 Electoral Votes in Doubt

 The situation, which might make the Connecticut electoral votes open to question, or even raise doubts of the entire election if the states eight votes should Do decisive, constitutes an emergency In the governors opln- ion and, under state constitution, he is sole judge of what constitutes an emergency.
 Presuniing the calling of the ses- sion would result in conferences of party leaders and agreement upon the leglslation to be enacted, the session itself would probably last only one day. Such on agreement would also block presentation of other matters. Members of the gen- eral assembly receive no pay for at- tending c special session but. are al- lowed mileage, which would total more than 3i700 for all of them.
 The governor said he anticipated no attempts to make campaign speeches in q session the week before the election. He plans, he said, to call only one special session and aft- CT the electoral vote situation has been acted upon to have the session adjourned until after election and then take up the matter of state utl- employment insurance.

 gpanish Rebel Headquartera Tetuan, Morocco, July 24. = (uP) = The Spanish rebellion is proceed ing according to plan and will drive on to success, General Francisco Franco, its commander in chief, said today.
 'sMy intense desire and my sole wish b to suppress the influence of Moscow in the life of my country" he added.
 Franco, who b commanding the rebellion from his headquarters here, said that damage done by bombard- maents of loyallst warShips at Ceuta had been inconsiderable and that no one had been killed by them.
 The fleet fired at forts, not ct the town, he said, and was driven back py effective reply from the fort batteries.
 Neutrality Is Safe
 Franco said that he had no in. tention of violating the neutrality of the Tangier International Zone and that there would be no compli- cations there with foreign powers.
 sAll is going well and according to the plan I devised" Franco said. we have encountered no special difficulties yet"

 Democrats to Control
 Designations of Daly and strem- lau from their federal jobs 50 that they can serve in the senate ct the special session will give the demo- cratic party control of the upper house. Since the last regular ses- sion in 1885 one republican inculm- bent, Cornelius 0. Costello of 0ro- ton, has died. This leaves the sen- ate with 17 democrats, 14 republic cans and three socialists. The so- cialists in the regular session lined up with the republicans. This coali- ton will only give the republican, socialist group 17 votes at the spe. cial session.
 Mayor Is Key.Man
 Mayor Hayes, therefore, will be the key-fnan on oil of Governor Cross programs. Being democrat, he will cast his ballot with the democratic side of the upper house of the gen- eral assembly.
 While the republicans will still be in control of the lower house, the fact that the democrats will be in control of the upper house will, 1t is believed, have much to do with speeding through the governors plans for relief as well as the amendment to the state laaw con. corning the convening of electoral delegates.

Ethiopian strong point of Sasa Baneh, occupied Gabre Hor, 30 miles south of Sasa Baneh, after taking God-Adde, 10 miles to the east of Gabre Hor, Badoglio cabled.
 He said that Italian airplanes bombed Ethiopian defense lines at Sasa Baneh and Daga Modo, west of Sasa Baneh on another car- avan route. Italian newspapers re- ported Wednesday that Italians had surrounded" Daga Modo.
 IS 1-2 Miles 8 Day
 In southeastern Ethiopia Italians are advancing at the rate of IS 1-2 miles @ day on a front of 250 miles, dispatches from the front said to- day.
 General Rodolfo Graziani is be- lieved trying to force the Philippians in toward Sasa Baneh 50 that he may make a mass attack on the city from two sides, and break completely the last resistance on the path to the vital Jijiga-H -Harar area and the Addis Ababa-Djibout railway. Italian advance guards were be- lieyed within 50 miles of Sasa Baneh and news of a sanguinary battle was exepected at any time.
 Flights of the Italian reconnais- sance airplane squadrons. has re- vealed 8 strong concentration ot Philippians at Sasa Baneh, presum- ably under the brilliant Turkish General Wehib Pasha.
 That a desperate resistance is planned seems plain. Warriors can be seen hurriedly reconstructinng Qualifications destroyed in recent preparatory bombing raids. Recent excitement over the ex- pected capture of Addis Ababa has died, and Italians have set the dead line for this final phase of the war for May Il, when the League of Ma tions Council meets again. Unconfirmed Dispatch
 Rome, April 24-(U.P0-The news paper Giornale D1talia reported in an unconfirmed dispatch from Dji- bout today that Addis Ababa is pre- pared to surrender to the Italians without resistance.
 The dispatch quoted a Belgian officer, member of the Belgian mill itary advisory group which has just left the capital, as saying that a commission composed of the mayor of Addis Ababa, the director of for eign affairs, and Dr. John H. Spen- cer, American adviser to the Ethio- plan government, had decided tC meet the Italians under a white flag 25 miles from Addis Ababa and hand over the keys to the capital, which would not be defended.

 As did their Roman ancestors the Italians are making history in Ethiopia with their roads.

 We slept for two nights in ou, automobile, stalled in the greatest traffic jam we had ever seen.
 One of the nights we spent at ar Askari camp near Korem, where we drank some very good Scotch whis' key left by the Emperor Halle Se- lassie, and watched the Askari dt their fantasia, their African form o1 the American Indian war dance.
 Bodies Litter Roads
 The Aschangi-Korem region wal still pungent with the bodies ol Ethiopians beside the road, and the road was filtered with the bodies of mules killed in battle or victims of the merciless work of an army or the advance. On the last day there was nothing to eat but hardtack and corned beef. We arrived here to find the American missionary school, which the Italians founc empty, converted into an Askar hospital.

 $1O,OO0 to Be Returned
 Moran ordered state authorities to return the $1O,00O Foster had de- posted to guarantee his appearance in court. It was reported that fed eral agents might seek to rearrest Foster on a warrant charging him with crossing state border to avoid prosecution. U. s. Attorney E. F. Carville said that the federal gov- ernment's next move would be de- terlnined today. Prom the evidence introduced by some reputable citi- zens of Reno," Moran said, T am led to believe the petitioner was not in New York on the morning of Jan. 6 when the robbery took place"
 Nullifies Extradition
 His order nullified the extradition ordered signed by Coy. Richard Kirman of Nevada permitting Fos- ter's return to New York. Foster came to Reno last November and has worked in local gambling house. His attorney, William Mo- Knight, introduced 30 witnesses who sWore that Foster was in Reno Jan- uary 6. Federal agents maintained that Foster was missing from his usual Reno haunts during the first two weeks in January. During those two weeks, they charged, he went to New York and staged the robbery in Rockefeller Center.
 Foster Fighting Case
 Through his attorneys, Foster put up a determined fight to prevent extradition. He was freed soon after his arrest on $10,O00 bond After Gov. Kirman approved his extradition, he was re-arrested but his attorneys applied to Judge Moran for 8 writ of habeas corpus A temporary writ was granted and Foster was again freed on bond.
 Gibson identified Foster positive ly, picking him out in the court room, and, despite the rigorous cross examination of Mcknight, did not deviate. When Gibson pointed him out, Foster half rose in his chair saying in threatening voice:
 Challenges Witness
 Look me in the eye when you say that"
 Foster was arrested in 1880 in Los Angeles soon after the staying of Lingle in Chicago. After a court fight, he was extradited to Chicago but, because of the disappearance of witnesses, was never brought to trial.
