ANTI.LOBBYINC
 BILL WILL PASS

Washington, June 3---(UP)--En- actment of tho so-cailed anti-lobby- ing bill ct this session virtually was assured today when senate and house conferees agreed on legiSla- ton.
 Less drastic than the measure passed by the senate. the conference bil lprovides that organizations col- lecting, receiving or extending funds to influence legislation must file statements with the clerks of the senate and house similar to those now required from political organi- zatlonS under the corrupt practices act.
 The bill also requires persons elil- ployed to influence legislation to file statements giving the name Of their employers and the amount of their compensation. However, the .provl- sion would not apply to persons ap- bearing before senate and house committees in open hearings.
 Chief difilculty ironed out by the conferees involved Q senate prcvs- sion forcing persons appearing be- fore government departments to file statements concerning the nature Of their work and compensation. The conferees finally adopted a compro- misc giving government depart- ments the right to make their own rules and regulations.

ITALY MAY HAVE TO QUIT LEAGUE
SC Nations to Meet June azzvNiAE Probably Vote x Against Victory
BY WALLACE CARROLL

Copyright l9S0, by United Press)
 Geneva, June 3.---(UP)--The full assembly of tho League Of Nations, comprising 66 nations, probably will meet here June g for a finish fight on the Italian-E Ethiopian problem which entails the leagues whole future. 1t was learned auth. oritatively today, It was expected that tho league council would meet Junen g to prepare for the assem- bly,. 1t seemed certain that the meeting must be one of the most important in tho i7 years since Woodrow Wilson's dream of Q world parliament of nations to enforce peace was incorporated into the Versailles treaty.
 May Be Forced Out
 AS q result of the meeting. Italy may be forced by It's national pride to leave tho league. A start may be made toward revision of the league covenant and It's Article x. It may start continental European nations on the way at last to a new politi- cal alignment. And it may start Europe toward either Q war or a more secure peace. Argentina de- inanded the meeting, to consider the Italian Ethiopian problem. It was understood that the South American republic Is prepared to drop league penalties against Italy as impractic' able but that it will not recognize Italy's conquest of Ethiopia even fl every other nation in the league does. Argentina suggested the as- sembly meeting for about June 10, when the league council or govern. ing body is scheduled to convene here.
 May Change Date
 But Joseph A. Avenol, secretary general of the league, suggested to- day that June g, one week later, might prove more convenient. He will consult Edouard Benes, of C2e- president of the assem- bly,, and Anthony Eden. of Great Erie tain, president of the council today. If the June g date is agreed on. the council meeting probably will be deferred till then. Though little has been announced, governments of many nations are busy considering their policy.
 Possible Solution
 Of the possible solutions already evolved the most important would

One Arrest Made M Latest Policy Game
Nicholas Perugini of 3O6 North Main Street Was Pulled in This Afternoon - Emergency
 Squad Made Arrest

Members of the emergency squad arrested Nicholas Perugitii, 42, of 300 North Main street on charges of writing and keeping policy early this afternoon. Perugini's arrest Is the first to Do made on policy charges since out of town operators were convicted in city court several years ego. Police said, the man had in his possession slips similar tc thcse. used by Inc conhlpation which sponsored the game Eera prior to the arrest and conviction Of nine men on policy charges in superior court early in the spring.
 Released Under Bonds
 The man was picked up by Patrol men Fred Hickey and Patrick Moy- Ian of the vice-squad and brought to police headquarters where ho was later released under bonds of Si,00c, furnished by A. L. Larson.
 While the game had been played with the utmost secrecy for . short time e few weeks ago 1t was be- lieved the announcement by Super intendent of Police William J. Roach that operators would be brought in immediately when the necessary evidence was secured had put a de- finite end to policy. Slips which had been issued surreptitiously no longer appeared and persons fami- liar with the game declared that plays were no longer being taken.
 Not . Gesture
 Evidently believing that tho poe lice mandate was purely c gesture, however, the operators of the game once more became active. Perugini will be arraigned before Judge Ed ward Mascolo in city court tomorrow on the policy charges.
