transactions of fair vol ume were noted in the Boston mar ket for domestic Wools during the past week, according to today's re- port of the U. s. agriculture depart ment.

BOSTON TEAMS TO
 FACE RAIN AGAIN

Boston, April 11-(U.PD - Rains again threatened to postpone start of the city championship series be- tween the Boston Red SoX and Bos- ton Bees today, in which event the mythical title will hinge on outcome of single game at Fenway Park Sunday.

ALLAN HOOVER
 GOT AAA BENEFITS
(Continued from Page 1.)

NCOnCllueQ 1TOm rage I.) ceived a $4,8O0 AAA payment was contained in a dispatch by Raymond Clapper, Scripps-H Howard staff writer in Washington. The dispatch in part said:
 "Who started these disclosures of AAA benefit payments anyway? Now it leaks out that Allan Hoover, son of former President Hoover, is on the boks as having received $4.- 800 in AAA sugar benefit payments from the new deal against which his father is pitting wit and wis dom.
 On Sugar Contract
 "The payment was made on a 1884 sugar contract, and went to IA Sansome street, San Francisco. It is not known here whether MT. Hoover was only the nominal recip- tent for payments intended for ten- ants or other parties, or whether they were due him personally.
 Tt has ben frequently said that the real purpose of AAA was to buy the republican farm vote but mo- body dreamed that Secretary Wal
 Young Hoover's statement said lace would aim so high" the payment was under the cotton agreement, rather than the sugar agreement.

Geneva, April 11-(UP)-Two of Europe's gravest postwar problems the reoccupation by Germany of the demilitarized Rhnieland zone and the Italian Ethiopian war were at temporary stalemate to- day.
 Meetings of the league committed of 13 on the Ethiopian problem and of British, French, Belgium and Italian delegates as representa- tives of Locarno treaty nations, did nothing to bring nearer a solution of either.
 Great Britain and France re- mained completely divergent both on the Rhineland and Italian mat ters.
 To Talk With Italy
 It was arranged that Salvador De Madariaga of Spain should talk to Italian and Ethiopian delegates Tuesday on peace possibilities, and that the committee of 13 should meet next Thursday to hear Mad dL ldBd D lCpOIb. Di lIctlll CllI CdCCAlClt to demand new penalties against Italy if-as was eXpected-Italy re- fused to agree on peace on terms acceptable to the league.
 Great Britain was left to nego- tiate with Germany on the Rhine land problem and program of peace. consolidation, pending a meeting of the league council May II.
 In a communique after a meeting last night, the Locarno powers said that Germany had not made a contribution to reestablishment oi confidence which is indispensable for negotiations"
 To COnciliate Germany
 Britain, the communique said would continue efforts to conciliate Germany, first asking Fuehrer Adolf Hitler to clarify his attitude regard ing collective security for European nations.
 France, it was said, reserved all its rights in event that Germany re- fortified the Rhineland. If fortiflca- tion were started, it was said, the four Locarno powers would mee; at once.

MEXICAN GOVT. IS
 BLASTING GALES
(Continued from Page 1.)

Btrous bombing of train on the Vera Cruz-Mexico City railway" IMora's statement was indicative of the attitude which the government has taken-that Gales and his fol- aow5rs melted disorders so that khey might charge that communism land anarchism prevailed through but Mexico. It was disclosed that the government had long watched bCalges's activities, and for 8 time thought it best to ignore him. So real was the fear that his continued presence might mean serious trou- Ible that President Cardenas decided he must go.
 Cardenas' Statement
 Cardenas' statement on the expul- sion of Gales, Luis Morones, former secretary of labor; Luis Leon, for bmer secretary of agriculture, and DMelchor Ortego, former governor of IGuanajuato state, said:
 For months I have been observ- ling the incesSant maneuvers Of cer- tain political elements, designed to provoke a state of alarm and social unrest. I intended that the govern ment should keep it's hands off so long as the maneuvers were limited Ito defamatory campaigns in Mexico land abroad.
 But when the situation reached buch extremes that these elements brazenly indulged in illicit activities which tended to impede the march bf institutions and frustrate the hoblest purposes of the state; and furthermore opposed the trend Of bur social struggle, it appeared nec- essary for the executive to abondon Its attitude of quiet vigilance and lake urgent measures in order to hvoid disturbances of great magni- Eude."
 Opposes Catholic Church
 Bluntly, the statement meant that the governments program Of social legislation in aid of the peasantry hnd workers, its opposition to the Roman Catholic church, and It's tendency to exert even closer con- trol of industry, were threatened. Calles charged the government with eommunistic tendencies; the goV- ernment charges Gales with de- realistic reactionary aims.
 Calles's defense was undertaken by his son, Rodolfo Elias Gales, who said in statement:
 T protest energetically against the calumnies against my father, hnd urge the authorities to investi- kate carefully and present concrete proofs of its charges. Otherwise the Eourt of public opinion will put Everybody, in the end, in the place In which he belongs"
 A score of laborerS demonstrated In front of Calles's home last night, demanding that it be converted into h home for working men. Police dis bersed them, but fearing renewed kisitations Calles's family moved to Lhe home of a friend.
 The workers said, as they left, Lhat they would insist that the balatial homes of Leon and Morones, hs well as Gales, be converted into brphanages of workers homes.

New York, April 11-(UP)-Re- duced by the Good Friday holiday and caution of traders, volume on the New York stock exchange in the past week was the lightest of the year. Prices turned irregular with several issues weak, but on the gen. eral average the market made no progress in either direction.
 While the stock market list was practically static, business continued to make broad gains. Steel opera tions set a new high mark since mid-June, 1930, at 66 per cent in the Iron Age compilation. The U. s. Steel corporations shipments of finished steel for March jumped 107, ,237 tons over the February total despite the floods, and set a new high except for one month-June, 1934-since April, 1881.
 General Motors corporation sales for March reached 196,721 units, a new high since June, 1929. The Au- tomobile Manufacturers association reported output of it's members all the principal producers except Ford-for March totaled 323, 160 cars and trucks. An increase of AT per cent over February and IS per cent over a year ago.
 U. s. Steel and Bethlehem made new highs since 1881. General Mo- tors and Chrysler made new tops since 1929. They held part of the lgains despite profit-taking.
 As steel and motor shares were bid up demand spread to other sec ltions. For a time utilities were strong. Some retained gains. Rails picked up. Coppers were carried ahead on outlook for a general rise ito g 1-2 cents 8 pound for the metal. lBefore-taking new highs were made by Anaconda and Kennecott.
 Aviation issues had setback as a result of the Uniontown, Pa., plane crash. Douglas dropped more than Is and Transcontinental several points.
