NEW YORK, March s. (UP)-
Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia,
unsquelched by two rebukes from
Washington, told Adolf Hitler yes
terday to calm down and keep his
brown shirt on.
The mayor issued another state
ment as his constituents along
Broadway, Park Avenue, in Heirs
Kitchen, the Bronx and Brooklyn
took sides in this battle between
men who are separated by moth
inc except the Atlantic ocean.
Rabbi Stephen s. Wise came to
La Guardia's defense and an,
nounced that the matter would
be discussed further at q meeting
of mournful commemoration OF
the fourth anniversary Of the Hit

Guardia's suggestion that Hitler's
effigy be placed in a chamber OF

keeping with Americas invitation
to Germany to participate in the

that Italians had entered the
American legation at Ads Ababa
after the recent bombing attempt
and killed 100 Philippians who
took refuge there.
Reports also declared that an
unnamed American missionary
had been beaten.
The United Press was informed
today by a source which usually
is reliable that Italian soldiers in
vaded. the Y. s. legation in Adds
Ababa and slaughtered 100 Eth

there.
According to the report the in

had thrown bombs at Viceroy Ro-

whether the natives went into the
building itself or only into the
fortified compound around it.

SAY ISSUE MAY BE
REALIGNMENT BASIS

WASHINGTON, Mar. 6. (UP)
Congressional foes of President
Roosevelt's court reorganization
plan today were united for an
immediate nationwide campaign
accepting the challenge TO carry
the controversy to the country.
They abandoned informal tao
tics and organized an intensive
drive. The first attack on the re-
organization plan came from Sen
ator Edward R. Burke, Democrat,
of Nebraska. In O radio address
last night he revised his speech in
order to reply to the presidents
Thursday night defense Of the
plan.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
and Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace planned speeches sup
porting the program.
Meanwhile, the supreme court
meets today in its secret Satur-
day session to consider decisions
on vital New Deal legislation
which may be handed down Mon
day.
Senator Burke, opponent Of
President Roosevelt's reorganiza-
ton plan, predicted last night
that If 1t passes there will be u
realignment Of political parties in
the United States.
Burke, after q day Of confer
ences with opposition senator's
which indicated their ranks were
intact despite Mr.. Roosevelt's
Victory dinner" speech, said re.
alignment would be necessary"
because Of the type Of legislation
which would be sought immediate
ly after the court personnel is
enlarged.
"It will be-" he said, "legisla-
ton Of q type this country never
Burke asserted that there were
no assertions from opposition
ranks due to Mr.. Roosevelt's at
tack on the court on the ground
hat II has blocked all efforts to
!egislate for the farmer, for labor
and for industry.
He said Senator Burton X.
Wheeler, D., Mont, had been Sc
lected to make q formal reply to
the president by radio Wednesday
night from New York, "a hours
after Mr.. Roosevelt delivers the
second of his speeches on tho
court. He also announced that
four Democratic senator's will
speak against the administration
program at Carnegie Hall New
York next Friday night.
Burke held a press conference
late yesterday. Earlier President
Roosevelt had told correspondents
that commendatory kilograms OF
reaction to his speech ran seven
to one ahead of unfavorable ones:
The Carnegie Hal speakers will
represent all sections of the coun-
try.
Senator Royal S. Copeland, D., y.
Y. the east; Senator Walter +.
George, D., Ca, the south; and
Senator David I. Walsh, d., Mass,
New England.
This would take Walsh out of
the non-commital class and in
crease the number Of senator's
pledged to vote against the pres
ident to 81. The opposition
groups total indicated strength,
however, remains at AZ, since
Walsh had indicated opposition
privately. Administration forces
count 81 senators pledged for the
, program and II inclined TO sup
port it, with six senators still non
committal.
Meanwhile, two administration

do campaign with speeches seized,

V|NDICATI0N'
BY DAVID p. SENTNER
Copyright, 1887. by International
News Service)

LONDON, April % QN.SO-
The Duke of Windsor's desire for
withdrawal of the volume in the
United States and other countries
is behind his suit claiming dam
ages for alleged libel against the
publisher and author of the book
Coronation Commentary" it was
learned authoritatively today.
The Duke, angered by what he
considers Slurs against Mrs. Wal
lis Simpson in the book, also de-
sires widest publicity for its re-
traction, it was revealed.
Service of the libel writ was seen
as a move to bring pressure upon
Dennis and the publisher, William
Heinemann, for removal Of the
book from foreign markets.
The writ does not mean that
Heinemann's agreement for with
drawal is altered, but is due to a
desire to obtain a worldwide win
dication" of the Duke in a public
courtroom.
The action will be set for trial
some months hence, when there
is expected to be a frank state
ment by counsel on both sides,
both knowing in advance what is
to be said.
The plaintiffs counsel will tell
the court the action is not brought
for damages, but only to clear
the name of the plaintiff on
grounds there was no foundation
for the published statements.
The defendants counsel will ex-
press regret concerning the al
legged libel and tell the judge the
parties have reached an agree
ment for the book to be withdrawn
and that the defendants will pay
all costs. Neither the duke nor
Mrs. Simpson will be present.
