Wide asphalt military roads bad been built from Italian Eri,rea to the French Somaliland border, it was asserted. As ■ aese reports were published premier Edouard Daladier comp.eted h:s diplomatic program bj asking Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax, foreign secretary of Great Biitair. 'o stop here on their waj to visit Premier Benito Mussolini at Koine in mid January. It was understood that Daladier and Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet wanted to emphasize that they were not prepared to cone.-de any French territory to Italy and that they did not agree to any Italian effort to get Adolf Hitler of Germany and Chamberlain to ■mediate.” There seemed to be a feeling, perhaps as the result 7>f the Mu meh agreement for the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia, that premier Mussoliir might induce Chamberlain to make "concessions" which France would be called upon to make good The invitation to Chamberlain and Haltfax was the third part oi Daiadier's diplomatic program. Firs’ was the note delivered in Rome yesterday, acknowledging ui Italian announcement that tin French-Italian accord of 1935 was no longer in effect, and asserting In return that France is prepared neither to concede territory to Italy nor to grant additional privilege to Italians resident in I Tunisia.

Because of his reported wealth and because of a heretofore unreported attempted hold-up, robbery is believed to have been the cause Geisler told authorities that about two months ago, while walking through the woods to his mail box. he had been accosted by an armed and masked bandit, who after , searching him. told him to "go back to your house." Geisler described this man as tall and slender. An effort is being made to connect the two. He did not report this until after he was shot Thursday night. The assailant Thursday was probably frightened away by Geisler's groans, as nothing was stolen, authorities said. After the attack Thursday night, Geisler lay on the floor of the summer kitchen in near freezing weather, suffering from a lack of blood and too weak to summon help. Saturday noon, Elton Vinning, rural mail carrier, noticed Geisler had not collected his Friday’s mail and notified a neighbor, Laurel Bowen, who investigated and found him suffering on the floor. A physician was called and Geisler was then brought to the Adams county memorial hospital. Receives Treatment He was treated to counteract the effects of the shock and exposure. but the bullets were not removed and will not be extracted unless complications arise. An X-ray examination revealed that one struck the base of the skull and shattered, to spread over an area of approximately an inch. The other lodged at the base of the skull. Each entered back of the ear on opposite sides of the head, but neither entered the brain or spinal column, thus not causing locomotive paralysis and accounting for the fact that he did not lose consciousness. From the size ot the wound, the X-ray examinations and the size of the holes in the window and screen, it is believed the bullets were of a small calibre. 76th CONGRESS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) i recommendations ami cspiujally i his spending plans for the next fiscal year will determine partly j how ’ar conservative Democrats I will carry their rebellion against I new deal leadership.

The live-member committee was named at a Democratic caucus last week and charged with the task of drafting and recommending legislation to he supported by the party in the 7939 session. Several subjects were to be discussed today, including amend- | ments to the liquor law and return of the direct primary for nominating candidates to state offices and the U. S. senate. Sen. Jacob Weiss, I)., Indianapolis, announced he would propose that the committee recommend repeal of the weight tax law for trucks and enactment of a flat fee of $5 annually for registration of all automobiles. This registration fee, he said, would reduce state revenue approximately $900,000 annually. Weiss also would change the issu anee date for automobile licenses from Jan. 1 to March 1. The weight tax law, he asserted, lias failed because it has been contested in the courts ever since its enactment two years ago and the state has collected no revenue. Members of the committee besides Weiss are Sens. Eugene .1 Payton, South Bend; Walter S. Chambers, Newcastle; William II O'Brien, Jr.. Lawrenceburg, and William I).
