The presence in Paris of a high official of the Deutscbe bank, act- ing as an unofficial observer, has added crcdenu to the reports that the moves by the Bdch are as much economic as political. The Deutaohe bank official is said to be Emil George von Stausa, tihlrd vice-pree- ldcnt of “the Roichstagsnd, and a director of the bank. It is reported further that he was impressed by France's firm stand against Ger- many's move to refortify the Rhine. It is not known whether he repre- sents Hitler or Dr. liialmar Schacht,

Committee To Survey Peace Plans In It- alo-Ethiopian Con- fiict Today.

(By Joseph E- Sharkey Annotated Praee Staff Writer)

LONDON, March ill-m. P.)- The Italo-Eihiopian war, tempor- arily neglected in the crisis caus- ed by Germany's -‘ nunciatiorl oi the Ilocarnc Treaty, will be con- sidered tomorrow by the commit- toe of l3 of the League of Nations.

Plans call for the appointment oi a sub-committee to determine peace terms. Italy aocepwd a league bid for peace negotiations with reservations and Ethiopia agreed to the same appeal without reservations.

Premier ldlussolini has not dis- closed his forms but officials be- lieve they will be heavy. Emperor Kalle Selassie warned in an of- ficial communication yesterday that he would not enter direct negotiations with Rome and that only a. pact made through the League, "within the spirit of the Covenant," would be acceptable.

ADDIS ABABA. March 22-—Ni.ue- teen bombing planes dropped more than 1,000 gas, incendiary and ex- plosive bombs on Jijiga today, kill- ing scores of civilians, the govern- ment announced here.

Roaring northward from General Rodolfo Grazianfs southern base at Nezhelli, the Italian squadron hovered for more than an hour over the key Ethiopian city, situated about 25 miles east of Herar, while it dropped its deadly cargo.

An Ethiopian Rod Cross ambu- lance and several big shops owned by foreigners were reported de- sfroyed in the raid, as well as hundreds of native homes and trad- ing places.

Ethiopian authorities declared the raid apparently had been organized in the hope of destroying the head- quarters of Ras Ilusibu, Ethiopia's east central war commander. They added the Italian generals evident- ly had been misinformed because Res N-ssibu had removed his head- quarters from Jijiga some time ago.

Queen Mary To Be Given Trial Run To- morrow.

GLASGOW. Scotland, March 22 More than 500.000 people are ex- pected to throng the banks of the Clyde River Tuesday when the pride of British shipbuilding, the 73,000 ton superliner, Queen Mary. is taken out to the open sea for her first trial run.

Not only will a good share of the population of Glasgow be on hand to watch the departure, but spec- ial trains will bring thousands of spectators from London, Liverpool, Manchester and other large cities.

Excursion boats will take the spectators to vantage poinis Oil tho banks of the Clyde, while cheap steamship cruises have been arranged to make possible a close- 11p view of the ocean giant when she is free of the channel and in open water.

Most interesting to the public will be the delicate task of get- ting the enormous shlp through crooks and bends of the channel, with the keel only a few feet from the river bottom. The slightest miscalculation may lead to trouble.

By using wax models of the liner and the eight tugs that will supply motive power, careful re- hearsals of the departure program have been held in test tanks. Every possible effect of high winds and current on the giant liner during the voyage to open seas has been tested in advance.
