So prompt has been tiie response of.key nations to the vote of the , league penalities committee for I the boycott, and the stoppage of , selected essential products to Italy, that both measures may be put into effect as of November 7. .November 14 is now the latest date mentioned, not the earliest.

BRITAIN FEELS HARSH PENALTY IS NECESSARY Strangling Boycott On Italy Necessary For Peace Basis (Copyright, 1935, by UP.) London, Oct. 30. — <U.R> — Great Britain Ims no hope that a basis for real peace negotiations with Italy can be found before the-Lea-gue of Nations imposes a strangling economic boycott on Italy, it was understood today. But Britain and France together may inaugurate a “peace offensive" at Geneva wnieh would be I calculated either to make Italy accept what are called reasonable ( terms or to assume even greater t responsibility for its war on Ethi- , opia, it was learned. , Britain and France are agreed t completely at last on league peni alties and on naval cooperation, i It is believed that Sir Eric Drummond. British ambassador at . Rome, informed Premier Benito Mussolini last night of this in hope of impressing him with the fact of liis present isolation. There are indications that the Anglo-French accord, revealed almost each day as more securely l cemented, may have wide reper- ' cessions on all European diplo--1 macy. It is understood that Premier Pierre Laval of France has given Sir Samuel Hoare, froeign secretary. a precise written undertaking regarding French naval coop- . eration in the Mediterranean—a supplement to the recent long French note in reply to a British demand for a statement of position as between Italy ami Britain. The usually well informed diplomatic correspondent of the Daily Telegraph reported today that leadI ing staff officers of the French navy. army, and air force would ■ arrive in London soon. He report- • ed that though they would be primarily concerned with the ap- ' proaching naval conference, it was i assumed that important European 1 questions would bo discussed.

I OVER BILLION t RELEASED FOR WORK PROGRAM d Drive To End Unemployment Moves With More Funds Released Washington, Oct. 30. — <U.R> — ( Comptroller general John R. Mc- , Carl today pushed past the $1,600,i j 000.000 mark in the amount of ! money authorized for small, quick employment work under the $4,000.000,000 work relief program. .' He approved $134,829,397 in projects for eight states, allowing sec- ! tional works progress administraI tors to spend $20,049,000 on work they could start without delay. McCarl’s action put his approvals for actual spending at $1,014.- ! 947,649. the money to finance prot jedts from his $2,450,293,894 ap- . proved project total. President Roosevelt, meanwhile, authorized expenditure of $31,572.219 by works progress administrator Harry L. Hopkins, bringing presidential WPA approvals to sl.060,207,831. I The president also approved new | WPA projects with a $77,619,622 value, swelling that classification of work to $3,330,843,803. The fig- ; ure represents more than three i fourths the entire work fund. i Belief that Mr. Roosevelt and Hopkins will impound money previously earmarked for heavy construction and throw full force of the jobs drive into WPA. grew stronger as a major portion of the ■ $400,000,000 highway improvement ’ and grade crossing elimination allocation remained unallotted. Department of agriculture officials reported that, of the $200,000,000 set aside for highways, they have approved 893 projects | for expenditure of $37,274,000.

Giant Army Bombing Plane Crashes At Wright Field Today; Prompt Action Rescues Others. FASTEST OF TYPE Dayton, 0., Oct. 36 — (U.R) — Heroism of two army air corps I officers played a dramatic part, today in the rescue of five men | from the giant Boeing bombing plane, described as the largest and fastest aircraft of its type ever built, after it had crashed on a takeoff and caught fire at Wright field here today. Major Plover Hill of tiie army air corps lived only a few hours after tiie accident. He died of a skull fracture and burns. The 70-fooi bomber, with a wing spread of 106 feet, roared majestically down the runway during government tests at the army field this morning, arose falteringly to an altitude of 200 feet, and then dove to earth. Flames leaped from the craft a few seconds after it crashed. Standing nearby were several officers. Two of them, lieutenants Leonard Harman and R. K. Giovannoli ran to the burning wreckage and dragged two of the imprisoned men to safety. Tiie scorching flames burned their clothing and singed their arms and faces. Leslie Tower.

At an extraordinary session of the St. Louis court of appeals, the controversial child was taken from Mrs. Nellie Tipton Muench, wife of a prominent physician, who had asserted it was a “gift of God" born to her in August. There followed a wild, emotional outburst on the part of Mrs. Muench, who protested fearfully that “you can't do that” she screamed imprecations upon tiie court, branding it “just a Nero! You have crucified me and now you’re trying to crucify my baby.” Purpose of the order was to place the child in the children's hospital for an examination to determine its rightful mother.
