 Geneva, May 13.-(UP).-League council members feared today that the situation threatening the leagues effectiveness If not it's life, depended for solution upon restora- ton of friendship between Italy and Great Britain. Preparing to adjourn until mid-June, leaving in force penalties exacted against Italy for It's war on Ethiopia, delegates felt that the league can do nothing to extricate itself from threatening position while Italy and Britain are estranged.
 Angry at Britain
 Hence they felt the anger of Italy at Britain overshadowed for the present the situation precipitated by 1taly's withdrawal from the coun- ell meeting. Italy has left the council table before during the Ital- ian- Ethiopian war. This time Pre- mier Benito Mussolini not only withdrew his delegation but ordered all Italian cooperation with the league suspended until the 50-oodd nations in the league repudiate their pledge to aid Ethiopia and agree to recognize his conquest. Delegates indicated q belief that the danger of a Mediterranean war is not as acute as 1t was months ago when the British fleet was sent there.
 Peace or Chaos
 This time their fear was more of the diplomatic situation--one which must in the end lead either to 6 consolidation of peace or to an ap- proach to chaos. They argued that until Italy and Britain reached a basis of agreement, the league must remain in It's present dilemma and that 1t will prove difficult If not im- possible to effect general European peace consolidation program Cen- tered in Germany, Europe's key na- ton in all present problems. Coun- ci members called meeting for 6 p. m. 0l a. m. EST) to discuss 6 dozen minor problems and adjourn for a month.
 Editor Forecasts Decision
 Rome, May i3.-(UP)--Roine to- day expected a dramatic proclama- ton by Premier Benito Missolini that Italy has resigned from the ] League of Nations. Il Duce's state- ment, scheduled to be made before the chamber of deputies tomorrow, was forecast by Virgiino Gayda, edi- tor of the Giornale DItalia, regard- cd as Mussolinis mouthpiece. Italy has had, enough of Geneva" the newspaper said. "The unjust ver- dict of the League of Nations has been accepted in Italy with discip- line but with reserved disdain. The departure of the Italian delegatoin from Geneva is significant of the resolute detachment of Italy from the league"
 Delegates Are Home
 Baron Pompeo Aloisi and his CO., delegates to the league arrived from Geneva at 3:15 p. m. He refused to comment on his precipitate de- parture yesterday, beyond saying Il Duce had ordered Italy to cease all participatoin in league activities. We were told to return to Rome. That is all we know" Aloisi said. Do you think you will ever return to Geneva?" Aloisi was asked. Aloisi was selent but another of the returnin gdelegates replied: T doubt 1t. The situation undoubtedly is serious" Mussolini is expected to announce tomorrow before an ex- traordinary session of the chamber of deputies whether Italy will re- main in the league.

Thus in the recent spectacular arrests of Karpis, Cam bbell and Mahan, Hoover knew they twould be apprehended hours before Ikhe arrests were made.

 "Eut whether in the actual cap- E,ire of the investigation leading up to 1t all the activities of the bureau |Centers around It's chief. Hoover fos- Iters this idea because he wants to keep secret the identities of the men who are working for him. As soon lnS the public learns the identity of .

News of the capture of Mahan in San Francisco Wag an- nounced by Hoover in Washington, as was that of Thomas II. Robin- son, Jr., in Glendale, Cal He cites this same theory as the reason for never allowing q o-man to re- main in one city long.
 Life Has Been His Job
 Hoover's life has been his job hver since he assumed dlrectorship of the bureau in 1924. The F'BT, at that time, was q comparatively un- Important unit of the federal gov ernment. As it's name implies 1t was purely an inveStlgatlVe unit; hts agents had no authority to ar- rest and were not authorized to carry weapons. The bureau re- mained so for many years. All the time, however, the youthful direc- kor-he was only % when he took over the directorship-was working toward his goal of 8 well-organized powerful and efficient laW-enforce- knent agency with full power to make arrests and shoot to kill fl necessary. What really made the goal possible was the Lindbergh Kidnapping. Enactment of the Lind bergh law, making Kidnapping a fed eral offense, followed.
 Goal Becomes Reality
 The goal became 8 reality in 1884 with the assistance of Attorney General Homer S. Cummings, As Wistant Attorney General Joseph B keenan, and public opinion out ragged by the wave of Kidnapping kacketeerIng and general crime which swept the country.
 Cummings recommended a series bf 12 anti-crime bills to Congress giving the FBI the power of arrest Authorizing FBI agents to carry weapons, and greatly broadening the Hist of crimes which were consid- ered federal in nature. During the closing rush of the 1884 Congress .Ehe bills all were enacted.

Most of the injured, police and hospitals reported, were crushed in the flight of patrons down the narrow stair- way from the second-story rendez- vous. Police and fire department of- ficials said an Investigation of the fire and of safety provisions of the club would be started immediately.
 Flremen Overcome
 Three firemen were overcome, two were said to be in Q critical condi- ton. Captain of police inspectors Charles Dullea inspected the preIn- ises after the fire and issued the following statement: "This is crim- inal. There was no air in the place. There was only one exit and en- trance at the foot of steep stair way with an abrupt right angle turn. All the windows were boarded up.
