De Bono Admits
Rome Planned
War Long Ago

PARIS (CNA) How RIussolini
planned the conquest of Ethiopia
more than two years before Ital-
ian troops invaded the East Arr
can country Is revealed in two
books published in Rome last week
as italian troops renewed their
drive to bring all the uneonquered
parts of Ethiopia under the fascist
heel.
The books, Preparation and
First Operations" by Marshal EN-
lilo de Bono, who began the rob
Der campaign, and 1.-THE War of
Ethiopia, by Marshal Pietro Ba-
deglio, Italian Chief Of Staff, both
have a preface by Mussolini. Mar
shall Badoglio succeeded de Bona
in Ethiopia after thu latter failed
to break the resistance Of the ar
mics Of Emperor Halle Selassie.
On the very day of the joint
publication of the two books, Mus
solini's claims to complete sub
jugation" Of the Ethiopian people
were given the lie by reports from
Adds Ababa that italian Viceroy
Marshal Rodolfo GRAHAM had
launched new offensive against
the Ethiopian Government in Wes-
tern Europe and the guerilla fight
ers, headed by Ras Desta Demtu
and other tribal leaders, in SOUTH
ern Ethiopia. Dispatches from the
Sudan reported that the Ethiopian
people are fighting heroically to
check the latest fascist drive. IT.
allan reports admit that there are
fifty thousand Philippians in the
field with artillery, machine guns
and anti-tank guns. For six
months, although using the most
inhuman methods, Mussolini's ar
my has been unable to subdue 81
Ethiopia.
In his book, Marshall De Bono
reveals that he and II Duce agreed
on the war of conquest at the be-
ginning of 1888 and Immediately
began their preparations. De Bono
was assigned the task Of conduct
ing military preparation in Erit-
rea. italian East African colony,
AID of provoking the Philippians
into an attack on the italians. In
the later he failed completely as a
result of the shrewd craftsmanship
of Emperor Halle Selassie. His
book reproduces telegram he sent
to Mussolini, saying that the Eth
iopians would not attack, and that
the war must be begun by the It
alians.
In 1884, De Bono engineered the
Wal-Wal incident, in which the It
alians penetrated far into Ethiop-
ian territory and then claimed they
were attacked by the Philippians
on italian territory. This provoca-
ton failed also when British offic-
ials with the Ethiopian force de-
MED that the latter had attacked
the fascists. The Wal-Wal Incl
dent was used, however, by Mus
solini as a pretext to dispatch adj
ditional troops to Eritrea and It
allan SomaliJand on the grounds
that Italy was menaced by Ethi-
opia.

HOLLYWOOD, April L. Wal
lace Berry has everyone in stitches
with the story Of his ride across
the country in a station wagon.
Not hearing him tell it is missing
half the fun. but here are some
of the highlights.
The stars little band consisted
Of Mrs. Berry, Carol Ann, two
nurses and Bill Newberry Of the
M. G. M. studio. They all rode
in the station wagon, which is
painted blue and looks like a bus
with five doors.
The resemblance to a bus was
what caused all the trouble. The
guardian of a toll bridge in Mis-
souri, miStook the conveyance for
a public carrier and refused to let
it pass the bridge. They tried to
convince him that Berry was the
movie star, but Wallie was wear
ing a derby, Of all things, and
didn't look like himself. The old
man never did admit it was Berry,
but finally agreed that the sta
ton wagon might not be a bus
and let the party through.
AS it turned out, their troubles
had only started. Drivers of the
real BUSES along the road decided
that here was a bootleg rival, so
they tipped off the cops. Berry
was stopped almost 20 times by
officers and had to talk his way
through.
The payoff came in Wagon
Mound, N. Mex, dot on the map,
where Berry stopped for gas. Three
Indians, who had been waiting for
a Las Vegas bus, started to board
the station wagon. The film stars
whole party gave them arguments,
but the Indians refused to be i'm
pressed and. finally, in despera-
ton, Wallie let them come aboard.
When told that Katharine Hep
burn is considering a trip across
the country in her station wagon,
Wallie said she is crazy if she tries
it.
Jack Oakie's ma is very sweet
about his marriage to Venita Var
den.
I've had him for 30 years and
have nothing to complain about"
she said. Il guess Jacks really in
love this time, for that boy of mine

7 Million Have

If the entire population of Wash

theatrical roof and two perform

these two vast audiences still
would not equal the total number
of people who have seen this epic

and based on the novel by Erskine

breaking hit of Broadway entered
its third year, where more than a
million people have paid OF see the
now famous American Hamlet"

BRILLIANT PRODUCTION
Your critic spent Tuesday night
at st. Paul's hall watching per-
Torrance of the Blackfriars Guild
in catherine the Valiant. s'
Frankly I was amazed at the
beauty of Rev. Urban Nagle's well
written ecclesiastical play and the
real professional finish which a
talented cast gave to its interpre'
tation.
Catherine the Valiant" tells
the story of the wise. discerning
and devoted nun who swayed the
Beaufort Pope, his Holiness, Greg.
ory XII, to return the Papal seat
to Rome after the momentouS
days at Avignon. It was a de-
cision that changed the destiny
Of the world.
In the writing of it Playwright
Maggie has paid careful attention
to eccliastical history while bring
ing out the full value of it's dra-
matte situations. An incidental
romance has been skillfully woven
into the plot, adding tremendously
to it's interest while keeping COM
pletely in the mood of reverence
and dignity that lends charm to
the writing.
I have never seen an amateur
production more skillfully directed,
and Angela Keir really deserves a
bow with the competent cast who
moved through the five acts last
night with all the assurance Of
Broadway troupers. Settings and
costumes reflect the highest credit
on the Guilds craftsmen, both for
their simplicity and their evident
authenticity.
Mary Crowley played Catherine
of Siena, a role of star stature,
long and exacting in its demands
