Geneva, July 9. —(API —Italian cir
cles predicted today that Italy would
resign from the League of Nations if
a special session of that body were
called on the Italo-Ethiopian conflict
—but a special session appears like
ly because of the breakdown in the
conciliation commission proceedings.
A resolution adopted by the League
Council May 25 provided a special ses
sion of the Council should be called
July 25 if the Italo-Ethiopian arbi
trators fail to reach an agreement ana
fail to appoint a fifth arbitrator to
act as umpire.
It also provided for a council ses
sion August 25. at all events if the
dispute had not been settled by that
time
Todav the Italio-Ethiopian concilia
tion commission, meeting at Schoeven
ingen. Netherlands, decided to sus
pend its session indefinitely. The com
mission members arranged to depart
immediately.
It was not immediately clear wheth
er the commission, in deciding to ad
journ indefinitely, intended not to
take up the problem of arbitration or
of naming a fifth member.
If this should prove to be the case,
the Council will have to decide wheth
er it should meet before August 25
to deal with the dispute.
The dispute between Italy and the
African empire already has gravely
affected the work of economical fin
ancial experts, who are meeting here
privately to study the feasibilb/' ot
imposing, economic and financial pen
alties on nations endangering peace
through the repudiation of interna

July 9 (AP)—-A handful of American
missionaries struggled today to give
aid in this city ■'where rising flood wa
ters have trapped hundreds of thous
ands of persons like rats.
The Associated Press is able to send
to the world this story of heroism and
|suffering through telegraph lines
which are operating only at intervals.
The flood waters of the Yunan river
and Tung Ting lake combining have
converted the outer city and the sur
rounding area into a great lake, the
shores of which cannot be seen from
the highest buildings here.
It is nearly midnight as this is be
ing written and already 100,000 hous
es in the city are buried under the
water.
The A.merican Northern Presbyte
rian missionaries are attempting to
dispense whatever relief is possible,
but their efforts are merely a drop in
this ocean of disaster.
Numerous buildings of this mission
are among those already under ten
feet of water, but those remaining are
being kept in use by the missionaries.
The attic of one mission residence
which still remains above water is
where the missionaries are attempt
ing to live. They enter and leave their
tiny shelter by boat.
Thus far, no pestilence has broken
out. but no one dares envisage what
is coming when the waters begin to
recede.
Every dyke protecting the city and
the low lying farm lands around about,
with one exception, has broken.

Raleigh, July 9. —(AP) —Seven new
cases of infantile paralysis to make
327 this year, with all but 15 of them
since May 1, were reported to the
State Board of Health today, but the
disease continued sharply centralized
in the middle of the State.
Though one of the new cases came
from New Hanover county, in tne
coastal resort section, it made only
three original cases on the seashore
during the break. Previously New
Hanover had listed one and Dare
county had also listed one.
In addition to the New Hanover
case, these listed today came, two
each from Franklin and Warren
counties and one each from Granville
and Northampton.

New Orleans, La., July 9 (AP) —In j

Long branded President Roosevelt a
“Har and a fakir.”
Riding the crest of another surge
of legislation which gave him unpre
cedented control over the common
wealth, the Louisiana “dictator” tore
into the President and his New Deal
with a personal denunciation un
matched in previous attacks on the
Roosevelt administration.
Senator Long poured his scathing
attack on the President into a radio
hook-up covering most sections of
Louisiana and lasting well over two
hours last night.
He not only called the President a
“liar and a makir/’ but invited the

Not Guilty Plea

Detroit, Mich., July 9 (AP)—Morton
Ward Goodrich pleaded innocent to
the murder of Lillian Gallaher at his
arraignment today in recorder’s court.
The plea obviously took the court
and the crowd of spectators by sur
prise. A gasp went up as Goodrich,
his knees shaking, told Judge Thomas
H. Cotter that he pleaded innocent
and that he wanted the court to name
an attorney to defend him.
Judge Cotter ordere dthat the for
mer trap drummer, who has confessed
slaying the eleven-year-old girl, be
given a routine examination. Good

immediately.
Mrs. Goodrich was not brought into
court with her husband.

HOUSE’S VOlEll^
Despite Congress Moves,
. Economic Crisis, to Most
Folk, Still Remains
By! LESLIE EICHEL
Centra! Press Staff Writer
New York, July 9. —Away from the
scene at Washington,! among the
large mass of people, the events ot
today do not seem so neatly disposed
of as writers at the capital would
make it appear.
There are surging movements that
no Washington decree will, in the ul
timate, affect.
That those movements! may be
guided is another matter.
The economic crisis, to the large
mass of the people, remains.
And a careful study of history, par
ticularly American history, discloses
that it is the economic urge which
invariably has shaped political de
velopments.
PEOPLE NOT AROUSED
Some of the more atute politicians
have found that the people did not
rise emotionally to the revolt of the
House of Representatives against
President Roosevelt on the public
utility holding company bill.
Here were the federal officeholders
most closely associated with the peo
ple (elected every two years) reas
serting their power. But there was
neither acclaim nor disclaim—at
home.
On the contrary, people continued
to discuss the chief issue (in their
minds) —economic freedom.
For them, there remained dissatis
faction both with Congress and the
President —not for attacking econo
mic problems more vigorously.
When representatives tried to ex
plain they were not “bribed” by pow
er interests, they were making no im

(By the Associated Press.)
As the State of New York rushed
relief to up-state areas devastated by

the Atlantic seaboard increased the
menace from high waters!
In New York State, with the death
toll at 37, eight persons were still
missing. Property damage was esti
mated early at ten million dollars.
Although heavy rains held on, the
Susquehanna river was receding.
But down the Susquehanna toward
Chesapeake Bay tribitaries of the

Cloudbursts in northeast flaryland

Amendments
Washington, July 9.—(AP)—The lie
was passed today as tempers flared
and frayed nerves strained in the rag
ing utilities dispute in Congress.
Climaxing the opening day of a
House investigation of lobbying for
and against the utilities holding com
pany bill, Representative Brwester,
Republican, Maine, shouted, “You’re
a liar,” at Thomas Corcoran, R. F.
C. attorney.
Corcoran, on the stand before the
rules committee, had just characters
ized as “baseless” Brewster’s charge
that he had threatened that work
would be halted in the Passamoqued
dy power project in Maime if Brew
ster voted against an administration
sponsored provision in the utilities
bill for mandatory abolition of certain
holding companies.
Preceding him as the first witness,
Brewster had related the aceu9sation
made originally on the House floor
which precipitated the investigation.
The hotly disputed utilities issue al.
so was before both chambers of Con
gress.
The Senate expected to decide to
day or tomorrow whether it would
accept the House action in eliminat
ing the mandatory abolition feature
of the holding company bill.
The House entered the final stages
of a debate over controverted amend
ments to clarify and strengthen the
powers of the Tennessee Valley Au
thority.
Unanimous decision to limit the taJt
bill to levies only on individual and
corporate incomes, inherTTances and
gifts was reached by the House Ways
and Means Committee.
Proposals for broadening President
Roosevelt’s tax program to include
sales taxes, other "nuisance” levies,
as well as other revenue problems
were discussed before the decision
was reached to confine the legislation
to the point outlined originally by
the President.
