financial affairs of Albania with
out having to consult the Tirana
government.
Thousands of bewildered Alban-
ianS, mainly women and children
watched the tri-motored Italian
| bombers land at the airfield. As
soon as the wheels stopped rolling
the tall, fully equipped grenadiers
emerged and lined up in parade
formation.
Italians passed out tiny Italian
! flags. which were waved almost
exclusively by women and children
The only men who remained to
cheer MusSolini or wave flags were
bitterly anti-zog.
Many grenadierS. who are Italy S
tallest soldiers, carried diSmsntled
machine guns, which they swiftly
assembled.
The Italian military command
ordered scores of soldiers to paste
posters condemning Zog and hail
ing Premier Benito MusSolini on
all public buildings and walls.
Queen Geraldine and their three
day old son Prince Skander were
awaiting him there. The queen had
arrived last night, prostrated, and
was taken from her automobile to
hotel in a stretcher.
1t was announced that the Ital-
ianS lost Ii men killed and 43
wounded in fighting at Durazzo
the port of Tfrana, yesterday, and
that one sailor was killed and 10
were wounded at Santi Quaranto
The casualties at Durazzo includ-
ed eight sailors killed and "a
wounded and three infantrymen
killed and nine wounded.
The Italians blasted their way
TO Tirana along the 20-milc road
from the sea by the same means
( they used against Halle Selassie's
warriors in Ethiopia, on their march
TO Adds Ababa.
Soldiers, policemen, civilian vol
unteer minute men and peasants
made up the defense forces. They
Sniped the Italians from every
commanding point and threw stones
down from hills on them.
Gen. Alfredo Guzzoni, command
ing the Italian expeditionary force

CHICAGO, April 8. (UP)-Del-
egates to the national conference
on interstate trade barriers re-
turned to their home states today
to launch a national program
which they hope will effect abo-

The conference was sponsored

ter four special committees, made
up of members of legislatures and
administrative officials in a. OF

ports urging abandonment of state

Twice postponed, the budget Dill
will provoke a maelstrom oil argu-
ment. On one side, Governor olson
insists that no changes be made.
Republicans propose to trim OH
more than $3O,0O0,000 through a
series of 200 amendments. A few
Democrats are likely to join the
solid Republican front and BLOCK
the required "a votes for majority
passage.
Biggest stumbling block is the
contention of some Republicans
that the S72.00O,0O0 unemployment
relief item should be Withdrawn
from the budget and handled as a
separate appropriation bill, care
fully earmarked to prevent "un-
wise" exendture of state funds.
Olson and State Relief Admins
traitor II. Dewey Anderson strenu-
ously oppose any such withdrawal,
contcnding relief has been an IN
tegral part of the budget and
should remain So
Political observers predicted a
compromise from the Olson forces
and a probable postponement OF
action Monday. The governor has
been calling the assemblymen to
his office in a steady stream and
expressed belief the budget would
pass without change.
Radicalism charges within the
State Relief Administration are in
iected into the budget battle to
some extent, since more conServa-
tive Democrats and most of the
Republicans believe the governor
should continue his purge which
started with ouSting of William j.
Plunkert from a high SRA post.
A Democratic committee of five
named to investigate relief condi-
tionS has met once with Olson,
plans to return Monday. 1t is felt
in some quarters that continued
positive action by Olson in calming
the relief hubbub might bring him
more favorable support on the bud

Yaquis Celebrate
With Easter Dance

GUADALUPE, Ariz., April 8. (UP)
The Yaqui Indians of Guadalupe
danced their own strange version
Of the death and resurrection OF
Christ today, intermingling their
pagan notions with the Christian
religion. y
Villagers placed an effigy OF Ju-
das. the betrayer, on a burro ana
paraded it around the plaza whlle
the women and men jeered. Later
the effigy will be burned to the
accompaniment of popping IRE
crackers.
The YaquiS have been allegori-
cally searching for Christ, hopping
about the desert for days. Some
time tonight they will find him as
they conduct their dance OF mourn
ing at the bier of Ell Nazareno.
Then the erie dances of the Indians
will continue until dawn when they
are all exhausted.

Conquest Violates
Kellogg Pact Says
Albanian Minister

WASHINGTON, April s. (UP)-
Informed diplomatic sources re-
vealed today that Albania will
seek to rally world opinion against
Italy's invasion by complaining
10 the United States that the
Fascist aggression violates the
Kellogg BRAND anti-war pact.
Italy, with virtually all other
nations of the world, is sigma
tory to the pact, which was spon-
sored jointly by the United States
and France.
Faik Konitza, Albanian minister
10 the United States, arranged to
call at the state department this
afternoon. II was believed that he
will register an official protest
with secretary of state Cordell
Hull, branding Italy as violator
of the Kellogg BRAND pact. Under
terms of that treaty, signed in
1927, its signatories renounce war
as a national policy.
Such a protest would not call
for United States action. since the
treaty makes no provision for
punishment of its violators. But
the United States may publicly
denounce Italy's Adriatic adven-
ture as unprovoked aggression and
violation of treaty.
The Washington friends of Spa
nish democracy and the Ameri-
can League for Peace and Demo-
cracy made plans to picket the
Italian Embassy later today.
