WINS RACE AGAINST DEATH
MUSSOLINI INVITES MUFTI TO LIBYA
JERUSALEM. Monday, Nov. 1— (L'.P)—Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy, self-proclaimed ‘protector of Islam,” has invited the fugitive grand mufti of Jerusalem to take refuge in Italian Libya to escape arrest by British authorities, it was understood today.
The grand mufti, Haj Amin El Husseini, escaped from Jerusalem's ancient mosque of Omar two weeks ago in the disguise of a peasant across the Lebanese frontier into Syria during, a wave of Arab terrorism which he and other leaders of the Arab high committee allegedly inspired.
French authorities in Beirut, Syria, asserting that nationalist disorders against British rule in the Holy Land and French rule in Morocco are related and can be traced to unrest spread by agents of a European “totalitarian power,” yesterday gave the fugitive Palestine Arabs a -week to leave Syria.

Budget Series To Continue
Roosevelt To Confer Wilh Acting Director Bell on Balance Act
HYDE PARK. N. Y.t Oct. 31—U'.P> —President Roosevelt continues his budget-balancing conference series tomorrow' with Acting Budget Director Daniel Bell. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morganthau, Jr., may join in.
The discussion, following a survey Mr. Roosevelt made of the government’s whole 1938-1939 fiscal outlook last Friday night, was called so the president could study Bell's primary estimates of federal expenses and tax income for the 12 months after next July 1.
The president has pledged his administration to hoid spending within revenue next year.
Morgenthau saw Mr. Roosevelt with Undersecretary of the Treasury Roswell Magill last Friday in a conference of financing the administration’s proposed surplus crop control and corn loan programs and possible tax revision.
The president spent a quiet sabbath. giving up his usual attendance at the St James Episcopal church services to be at home with his family. He is senior warden of the little country chapel. This afternoon the regular meeting of the vestry wa^ held at his home.
President Roosevelt pressed a gold telegraph key at 2:30 p.m. to open the new Mount Whitney-Death Valiev highway at a point near Darwin. Calif.
for Japan’s benefit.
Emphasis on the importance of China's territorial integrity, as outlined in the nine-power Washington treaty of Feb. 6. 1922. came as other delegation members talked erf an “armistice” proposal which appeared to be a face-saving device delaying consideration of the fundamental issues of the conflict in the Far East.
The American delegation, led by Norman H. Davis, made it clear that it would conscnt only to a medication plan which finds full acceptance with the Chinese.
The American delegates were pessimistic regarding the chances of arranging any armistice, as dispatches from Tokyo indicated that Japanese war spirit is mounting and that more moderate statesmen soon may be removed from office.
This appeared to indicate that Japan's army is determined not only to conquer all of China north of the Yellow river and smash Chinese resistance around Shanghai, but to go much further and destroy the power of the Nanking government and of the Kuomintang.
Observers said the Brussels conference, should it seek to arrange an Armistice whose collapse might mean a return to the chaos wrhich prevailed in China before the Ku-omingtang revolution.
It appeared that if the 19 powers represented at the conference are able to bring about a cessation of the hostilities, even though only temporary, they will switch the real problem of Far Eastern relations over to another parley called to establish a complete "new deal” in the orient.
Russia Warns Against Italian Influence
MOSCOW. Oct. 31—ilf.P)—Soviet Russia tonight warned the United States and other "Bourgeois powers” against permitting Italy to turn the far eastern peace conference in Brussels Wednesday, into “a new edition of the London non-intervention committee on Spain ”
