SANCTIONS MAY DRAW BRITAIN INTO CONFLICT Cabinet Decides to Get Public Mind Ready for Worst. (Continued From Page One) “gesture” to Italy, the government Indicated its attitude to the sort of peace feelers that, are being put out from the continent. Agree on Embargo 'Copvrlcht, 1335, by United Press) GENEVA, Oct. 17— An embargo on selected key products to Italy, intended to cripple its industry, was agreed on today by a League of Nations subcommittee. The products include manganese ore, chromium, tin, iron, ferrolmagane e, amalgam, tungsten, molybden, radium, aluminum and nickel. The economic subcommittee of the League's ‘ neral staff” ot 18 nations voted to recommend the embargo to the League’s penalty committee. on which all member nations are represented. Their selected products comprise “list No. 1” of a three-part classification of products necessary for war, of which it is hoped to deprive Italy entirely in time. This listh No. 1 consists of raw materials whose production and world markets are predominately controlled by League members, and therefore may more easily be controlled. To the original list, however, the sub-committee added aluminum and nickel. These had been on “list No. 2,’’ comprising materials partly or largely controlled by non-Lcague states. Swiftly as the League was moving with the difficult business of applying penalties, interest turned for the moment to what was regarded as (•rowing French-British tension. France Key to Crisis BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srrinns-Ilnwarrl Fnrricn Editor WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.—More serious by tar than the war in Ethiopia, in the opinion of inside observers here, is the conflict between Great Britain and France over what to do with Italy, and how and when to do it. The earliest possible showdown is being sought by France’s Premier Laval. He favors pressure on both Italy and Ethiopia to effect peace by compromise. Not only then, but Europe and the world, ultimately would be the gainers thereby. Great Britain, for empire reasons, apparently will be satisfied with nothing less than the backdown of Mussolini—which would mean his elimination from the Italian, and therefore from the European, scene. Upon the outcome of this struggle between Paris and London, France's attitude with regard to the application of sanctions to Italy is seen to depend. If II Duce proves adamant, and refuses to listen to peace overtures save on the basis of an Ethiopian protectorate, France is said to be prepared to go along with Britain on a program of progressively severe penalties. If Britain turns out to be the stubborn one, however, cold-shoul-dering any save a disastrous peace for Italy, Premier Laval is expected to oppose any measures tending to bring the Ethiopian conflict to the Mediterranean and to Europe. The French Chamber of Deputies meets this month. Laval will outline to it what he has done, and what he proposes to do. at Geneva. If there is much criticPm, he will call for a vote of confidence and resign if not upheld. Reports from London are that fo’-mor Premier Edouard Herriot and other members of the French delegation at Geneva “had felt obliged to disavow Laval’s actions there.” Considerable salt should be sprinkled on any such rumor. If true, however, Laval will insist that the French Parliament decide between him and his critics. For he is said to be unalterably opposed to the transfer of the Ethiopian war to the European continent. That Herriot thinks differently would be surprising. Like most French statesmen, he stands by the League. But he. no less than Laval, represents the French masses, who desire to keep out of war. France’s domestic situation ts causing the government much anxiety. The depression struck her later than it did most countries. But now, when others are showing signs of coming out of i , her indices are not so heartening. Laval is desperately attempting, therefore, to carry out a program of domestic recovery. Were he now to throw France into war with Italy, largely to prevent that country gaining a foothold among Britain's African colonies, not only would he risk almost certain overthrow, but possibly civil war. The French would light invasion but it would be difficult to mobilize them for less.

LEWIS BLOCKS PATH OF LABOR CONSERVATIVES Loses on Industrial Unions but Defeats Rightists on Other Issues. i By Timrs Special ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. Oct. 17. —American sports organizations were urged by the American Federation of Labor today to boycott the Olympic in Germany next year in a resolution which bitterly denounced the Nazi regime. The federation also denounced as “unethical” the tactics and methods of the Americann Liberty League. BY HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Oct. 17. The sturdy figure of John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers today stood squarely and threateningly athwart the path of the conservative chieftains, of the American Federation of Labor. Their red-baiting campaign has ! been sunk; a formidable civil war threatens them; they have been humiliated—ail by the insurgent leadership of beetling-browed, oratorical Lewis and a motley crew of liberals, industrial unionists, and a few Communists. The conservatives were victorious i over industrial unionists only after a battle which was fought out through six hours of hot debate lasting until nearly midnight. On the roll call vote the old-style craft union plan of organization won, 18,025 to 10,924. Anti-Red Project in Ruins Today the pet project of President william Green and Vice President Matthew Woll, a bigger and better red-chasing campaign alleged by its opponents to be designed for use in punishing militant union elements, lay in ruins. The A. F. of L. executive council confessed defeat by dropping its formally advanced project for an amendment to the federation’s constitution authorizing suspension of any union which “represented” Communists —the council to decide who is a Communist. The liberal forces, controlling about 11,000 votes of the 29,000 in the convention, forced the action merely through announcement byMr. Lewis of their intention to oppose it. Mr. Woll and Mr. Green, unable to muster the necessary twothirds, are falling back on a resolution like last year's deploring Communism. The amendment under present plans is to die in committee. Most observers believe Mr. Lewis will not move now toward secession, but that the A. F. of L. executives will have to take quick, progressive steps to avoid disaster a year hence. Others hold that the warning of this year’s rebellion here will be lost on the leadership.

Cautious Boy Detective Finds Revolver, Turns It Over to Real Police

& r * IPySak jg§\ ’N jB V|

•—• Shown aiming his water pistol at the cameraman is Paul Ruby Jr., 7-vear-old “G-man” who yesterday found a loaded .38 revolver sticking in a fence in the rear of 1705 N. Ne w Jersey-st. He is worrying because police appeared to spoil possible fingerprints on the weapon. • • . •

Seven-Year-Old ‘Sherlock’ Discovers Weapon in Alley Treasure Trove; Disgusted at Cops Who ‘Spoil’ Fingerprints He Guarded. On his way heme from school yesterday afternoon, 7-year-old Paul Ruby Jr. found a revolver sticking in a fence in the rear of 1705 N. New Jersey-st. That was funny, he thought, a gun sticking in a fence.

He looked closer. He could see shells in the magazine. Paul’s blue eyes nearly popped from his tow head. He had played “cowboy ‘n’ outlaw” with coat-hanger bows and willow arrows—but a real gun—and loaded, too. . . . “I knew I shouldn't touch it because there might be finger-prints,” Paul said, in describing the discovery. “So I told one of my friends who is a school traffic officer. He called the police.” Paul’s uncovering of the gun by no means was an accident, according to a group of neighborhood boys and girls who gathered at Paul’s home, 205 E. 17th-st. “Wherever Paul goes,” one freckled lad said through a couple of broken front teeth, “something always happens. He's always finding something. Last week he found a swell water pistol.” A month ago Paul said he had found a billfold in almost the exact spot where he found the gun yesterday. Two weeks later he picked up a purse a little farther down the alley from the locality of his first discoveries. Both he turned over to the owners as soon as they could be found. Asked if he wouldn’t have liked to keep the gun to add to his collection of toy weapons, Paul shook his head.

“No, I’d rather have a water-pistol. They’re not so dangerous.” When Paul grows up he wants to “fly around in an airplane hunting crooks. It’s not so easy to get shot that way.” Paul still is worrying about that gun he found. “Those cops messed up all the fingerprints when they came. One of them just picked up the gun and put it in the pocket of their car,” he said disgustedly.

JAPANESE RULE IN NORTH CHINA SEENJMMINENT Separation of Five Provinces Looms, Says Nippon Spokesman. By United Press SHANGHAI. Oct. 17.—Japan may find it necessary to separate five provinces of North China from administration by the central Chinese j government, a spokesman at the Japanese embassy informed the United Press today. Such action, he explained, would be necessary unless Nanking voluntarily co-operates with Tokyo in “promoting the natural economic affinity between North China and Manehukuo. and in combating communistic influence working through I outer Mongolia.” The provinces mentioned in the j | spokesmen's exposition of Japanese policy are Hopei, Shantung, Suiyuan. j Chahar and Shansi. Discussing Chinese fears that Ja-' pan is organizing a movement to di- j vorce North China from Nanking’s control, the Japanese spokesmen said these “would be warranted only if Nanking intends to refuse to co- j operate with Japan.” The Chinese fear Japan may ■ adopt a high-handed policy in North ! China, tantamount to dictation of l its future status. The present pre-occupation of the European powers with the crisis I precipitated by the Italo-Ethiopian war has further increased Chinese nervousness. Chinese circles feel strongly that any appeal they might make against Japanese penetration j would receive scant attention at Geneva while the Afro-European crisis is engaging the attention of the statesmen there.
