At Odds Over Germany in Rhineland, Use of Gas
 By Italy
BY WALLACE CARROLL

Copyright, 1886, by United Press)
 Geneva, April 9-(UP)-Great Britain and France, increasingly di- vergent on the Ethiopian and Rhineland problems, struggled for dominance today as the league council committee of 13 prepared timidly to approach Premier Musso- lini on his idea of peace.
 Britain demanded that the league investigate charges of Italian use of poison gas against Ethiopia; that Italy give assurance within 48 hours that it was willing to cease fighting and negotiate peace on terms suit able to the league; that if Italy re- fused the assurance, the league should vote new penalties against her; and that even if Italy agreed to an armistice, the penalties now in force should be maintained un- til final settlement was reached. France demanded that Italian charges of atrocities by Ethiopian warriors be investigated; that Italy be allowed until after easier to state its peace terms; and that penalties should be lifted at once if an arm iStice were arranged.

Many More Divisions of Troops, Air BomberS to
 Crush Selassie

Rome, April 9-UP)-FiVe Italian divisions, separate army corps and a special flying column were re- ported today to be driving in on four caravan routes to take En- peror Halle Selassie's grand head quarters at Dessye.
 The operation was regarded as the most serious threat to Emperor Halle Selassie of the war, and it was indicated that its eventual aim would be a movement on Addis Ababa, the capital.
 For the present, the operation was a great fanlike movement ex- tending all the way from Lake Aschangi, on the east side of the northern Ethiopian front, to Lake Tana on the west.
 It covered every caravan route of importance in the whole moun- tain territory, with a front of some 135 miles from east to west.
 Divisions Move Southward
 Press dispatches from Asmara, capital of Italian Eritrea, said that five divisions were moving south- ward from Lake Aschangi and that the third army corps was moving southward from Socota, to the west. It was reported also that a special column was driving eastward from the Lake Tana region. It was indi- cated that the operation was grand scale development of the strategy and tactics that under Marshal Pietro Badoglio, 1talys most brilliant soldier, has taken the Italians into the heart of Ethiopia.

Prison Guards
In ScOttSbOrO Fire
Are Suspended

Two convict guards and a road
official were suspended last week
as Governor Bibb Graves ordered
an investigation to determine if
criminal negligence figured in the
death of 20 negro prisoners in a
flaming transfer cage near Scots
boro, Ala, week before last.
Wassen and Middlebrooks were
in the drivers compartment of the
motorized cage when it caught fire
from drum of gasoline last week,
cremating the negroes.
The Governor, who moved to
compensate families of the victims,
said he would make no effort to fix
blame for the tragedy until the in
vestigation is completed.
Twenty of the negro convicts
locked in the cage were burned to
death when 80 gallons of gasoline
in a 50-gallon drum caught fire
from sparks that fell from piece
of paper one Of the convicts had
lighted to warm his hands.
The chief executive said the con-
victs were en- route to clear high
ways that had been blocked by an
unprecedented snowfall.
when the negroes were checked
out at the Scottsboro prison camp,
it was found that all the trucks
were frozen except the transfer
truck which had been used the day
before to transport oil and gaso-
line" the Governor said.
Because of the need for gasoline,
and in the emergency, the gasoline
was ordered carried along to oper-
ate tractor. It is against regula-
tons to carry gasoline and men on
the same truck"
