Ind., Nov. 16—(UP) A special mission of the state legislature to enact social security bills depends on agreement of members they will not attempt action on other problexti, it became evident today. Administration leadens hope to limit the session to five days. Legislators are being told there will ;je no special session unless they promise to devote attention only to social security legislation. Marion county’s 11 representatives will caucus Monday to determine their stand. The Administration 'program in event of a special session calls for technical changes in the old age pension law to conform witn federal regulations and setting up job insurance so Indiana employers and employee can benefit from the federal co.T.ipensation plan. Gov. Paul V. McNutt plans to visit Washington next week to obtain ad1' ditional information on legislation I necessary for Indiana to obtain ; greatest benefits from federal laws. The (preliminary organization work being done by administration leaders was interpreted generally as halting proposed fights for liberalization of liquor laws and revision ] ] of the tax structure. | Rep.

MANYTEACHERS ATTEND MEETING Vocation Teachers Attend Meeting At Purdue University | Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 16 -TUP) More than 25-?- vocational advisers and teachers from Indiana high schools were registered at Purdue University today for the annual guidance conference. Ben W. Good, director of the cooperative test service, New York City, and a member of the Columbia University faculty, was the principal speaker at yesterday s session. ’ In discussing individual guidance and method of providing equal opportunity, Good advocated a careful analysis of the individuals ability, starting in the elementary grades. 1 "People in general have formed the false belief that academic edu- ' cation should Ibe synonymous with success," he said, “They have lost sight of the fact that a great number of important achievements have | been accomplished by persons having little professional or academic i training," Good concluded. Among other speakers on the . program were Miss Eelen Dernbaeh. , director of educational guidance. • South'Eend; Mrs. Erma B. Christy, , head of vocational guidance and I home economics, Muncie; W. G. Bate, superintendent of Richmond I City whoola; Dewitt S. Morgan, ’ | technical high school of Indianapo- . i lis and 0. R. Bangs superintendent I of Ligonier schools.

GREAT BRITAIN TO EMBARK ON PEACE EFFORT Strengthened By Election; Cabinet Expected To Move Forward London. Nov. 16 — (U.R) —Primo Minister Stanley Baldwin and his cabinet, immeasurably strengthened by the general parliamentary election, were expected today to embe.-k at once on a broadly envisioned effort to consolidate world peace. Informed political observers nredlcted that the policy would be: Unswerving determination to seek a solution of the ItalianEthiopian problem only within the framework of the league covenant. To consider the Imposition of military penalties under the league covenant's article XVI only in event of the most extreme Italian provocation against league members. To do everything possible to minimize the possibility of an i Italian-British clash. Most rapid strengthening of national defenses. To seek further to cement British-American good relations as a means of promoting a stable, peaceful world. The government, it is indicated, believes it has received a, plain mandate from the country for its policy—including its eagerneso to seek friendship instead of enmity with Italy. J.

DAIRY FIRM IS ROBBED OF $l7O Two Bandits Raid Office Os Allen Dairy Farms Friday Night — Fort Wayne, Nov. 16— (U.R) — Two bandits raided the offices of the Allen Dairy Farms, Inc., last night, held up four employees and a woman customer, and escaped with $l7O in cash. The holdup in ma.ny respects resembles that of the Coca-Cola Bottling works Monday evening when two bandits held up four employes at closing time and fled with about $450 in money and checks. Yesterday evening, the dairy employes told Detective Sergeants Horace Smith and Harry Gibson who are investigating the case, the two men wr.’ked into the office on the first floor, each, eartying a ,38-caliber blue steel revolver. Carl Nieter of 2218% Maumee avenue, plant manager; Paul Det- • ter of East Berry street, cashier; Harley Allen of 2118 Maumee avenue, and Even Deck of 407 Madi- ' son street, employee, were in the office.

Latest Estimate Is 10 Mil* , lion Bushels Above Previous Year Lafayette, Nov. 16 — (Special)— , i Despite some damage from frost in , | both northern and southern Indiana, | the Hoosier com crop for the past | i season is estimated at 155,4>3,000 , I bushels, or approximately ten mil- j i lion bushels more than a month ago. ( according to the crop estimate . made today by the bureau of agri- , j cultural statistics at Purdue Univer- ! sity. This is an average yield of 38.5 ; bushels per acre. 1 1 “Corn is being harvested in every j section of Indiana and many good . yields are being reported along with ; the reports of damage from frost," says the monthly statement which was based on numerous reports from all counties in the state and personal observations by M. M. j Justin statistician, and Frank L. | Merrill, junior statistician. "Seeding of wheat and rye was I finished later than usual and is going into November small in size but good in appearance," said the re-1 port. “Potato harvest continues disa; pointing to many growers, the dry weather following the heavy ! late spring rains having been harmful to the crop. A yield of 80 bushels per acre and a production of 4,960bushels is now estimated for the I state. Sweet potatoes also are below earlier estimates, due to the same adverse weather." The soybean harvest has appar-1 | ently borne out early estimates of a heavy crop. Heavy rains just before or following Nov. 1 have retarded harvest and may injure the quality of some beans, the report says. Frosts around Oct. 1 injured i some late plated beans. It is gen-1 erally onceded by those interested in crop that yields are not only better than usual but that a larger percent of the crop is Ibeing saved for seed than usual. A state yield of I’7 bushels iper acre and a production of 5„270,000' bushels is now the estimate. Pasture condition was reported lower than last month although re- ’ cent rains and warmer weather had i done much to help pastures after. frost damage in. late September I and early October. The apple crop. I 67 per cent normal, will total 1,903,1 000 bushels against 1,020,000 a year ’ ago and pear production will be ‘ 1170.000' busheles compared to 178,- ' 000 last year.

COMMANDER OF ITALIAN ARMY DACK TO ITALY Gen. De Bono Is Recalled From Ethiopia To Italian Duty Rome, Nov. 16.—(U.FD—Gen. Emilio de Bono, commander id chief of the armies in East Africa, was promoted to field marshal today und coincidently recalled to duty in Italy. Marshal Pietro Badoglio, chief of the general staff, Was nfflned to succeed him. General Affredo Guzzoni, commander of tne Rome territorial division, was named vice governor of Eritrea. De Bono has been governor general of the East African colonies as well as comniander-in-chief and Badoglio will inherit this post. Complete Thrust (Editor’s note: The following dispatch is the first authentic account of the present situation on the southern front in Ethiopia, clarifying much confusion as to the Italian army's position and strategy. Sandro Sandri. United Press staff correspondent, is the only newspaper man with the Italian southern army.) By Sandro Sandri, UP. Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1935, by UP.) With the army ot Gen. Rodolfo Graziani, north of Corrahei, Ethiopia, Nov. 15. — (Via Mogadiscio, Italian Somaliland. Nov. 16.—<U.R) —The Italian southern army has ' completed with perfect precision a lightning like thrust through southeastern Ethiopia intended to harass and demoralize opposing Ethiopian warriors. The movement was comparable to a hornet's attack. It took advance units up the Fafan river valley to within 30 kilometers (18.63 miles) of the important strategic town of Sasa Baneh. Sasa Baneh is 180 kilometers (112 miles) southt of Jijiga, the chief Ethiopian war base in the east and south. Upon completion of the movement with a sharp fight against Ethiopian Troops, the advance units moved back according to plan to Gabre Darre, 68 miles north of Gorrahei, the new Italian advance base. ) I reported the fall of Gorrahei las I saw it with the Italian columns who advanced from tefrri-

tory previously occupied. This was the end of one operation of a series carefully planned by Gen. Rodcflfo Graziani. The next operation was to mop up and pursue the Ethiopians who fled in disorder from Gorra'.el. The second operalTm developed in two places. One was the consolidation of the territory immediately ahead of the army Morth of Gorrahei. This was completed with the capture of 200 prisoners in the territory along with two 37 millimetre (1% inch) guns of Swiss make, many rifles of various types, ammunition and foodstuffs. This action brought about the submission of many chieftains and their warriors, representing many tribes in the Ogaden region, and the return of other tribes to their territories along the Fafan river valley. The prisoners taken, including many officers, were almost starvled. They were told that Makale in the north had been taken by the Italians and they were greatly concerned. | Completion of this first phase of the second movement brought the arrival of complete tranquility in the Gorrahei and Fafan valley region of the army’s advance. The second phase was that ofi a hornet-llke dash whose object, was to sting, and further demoralize, troops and warriors retreating toward the main Ethiopian I army in the Jijiga-Harar area. • A column under General Malettl advanced with astonishing rapidity up the Fafan valley. It aimed at getting into direct contact with the fleeing Ethiopians, defeat them and return to the starting point. This plan was realized. 0 —7 — Portland Man Is Given Appointment Indianapolis, Nov. 16 — (U.R) —• Appointment of Fred Beclidolt, Portland, as field representative of the Indiana income tax department was announced today.
