Halle Se1assie Protests
Use of Poison Gas

IRON his field headquarters In
L Dessye Emperor Halle Selassie sent
to the League of Nations a vigorous
protest against the war methods Of
the invading Italians. The emperor
charged specifically that Italian flyers,
in raining explosives on the southern
army of his son-in-law, Ras Desta
Demtu, near Dolo, used poison gas and
destroyed Swedish Red Cross am
bulance laden with sick and wounded.
A special meeting of the Swedish
Red Cross was held in Stockholm to
take action in this matter.
The italian government in Rome as
serted the aerial bombardment was
fully justified by the alleged behead'
ing of two italian aviatOrs by the
Philippians after the flyers had crashed
at Daggah Bur in Ogaden. The COM
munique also said it was well known
that ethiopian chieftains take shelter
under Red Cross signs when they see
Italian airplanes."

Skeletons in Armor Suits
Are Found on Battle Site

Skeletons fully arrayed in medieval
armor have been found in excava-
lions in the vicinity Of Venice, all In
perfect state of preservation. Work.
ers engaged on excavations for the
new great canal which is under con-
struction in the picturesque district
surrounding Stra, came across what
undoubtedly must have been the
scene of a great battle IN the days
of the ancient Venetian republic.
One of the many skeletons in ar
NOR was found to have sword still
between the ribs. Presumably the
man fell in battle and has lain undis-
turbed all these centuries. Quanti-
ties of ancient weapons and armor
also were found, together with beau
tifully modelled vases which, when
the centuries old dirt had been
washed away, were found to be paint
ed by hand with designs and figures,
the colors being perfectly preserved.

addressed to the people of the United
States, who by the millions were listen
ing in on their radios. Partisan Opln-
ion of his message is perhaps worth
less. OF course his supporters praised
it highly, and his opponents were
equally emphatic in derogation.
Democrats and Republicans alike
commended the Presidents opening
paragraphs in which he boldly con-
demned the aggression of Italy and
Japan, though without naming those
nations; and there was little dissent
from his assertion that the United
States must maintain its neutrality
while seeking to discourage the use by
belligerenr nations of any and all
American products calculated to facil-
itate the prosecution of war in guam
titles over and above our normal ex-
ports to them in time of peace"
The remainder of the message, de-
voted to domestic affairs. was devoted
chiefly to a belligerently worded de-
Tense Of the New Deal measures Of the
administration, an attack on those who
oppose them and a spirited passage
in which Mr.. Roosevelt defied and
dared his critics to move for the re-
peak of those measures instead Of
.shiding their dissent In cowardly
cloak OF generality" In only two
paragraphs did the President dwell on
athe state Of the nation" In these
he said that after nearly three years

BALTIMORE, April 10 UN.S0.
The magistrate wouldn't say John
Lotz had lots Of wives, but he
admitted he had one too many
Mrs. Lotzes living with him at
the same time.
Until today, when Lott took up
a bachelors cell at the Maryland
House of Correction for one year
for assault, he had been living
in relative harmony with his d.
vorced wife and his 19-year-old
bride. His divorced wife and
their son, 10, lived in one section
of the house, and he and his
bride and his daughter, 6-the
court had awarded him her Gus
tody-lived in another.
But when Mrs. Lott No. 2
asked Mrs. LotZ No. / to lend
her an electric iron and she re-
fused, Lott appeared. The testi-
mony showed he sided with his
new wife and hurled a chair
which struck his former wife.
She had him arrested.

SLASH IN HIGH
TAX RATES
WEIGHED

As the result Of persistent at
tacks, House Ways and Means
Committee DEM crats today
weighed the question Of slaShing
the proposed high rates on cor
porations putting earnings into
surplus.
Under the plan devised by the
tax subcommittee, a corporation
which earned 100000 in one year
and retained $57,500 in its sur
plus to pay debts or expand Its
plant, would pay tax Of $42.50O.
Bankruptcies Feared
The committee had before 1t
claims that the heavy rates would
drive many small manufacturing
establishments into bankruptcy
and prevent the development Of
new industries.
Members disclosed that serious
consideration was being given to
a change in the rate schedule,
which ranges from 4 to 421a per
cent on corporations earning
above $4,000 a year, based on the
amount retained as surplus.
Democratic members, however,
were definitely committed to franz
ing a bill based upon the Admins
tration'S plan.
Lamneck Move Fails
In a final effort to halt the
measure, Representative Lamneck
CD Of Ohio proposed an increase
in the present 121a to is per cent
corporation income tax to 22h
per cent. It was rejected, Z to 2.
Every proposal for modification
Of the program, however, was met
by the insistence Of Treasury Of
ficials on raising the billion dollars
sought by the President.
