that he considered an alleged var- iation in theories Lindbergh ex- pressed about the murder of his infant son as vital subject to be investigated before Hauptmann Is executed.
 Lindbergh said when Hauptmann was first arrested that he believed a gang kidnapped his son, Hoffman re- called, but testified ct the Bronx carpenters trial that he believed Hauptmann had no accomplice.
 Hoffman demanded that Schwartz kopf completely reopen his investi- gation of the Kidnapping and at- tempt to answer a long list of ques- tions that he submitted as unan- swered by Hauptmann's conviction.
 Hauptmann Stands Alone
 Schwarzkopf answered that he would use all his resources to com- ply, but Attorney General David T. Wilentz, Hauptn1ann's prosecutor asserted that "Hauptmann and Hauptmann alone" was the Lind bergh kidnaper. Wilentz and Schwarzkopf conferred two hours and issued Q terse statement that nothing the governor had said dis closed new evidence land the case stands as is."
 Hoffman repeated that he would like to have Dr. John P. (Jafsie) Condon questioned, but said he had no intention of seeking his return from Central America, where he is vacationing.

 Am Amusing Side
 The investigation here has not been without it's amusing side. Law- yefs relate an anecdote in which one of the city's most prominent att torncys figures. He is man re- spected by the whole community and has held the esteem of asso- ciateS and the general public for years. Over Q long period of time he acted as counsel for a Water. bury man, doing considerable bus iE1ess for him. Not so long ago the client was injured in an accident and as soon as he was on his feet he hobbled to the attorneys oflce. The lawyer instituted suit for his client, only to have one of the in- vestigators begin an inquiry to find out how the lawyer had secured the case. The attorney, incidentally, is one who doesn't have to stir from his offlce chair to get business; he just has to sit down and business comes to him.
 Lawyers Become Wary
 With the investigation underway, lawyers are wary, not because most of them have anything to conceal but because they fear that anything they do might find an investigator at their heels, lmisconstruing their actions or questioning their motives. Most of them welcome the probe. believing that its completion will rout the "shysters' and leave the profession on higher plane in the minds of the public.
 The report, true or not, that an insurance company had written to prospective jurors for the local com mon pleas and superior courts and declared that higher auto insurance rates for Waterbury were due to excessive" verdicts handed down by juries left local lawyers furious. Criminal" "disgraceful," "deliber- ate interference with the courts"-- these were some of the descriptions given of the alleged letters.
 One Attorney Ready
 At least one lawyer was believed ready to bring the matter up for ac- tion at the next meeting of the Wa terbury Bar Association. This would mean an investigation to determine the truth of the report; if proven true, 1t would probably result in a request for action by the entire state bar.
 Meantime, the special irlvestiga- ton into alleged corrupt and un- ethical practices will go on, with the bar and the public waiting for the revelations it may bring with its completion.

A BovE the valleys and ridges A that terminate the Appalachian range to the south, the Great Smoky Mountains reveal five diff. ferent earth movements. First came vast molten masses that cooled and formed much of the oldest rock in this area.
 Then . long north and south basin developed, and deep layers of gravel. sand, mud. and lime were deposited. in it. Following this came an upward thrust, and the early Appalachians were born.
 Streams then began wearing down the mountains. and . vast plain was formed. But the Great Smoky Mountain area. un. touched by these streams. rose even higher by another uplift. Today. 1t Is set aside as . nation. al park.

Mussolini To Make
 Diplomatic Attack
Continued from Page D

Germany are pledged to protect, by force if necessary, the existing Ger. French Belgian frontier.
 S'' International Situation It was believed that the meeting would be concerned entirely witt the international situation, with ( summary by Mussoliiai of recent de- velopments and Q report by Dint 0randi, ambassador at London, oi talks he had with Sir Robert Van. sittart, permanent under secretary of the British foreign offlce, Thurs day, and Anthony Eden, foreign sec- retary, yesterday.
 The meeting was of particular importance because oil experts ot selected league nations will meet at Geneva Monday to consider the ad- visibility and practicability of the oil embargo, most drastic of penal ties considered against Italy for its war on Ethiopia.
 By fortunate coincidence with the grand council meeting, Mussolini's own newspaper, the Popolo Italia of Milan, in an editorial presumably approved by the premier, asserted today that further league penalties might automatically develop into blockade and that Q blockade would mean war.
 Nations win See Mistake
 "Those who think that war by many nations against Italy would be ar easy affair would be mistaken" saic the editorial, because Italy hal prepared for a long time for any eventuality and will defend herself with nails and teeth"
 The editorial Is entitled "An Ap' peal to the Students of Europe"
 While Mussolinis newspaper ap' peaied to the students of Europe, thu youth of Italy turned out today fol Q gigantic celebration of the 13tf anniversary of the fascist militia which now numbers 600000. The celebration was designed t' impress anew on every Italian tha he must be fused completely int the citizen soldiery. Only on Thurs day the cabinet decreed that ever. male between II and 32 years o age must carry Q card testifyinl as to his degree of physical fitnes for military duty. The card will b necessary in applying for jobs.
 As part of the celebration, specia programs were broadcast over tn nation. Militia divisions in Eas Africa broadcast programs to tn homeland, and received program from Italy.
 ETHIOPIA REPORTS VICTORY
 Addis Ababa, Feb. 1.-(UP)-Ai official communique asserted todd. that 5000 Italians were killed il a battle on the northern front tha started January 2l and ende' Thursday.
 The first communique asserted that Q fascist blackshirt militia di vision was wiped out. A later on referred specifically to the 'Fascis 2eth of october Brigade"
 The October 28th division | named in honor of the fascist narcf on Rome--the most important dat in fascist history.
 About 5000 Italians were wound. cd, the communique said, and Il tanks, 33 field guns, i76 machine g,,na q A1K rifles and many urigon.

(Continued from Page lJ repeatedly warned may again be- come an issue in event of foreign war. They involved interference with American mail to and from other neutral countries: American trade with neutrals. and American ships operating between the United States and neutral ports.
 The present neutrality bill, expir- ing Feb. 20, does not touch upon any of these problems.
 Lansing Irritated
 Lansing was particularly irritated by the British governments neglect to reply to American protests over violation of neutral rights. The tel. e-ram which he drafted on Sept. 22, le16, for dispatch to the Amer icaYl embassy in London, for unofh. ciai transmittal to the British for- eign office, but which was counter manded by President Wilson, said in part:
 Some of the British practices, which are causing increasing irrita- ton, cannot, 50 far as I am able to judge, have any material effect on the outcome of the war. The re- moval of reservists from American vessels on the high seas, the search- ing of American vessels in territore ial waters of the Philippines, the censorships of genuine letter-cor- respondence, the refusal of cable privileges in legitimate neutral trade, and the blacklisting of Amer ican business houses are some of the matters which are carried on now with as much, If not greater, vigor than before this government pro. tested against them.
 Great Britain Surprised
 "When Q remonstral1ce is made by the United States, 1t is freQquently melt by the argument that, 'con- sidering the American attitude toward Germany. Great Britain is surprised that the United States should take such 0 view of the Brit. ish action complained of. It would seem needless to point out that the United States Is not fighting Great Britain's warfare against subina. rines.
 If the British government is ex- pecting an attitude of benevolent neutrality on our part-position which is not neutral and which Is not governed by the principles of neutrality--they should know that nothing is further from our inten- ton"

City Attorneys Are
 Under Secret Probe

bring to light the offenders and un- cover concrete proof against them. No ofacial report of the progress of the investigation has been made, as far as could be 6scertained to-day. As the probe proceeds, it is believed that the procedure followed here will be similar to that used in New Haven. In the Elm City the lawyers against whom charges were placed were haled into special hearings, with Q retired justice deciding on the merits of the cases. Assistant States Attorney Lorin Willis of Fairfield county was called in to act as special prosecutor.
 Help Discredlt Profession
 Lawyers who were questioned in regard to the situation had no l1esi- tation, on promise that they would not be quoted personally, in declar- ing that a small minority of local lawyers has helped discredit the en- tire profession in Waterbury. All ex- pressed the hope that the investi- gation would reveal the minority in its true colors and exonerate the rest of the local bar.
 The probe here, as elsewhere, has the implicit support of bar associa- tions. The bar organization is not participating in the probe, allow ing the investigation to come from sources completely outside their ranks. None of the investigators is a local man; all are believed to be members of the corps brought to this state from Boston when the inc quiry was begun in New Haven.
 Like New Haven Probe
 The probe in New Haven started as result of the much-publicized accident in which 8 drunken driver hit Q mother and child, killed them, and then sped away. It was dis- closed that the husband and father had been approached and had been promised an advance payment if he allowed Q certain lawyer to handle the case for him.
 Incidents being investigated in Waterbury fall into typical pat terms. The ambulance chasing claim on the part of lawyers is heard not too rarely. Others are accused of having runners" in their employ to secure cases for them. Another alle- gation is that of going to saddened homes, after a fatal or serious auto accident, and while one near and dear to them is dead or lying seri- ously injured, seeking to "get the case"
 Probe Financing Secret
 The financing of the Investigation is not known, but the report that major insurance companies are sup- porting or helping support the probe drew acid comments from lawyers. Said one: Insurance com- panies' hands aren't so clean in this respect, either. They should look ct themselves first, and study the tac- tics of some of their adjusters be- foro supporting an investigation of the bar. I've known cases where ad- justers practically forced settle ments on injured persons before the poor victims had come out of the daSe. I've known cases, too, where adjusters deliberately changed the testimony of witnesses in seeking to settle accident cases. believe. in any investigation that will bring the wrong -doers to the attention of the public, and I have no objection to this one, but I can't see where in-

 Ethiopian losses were estimated at 1,200 killed or wounded.
 "The Italians, @ formidable group under General iamanti, was anni- Inflated along with the Fascist 28th of October Brigade" the com- munique said. Repulse Italians It was added that in the first great battle the Ethiopians, pitted against the regular Italian army in massed formation, was able to re- pulse the Italians and vanquish them by use of their own tactics. (An Italian fascist militia divi- sion numbers about 12000 men. There are two brigades to Q divi- sion, so that on the basis of the Ethiopian casualty figures many more men than brigade would necessarily be involved. General Diamanti is an Italian commander who has been on the northern front since the start of the war) The theater of action was given by the communicate as north of Abbi Addi, which is in the Tembien re- zion northwest of Akale, peak of the Italian front.
 The Ethiopian communiques as- serted that Italian position at the villages of Chou Amberra, Erba- woine and Kesse Damba were taken. Information in usually reliable quarters was that an Ethiopian field commander in the south. with thou lsands of fast camels, had reached the Dorya river valley where Gen. Rudolfo Graziani drove westward recently, and hopes by an encircl- ing movement to cut of supplies of the Italians in the advanced post of Neghelli.
 But the action in the north ab- sorbed attention.
 In Badoglio Zone
 It is in this area that Marshal Pietro Badogiio, Italian commander in chief, has been active for many days, trying to drive Ethiopian guerilla bands from their positions which menace the Italian communi- cation back to Adigrat and Aduwa.
 Ethiopian losses, the ofiicial com- munique said. were estimated at i,200 dead and wounded.
 A communique issued at Lessye, Emperor Halle Selassie's war head quarters between Addis Ababa and the front, said that e great battle began on the northern front Jan- uary 2l with an Ethiopian attack.
 Afer e few days, the communique said, the tide (against the Ethiop- ians) and the Italian flercely coun- ter attacked with tanks and field artillery.
 On January 2s-Tuesday---the communique continued, the Ethiop- ians again swept forward, entirely destroying one blackshirt division.
 The Italians retreated, 1t was as- serted, leaving the field filtered with dead, weapons and ammunition. NOT A WORD OF TRUTH
 Rome, Feb. 1.-(UP)--A serni-ofi1- cial spokesman said today that there was mot an ounce of truth" in Ethiopian claims to e great vic. tory over 0 fascist militia division on the northern front.
 Today's war communique, No. li2, said:
 Marshal Badoglio telegraphs that there is nothing noteworthy to re- port on the Eritrean and sonali. land fronts" Premier Benito Mussolini re. ceived in audience at his Venice palace today all generals and col- onels of Fascist militia--a division of which was asserted by Ethiopians to have been wiped out--on the oc- casion of the 18th anniversary of tl,a Ro,,t1fla tin,1 ,f tia militia
