By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. September 25—Thi Herald Tribune, in a copyright dis patch from London, said today it wa: learned from an unimpeachable sourci ■ that “the entire Italian garrison am Italian civfl population of the north ern Ethiopian town of Makale, ha: been massacred by tribesmen.” Makale was the scene of heavj fighting in the Ethiopian campaigr and was captured by Italians on No vember 8. 1935. "The Makale slaughter,” the Her ald Tribune dispatch says, “may part ly explain the strange step of Italy in offering the democratic poweri something for nothing; that Is tc say, the stoppage of Italian reinforce ments to Spain. “The conciliatory tone of Rome ai present suggests that, above all. thi government wishes to gain recognitior of its conquest, and that very soon before things get any worse in Africa “No details of the Makale mas sacre are known. It Is so recent tha' even the Ethiopian legation in Lon don had not heard of it. The onli advice is that the Italian garrisor there has been annihilated, alonf with all Italian civilians. “Recent reports from Ethiopia havi indicated that the tribesmen, deepl; resentful at tlK invasion of their coun try by Italy and its annexation las year, have been increasing their re slstanre to the Italian military oc eupation." LIABILITY FOR FUND IS $ 174,244-,00C This Amount Due From Govern ment for Retirement Total. Balance Now $300,000,000. The accrued liability of the Govern ment in the Federal retirement fun was in excess of $1,174,244,000 o June 30. 1935. according to the annus report of the Board of Actuaries, sub mitted To Congress by the Civil Servic Commission. Failure of Congress to appropriat anything toward the fund for the firs eight years of its existence, 1920-28, : responsible for the showing. Since then Congress has successive! raised annual payments from aroun $1,21,000.000 to the $72,000,000 carrie in the current budget. The board estimates it would requii payments of $51,000,000 annually ff 63 years to make the fund "actuaril sound.” As of June 30 the balance in the r< tirement fund was Just under $300 000.000. Wuchow, important trading city i Eastern Kwangsi Province, issued a open letter assailing the United Stati policy in the Far East as "spineless.’ The night raid on the Wuhan citie. centered mostly in Hankow, com pressed appalling devastation withl a 10-minute hail of explosives.

CORN TRADE BAN AVERTS ‘SQUEEE’ Chicago Board Orders All Open Contracts Settled in Crisis Move. B» the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 25.—Directors of the Chicago Board of Trade in voked emergency powers today to sus pend trading in September com and end the market deadlock between traders in the community. The board ordered settlement of all open contracts at a price of |1.10 Vi per bushel. The action averted a threatened "squeeze” which developed when it became apparent there was not suffi cient September com available to per mit traders to make deliveries In ac cordance with their contracts. President Kenneth S. Templeton said the board had no alternative under the commodity exchange act, which requires all contract markets to prevent manipulation. A showdown on the threatened "squeeze” was due next Monday be fore the directors acted. All deals were to have ended at that time and the “shorts” would have had three days thereafter in which to make de livery. Faced by Shortage. The' market crisis was precipitated by the realization that "shorts" were faced by a shortage of old domestic corn due to the drought of previous years, President Templeton said. The shortage, despite heavy importations of Argentine, South African and other foreign corn, he added, "permitted the 'long' interests to take advantage of the situation.” The directors decreed that "short” interests must notify the board of in tentions to settle open contracts at the stipulated price or elect to make de livery. Failure to deliver after such notification would render the trader in default under exchange rules. At yesterday's opening, contracts remain ing for settlement involved 8,400.000 bushels. The clearing corporation was or dered to allocate all corn hereafter tendered in fulfillment of September contracts on a pro rata basis as nearly as practicable to buyers who were “long” at the close of trading yester day. Hold Night Session. Directors were in sessior most of the night before reaching a decision. Early in the proceedings they con ferred w-ith officials of the Commodity Exchange Administration. Previously the board officials took unprecedented action in demanding full reports on the market positions ol , traders in the contract. They also tripled margin requirements in an effort to reduce speculative activity. A charge that corn prices were being I manipulated was made yesterday in 1 a statement by the Farmers' National I Grain Corp. a leading co-operative, i Board directors said the exchange Business Conduct Committee had sub mitted evidence that indicated the principal "long" held a predominant interest in the September contract, the percentage of which, with relation to the total open interest, had steadily in creased. The “long" was not identified. .• -■ —.. — Going on “A Hot Date.” DALLAS, Tex.
