AMBA ALAJI IN INVADERS GRIP
 ON PUSH SOUTH
Locality Was Farthest Point Reached Tn Cam
 paign of 1895

ROME, Feb. 28-The Italian gov- ernment announced today that it's forces have captured Amba Alaji, their second major objective on the drive south.
 The historic point was reached by an Italian punitive expedition in 1895, and was the farthest point to which the Roman legions were able to penetrate in their former war with Ethiopia.
 The entrance of the Fascist troops into Amba Alaji is said by the in- vaders to rank with the fall of Ma kale and the conquests in the Webbe Shibbelle valley in the south as a major point in the campaign.
 The locality was reported to have fallen before the 'Blackshirts three times previously, but each time was denied by the Ethiopian govern ment.

TAX PROGRAM
 IS LAUNCHED
 BY ROOSEVELT
All Embracing Revenue Plan to Come Before Con-
 gress in Near Future

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-A broad tax program for the next fiscal year, intended to produce enough revenue to cover all costs of gov ernment, except relief, was handed Congressional leaders last night by President Roosevelt.
 Chairman Harrison of the Senate Finance Committee told reporters the bill will be introduced to re- store the Federal budget to it's status prior to the passage. of the bonus bill and the invalidation of processing taxes.
 The combination tax program pro- jected by President Roosevelt will raise S500,000,0O0 annually on permanent basis and $500. .000,0 900 more on temporary basis, he told a press conference today. Form of taxes and their rates will be left to Congress, but the President ex- pressed the view that temporary levies could best be met through in- come taxes.
 Taxes, the President said, are necessitated because of passage of the bonus law and the Supreme Court decision invalidating the AAA. These two actions opened a S1 ,l29,000,000 deficit, he said

 Four poles were reported sawed down near Canutillo, short-circuit- ing the lines. Union officials, who instigated a walkout at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, denied having anything to do with the vandalism.
 Electric service was disrupted yes- terday when employees left their jobs under the contention that the company had failed to abide by a working agreement made a year ago during arbitration of the last power strike.
 Unionists, led by N. P. Clay, Pres tdent, predicted it would be Hong drawn-out struggle"

NEW YORK, Feb. 28- Frank Wallace, actor, who yesterday re- newed his efforts to obtain court order declaring him to be the hus- band of Mae West, has received court permission to serve Miss West, through the Sheriff of Los Angeles County, with papers in his suit of declaratory judgment. Wallace, denying it was a pub licity stunt, as charged by Miss West, said his reputation had been damaged by her statement she never heard of him. He made plain through his lawyer. however, that he wished to avoid any "unpleasantness or em- barrassment," because, he said, he still had "tfe warmest esteem and admiration for the alleged Mrs. Wallace.
 Wallace claims he and Miss West were married in 1911 in Milwaukee and separated in 1916 to aid her motion picture career.

Antonio SCotti,
 Noted Baritone,
 Is Dead in Rome
Studied for Priesthood but Ended Up on Oper-
 atic Stage

ROME, Feb. 28- Antonio Scotti, noted baritone, died here today. He had appeared in leading baritone roles with the Metropolitan Opera Company since 1899. There is no other instance of an artist appear ing constantly in leading operatic roles for so long period.
 Scotti learned of his remarkable vocal powers while studying for the priesthood in Naples, his native city and changed his plans of a career with the church to begin studies with Mime. Trifari Pagan mini An unheralded debut in 1899 in Malta, in which he sang the baritone part of Amonasro in Aida" was so successful that he immed- lately appeared in Milan For the next seven years he sang in South America He was guest artist af forwards in Madrid, Petrograd, Warsaw and Odessa.
 Makes Debut
 Scotti's debut as Don Giovanni in Covent Garden, London, in 1899 took the operatic world by storm He was at once engaged for the Metropolitan Opera Company.
 It was Scotti who induced Caruso to take an engagement at Covent Garden which led to Caruso's New York appearance For years they lived together in New York, and during Caruso's illness, Scotti was continually at hs bedside, leaving the opera house with his makeup on, in order to spend more time with his friend.
 A ceremony was held on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House in 1924 after Scotti's appearance in La Tosca," commemmorating his 25th consecutive season with the company. The entire house arose and pelted him with roses for more than twelve minutes.
 BeloDed by All
 Scotti always set female hearts aflutter by the greatness and per- lection of his art. A william on the stage, as most baritones are, in real life he was beloved by all who knew him, for his loyalty and un- affected modesty.
 Some of Scotti's favorite roles were Falstaff; Tonic in T Pagliac- ci"; the count in "Nozzi di Figaro; Risoletto, Ingo in Verdi's "Otello", Marcel in La Boheme", Eseamillo in Carmen, Valentin in Faust, i, the U. s. Consul in Madame But terfly", Scarpia in La Tosca". Ger

 Retailing Holds Up
 The retail trade which showed a 1885 gain of from five to 25 per cent points toward maintaining that upward turn and probably surpass- ing it. Steel is making unusual strides with orders for railroad cars and other equipment accelerating the entire industry. It is operat- ing at better than 50 per cent of capacity at the present time.

'sNe,c Dealers'' Quietly Hope
 for C. Q. P. Campaign Errors
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

One interesting feature of the current political situation is that MT Roosevelt's opponents are mak- ing most of the noise.
 Daily-sometimes at the rate of several day-the big guns of the oposition are pouring their attacks on the White House. Now and then Democratic headquarters or some prominent Democrat replies, but for most part the Administration bat teries remain silent.
 Presumably this is a temporary situation only. With it's array of experienced spellbinders, and it's ex- ceptionally well equipped publicity staff, it must be supposed that the Democratic organization will come into full action in due course.
 There are reasons why, at this stage, it is quite natural for the Republicans to be more vocal than the Democrats. The G. O. P. is in the process of considering who shall be chosen to carry the party ban her against MT. Roosevelt; and each of the aspirants appears anxious to demonstrate how hard he can hit.
 On the Democratic side there are reasons also One of the most po- tent is the feeling among party leaders that it would be folly to shoot off too much ammunition before it is known who the oppos- ing general will be, and what sort of battleline he will present.
 Appears One Sided
 If the present political picture were judged without taking these things into account, it might be possible to conclude that the con test is very one-sided. indeed.
 The laundering of the half-dozen Republican Presidential candidates alone amounts to SiZeable bar rage. Day after day the Liberty League adds its fire unremittingly while the Talmadge movement in Georgia chimes with increasing fre- quency. The Republican National Committee recently has enlarged its publicity bureau, and is more active than ever.
 Tn contrast, Democratic head quarters appears to be saying less and less. Its publicity machinery is working with only partial staff Occasionally a big gun lets go bul most Administration officials, iron the President down, seem conten to let it go at that.
