Eden Will Tell
Cabinet Of Italy’s
Plans In Africa
(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, June 29, —Concerning
his attempts to dissuade Mussolini
from his African campaign, it is un
derstood Captain Eden will tell the
British cabinet that Mussolini stood
adamant against any other solution
of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute, than
the conquest of the East African
Empire, and any attempt at Geneva
to interfere with that plan would
lead to the prompt withdraw-al by
Italy from the League of Nations,
Eden is understood to have outlin
ed Mussolini’s reputed plan of ac
tion, first, the arraignment of Eth
opia before the league, as being un
fit to belong or claim the league’s
protection, and this to be followed
by a demand for an Italian protect
orate over the empire, and when
that fails, as it is almost sure to do,
Italy will invade Ethiopia to “eff
ect a complete solution” of the bor
der disputes, by force.

Deadly Spider To
Test An Antidote
(By The Associated Press)
AMARILLO, Texas, June 29 —An
undertaking parlor was selected by
Gene Elo newspaperman who will
subject himself to the bite of a ven
omous black widow spider.
The thirty-year old reporter took
a day off for the experiment, and
said that if he survives he will sub
ject himself to another attack to see
if, as some doctors contend, once
bitten one becomes immune.
He said he had no dependents and
did not feel that if the bite should
prove fatal, it would incurr tragedy

a physician planned to proceed with
the experiment by first allowing
mice and rats to be bitten in an ef
fort to procure a more successful
antidote than is now available.

of Eugene Carr, special representative of the Federal Emer

the elimination of all misfits among the workers, as rapidly
as possible. His arrival gave impetus to the construction
of log cabin homes.

GOVERNMENT MOVING
MORE GOLD IN SPECL4L
VAULT NEAR FUTURE
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, June 29, (Copyright A.P. 1935)—Pre
paring for another major transfer of the government’s huge
gold reserve, a secret order was disclosed Friday to rush the
construction of a new subterranean vault in the center of
Fort Know, Kentucky, thirty-one miles from Louisville.
Officials reluctantly disclosed that it was to be built, in
continuation of the policy of moving precious monetary re
serves of the government away from vulnerable coast cities,
to more isolated inland territory.
The policy, instituted months ago, has resulted in the
shipment of nearly three million doliaVs worth of gold from
San Francisco to Denver.
Treasury officials in charge of the plans for the new
building, asked to have them ready by August first. No
reason was given for the haste.
The site selected is not only in the middle of Fort Know,
but is isolated from railroad and highways. The only in
structions given for the building was that it was to have ten
thousand square feet of floor space and was to cost not more
than four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. While treas
ury guards will be assigned to protect the treasure, soldiers
of the garrison will be immediately available in case of an
emergency.
