WOMAN PATRIOTS
END CONFERENCE
Return to Homes as Repub.
Iicans Protest Withdrawal
of Marine Band.

Still little aghast at the storm Of
political controversy that broke over
their meeting. the majority of dele
gates to the Women's Patriotic Con-
ference on National Defense were
homeward bound today amid the
dwindling echoes of strident Republi-
can protests.
Chairman Henry P. Fletcher Of the
Republican National Committee and
Representative Darrow, ranking Re-
publican member of the Naval Affairs
Committee, added their complaints last
night to those already voiced against
the action of two naval officers. a
Marine officer and the Marine Band
In walking out on the conference after
Bainbridge Colby, former Secretary of
State, had attacked the New Deal in
an address.
Darrow has introduced q resolution
calling on Secretary Swanson to say
by whose authority the Marine Band
Cancelled its concert. Republican
Leader Smell yesterday lashed at the
withdrawal on the House floor.
''They simply can't take it," Fletcher
declared, in a statement referring to
the withdrawal of the officers as "typi-
cal of the attitude of the New Deal to
criticism. He added:
This boycott was followed up by
an even more petty show of spite
against the woman patriots. Just as
the Marine Band was ready to open
the meeting, orders came from on
high for the band to withdraw-and
withdraw they did.
80 this Is America!
perhaps the Marine Band will next
be ordered not to play My Country,
IT'S of Thee It might be regarded
rs criticism of the New Deal"
The conference adjourned quietly
yesterday, apparently taking little
notice of the storm which followed
the address by Colby, who charged
the administration with conspiracy
to nullify the Constitution"

ROME, January 30.-Italy's Council
Of Ministers frightened its internal
military and economic policies today
in approving three new wartime
measure as Premier Mussolini dis
closed new road construction plans
by $4,000 new workers in East Africa.
The cabinet voted approval to three
new measures which recalled World
War procedure. They were:
l. Requisition of all wool from the
next shearing for firms providing mil
itary supplies.
2. Registration Of the physical status
and military training Of all Italian
citizens in booklets to be carried by
individuals.
3. Creation Of new Alpine division
and q new Alpine artillery regiment
and rezoring Of the national cara.
binieri into eight instead Of ive mill
tary zones.
Enables New Advance.
The construction program along the
Ethiopian fronts, II Duce declared.
will enable the Fascist troops to hold
all conquered territory along the
Ethiopian fronts and provide high
ways over which the Blackshirted
columns may advance at the close
of the "big rains
The registration program, recon-
mended by the premier himself to his
ministers at the start Of fresh series
of conferences, was interpreted in in
formed circles as a move to improve
the physical condition Of the nations
man power.
The changes in the national police
organization will mean no additional
expense. the premier told his minis
ters, and changes IN commanding per-
sonnel are tc be made to increase the
carabinieri's efficiency.
The premier reviewed with the cabi-
net italian aspects of the French po-
litical situation and discussed respon-
sibility OF the British fleet in the Med
iterraneen for the possible spread Of
Itaiys Colonial action" to Europe.
Will Meet Councils.
The premier is to meet with the
Fascist grand council Saturday and
with the supreme council of defense
next Tuesday.
Political sources said both the grand
council and the defense council would
give careful study to the Mediter-
ranean defense agreement between
Great Britain, France, Greece, Turkey
and Yueoslsvia, against which Italy
has protesteo to the League Of Ma
tions powers.
Inform ed sources. meanwhile, said
Italian t.ade leaders were eager to re-
vive a trade mission to the United
States w:.ict failed last year, linking
this idea with an editorial in Musso-
lini's newspaper, Popolo D'Italia, which
urged new trade relations with New
World countries.
American objections to Italian
quota proposals baked the former ne
gotiations toward an expansion of
Italo- American trade, however, and
informed observers expressed belief
that the United States neutrality
stand nov would hinder any new
move toward an agreement.
