ADDIS ABABA. Nov. 26—(U^)— Couriers from the south brought word to Emperor Haile Selassie today that the inspired Ethiopian forces in the south had hurled Gen. Rodolfo Graziani’s armies back to the approximate line they held at the outbreak of hostilities.
The Italians reportedly have evacuated Gorahai and Gerlogubi and have fallen back to their old strongholds at Wardare and Ualual. Ualual. scene of the bloody clash last December, which precipiated the war, is in the disputed district between Ogaden and Italian Somaliland.
An Ethiopian victory at the An-nele (Anale) wells in the Fafan valley in which the Ethiopians seized four tanks, two armed trucks and four troop transport trucks, broke the spirit of Italian Somaliland troops, government advices said.
The Dubats fled in panic before the vicious Ethiopian onslaught, abandoning the trucks, which were jammed with bodies of men mowed down by Ethiopian gunfire.
The Ethiopians turned captured machine guns upon the Italians and took a terrific toll.
The victory turned into a rout— so the courier reported—as the retreating Italians fell bacok upon Gorahai and Gerlogubi. Those armed positions were abandoned by their garrisons, which fell back upon Wardare and Ualual.

Hauptmann Points Finger at ‘Jafsie’
Condon Should Tell of His Part in Murder, Says Convicted Slayer
TRENTON. N. J.. Nov. 26—'U.P)— Bruno Richard Hauptmann demanded tonight from the death house at Trenton state prison that the garrulous old man called Jafsie “make a full confession” concerning the kidnaping and murder of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr.
What it was that Hauptmann wanted Dr. John F. Condon to confess was not explained in the stUted, scrawling note that lawyers brought out of death row on this, Hauptmann’s 37th birthday.
At his home in the Bronx. New York, where the door was melodramatically secured with a heavy chain and bolt, it was said that Jafsie was out of town on another of those mysterious errands that have consumed so much of his time since the April night in 1932 when he handed $50,000 across a cemetery wall as the price for the life and safety of a child already dead.
Out through a crack in the door peered a frightened maid—a woman who talked in the same heavy German accent that Hauptmann spoke from the witness stand in Flemington early this year. No, she didn’t know where Dr. Condon was or when he would return. She spoke excitedly as though some far-reaching intrigue was being plotted, and said no one was allowed to enter the house.
Ruth Bogardus will rule as Helen of Troy at the annual women’s Hi-Jinks to be given on Tuesday evening of Homecoming week. Dean Pearle Aiken-Smith announced today.

nations of the world heard President von KleinSmid explain the potential influence wielded by the world's uiversities in furthering international understanding.
“It is not to be heralded that world peace can be brought about through the work of universities alone. Yet it is a known fact that results far more permanent have been gained through the agencies of patience, good-will, and understanding than ever have been the case in course of war,” Dr. von KleinSmid continued.
He brought out also the fact that a large majority of nations have learned the futility of war and that the temporary glory of war destroys almost instantaneously the greater permanent glory of culture and education.

There will be a naked woman in town tomorrow night, all right, and she wiU pose before an art class, but every student will have to bring a birth certificate to prove he or she is past 21 years of age. Anybody less than 21 will have to recess to the back room and paint flowers.
