Recommendations
Also Hit by EIgen

Recommendations by the spe-
cial house traffic subcommittee
for construction Of pedestrian
and vehicular tunnels as means
of relieving traffic congestion In
the downtown area today evoked
unfavorable comment from Dis
trict officials.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
expressed his opposition to the
subcommittee suggestion for
pedestrian tunnels at Fifteenth
Street and New York Avenue
Northwest and Twelfth and Four
tenth Streets on Pennsylvania
Avenue. He also took a slap at
pedestrian control regulations
which the committee advocated.
He declared:

pose these tunnels would serve.
If people won't pay any atten-
ton to the pedestrian lights with
which we are now experiment.
ing, 1 think it would be a waste

committee.
Riley E. Elgen, chairman of the
Public Utilities Commission, OPP
posed the subcommittee sugges-
ton for constructing underpasses
at Thomas and Dupont Circles
solely for street cars. He expressed
the belief that unless the under
passes were constructed for all We
hicular traffic it would impede
the traffic flow.
He said the Commission was In
favor of the recommendation to

He also asked whether "any at
tempt to do so would be considered
an unfriendly act, and be treated
accordingly, and whether, in view
of the changed conditions caused
by developments in the air, the
question Of strengthening Britain's
defenses in the Suez Canal area
would be considered in consulta
ton with the Egyptian govern
ment?"
In Separate CategOries
A hush fell over the House as
the stocky prime minister rose
to give his answer. He said:
Egypt and Palestine are in
separate categOries. So far as
Egypt is concerned, His Males
tvs government notified the
powers, including Italy, in 1922
that they 1.-THE members of the
British government) had de-
cided to terminate the prOtec-
tOrate over Egypt, and that
Italy recognized that country
as a sovereign and independ-
ent State.
I'm so notifying the powers,
His Majesty'S government made
it clear in unmistakable terms
that they would regard as an
unfriendly act any attempt at
interference in the affairs Of
Egypt by any pawer, and
would consider any aggression
against the territory of Egypt
as an act to be repelIed."

international News Service


The unexpected decision Of Gov
Herbert H. Lehman Of New York
not to be a candidate for re-elec-
ton this year is q severe blow to
the Democratic hopes Of carrying
New York in the presidential cleo
ton.
Publicly, the New Dealers won't
admit this: privately they do. As
a vote getter, Governor Lehman.
able, popular Jew, has had few
equals in the Empire State. Two
years ago he carried New York
State by some 800, 900 votes, which
is 100000 more than President
Roosevelt polled in 1882.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is deeply diSap'
pointed at Governor Lehman'S de-
cision. New York Democrats in
Congress are equally dismayed.
They frankly fear a struggle over
who Is to be the gubernatorial
candidate that will be so bitter as
to menace the party chances next
fall. With Lehman heading the
State ticket they had no such
fears, for he proved his vote-get-
ting ability too often to admit OF
doubt.
Upstate New York is normally
overwhelmingly Republican. In
1892, thousands Of upstate Repub-
licans deserted their traditional
moorings and voted for Roosevelt
and Lehman. New York city, with
its large Jewish population, Swelled
the total. Two years later, in 1884.
Lehman was overwhelmingly re-
elected and by larger figures than
in 1882.
The secret fear Of the Roose-
welt Democrats now is that up
state New York may return in
November to its traditional Re
publican bent, which coupled
with a sullen and antiRooSevelt
Tammany in the greater city,
might well prove fatal combina-
ton.
Surprise Move
Governor Lehman's announce
ment took the Administration by
surprise. There had been no ad-
vance intimation of it in Wash
ington any more than in Albany.
President Roosevelt had conf
IDENTIFY expected Governor Lehman
to run again. In fact, he jour-
neyed to New York several weeks
ago and personally launched the
Lehman campaign in a speech.
Postmaster General Democratic
National Chairman State Chair
man James A. Farley was equally
taken by surprise. Farley himself
is credited with gubernatorial
ambitions, although these were to
be suppressed until 1898.

France Defies III Duce
On Troops Removal

Ihad been in the employ Of the
Ethiopian armed forces.
A vigorous denial was made
Immediately by the consul. Bon
ner, he pointed out, had been
bitten by a mad dog, and was
on his way from Adds Ababa to
Alden when he was taken off the
train for Djibouti at Dire Dawa
and arrested.
Later inquiries by the consulate
drew from the Italians the myS-
ferrous response:
"Mr. Bonner disappeared two
nights ago."
The British foreign office is
now pressing Italy for amplifica'
ton Of that cryptic announce
ment. In view of reports from
Ethiopia of wholesale executions
by the Italian military authori-
ties, grave fears are felt for Bon
ner.
Urge Troops Removal
Italy is pressing for withdrawal
Of additional British and French
troops sent to Adds Ababa at the
outbreak of the Italo-Ethiopian
war, International News Service
learned today.
The Italian government, It was
disclosed, has informally made
known to the British and French
foreign offices that Italy would
appreciate withdrawal of the
troops from the Ethiopian capital,
now under control Of Italian
forces.
The British and French troops
were sent to Adds Ababa to
guard their respective legations.
