Implements of War Are Defined by Roosevelt ln Statement
Heavy Rifles Are Included
W eapon Manufacturers To Register W ith Board Before Nov. 29
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—— President Roosevelt issued a proclamation todav defining “imple-! ments of war" under the neutrality act and took another step to insure that the United States keeps out of the conflict now threatening European nations.
The list conforms closely to those now used in embargoes against China. Uaraguav, Bolivia, and Cuba. It uicludes all rifles of 26.5 caliber and above, making the Japanese army’s standard 26.5 caliber rifle the minimum.
Different List The list is not the embargo list which the president is required to j issue automatically against any! nation that declares war before I March 1.	j
If an embargo is declared Mr. [ Roosevelt must proclaim a new, list, but it may contain the same t items or may be made even more j inclusive.
Registration Necessary Manufacturers of any of the equipment listed must register with the cabinet munitions board by November 29. It is estimated between 500 and 1,000 American firms

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—<l.P>— President Roosevelt revealed today that he plans to allocate all that is left of the $4,800,000,000 works fund before he leaves on his western vacation trip tomorrow night.
Receiving newspaper correspondents for the only press conference in the brief interval between his return from Hyde Park and his departure, Mr. Roosevelt spoke on | a variety of subjects and gave re-I newed evidence of his ability to accomplish a vast amount of administrative work in short time.
PWA Projects The works fund allocations, for 1 instance, involve the earmarking ! of approximately $200,000,000 for projects approved by PWA Admin-j istrator Harold L. Ickes, another : $100,000,000 to Ickes for housing, and approximately $600 000,000 for | the small projects of the ' Works ' Progress administration.
Disposal of these millions is only one of the many acts of the chief I executive accomplished or scheduled during the four-dav period. Others

“The gaps in our ranks are terrific—I may have to get in and play myself—but you can send word to your paper that the stalwart Trojan War Horse will carry on this fall!”
With these grim words on his lips, Coach Ha) Roberts set about his great crusade Tuesday afternoon, the job of finding men with | mouths to fit his bass horns, stomachs on which to carry bass drums, and brave men to whiff into his piccolos.
The first workout lasted an hour and a half, and culminated in the first tragedy of the year for this daring sport, practice adjourning when a frosh aspirant split his oral protrusion on a high C. Snappy marches flooded the atmosphere as the boys worked the kinks out of their dormant muscles. Coach Roberts stopped the practice for a few minutes in order to give a pep talk.
“Boys," he said, as tears flowed down some of the last year’s lettermen’s countenances, “boys, our

When questioned regarding vacancies in the band. Director Roberts stated that no one who has ever blown aa instrument need be dubious about his chances of making the varsity squad. The deadline for tryouts is established as this night, so enterprising band applicants had better rise to the occasion immediately.
Regular rehearsals will be held every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon at 4:30, besides special practice periods on Saturday morning.
At this point the reporter was interrupted from his train of serious thought by a thud, as of cleat-ed shoes on porkhide. “Punts?” he inquired of Coach Roberts. “No,” firmly replied that worthy strategist, “I don’t want to see any punts in that article of yours.” Which proves what a straight-laced man he i^

ROME, Sept. 25— <l'.P>—Efforts among Britain. France, and Italy to find a peaceful solution of the Italo-Ethiopian quarrel outside the League of Nations were threatened with failure tonight when Britain insisted that Ethiopia’s independence must be maintained.
Premier Benito Mussolini, who reportedly would welcome a compromise which would not harm Fascist prestige, refused to negotiate on the British condition.
Received by Suvich French Ambassador Count Charles De Chambrun had an appointment tonight with Mussolini to discuss revival of negotiations among the three signers of the 1S06 treaty. However, he was received by II Duce’s undersecretary for foreign affairs, Fulvio Suvich.
French, British, and Italian officials have engaged for several days in frantic negotiations seeking a peaceful way out of the impasse which Italians now see not merely as a crisis with Ethiopia but as danger of conflict with the British navy and a threat to Fascist prestige.
De Chambrun Silent What Suvich told De Chambrun was not revealed. However, it was reported that Italy may go before the league assembly demanding revision of the mandate system under article 44 of the league covenant. This would be opposed strenuously by France and Britain as playing into hands of Germany and others who would upset the post-war territorial alignment.
There has been a distinct deflation of the hot war spirit here since Britain asserted her determination to protect Ethiopian sovereignty and concentrated her navy in the Mediterranean.
Local S.C. alumnae will usher In the 1935 football season Saturday morning when members of the Los Angeles Trojan Women’s club gather for breakfast at 10 Chester place.
A football theme with cardinal and gold decorations will be the feature of the year’s first meeting, scheduled for I1 o’clock.
Having recently returned from a student tour in Italy and Egypt. Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford will address those present regarding the present war crisis in the Mediterranean. Mrs. Rufus B. von Klein-Smid will also speak. Her topic will be “The New Town and Gown Foyer.”
Indications to date are that more than one hundred women wiU attend. Including club presidents from Glendale. Pasadena, Ontario, and Santa Ana. who will be present as guests of honor.
Mrs. Wallace Linville, president of the Los Angeles Trojan Women’s club, will preside at the meeting. Other officers of the organization include Mrs. Herbert F. Blasier, vice-president: Mrs. Bertram Sandham, secretary: and Harriet Louise Touton, treasurer.
Among those present will be Christy Fox. former A.S.U.S.C. vice-president, and Miss Beth Tib-bett.
Benny Goodman, his clarinet, and his Palomar orchestra will hold forth tomorrow morning in Bovard auditorium at the first of what A.S.U.S.C. President Eames Bishop claims will be "the finest series of rallies ever held at S.C.” The occasion will unite the Trojan student body for a propram of yells, talks, and introductions before the S.C.-Montana conference game Saturday.
The appearance of Goodman with his band .it is understood, marks the opening of a new drive by student leaders to bring top ranking entertainers to assemblies. A capacity Bovard auditorium audience is expected tomorrow morning to participate in a series of kells to be led by Ed Hallock, yell-king. and to be introduced to Coaches Doug Fessenden and Howard Jones, and the captains of the Trojan and Grizzly teams, by Hal Newell, chairman of the rally committee.
Bishop will present Goodman and his men te the students. The list of songs which they wiU play include “Dixie Land Band,” “By the Alamo,” “I Wished on the Moon,” “Darktown Strutters’ Ball,” and a college medley.
Goodman has been at the Palomar nightly since the middle of August and is now in the final week of his engagement. Like numbers of other leaders who play solo instruments, he has a specialty, too, the clarinet. Goodman became nationally known last year on NBC's three-hour “Let’s Dance’’’ program. In “Dixieland Band." Gene Kruppa, the orchestra’s peppy drummer, provides amusement. Jess Stacy. Goodman's pianist, played his first piano on a steamboat sailing on the Mississippi between St. Louis and New Orleans.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 25-(l’E>—A mysterious Nathan Farber, purported go-between for the interests who allegedly “framed” Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Billings ln the 1916 San Francisco preparedness day bombing, tonight became the key figure of the famous convicts’ 18-year fight for freedom and vindication.
It was Israel Weinberg, San Francisco and Cleveland taxicab and jitney driver—himself once a defendant ln the dynamiting case —who Injected the Russian’s name into hearings on Mooney’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus and sent cries of “frame-up” resounding through a packed hall of justice courtroom today.
All rumors of personal feud erased by their open exhibition of ccmradery, Mooney and Billings sat at counsel table, frequently whispering together or to defense counsel as Weinberg began his testimony.
He told of being arrested in connection with the dynamite outrage in which 10 persons died and 3<! others were injured.

Panhel Council Changes Rush Ruling
Amending the ruling which states that the Student Union Ls “off campus,” the Panhellenic council yesterday passed a law which makes the second, third, and fourth floors of the Student Union “on campus.” Only the first floor, which includes the student book-store and the fountain, is “off campus.” This ruling clears up many difficulties experienced by organized and non-organized women during the two weeks of rushing, as communication between them in the Stud ant Union has hitherto been forbidden under the specific regulations.
Kathleen Murphy, Panhellenic president, has requested each fraternity to hand in a list of its rushees to the dean’s office by chapel hour, Monday, in order that the eligibility list may be ready by Thursday.
