If the Negus refuses to abdicate, it was said the Italians have strong reasons to believe" that the Rases would hold council and depose him. It was further intimat- ed that the Italians already have communicated with certain Rases and obtained their consent to the emperor's abdication.
 Settlement Met Italy
 It was stated that the abdication would be followed by a settlement in which Italy would annex the territory already occupied. with slight additions in Southern Ethio- pia. Italy would respect Britain's interest in Lake Tana-source of the Blue Nile--and Frances interest in the Addis Ababa-D jibouti rail- way. Ethiopia, under new emper- or, would be placed under the leagues protection. Direct conflr- nation of the report could not be obtained. Official circles merely said Italy had made no peace offers "to the Negus." An official spokes- man said tonight that with victory in its grasp, Italy does not need to make proposals.

GAINESVILLE
CLEARS SITES
TO REBUILD

GAINESVILLE Ca, April 9
GN.S0.-Having pal6 final tribute
to more than $50 persons who died
when a tornado swept this north
Georgia city last Monday, resi-
dents of Gainesville today turned
to the enormous task of rebuilding
their homes and places of business.
The streets were rapidly being
cleared of debris, and as funeral
professions filed through the
storm-devastated town, building
sites were being cleared for new
structures.
Some Identified
All day yesterday the funeral
professions passed through the
wreckage from the morgues to the
cemeteries. Many of the funeral
services were conducted from par.
tially-demolished churches. Others
were held in private homes that
had escaped the storm.
Funerals for the unidentified
dead had not been arranged early
today. Officials expressed the
hope that relatives of most Of
them would be found.
Orphans Cared For
The Red Cross plunged into
the task of ascertaining how
many children have been made
orphans by the storm
Many such children already
have been found, but an addi-
tional search, relief workers said,
undoubtedly will reveal many
more. Several children. still un-
identified, are being held in hos
pitfalls.
At least 1000 residents of the
city are disaster sufferers who
must be taken care Of, William
c. Hunt, assistant division mana
ger of the Red Cross, stated fol-
lowing a conference with relief
workers.

BETTER STRAIN
OF HOGS URGED

The greatest need of the hog
farmer today is better hogs, accord
ing to w A. Craft. in charge OF
swine Investigations in the United
States Department of Agriculture
Bv this he means hogs more eff
cient in producing pork OF hlgh
quality.
Slow growth and low efficiency in
using feed are expensive and COM
mon traits in any breed of swine.
Records kept by the bureau of ami
NAL industry at the National Agri-
cultural Research Center, Beltsville,
Md. show that the feed needed to
make 100 pounds of gain varies
among litters within a bred from
about 1926 to more than 500 pounds.
Similarly, on Identical rations and
similar management, the time re-
quired by pigs within a litter to
reach weight of 225 pounds, varies
as much as 100 days.
Although these figures represent
extremes. said Dr. Craft, they sug-
gest the opportunity for cutting
costs with better hogs, hogs that
not only appear to be good but
have in addition the bility to make
high-quality pork cheaply n d
quickly. the ability to produce large
litters, and the ability to transmit
these characteristics to their Off
spring.
Students of genetics know that
the genes. the deternIiners of char
acters and the way in which they
are combined in breeding. determine
a hogs value as a feeder and a
breeder. Geneticists hope in time
to have mere knowledge about these
genes and to have tests sufficiently
simple to permit more accurate Sc
lection of animals for breeding pur-
poses than is possible by present
practices. They want to know
whether the genes are good or bad,
dominant or recessive, and how they
viii react in the feed lot and
breeding herd.
