ending is more happy.

sphere defense bases.
The government also assigned
four officers to training in the
United States Air Corps ard ordered
95 others each to Brazil and Argen-
tina for training.

D. {. Gang Practiced
ShopIifting, Prisoner S
Diary Reveals
Ex-CoIIeeiun Named as
Leader; Loot includes
Operu Records

Third precinct police were hold
ing 23-year-old colored man to-
day and were searching for two
others they said had been engaged
in a profitable shpplifting business
in Washington during the last few
weeks.
A diary and a signed statement
from the prisoner gave them an
inside picture of the workings of
the ring which they reported was
headed by a former college student
and composed of three opera-loving
members.
The ring was uncovered yester-
day by Detectives Lester w. Rank
and Jack L. Frost in routine check
of pawn reports filed under the law
by secondhand stores. Numerous
items listed from an address in
the 1700 block of R street NV, led
them to the place where they found
Frederick Lee, %, colored, and the
diary.
Lee was charged with grand
larceny. Police still are looking for
the leader and another colored
youth, both of whom they say have
been identified. When arraigned in
Police Court today Lee was held
under $4,000 bond for grand jury
action.
Practiced ShOplifting.
Entries in the diary revealed that
members of the ring trained con-
stantly for their Shoplifting work,
taking vigorous exercises and prac-
ticing the art of shielding each other
and of concealing large objects
under their overcoatS.
Nearly $1,000 worth of stolen goods
was recovered by police from the
r street address and from second
hand stores. Included were hun
dreds of phonograph records, many
of them sets of opera recordings.
Mrs. A. Mitchell Palmer, widow of
the wartime Attorney General, Of
fered reward today for the return
to her at the Shoreham Hotel of
valuable diamond wrist watch she
lost last night between 1919 Nine
teenth street NV. and the hotel.
Mrs. Palmer reported that she
attended party given by Speaker
and Mrs. Rayburn at the Anchorage
Apartments. AS she prepared to
leave, she said, she looked at her
watch to inform a friend of the
time and then walked across the
street to her car, parked on Nine
teenth street. She said she did not
get out of the automobile again
until she arrived at the hotel.
Purse With $50 Snatched.
Emma M. SAKE of the Roger Smith
Hotel, Eighteenth and Pennsylvania
avenue NV, reported to police that
a colored man snatched her purse,
containing $50 in cash and a return
ticket to New York, while she was
walking near the hotel last night.
A young white boy snatched the
purse of Frances Middleton, 2518
TunlaW road NV, she told police.

mittee. c. R. Brinton, secretary
of the Musicians Union, wrote to
Mr.. Giegengack:
THE National Symphony Orches-
ira provides employment for 81
musicians for a guaranteed season
of no less than 20 weeks during the
winter season. Approximately W
musicians have found employment
for summer seasons of from six to
eight weeks.
1T appears that the increasing
popularity of symphony orchestras
has served to some degree in rem
edving the very disastrous unem-
ployment situation which was Gre
ated by the dismissal of approx
mately 10000 musicians since the
advent of sound pictures in theaters.
Campaign Endorsed.
"Since it is an established fact
that no major symphony orchestra
is self-supporting, and since the
operating deficits of many SYM
phony orcheStras are met by sus-
tanning funds. which funds are Gre
ated by voluntary contributions from
individuals for that purpose or by
governmental subsidy, and since the
National Symphony Orchestra As
sociation does not enjoy the bene-
fits of governmental subsidy for the
purpose, the Musicians Protective
Union approves of and indorses the
current campaign to raise sustaining
funds for the maintenance of the
orchestra during the 1941-42 sea-
son"
The campaign closes Thursday.

Italians Form Ethiopian
Army to Fight British

ROME, Feb. 18 differentiation
of a native Ethiopian Army to fight
invading British colonial forces was
reported today from Asmara, Italian
Eritrea. by Stefani, official Italian
news agency.
It said the army would be headed
by old enemies Of Halle SelaSSle.
RaS Gugsa, son-in-law OF Halle
SeIassie., who was the first impor-
tant Ethiopian chieftain to go over
to Italy during the Italian invasion
in 1856, was named as the main
figure in the native pro-Fascist
forces.
The Stefani report described
Ethiopian chieftainS as Summonlng
their natives to mass meetings,
beating the African war drums and
haranguing their followers on Italy's
behalf
Among the rases (chieftains) men,
toned was Seyum Mangasha, once
a bitter enemy of Italy.
At Aduwa, Stefani said, Italian
officials were present at meeting
at which he told crowds of natives:
People of Aduwa, know that
everywhere-Rome, Adds Ababa,
Asmara. I say everywhere-the Ital-
ian government has respected and
honored me, showing the greatest
courtesy. My devotion to Italy is
unlimited and I, followed by your
selves, will go against her enemies
bearing the Italian flag in my right
hand"
His words, Stefani said, brought
q furious drum beating amid scenes
Of "warlike phantasy."
