Britain StIlI Persistent

London, May 7- (UP) - Great Britain will advocate the continu- lnnce of penalties against Italy be- EKore the League of Nations council next week despite the sweeping Italian victory in Ethiopia. 1t was understood today.
 Anthony Eden, Britain's young Eoreign minister, who told the house lof commons yesterday that "the 1eague must go on," will be given wide latitude in determining his na- tions course.
 It was understod however, that he would press for maintenance of Isanctions onIy in the event that bother leading powers agree. Authorities here admit that any aggressive attempt to perpetuate fpenalties might meet with grave dif- faculties and possible defeat. They khave information that several sanc- Eionist powers have become restive land prefer to write off penalties as a loss particularly since the Ital- ian seizure of Ethiopia is already an @cc0mpuSned Iact.
 Britain, these sources say, can Ihardly be expected to resist Q stam- 5pede of league countries away from sanctions.
 one important political faction here is strongly in favor of a can- did admission by the league that 1t has been Q complete failure in the Ethiopian adventure. Eden did not go quite 60 strong before commons although he conceded that the fall- nEe of the league had been a bitter At1lsappolItment.

An hour after the start, most of the passengers who had gazed downward At the twinkling lights of villages 1,200 feet beneath, then made c rush, as if by common impulse, for the smoke room--this is the first ship on which such Q luxury iS permitted -and the bar. The stewards began paging the passengers with radiogranlS on sil- vered trays, and distributing Ger. man beer and sandwiches. Franz Wagner played jazz on the piano the first air plano. Lady wilkins, wife of Sir Hubert Wilkins, the ex- plorer, took the first bath in the air.
 Normal Speed 78 Knots
 The normal cruising speed is 70 knots. We have made at times aS much as 80. With the first passen- ger flight of this plying hotel to the United States, Germany has achieved predominance in commer- cial air service across both the North and South Atlantic. She will clinch her lead by building Q sister ship to the Hindenburg. The Hindenburg is to make 20 crossing of the North Atlantic this summer, Q round trip taking about Q week. The gnS which lifts the ship is highly inflamIla- ble. one spark would explode 1t. Yet we have Q smoking room, and Lloyd's Insurance Underwriters in London charged me only Q l per cent premium on Q special instir- arice policy. >w
 Priest to ssy Mass
 Sunday Father Paul Schulte of Ak La Chapelle, "The Flying Padre" will celebrate mass, the first ever conducted in the air, by special per- mission of the Pope. But though we have room for 0 church service, the regimen of life aboard the Hinden- burg shows what transatlantic air travel means. So delicately adjusted Is the weight of everything aboard that not even the water in which we bathe and wash is thrown away, or the refuse. It Is collected, and 1t stays as ballast. We carry rafts and coliapsible boats in case 0 forced landing is made at sea.
 Flown l,60O,O0O Miles
 Commander Lehman has flown more than 1,500,000 miles in zepplins in 23 years, and has commanded six pervious zeppelinS without los- ing Q ship. He predicted that Ger. many would retain the lead in travel for many years over the ocean afr ways. At noon, we were approxi- mately 37b miles southwest of the Scilly Isles. The indications were that the dirigible would take Q southerly course, instead of the northern Great Circles route.
 By courtesy of Commander Ernst Lehman, I rode for half an hour in the control cabin. The charted course at the time was headed half way between the transatlantic steamer track and the Azores.
 I also clambored along the cat- walk inside the bag, which is one foot wide and runs the length of the ship from stem to stern, through

 we have been expecting you" he said. "The plane you saw, radioed that you were coming. But we never expected to see Che United States flag here"
 Where is Che Negus7
 The first question of the officers was: "Where is the Negus?" They had not heard of his flight to the coast to protection of British cruiser. Col. 9cotti courteously asked IiS to follow his car. News of our arrival was wirelessed back to Mar shAl Pietro Badoglio, leading the main column. He wirelesSed back that we must stay with the column and not return to Adds Ababa ahead of it--a most natural order in what still was war.
 Treated HOspltably
 We were treated most hospitably. We were wined as well as dined at the officers mess, and we slept In the field that night, only five miles outside the capitals suburbs with the second brigade of the Eritrean division, the tough Askari natives from Erltrea under Gen. Ruggiero Trachia. Tuesday morning the men were rebuilding and strengthening Q bridge so 1t would bear the enormous iO.ton Diesel motored trucks which the officers told us were following there were 2,500 trucks in all. Then came Q wireless flash from Marshal Badoglio. He had been informed that the bandits in the capital were be-

AS0AApeAhNANS handing return to Oklahoma for parole violation. Hoover said Ooy- er had been associated with the Karpis-B Barker mob, but did not narticipate either in the BreEner Kidnapping or the oarrettsville mall robbery.
 Campbell Married
 Campbell was married, Hoover said, in May, 1885, at Bowling Green, Ohio. He did not disclose the maiden name of Campbell's wife but said he did not think she knew who Campbell really was.
 The building in which Campbell was taken was c two-story store structure in which there were four apartments on the second floor above Q delicatessen. Campbell lived in one of the front apart- rnents, Hoover said Campbell had lived in Toledo under the name of Bob Miller. He also was married under that name, . marriage certi- ficate found in the apartment showed.
 Coker's age was listed as 70 and his home was Nowata, Okla. He was captured ii1 m old residence where he was residing with an aged couple. Federal agents used extreme caution in capturing Coker because the elderly couple was suffering from heart trouble.
 Has Prison Record
 Campbeli's prison record dates back to 1920, but he did not join the Karpis- Barker gang until short- Iy before it was broken tip by death of some members and Imprisonment of others. His chief claim to l1otoT- iety rests on the fray in Atlantic City in January, 1885, when he and Alvin Karpis shot their way to free- dom from Q hotel-room hideout in which they had been cornered by local police. He also was implicated in the Bremen kidnapping. Camp bell is 90 years old, Q native of McC Clintocviiie, Penn. His police record began when, ct the age of 20, he was arrested in Tulsa, Okla, and fined ei0.
 Attorney General Homer g. Cum- mings recently announced . reward of @2,600 for information leading to Canpbell's arrest. The reward was posted because of his participation in the Bremen Kidnapping, In St. Paul in January, 1884.

MARTIAL LAW ON IN ADDS ABABA

An occasional volley from bandits at night is met by the fire of the patrolling carabinieri ct once, and soon there is silence again. 1 went out to investigate one volley, but the carabineri made me return, explain ing that for the time being 1t was necessary to keep everybody, even newspapermen, of the streets after dark 60 that no one would be en- dangered.
 Ruin of City Complete
 But the ruin of the city is all but complete. Members of the foreign colony, after visiting their homes, told me that the looters took every. thing, even bottles of mineral water. They told me also that they attributed the wild orgy of lawless- ness not to hatred of white people afeer the Italian victory but to plain vandalism in the absence of Q police fcroe. Now there is Q strong police force again, and Marshal Pietro Badogiio has already set up special military courts to punish 1ooters. He has added the old Ethiopian police- men to the carabinier corps as an auxiliary branch, along with infan- try men, tank corps men and the crews of armored cars.

 Cradle Withdrawn
 The piece that doubtless would have brought top price--a cradle fashioned by MT. Coolidges father was withdrawn week ago. Auc. tioneer Bean feared that reports that the late president as Q baby had been rocked in the cradle, something never definitely estab- iished, would prove Q false lure to buyers.
 So that potential buyers would not be crowded out by curious, Q nominal admission charge was made. Proceeds from this door sale will be turned over to the Hampshire coun- ty chapter of the American Red Gross to aid sufferers of the March floods.
 First to buy an article which had graced the White House was E. Guy Sawyer of Berlin, Mass, who paid Si4.60 for Q walnut console table and radio cabinet.
 Lewis N. Wiggins of Northampton paid Sii for . hickory chair, and Irving L. Smith of Auburn, Me-, gave SIS for Q hickory rocker.

To NexOtlate Loan

Rome, May 7-(UP)--Italy, deter mined to proceed ct once with the exploitation of Ethiopia, will begin negotiations soon for an interna- tionaI loan, 1t was reported in re- liable fascist banking quarters to- day.
 Administrative organization of the central government of the new colony will be complete within 6 few days, 1t was understood.
 General Rodolfo Grabiani, com- nander of the eastern armies in Ethiopia, is expected to be named military governor of the whole country within few days-as soon as he completes the consolidation of the capture of the Harar-Jijiga area.
 Achiile starace, secretary general of the fascist party, who led the march on Lake Tana, is expected to become civil governor.
 Marshal Pietro Badoglio, the corn- mander in chief of East African armies, hero of the war, is expected to give up his special post of gov- ernor general of East Africa and re- turn to Rome to resume his duties as chief of the general staff of the armed forces.
 Premier Benito MuSsolini's possi- ble moves were watched intently in banking circles, in the belief that Q loan might be negotiated.
 Reports published in today's Lon- don newspapers that negotiation of Q loan already was under way were denied as completely groundless. These reports were that Alberto Pireili, one of Europe's leading in- dustrialists, was conducting in pre- liminary negotiations in London, seeking loans in London and New Xork.

 Hopkins estimated the administra- ton will have Q job chest of 93,i40,- 100000 to spend during the l2 months after July financing work projects for 2,043, ,606 persons.
 JOb Drive Differs
 The 1030-le37 jobs drive, he said, will differ from the current 94,000,- O00,000 program in these important respects:
 1. Project costs will be about 440O, O,000, 900 less than the 33,800, ,000,- 900 now being spent. There will be 100000 fewer persons employed.
 2. Harold L. 1ckeS' public works administration, in accordance with the presidents plan, will receive no money to lend and grant political divisions for E1on-federal construc- ton.
 3. None of the new money will be allotted to monuKnental-siSed proj. ects like Maines Passamaquoddy tidal power dam or Florida's cross- state ship canal unless congress spe. officially authorizes the expenditures.
 {. There will be 0 change in the rule that only persons on relief rolls prior to last November l will be eligi- ble for work. Another date will be set, but none has been decided.
 6. Wages possibly will be in- creased. They now average $6.03 over the country ranging from Q 66-cent-an-hour high in New York city to 20 cents in South Carolina.
 Where It Coipes From
 Hopkins testified the 93,i40,000,- GOO will come from these sources: The new $500, 100000 appropria- ton; $i,000, 100000 unexpended from the present program; 9400, 900, 900 federal public works in the presl. dents budget; 9246, 100000 for the civilian conservation corps. i,
 He made 1t clear WPA could con- tinue It's light, cheap projects when he estimated new WPA employment ct 100000 persons from the 9i,6o0,- 100000. Other work will be divided: 100000 jobs from the Si00,000, 900 carry over; 126, 1000 from heavy con- struction; 3le,606 from eco camp enrolment.
 Hopkins new plans called for ex. penditure of the ei,600,00 900 on these types of projects:
 Highways, Roads
 Highways, roads and streets, 4l36,- 100000: public highways, 9l06 6,000,- 900: parks and recreation facilities, sl6b, ,000, 900; public utilities $780,. 100000; flood control and conserva. ton, 9i36, ,000, 900; white-collar proj- ects characterized by program crit- icS as boon. .doggling," 4O,000, 900;

 Hopkins said he considered the governments relief program "as having little to do with reviving em- ployment as such: that 1t is Q palia. tive; that 1t is Q necessary thing"
 He then advocated congressional action following the i8-e6 year work. ing span outlined by President Roosevelt.

during the night as we passed the little Isle of Wight off the south coast at 4 Q. m. (ll p. ni., Wednes- day, EST) the sun was rising. The sea was calm. We sighted 6 few ships. The passengers, except the newspaper correspondents, were asleep. Captain Lehman intends to take his time, probably going by way of the Azores to the south in. stead of the northern Great Circle route.
 Almost NOlseless
 The flight is one of the velvety motion, almost noiseless. It Is the most nearly perfect air transport l have encountered in more than i50,000 miles of air travel. Soon there is to be regular passenger service across the Atlantic. Then, before long, 1t will be possible to circle the globe as an aerial pas- senger, with the use of the Ameri- can "Clipper" planes across the Pacific.
