League Sanctions
fBy The Associated Press)
Undated, Nov. 19, — The
application of sanctions by
League members was the sig
nal for an aerial attack on
Ethiopian forces in northern
Ferona, which, fliers said, had
resulted in two thousand
deaths among the native war
riors.
A squadron ol twenty air
planes led by II Duce’s son-in
law Count Galeazzo Ciano,
engaged in a pitched battle
with an Ethiopian army south
of Makale. The Ethiopians
turned their anti-aircraft fire
on the machine-gun and bomb
attack from the air, succeed
ing in bringing down Ciano’s
plane. He escaped uninjured
when another of the planes
landed and picked him up.
He then directed a double at
tack which led to the disrup
tion of a force of fifteen thou
sand Ethiopians and gave the
Fascists one of the most im
portant victories of the con
flict.
Mussolini’s two sons, Bruno
and Vittorio took part in the
attack. The Grand Council
of Italy gave approval today
of Mussolini’s program for1
conquest, and resistance of
the sanctions.

Sacramento, Nov. 19, —De
bates on the policies of the
National Grange next year,
are now in full swing, paced
by the plainly spoken demand
that the administration re
pudiate the newly signed
trade treaty with Canada.
The Grange warned the
country that the treaty would
prove injurious rather than
beneficial, and said that it
would campaign for repeal of
the reciprocal tariff act as
soon as congress meets, unless
the various trade treaties are
annulled.

Nome Daily Nugget,
Nome, Alaska.
We are soliciting your aid
for publishing some comment
in your paper regarding our
coming Christmas Seal Sale,
throughout the Territory of
Alaska. The cause for which
we are striving is a most im
portant and worthy one.
We inclose you herewith a
brief written by Dr. W. W.
Council, Chairman of the Al
aska Tuberculosis Committee
outlining the purposes and
disposition of funds which
will be derived from this sale
The entire committee deep
ly appreciates your coopera
tion in helping to make the
sale a success.
Thanking you, I remain,
E. W.‘ GRIFFIN,
Chairman Xmas Seal Sale
TO ALL PURCHASERS OF
CHRISTMAS SEALS:
The question has often been
asked of the Juneau headqua
rters as to what is being done
with the monies derived from
the sale of Christmas seals.
This letter is written to try
and give a concise explana
tion of what is being done or
attempted.
The first sale that is, the
1934 sale, was sponsored by
the National Tuberculosis As
sociation and 95', of the mon
ey was deposited to the credit
of the Alaska Tuberculosis
Committee in the B. M. Beh
rends Bank at Juneau.
This year the seal sale is
being put on by the Alaska
Committee of the Naational
Tuberculosis Association and
95' i of the receipts of this
sale will remain in Alaska to
be disposed of by the Alaska
Committee of the National
Tuberculosis Association and
the money is used principally
for overhead expenses of the
association.
The Alaska Committee is
trying to build up a large
enough fund to give us an
amount sufficient to put thru
a complete survey of all child
ren, both white and native,
up to the age of 24 or more,
or through the most suscept
ible age of Tuberculosis. At
the present time we have ap
proximately $3,000 in the B.
M. Behrends Bank at Juneau.
We hope to at least double
that amount this year. We
believe that at the next meet
ing of the legislature we will
probably have any sum

Possibility Duel
Between Hoover
And Borab 1936
(By The Associated Press)
Washington, Nov. 19, —
Word reached the capital to
day that friends of Borah
will enter his name for next
year’s presidential primaries,
unless they get a positive no
from the senator.
The word served to empha
size the possibility of a spec
tacular duel between Borah
and Hoover, either over the
nomination, or the course the
party shall take.
Both men are rapidly mov
ing into the leadership of two
opposing factions within the
party.
Gain Gonlrol Of
Austrian I
Seward Man is Sure Plans
Arc Afoot to Grab Austria
If Germany has her way
about it, Austria before long
will become part and parcel
of that country. That is the
view of Paul Novak, a recent
visitor in his native land.
Absorption by Germany is
not desired by Austria, of
that Mr. Novak is sure, but
there is no question in his
mind that the Hitlerites are
determined to annex the
country.
Germany Waits Chance
With the cutting out of Hun
gary and Yugoslavia, Austria
has been sadly reduced, both
as to geographical boundaries
and population, and would be
unable to put up any sort of
prolonged struggle, feels Mr.
Novak.
He is sure that Germany
in normal times would not at
tempt any such bold grab,
but in any upheaval and with
division of attention, Hitler
would watch his chance and
reach out the long Nazi aarm
and seize the coveted terri
tory.

Germany, Italy and England,
as well as Austria, had oppor'
