In charge of Judging the competing talent is a committee composed of A. S. U. S. C. President Eames Bishop; Knight President Hal Newell; Amazon President Ida Mae Compere; Louis Gough, alumni secretary: Harold William Roberts, musical organizations head; and Cloyde Dalzell of the School of Speech.

Gugsa grinned widely as he drove around town in an Italian automobile, apparently enjoying "civilization.” He is an ordinary appearing young man and in America might be taken for a Pullman car porter.

He has a bodyguard of 1500 men at the Italian lines awaiting his return.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13. — (IIP) — A trading market—quick in and out operations — appeared likely this week in view of uncertainty over inflation on war news.
The sharp improvement in the industrial list last week brought a little more encouragement. But it was not sufficient for all around bullishness and caution continued among most traders.
The stock exchange house of of Homblower & Weeks said of inflation:
War News Watched
“Whether or not the threat of inflation will take a firm hold at this time remains to be seen. The possibilities of it doing so later in the year seem likeiy enough as the time draws near for congress to convene and take up the bonus and farm tenant legislation again.”
War news was watched carefully, especially possibilities of the Italo-Ethiopian trouble spreading as League of Nations sanctions are extended against Italy. But there is little or no financial activity—other than continuance of the gold influx—as result of this. Traders and business generally are more inclined to mark time awaiting the outcome.
The magazine Steel said of the war situation today:
Causes Strong Demand
“To some extent the present wavering tendency in steel is traceable to war influences, uncertainties being felt by many consumers, a situation somewhat like that which prevailed at the outbreak of the world war in 1914.
"The war already has resulted in strong demand on the American steel industry from Italy and other European countries for some of the products of its coke ovens, such as benzol and toluol, used in high explosives. It has led to larger buying of copper and other non-ferrous metals.”
Subcommittee Plans Boycott Against Italy
Prohibition of Credit, also Refusal of Loans to Duce, Are Adopted
Fifty Nations Are Included
Britain Asks More Drastic Measures than Have Been Effected
By Frederick Kuh
Copyright, 1935, by United Press.
GENEVA, Oct. 13.—(IIP)—A resolution calling for complete rupture of financial relations between 50 league nations and Italy was adopted by a league subcommittee after nearly three hours’ debate tonight.
The resolntion was said by members of the financial subcommittee of the league “sanctions committee” to provide for seven specific financial blows against the Fascist government.
50 Powers Co-operate The seven-point program—second step in the progressive penalties aimed at bringing Premier Benito Mussolini to terms—will be reported by the financial subcommittee at 10:30 ajn. tomorrow to the so-called “small committee.” After adoption or modification here, it will be passed on to the main body of 50 co-operating powers to be put into effect.
The first action was an arms i embargo against Italy and simul- i taneous raising of the embargo against Ethiopia. The financial or credit boycott actually would make official a situation which has existed for several months. ItaJv has j been unable to obtain credit in world financial centers because of her precarious internal economy, j coupled with steady depletion of gold reserves.
Eden Threatens Capt. R. Anthony Eden of Great Britain, who is taking the leadership in enforcement of sanctions, wants the league to go on to a still more drastic step—complete boycott of Italian goods.
French and British economic ex- I perts conferred with Eden at the British delegations’ headquarters tonight regarding the third proposed step, cessation of trade with Italy. It was understood they agreed on a list of key products.
Oil, other minerals, copper, iron, manganese, coal, nickel, and possibly cotton were believed primary products the league would seek to keep from Italians.
Specific Nature Unknown The specific nature of the seven points agreed upon by the financial subcommittee could not be learned prior to adoption by the league “general staff” in charge of sanctions but it was understood some difficulty had been encountered in dealing with refusal of commercial credits. Much was said to depend upon the attitude of United States bankers, exporters and merchants regarding commercial credits. Hence the subject may have been dealt with somewhat vaguely.
Another-moot point, whether the Bank of France would continue to buy Italian gold, likewise was surrounded with vagueness.
League’s Sunday Activities Are Slight
By United Press.
There was a lull Sunday in developments on the Ethiopian battlefront and only preparatory activity on the League of Na-tion-vs-Italy economic front. Developments include:
Rome—Chances of Gugsa becoming “Pu Yi of Ethiopia,” described as “highest.” Government spokesmen denied formal annexation of Aduwa would be celebrated by De Bono. Press bitterly attacked Britain as fomenter of European war.
Addis Ababa—Officials expect new Italian offensive on all fronts before league sanctions take effect. Populace swept by “victory fever.” believing Aduwa recaptured and Ras Seyoum driving Italians toward sea.

MOSCOW, Oct. 13.—<UJ?)—Enmity between Japan and Soviet Russia threatened to flare into general frontier warfare tonight following official announcement of fighting between Japanese and Soviet patrols along the Amur river, which separates the Japanese fostered empire of Manchukuo from the Soviet East Siberian provinces.

Officers Exonerate Trojan In Veteran’s Death Inquiry
Harry C. Adams, S.C. freshman, was exonerated of blame by deputy sheriffs for fatally injuring Alvin M. Cavenaugh, 59, inmate of the Sawtelle National Soldiers’ home, early Saturday morning on Wilshire boulevard in front of the home.
W. Overholt, companion of Cavenaugh, also of the home, was not hurt, although reported to have been knocked down.
Col. R. A. Bringham, manager of the soldiers’ home, said Overholt told him after the accident that the men had neglected to use the pedestrian undercrossing a few yards farther down the street.
Officers blamed palm trees and a dark pavement for Adams’ failure to see the soldiers.
Adams, who is in his first year at Troy, is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity*. His family is prominent in the southland.
Riding with Adams was Marjorie Whalley. 17-year-old Santa Monica high school girl, talented dancer and film newcomer. Miss Whalley was reported suffering from shock when, several hours after the wreck, she learned of Cavenaugh’s death.
The two young people were returning to Miss Whalley’s home after attending a show.
