 Roads Impassable
 Due Co rains, 1t was learned, as sell as to Ethiopian sabotage, the imperial road along which the main column is advancing . ct places completely impossible.
 Badoglio has had to build entire eetol1r-roads or to construct new bridges over rivers.
 It was evident that Badoglio did not foresee that the road was 50 bud, because the government on the basis of reports from the front exc uected the occupation of Adds AbAba much sooner.
 Critics of the movement allege that the Italians are not hurrying into the capital in order to let the world get indignant at Ethiopian excesses before entering and reStor. ing order.
 Now everything is about ready and 1t was predicted that the entry would be made not later than to- morrow afternoon.
 Report of Commander
 Hadoglio's communique today said:
 "Our advance guards reached last night 0 point 30 kilometres (l8 1-2 xnileg) from Addis Ahaba.
 "Even in the Shoa region (near the capitaD the population is well coming our troops, submitting and giving them gifts.
 "Our airplane squadrons are con- tinually flying over Adds Ababa.
 "On the southern front notwith- standing heavy rainfall the advance is continuing. The Libyan division occupied Parso, in the upper Sullul valley. One Eritrean battalion ate tackled and dispersed enemy groups fleeing toward the Sullul region"
 All Italy Waiting
 For the fifth successive day 1tal- fans patiently put out their flags and bunting in readiness for an eIAborately regimented celebration Of final victory.
 It was to have been last Friday, when orders for mobilization at a given signal were issued. A substi- ute mobilization order was sent out for the "early days of May" Yester- day everybody thought the occupa- ton announcement certain.
 People hoped 1t would come to-. day, when the chamber was called to meet at 1 }. m. (l0 0. rn., EST).
 But well informed sources said that 1t was most likely the an- nouncement of ocupation, and the mobilization call, would not come before tomorrow.
 Final Preparations
 As the beleaguered foreigners In Addis Ababa for the fourth day withstood the attacks of rioting na- tives, word came that final preparas tions were under way" for the oc- cupation.

unqualified persons" as District dele
gates was forwarded to the creden-
tials committee of the coming Ma
tional Democratic Convention last
night by Attorney John P Mullen.

New regulations governing television
broadcasts, whipped into shape by the
Federal Communications Commission,
govern televised commercial programs.
Although designed to keep television
on an experimental basis for a time,
the regulations permit a wider latitude
in testing such transmission under
commercial operating conditions.
Saying that synchronized oral broad
casting ''is considered an essential
phase of television broadcasting," the
rules provide that one license will be
issued for both types Of transmission.
To procure a license an applicant
must show he has program ''of re-
search and experimentation which in
dicates reasonable promise of substan-
tial contribution to the development
of the visual broadcast art" Licensee:
may not transmit any programs "for
which they receive, directly or indi-
rectly. any form of compensation"
When a regular commercial program
is "televised," the rules provide, all
commercial announcements not a part
of the entertainment continuity must
be eliminated from the television
broadcast except the mere statement
of the name of the sponsor.
The station, however, may transmit
an image of the slogan, trade mark
or product of the sponsor.

Tug,uelltO,vn PIanr,er Linked
To Early Settlers of Site

The fact that Hale Walker is town
planner of the Resettlement Admin
istration's "Tugwelltown" project in
the Maryland Greenbelt area has
prompted the r. A. to come up with
an interesting yarn-backed up by an
impressive historical background
about the early settlers Of the Green
belt.
Walker may be descendant Of q
family of Scots named Walker who
settled on the tract where the New
Deals big rehabilitation agency now
is building a community of low rental
homes for moderate salaried families.
Any how, here's the story.
1t seems this Walker family was
exiled from the British Isles because
Mother Walker was a Stuart and the
Stuarts were distinctly persona non
grata in England during that period.
The Walkers came to America and
settled on the tract. They obtained
a patent from Frederick, absolute
Lord and Proprietor Of the Province
of Maryland and Avalon, Lord Baron
Of Baltimore" and built a house
which they dubbed, 'Toaping Castle"
after their ancestral home abroad.
Generations passed and the Walker
clan grew and spread and migrated
westward and southwark. But one
branch chung resolutely to "Toaping
Castle" Finally, the pater familias
died, leaving a widow and a beautiful
daughter. So beautiful was she that
ecstatic accounts of her charm began
to circulate.
A road went by the Widow Walkers
place and passersby oft could see the
lovely daughter summing herself on the
front porch. Travelling statesmen be-
gan to detour their buggies from the
more travelled highways In order to
catch glimpse Of the beauty In the

Scout Rescued Trying to Earn
Mountain Climb Merit Badge
Fails to Inform, Mother,
HO,UeUer, of Plight on
IOO.FOOt Cliff.

Fourteen -year-old Tom Hebeler had
little or nothing to say today about
his future mountain climbing plans.
In fact, he seemed willing to pass
up the whole subject. His mother
learned of Toms adventures yester-
day from a photographer who acci-
IDENTIFY gave the story away.
Tom, who is a member of Boy
Scout Troop No. 612, was trying for
a mountain climbing merit badge on
a steep cliff in the National Geological
Park yesterday afternoon.
He got half way up the sheer. 100
foot face of the rock and reached an
impasse. Passers-by noticed his
plight and summoned aid.
Police at the Zoo let down a CO.
foot rope from the top of the cliff
and hauled Tom to safety. The Boy
Scout, when he got home, at 436 Tenth
street southwest, did not tell his
mother of the incident for fear of
alarming her.
A photographer went to the home
today to take Toms picture.
But why?" Toms mother de-
manded.
