against the Italians.
Now, however, the Negus' plans
were regarded here as uncertain.
It was pointed out his departure
on the Djibouti train did not
necessarily mean he would go to
Djibouti, and that he again might
60 into hiding to prevent his cap
ture by the Italians.
The British considered that If
Emperor SelaSsie reached Djibouti
he would no longer be regarded
as Emperor of Ethiopia. However
they declared the policy of peace
negotiated on the framework of
the League Of Nations still must
be pursued.
Situation Studied
The situation was considered
grave, and the serious complica-
tionS arising from it were being
considered Immediately by the
foreign office here.
There was no confirmation Of
reports the Emperor was going
either to Geneva or London, and
it was denied the Emperor had re.
ceived an invitation to attend the
League council meeting May II.
The British stated they have
taken adequate precautions for
the protection Of their nationals
in Adds Ababa, and also have
provided for others who may seek
protection in the legation COM
pound. It is four miles from
Adds Ababa, and is protected
with barbed wire and machine
guns.
There are 1000 British ma
tionals left there, most Of whom
are Indians and Somalis. There
are about 20 or 80 whites.
Sir Sydney reported "the En-
peror and his family departed for
Djibouti," the foreign office pre-
suming the family" included the
Empress, the crown prince and the
other royal children. The British
were fearful that during the inter
val between departure of the En-
peror and the arrival of the Ital-
ianS, expected tomorrow, there
would be grave disorders.

2,3OO MILLION

international News serrice

A 1890 million-dollar deficiency
bill, which includes 1,500 million
dollars to finance continuation Of
the Works Progress Administra-
ton program after July /, and
nearly 500 million dollars for
social security today had the ap-
proval Of the House appropria-
tions deficiency subcommittee.
With approval Of the full COM
mittee a virtual formality, House
leaders laid plans to hasten ad-
journment by calling the measure
up within 10 days.
The House subcommittee,
which is composed of ranking
members and is headed by Chair
man Buchanan CD Of Texas Of
the full committee, fatty rejected
all proposals for "earmarking"
the 1900 million-dollar fund.
All Under Hopkins
Under the agreement Of the
subcommittee the entire fund
would be used to continue WPA
projects under Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins.
The proposal of Representative
Bacon (R0 Of New York to ere.
ate a bipartisan, non-political or.
ganiZation to handle WPA funds
was rejected as impractical.
There was strong possibility Of
an amendment being written in,
with the approval of President
Roosevelt, "earmarking" 400 mil.
lion dollars for Public Works Ad.
ministration projects to be ad.
miniStered by Secretary of In
terror IckeS.
Representative Better CD Of
New York and others in the
"PWA bloc" claimed to have won
a tentative agreement from Hop
kins and Ickes for approval Of
q 400 million dollar PWA fund.
Up to President
This issue will finally be settled
by President Roosevelt at Q con-
ference early next week.
Hopkins, it was learned, objected
to administering PWA funds, as
serting that the money should be
turned over to IckeS.
While Ickes favored a half bill
lion dollars for PWA, he is willing
to accept a compromise figure Of
400 millions, members Of the
House group said.

OLD LINE TAX
BOOST URGED
BY KING
Senator Would Raise
300 Millions Without
New LeVies
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

AmLeEM8tHOnAl N0WB SeFvICO
A new tax plan which would
raise 800 million dollars more Fed
eral revenue by increasing present
rates in the existing tax structure
was being formulated today by
Senator King CD Of Utah, as a
substitute for President Roosevelt's
revolutionary corporation tax bill.
King would increase present in
come and corporation taxes. with
out imposing new taxes. His pro-
posal already has the Endorsement
Of business leaders, who branded
the Presidents new program as
destructive, confiscatory, discrimi-
natory and chaotic.
Protests Continue
A new host Of business leaders
were to appear before the Senate
Finance Committee with a con-
tinuing attack on the Admins
tration bill. Their vanguard
charged the bill, if enacted, would
drive small corporations out Of
business, give greater power to
the successful big corporations
and bring a "windfall" of business
to attorneys and accountants.
who would have to interpret it
to the average taxpayer.
Franklin Spencer Edmonds,
Philadelphia tax authority, was
the first to propose an increase
Of existing taxes, rather than the
imposition Of new and confus-
ing" taxes. Primarily, he said,
business demanded the Admins
tration reduce its extravagant
expenditures by 800 million dol
lars before asking industry to pay
new taxes.
But If new taxes must come,
he pleaded, Congress should re-
tain the present system, rather
than embark on a new and un-
tried scheme.
New Commodity Taxes
DR.. Joseph ]. Klein, speaking
for. the Public Accountants of
America, made the same plea. He
suggested new taxes on salt, sugar.
and coffee, to raise 355 million dol
lars q year before increasing pres
ent income and corporation taxes.
Senator King, however, would
impose no new taxes in his sub
stitute plan.
King would raise the normal
income tax rate from to 6 per
cent, impose slightly higher sur
taxes all up the line and reduce
exemptions from $2,50O to $4,000
for married persons and from
81 900 to $500 for single persons.
With this, he would increase the
corporation scale of taxes from
the present 1917 to Is per cent
range to q Is to 18 per cent
range.

ONDON, May emperor
Halle Selassie's spectacular fight
from Adds Ababa threw Europe
into confusion today.
It bitterly humiliated Britain,
exalted Italy and crushed hopes Of
all remaining believers in the
League of Nations, but at the same
time it opened the prospect Of one
more breathing space for peace on
this continent.
Escape of the Emperor utterly
dumbfounded all who had known
him and destroyed q great struc-
ture of illusions about the heroic
resistance of Ethiopia.
British Dismayed
Coming atop his declaration Of
yesterday that Ethiopia would
1lght to the last man, the Emper-
or'S apparent deScision to save his
own skin evoked shocked dismay
among those who had advocated
that this country risk war with
Italy to save him.
So strong is this feeling that
the hypothesis is now advanced
that he possibly may intend to
alight from the train on the way
to Djibouti and join Ras Nasibu,
his son-in-law, in a last stand
against the Italians advancing
against Harar.
This, however, is the sole re-
manning conceivable excuse his
friends can offer.
It is considered unavoidable
now that sanctions against Italy
must end, as there is no govern
ment in Ethiopia for sanctions to
defend and, once the emperor has
left the country, it is unthinkable
he could return.
Three-Day Journey
The truth about the emperor's
Intentions probably will be known
tonight. The train at this season
Of the "little rains" normally
takes three days to go from Adds
Ababa to Djibouti, travelling only
IN the daytime as it is a danger
Gus run at night due to the pos
sibility of waShoutS.
But it was likely the Emperor's
Escape Speciar' will drive
through at top speed to finish
the journey in "a hours, as in
the dry season, to escape the
Italians pressing toward the rail-
way.
The Italians, however, prob
ably would prefer to have the
Emperor escape, as they consider
his flight more valuable to 1tal-
ian prestige than would have
been his capture.
From the Italian point Of view,
It also will add to Europeans ap-
probation of Italian troops if
Adds Ababa experiences looting
before their arrival.
Saved Many Lives
Generously considered, the EN-
peror's flight only saved the coun-
try from futile last-ditch fighting,
which would cost the lives OF more
thousands.
AS a shrewd realist the Emperor
knew when Britain failed to close
the Suez Canal that he was
doomed. He then tried his own
audacious attack in the north and
was beaten, and now he has chosen
to follow no less an example than
Napoleon's after Moscow and
again after Waterloo.
Nevertheless the British, who let
the Emperor down, feel he has re-
sponded in kind.
The Lion of Judah at the start
Of the war was known to have
sums ranging around a half mil
lion dollars abroad. His friends
believed he had spent nearly all
on the war.
Now it remains to be- seen
whether the same spirit and fore
sight, which apparently prompted
his flight, had not also provided
funds for a comfortable existence
on the Riviera.

100000 FARMERS
ON SOIL PROGRAM
Still Time To Sign Work
Sheets in Some Counties,
Criswell Says

College Station, Raleigh, Aug. 81
In some counties, farmers who wish
to participate in the soil-improvement
program still have time to sign work
sheets.
IF you have not yet signed" said
J. F. Criswell, of State College in a
statement addressed to North Caro-
lima farmers, II suggest that you see
your county agent at once"
So far, some 100000 farmers have
signed the work sheets indicating
their desire to participate in the pro-
gram. Practically all of the sheets
have been approved and accepted by
the State AAA office.
Criswell also stated that the work
of measuring farmers fields to as
certain the extent to which they have
carried out provisions of the soil-im-
prOvement program is now under way
in nearly every county.
The amount of each farmers pay
ment will be determined by the acre
age he devotes to soil-conserving
crops, the amount Of land he shifts
from soil-exhausting to soi-conserv
ing crops, and the amount of soil
building practices he carries out.
The compliance work will probably
be completed early in September,
Criswell predicted.
The measurements are being made
in each county by, community commit
teemen and other trained men under
the supervision of the county agent
and the county committee.
Criswell added that all office work
in cOnnactiOn with. tho nrOgram ic he
ing pushed as rapidly as possible SO as
to avoid any unnecessary delay in
checking the growers performance
and determining the amount of their
payments.

IRALEIGH'S SCHOOL
HEAD DRAWS FIRE
Gaddy Rules Band Teachers Must
Know Their Stuff if They Ope-
rate in His Classes
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
I'm The Sir Walter Hotel,
BY j. c. ia SKERVILE


Raleigh, Aug. 27-City Superinten-
dent Claude F. Gaddy of Raleigh's
schools says his recent remarks on
the high school band and the neces-
sity for greater emphasis on some of
the ancient accents of education,
reading, writing and arithmetic, have
been very widely misunderstood.
And he has had a lot of trouble
about it. Old friends from towns in
which he has taught have been shock
ed. They think that in his dropping
the Raleigh band he has uttered a
sour note. He does not think so. He
has not dropped the band and he ia
vcrs music teaching. He has teachers,
several of them, instructing in music.
But they are teachers, regularly GER
tificated. Any man or woman who can
teach band music would be welcomed
as instructor to- the Raleigh high
school aggregation
Mr.. Gaddy says that is just the diff
ficulty. S. A. Braxaon, who has been
directing the Raleigh high school
band isn't member of the school
faculty HE is band promoter Mr..
Gaddy says, and good one, but there
is no provision in the Raleigh school
appropriation for this instruction.
There is probability of getting such
a teacher, one who has his regular
classes in other subjects. If So he
will teach.
AS to athletics, Mr.. Gaddy says he
has his coaches and they will teach
their regular branches in addition to
the athletics classes. The new super
intendent, who came to the city
schools from the State School Com
mission, of which he was assistant
secretary, has the professional slant
well developed. The whole controversy
he says, grew out of extra curricular
activities for which there was no
provision. The high school band will
continue and the teachers who teach
it must teach as well as toOt. That,
Mr.. Gaddy thinks, is all the issue
there is.

"Regardez, ma'mselle! You can

Gay put aside the silver hand

She had decided to wander
around the gardens for a while,

rang. Mrs. Wilson was ready now
to receive Miss Elwell.
Gay hesitated outside the sea-
green suite, wishing there were
some way to avoid the interview.
She didn't want to be thanked

covered silver dishes; Sevres china
to eat from; and Celeste, looking
like the little French maid in a
movie, to pour her coffee and wait
upon her.
But Gay had no zest for the
beautifully appointed meal. She
felt too concerned about Wayne;
too dispirited about herself, to en-

valley-lilies and camellias on the
bedside table, Tins greeting for
