 Under the plan, the Italian gov- ernment would be given the chance to bring all women and children from Ethiopia and Somaliland to Italy through Djibouti, French So- maitland, or some other port along the East African coast.
 It was believed here that the Vichy government would cooperate in arranging the evacuation, pro vid ed the Italian government agreed.

 Emperor Halle SelaSSie of Ethiopia is now at Khartoum in the Sudan organizing revolt.
 British newspaper correspondents in their first interview with him, quoted him today:
 'The day is not far distant when I shall cross the border and lead an Ethiopian army against the en- emy. I am here to lead the fight which has never ceased for Ethi- opia's freedom and to help oEf ally Britain in the larger fight to liber- ate all nations enslayed by Fascist tyranny"

Lady AstOr, With Her Hus- band, Lord Mayor of Ply=
 mouth, Tours Wreckage

Plymouth, January 14. - (UP)- Lady Astor and her husband, the Lord Mayor of Plymouth, toured bomb-spattered Plymouth today, organizing aid for those injured and made homeless by the severe Ger man air attack last night.
 Lady Astor said that If Ameri- cans could see the way the people are taking this tragedy, their hearts would bleed"
 She said that Britons feel Hitler represents the kind of oppression such as the Pilgrims fought more than 300 years ago"
 The Astors arrived at their Ply mouth home from London a few hours after the fury of the German air attack had passed.
 Before dawn they were setting ur shelters in which the homeless could be housed, and centers for feeding refugees.
 we have been working all night, Lady Astor said, establishing fooo and sleeping centerS. But most peo- pie, even if they have only mat tress left, ask us to give aid to those more in need.
 q have not seen a single defeated person. One woman with son at her knee and a baby in her arms told me she would rather her chil- dren be bombed to death than be forced to live under Hitler"
 Casualties in the raid were said to be extremely small.

BY GLENN STADLER

Paris, January IA. - (UP) = (Via Berlin) - Paris, enduring what is called its worst food shortage since the German siege of 1870-71, divided the blame today between the Vichy government and farmers who, it was complained, refuse to send their products to the Paris area because controlled prices did not permit a profit.
 It has become almost impossible to buy sufficient food, especially meat, potatoes, butter and good vegetables even with money and ra- tion cards. But the black market flourishes, with prices ranging up to 500 per cent more than those which obtained before the German occupation. Outlying departments are well supplied, it is reported, but will not send food to Paris, or cannot because of a lack of transport.
 GA United Press dispatch from Vichy last week reported that the Germans had bought up great quan- titles of food in Paris and that their requisitioning of French rolling stock played a big part in the trans port shortage)
 Lack of coal for household heat ing purposes adds to the suffering of ParisianS. The coal shortage was blamed on lack of transporta-
