Bit United Press ROME, Jan. 24.—Italy today addressed a note to Britain and other sanctionist’ powers, protesting that military aid in event of an attack Britain's recent mutual accords for in the Mediterranean are “a danger to European peace.” “Such initiatives and such accords of a military character in fields foreign to the Italian-Ethio-pian conflict,” the note said, “are causing and already have caused an atmosphere of grave uneasiness and therefore a danger to European peace.” The note said Britain's measures were based on “a hypothesis which Italy must consider not only arbitrary, but completely non-exist-ent.” It then cited Premier Mussolini's speech on the day of Italy's "test mobilization,” in which he said Italy would do everything possible to keep a colonial conflict from assuming European proportions.

WPA CRACKS DOWN ON RELIEF WORKERS Hopkins Gives Priority to PWA Contract Jobs. By United Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 24,—Complaints from public works project contractors that relief workers are refusing offers of private employment resulted today in a complete reversal of labor policy under the $4,000,000,000 work-relief program. Works Progress Administrator Harry L. Hopkins ordered that workers are to be made available to PWA even though this involves postponing the initiation of WPA projects or curtailing work on active projects.” He informed all state WPA administrators that “projects of the Federal emergency administration of public works have been given definite-priority in the assignment of labor.” The implication of Mr. Hopkin's order was that relief workers who refused to accept PWA jobs would be denied the opportunity to work on WPA relief projects.

INDIANA DAZED DY AAA BLOW, STOKESFINDS Farmers Sadly Disappointed But Attitude Is One of Resignation. The chief national political writer of The Times Washington Bureau is swinging around the circle from coast to coast viewing the campaign situation. We present herewith the first of two Indiana stories. His articles from other Midwestern states and the Pacific Coast will follow. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Correspondent ROCKLAND, Ind., Jan. 24Farmers in this state are still a bit stunned by the Supreme Court slaughter of AAA, but whether they would support a Constitutional amendment it is too early to tellThey are slowly moved, and that usually by professional leadership. And in any case Congress has not yet tried its hand at a statutory remedy. There was resentment here over the verdict, but there have been no loud outcries or disturbance, no squawks except from the paid farm leaders who now are busying themselves with a substitute and with keeping the issue before the farmers. They Come in Cars Not all the farmers here were disturbed by AAA’s death. Some big ones have criticized Triple A in the past, though never refusing government checks. Farmers are mulling the. whole problem over at such meetings as one I attended. It was a neighborhood rally of the Johnson County Farm Burea\i which opened with a play presented by the youngsters. Outside the schoolhouse one picked his way between rows of automobiles —reminders of the good times the farmer has enjoyed under Triple A. Row by row, they were thrown into sharp relief by the schoolhouse lights. In a bare combination gymnasium and auditorium the farmers, their wives and their children were assembled. All Thinking About AAA A rather phlegmatic, solemn lot, they leaned over and nodded when the young county agent, who represents the Agriculture Department, smiled and said: “I know what you people are thinking about; ‘Are we going to get our checks or not?’ “I don’t know. That's up to Congress. Everything that c.in be done will be done. Os course it will take some time because of the Supreme Court decision. But as soon as the wreckage is cleared away they’ll do something about it.” The chief speaker was Hassil Schenck, vice president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, a big, broad hulk of a man who owns 140 acres in Boone County to the north. Doesn’t Feel Bad Now Spicing his remarks with stories, stressing his points with ironic darts, and employing an oratorical style that ranged from the Will Rogers sudden breathless catch of self-con-scious laughter to the fervent tone of the itinerant evangelist, he suggested their situation. “We thought we’d won,” he said, “until the Supreme Court came along and unwon us.” This provoked a chuckling grunt. “I felt pretty bad at first—but I feel better now.” His eyes twinkling, he continued: “I’m not going to, criticise the Su(Turn to Page Twenty) JUDGE PONDERSTcTiON ‘IN STERILIZATION CASE Pressing Criminal Charge Against Girl’s Mother Weighed.

STATE TO REST IN JACOBY CASE Prosecution Evidence Will Be Concluded Today, Spencer Says. The state today is to conclude its case against Forrest Jacoby, A1 Head, John Head and Jerry Dukes, according to Prosecutor Herbert M. Spencer. The quartet is on trial charged with the robbery of the William H. Roberts & Sons dairy last August. Yesterday, Cornelius West, Cincinnati apartment clerk, testified that Jacoby had rented an apartment there for almost a year and had paid SBS a month. He was known there as Forrest Eagle, an oil salesman, West testified. Al Head was known as Mr. Eagle, a brother; John Head as Mr. Michael and Dukes as Mr. Dougherty, Mr. West said. Homer R. Jones, also of Cincinnati, testified as to the purchase of several automobiles by the gang in that city. One of the most convincing witnesses was Darwin Nevins, a 33-year-old schoolboy who lives at 1351 Barth-av. He testified that he saw Al Head drive out of a garage near his home in a car that answered the description of the one used in the Beech Grove bank messenger holdup Sept. 9. Mrs. Christine Heitz, 1416 Shelby-st, previously had testified that she had rented this garage to John Head, who used the name of Mr. Michael. William Flowers, Negro custodian of the apartment at 36th-st and Washington-blvd, testified that Jacoby, whom he knew as Mr. Heiser, lived there with his wife for about a year. It was in a garage in back of this apartment that police say they found the car used in the bank messenger holdup.

EARLY MARTIAL LAW FINISH IS FORECAST Withdrawal of All Troops Expected Soon. Times Special NEW ALBANY, Ind., Jan. 24. Withdrawal of all Indiana National Guard troops in Floyd and Clark Counties and permitting local authorities to handle policing of the shirt plants in Jeffersonville and New Albany was forecast for today or tomorrow by guard officers. The formation of a strike arbitration committee and declaration of Col. Paul W. Fechtman, commander of the military area, that “we have done our duty. It is unfair to the taxpayers for us to stay here longer,” gave rise to discussion of complete withdrawal of the troons. The edict of martial law is expected to remain in force as it has been continued i Sullivan and Vigo Counties aftt the withdrawal of troops. Col. Fechtman scolded business men of New Albany, civic leaders, and city and county officials for failure to co-operate in handling the difficulties without outside interference. Two hundred business leaders attended the arbitration conference yesterday. Union leaders have proposed an arbitration of the wage scale. Company officials flatly refuse to arbitrate the strike. The first shipment of shirts in 16 weeks left the Jeffersonville plant yesterday. Frank E. Walsh, international organizer of the United Garment Workers of America, and four women members of a strike commitee returned here today after conferring with Gov. McNutt regarding strike conditions. A probe of charges made that the striking workers had been refused relief aid may be made by the Governor. ,r

VETO MESSAGE IS FOLLOWED BY 324-TO-61 VOTE

Sends Brief Hand-Written Statement Explaining His Stand. REFERS TO 1935 ACTION Can Not Change Convictions on Issue, President Tells Congress. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. President Roosevelt in a unique hand-written message of six paragraphs, vetoed the $2,237,000,000 bonus bill today and told Congress that he stands on his bonus veto of 1935 which objected to failure to provide new revenue to pay the veterans. Congressional rejection of the President’s bonus veto almost was certain. Refers to 1935 Action The President's veto message referred Congress to his previous message, stating that “in all respects the circumstances, arguments and facts remain essentially the same as those fully covered and explained by me only eight months ago.” In his veto of last year's Patman bill for payment in newly issued currency, the President emphasized the adverse effect such a measure would have on the “good credit” of the nation. He stressed the “complete failure” of Congress to provide additional taxes to pay for the bill. Immediate payment, Mr. Roosevelt contended then, “violates thp entire principle” of adjusted payment evolved in 1924. Able-bodied citiaans, because they wore uniforms and for no other reason, should be accoroed no treatment different from that accorded to other citizens, he said. Individual Relief First Relief of individuals and families “faced with starvation” should have prior claim to the nation’s resources over that of the veterans, he contended. The President’s message of six short paragraphs read as follows: “I return herewith, without my approval, H. R. Bill 9870. entitled ‘An Act to Provide for the Immediate Payment of World War Adjusted Service Certificates, for the Cancellation of Unpaid Interest Accrued on Loans Secured by Such Certificates, and for Other Purposes.’ “On May 22, 1935, in disapproving a bill to pay the bonus in full immediately instead of in 1945, I gave in person to a joint session of the Congress complete and explicit reasons for my actions. “Can Not Change Convictions” “The bill I now return differs from last year’s bill in only two important respects: First, it eliminates the issuance of unsecured paper currency to make the payments required and substitutes interestbearing bonds, which, however, may be converted into cash for face value at any time; second, it adds $263,000,000 to the total payments by forgiving interest after Oct. 1, 1931, on amounts borrowed. “In <all respects the circumstances, arguments and facts remain essentially the same as those fully covered and explained by me only eight months ago. “I respectfully refer the members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives to every word of what I said then. “My convictions are as impelling today as they were then. Therefore, I can not change them.” STOCKS GAIN AFTER HOUSE BONUS ACTION G. M., Chrysler React; Main Issues Up. By United Pres* NEW YORK. Jan. 24.—General Motors and Chrysler strengthened today when the House of Representatives overrode the President’s bonus veto. Other motors were firm. The main list was irregularly higher.

FINAL HOME PRICE THREE CENTS

President’s Curt Message, Six Paragraphs Long, Surprises Congress. SENATE ACTION IS NEXT Representatives’ Balloting Finished Hour After Note Is Read. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. The House impelled the soldier bonus toward payment today by overriding President Roosevelt’s veto of the baby bond payment bill, almost immediately after the hand-writ-ten six-paragraph veto message was read. The vote to override, completed less than an hour after reading of the veto message, was announced as 324 to 61. This compared with a vote of 322 to 98 recorded last year when the House overrode Mr. Roosevelt's veto of the Patman inflation bonus bill. The vote to override came quickly despite the fact Mr. Roosevelt’s curt veto caught Congress by surprise, The veto was expected but not today nor in the form presented. The House listened to the reading of the message, which was written out by hand by the President himself—probably an unprecedented act —and then smashed forward to an immediate vote. Senate Likely to Agree The bill, which provides payment to veterans of about $2,000,000,000 in bonds of SSO denomination cashable after June 15, now goes to the Senate. where concurrence in the House action was regarded as virtually inevitable. The vote on whether to override came after the House shouted down by a vote of 189 to 131 a motion to delay a vote until Monday. The roll call on overriding the veto followed immediately. The President's veto message today referred congress to his 1935 bonus veto message emphasizing that funds were not provided to pay for the bonus. Recently the apparently certain enactment of the bonus measure has added to speculation on the necessity of taxes to meet such unscheduled government obligations. The House wasted little time in deciding upon an immediate vote. Blanton Draws Laugh Rep. Thomas Blanton <D.. Tex.) drew laughter when he said the House shouldn’t put off the vote “because if we did hundreds of veterans organization posts would wire us and they ought to save their money.” Chairman Pat Harrison of the Senate Finance Committee, who sponsored the bonus bill in the Senate, confirmed the general opinion that the Senate would concur with the House. “It is my opinion that the veto will not be sustained. I shall vote to override the veto," he said. Last year the Senate upheld the Patman bill veto 40 to 54. DOLLAR HITS LOWEST MARK IN 10 MONTHS Sinks to 99.46 Cents Gold, as Sellers Show Inflation Fear. By United Pre* s NEW YORK. Jan. 24 —The American dollar today sank to its lowest level since November. 1934, when foreign and domestic traders, fearing inflation, exchanged it for foreign currencies. The selling was led by Americans. European and Far Eastern traders, alert on inflation prospects, joined the sellers, and the pound sterling soared to $5 for the first time in more than a year. All gold currencies went far above their parity. Because of the higher sterling price, the American equivalent of the London gold price spurted above the American parity and the dollar sank to 99.46 cents in gold. In French francs It was 99.47 cents. 5 PERISH IN HOME FIRE Mother, Three Children and Maid Are Victims of Blaze. By United Press ST. JOHNS. Newfoundland.
