Marches Probably Defense Preparation for War,
Not Aggression
GENEVA. Sept. 30.—Ru- I mors that Italian troops had crossed the Ethiopian border caused League of Nations officials to prepare tonight for sudden convocation of the council to consider penalties.
The official league spokesman told the United Press that Dr. Enrique Ruiz Guinzau, president of the council, would summon an emergency meeting as soon as any such report was verified. Telegraphic notification from Ethiopia presumably would be accepted as verification.
Ruling to Bf Made
The league first must ascertain
whether the reported troop movements on the Ethiopian frontier are preparations for invasion or an accomplished act of aggression.
Latest reports to league officials indicate the Italian movements merely are in preparation for conflict.
Probably Defense Measures
Italians said that Rome had no knowledge of troop activities at Assab, Ualual, or Asmara, and that if the Ethiopian advices were true they probably referred only to defense measures following the Ethiopian mobilization announcement.
The British delegation believed the council would convene within 48 to 72 hours. Russian Delegate Maxim Litvinoff privately request-
Interfratemity council members wiU hold their first meeting of the year at 7:30 tomorrow night in 418 Student Union.
Ben Franklin, president of the council, stated that the question of abolishing hell week would come before the assembly for discussion. Two other problems, that of the fraternity council paying for fraternity sport trophies, and that of the amateur
hour program, will also be presented to the group.
