Earlier, Marshal Pietro Badoglio reported his troops are pushing down along Lake Tana, sphere of British influence and headwaters of the Blue Nile. Advance Continues The commander-in-chief of the fascist. forces in East Africa announced in a communique: "The victorious advance of our troops continues in various sectors of the northern front. "Our columns which left Gondar (20 miles north of Lake Tana, in the northwest sector) occupied yesterday, April 12, the peninsula of Gorgora, on Lake Tana, and hoisted the tri-color there. "Our troops were festively welcomed by the population.
"Tana has been linked to Gondar by a motor road, opened simultaneously. with the march of our troops. "Another column, composed of truck squadrons, camel corps and fast armored cars, occupied the Ethiopian customs post facing Gallabat, west of Gondar. "Groups of armed enemies fled before our advance. Gondar Occupied March 31 A motorized column occupied Gondar, the strategic city near the head of Lake Tana, March 31 in the most important international move of the East African war.
The Gondar movement was carried out with greatest secrecy, all mention of the attack by war correspondents being forbidden until Gondar had been reached. The march down to Lake Tana was conducted with similar secrecy. The raising of the tri-color. over the Gorgora peninsula implied Italian occupation of the shores of the lake which is the source of the Blue Nile and much of Egypt's water supply. Two treaties -one of 1906 between Britain, Italy and France; and one of 1925, between Britain and Italy- govern this important territory west of the main northern Ethiopian battleground, These treaties give Italy a zone of influence about Lake Tana, but specify that Italy should not construct dams to obstruct the waters flowing from Laka Tana into Egypt.
KING-SIEVER CASE TO DISTRICT COURT TRIAL Damages Amounting to $2,482.42 Asked for Loss Suffered by Cattle Affliction A $2,482.42 damage suit of R. F. King against Dr. C. M.
Siever was being tried this afternoon in the district court. Mr. King asks the damages for. loss alleged to have been suffered because his purebred Jersey herd contracted Bang's disease or abortion was a tenant on Siever property. Dr.
Siever, he contends, concealed the fact the place had been used by the college for the isolation of cattle afflicted with the disease. Mr. King testified 15 cattle contracted the disease, 13 were condemned by the government, and that, counting colves, he lost 23 cattle. Al jury which tried the case in January failed to agree. Jurors hearing this case are Hiram Bumbaugh, Lon Bryson, Ed Schippert, Julius Erickson, Walter Nanninga, Reuben Anderson, Harold Fergerson, Ted Carlson, C.

NATIONAL FOOT WEEK OBSERVED Purpose Is to Inform Public That Stylish Shoes Also Comfortable and Healthful A special advertising section of today's Mercury calls attention to the fact this is national foot health week in Manhattan. The slogan for the observance is "Fitting Feet to Keep Feet Fit," and the purpose is to inform the public that stylish shoes are also comfortable and healthful. Shoe men say even normal, healthy feet need special care in fitting in the spring. The changing seasons bring out the ailments that afflict those who have foot faults. Manufacturers have styled their feature shoes to the point of general acceptance.
The old bugaboo of homeliness is overcome, and the 1936 fashions have created new interest in shoes that give comfort in action, extending the, demand already established in the sports and spectacular fields to street and general day wear. CLUE GIVEN TO 'SPARK OF LIFE' Chemist Discovers Protein Molecules of Body Are Electric Dynamos In Harvard Research Kansas City, April 13. (AP) Solution of a major puzzle of science, the source of man's internal electricity, by discovery that his billions of giant protein molecules are electric dynamos, was reported to the American Chemical society here today. These protein molecules -the "lean" of the body--had been supposed to be electrically neutral, the same as fats and sugars. Instead they are electro-magnets, carrying complex electrical charges.
When they move they create momentary electric current like the armature of a dynamo. This discovery goes far toward establishing electricity as the essential "spark of life." The electrical charges of proteins were found in 10 years of research at Harvard medical school, and reported today by Edwin J. Cohn, professor of biological chemistry. The charges were with aid of two recent scidiscovered, ence, radio and the "dipole moment" radio waves of 10 to thousands of meters long were used to verify the existence of the charges, both positive and negative, on each protein molecule. The theory of "dipole moment" showed how molecules with such charges would act like electro-magnets, with changing potentials capable of conducting electric currents and with power of producing electricity the molecule moved.
where may picture these molecules," said Dr. Cohn, "as resembling magof a magnet, the greater the nets. The more, powerful the poles distance between them, the stronger the attracting power of the magnet for pieces. of iron in its neighborhood. "Similarly the larger the electric charges on a protein Molecule, and the farther they are apart, the greater its electrical influences on its surroundings.
"Proteins appear to have very large dipole moments. Changes in the orientation of dipolar ions (these protein molecules) give rise to current which persists only during the change of position. Further the displacement of one of these molecules in turn sets up forces which lead to displacement of neighboring molecules again giving rise to a small and momentary current." The discovery explains the source of electric current which flows when muscles are flexed and of the electric impulse by which human nerves transmit their sensory signals. SPEEDER HELD FOR ST.

(AP) -Illinois' hectic campaign--matching Col.
Frank Senator William E. Borah in the first man to man test of republican presidential contenders rumbled to a close today amid predictions of a record primary vote. Leaders of both parties estimated more than 2,500,000 ballots would be marked tomorrow in settling the manifold issues raised by a host of candidates in one of the most stirring battles in the state's history. National attention was riveted on the showdown between Col. Knox and Senator Borah in the presidential preference primary.
Although the vote will not bind convention delegates, it was designed to show the strength of the rival aspirants. Republicans and democrats each elect 50 delegates and 50 alternates two from each of 25 congressional districts. The democrats are entitled to 58 delegates at the national convention and the republicans their national convention. The additional delegates at large will be named May 1 at state conventions, the democrats electing eight at Springfield and the republicans naming seven at Peoria. Denied By Knox The Idahoan returned to Washington after four days of stumping that took him to his birthplace at Fairfield.
He charged "monopolistic interests" were using "up to a million dollars" against him. Col. Knox, who also toured the state, informed. Borah by telegram that Knox Illinois campaign committee spent about $25,000, "all contributed by my friends in small amounts." Knox headquarters announced he had the support of 99 of 102 county chairmen. President Roosevelt was unopposed on the democratic preferment ballot.
But party chieftains, anxious to compare Knox-Borah and Roosevelt totals, urged followers to mass a huge vote for him as an indorsem*nt of the new deal. Intense interest was manifested in the democratic gubernatorial race. Gov. Henry Horner, rejected by the "regular" organization, faced Dr. Herman N.

WINNING ESSAY COPIED New York, April 13 (AP)-The business office of Eddie Cantor, the comedian, announced today that Lloyd Lewis, the 17-year-old Missouri boy who won a peace essay Contest sponsored by Cantor, had admitted his contribution was virtually the same as one written by Dr.
Frank Kingdon, president of the University of Newark. "But," added Cantor's manager, "we want to make it clear that young Lewis was perfectly sincere, and the discovery of the similarity of the two papers must not be taken as a reflection on the boy. "He had been doing research work, and thought the material he used was legitimate. We do not want to hurt young Lewis. Our main concern now is deciding who actually is entitled to the prize." HEYWOOD BROUN CONVICTED Milwaukee, April 13 (AP) -Heywood Broun, New York comunist and president of the American newspaper guild, and six other persons arrested in connection with a newspaper strike demonstration March 21, were convicted in district court today.

WOULD EARMARK A RELIEF QUOTA GROUP ASKS TRANSFER TO PUBLIC WORKS Representatives of Workers Alliance Also Present Demands for Direct And Works ReliefIckes Not Heard Washington, April 13 (AP)-A house seeking earmarking for public works of $700,000,000 the $1,500,000,000 relief money asked by President Roosevelt decided today to name a committee to circulate petitions and present them to the President. The action was taken at a meeting called by Representative Beiter (D-NY).
Last week several members appeared before the house appropriations subcommittee considering the $1,500,000,000 request. Simultaneously, representatives of the Workers Alliance of America were heard by the subcommittee. They presented their $6,000,000,000 program for direct and works relief for the coming fiscal year. Headed by David Lasser, national chairman, of New York. the organization of WPA workers and unemployed demanded that the works progress administration be put under a board "instead of a dictator at the top- one Harry Hopkins." Only Dozen Present Only a dozen members attended the meeting to rally sentiment behind the move to allot $700,000,000 Ickes' public works administration.
Beiter said the officers of many members had informed him they were absent only because of being out of town over Easter. Beiter said the impression before the appropriations committee that WPA provided a much larger percentage of work per dollar expended was "erroneous." He added: "The secretary of interior has not thus far been permitted to appear before the appropriations committee and give his side." Hopkins testified that could use all the $1,500,000,000 and still not have enough to carry the 3,000,000 men on its rolls through the fiscal year. Asked if Ickes would be called as a result of the movement in his half, Chairman Buchanan (D-Tex) has said only that "the committee has no estimate. (budget) for him." Counter-Offensive In the struggle over the new deal relief program raging toward a congressional climax, the administration launched a counter-offensive today against critics of WPA. Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins started nation-wide distribution of a large, illustrated report describing the works program as a "great forward step." It said that when the value of public improvements skill conservation are of considered human "a morale work pro- and gram may well prove to be less expensive than direct relief." Yesterday, the American Liberty league issued a statement, attacking what it termed "boondoggling" and "political favoritism" and calling for the abolition of work relief in favor of such direct relief as is "necessary." NO ONE TO TAKE PLACE OF ALLAN FITZGERALD Night Patrolman Asked by Mayor to Resign for "Indiscretion" in Use of Gun Allan Fitzgerald, who resigned from the police force as night patrolman at the request of Mayor Harold Westgate after a hearing late Saturday, will not be replaced, Police Chief R. Scheleen said today. The mayor said he asked the resignation for Fitzgerald's "indiscretion of where to use his gun." Testimony indicated Fitzgerald chased D. R. Seifkin, an alleged traffic offender, across the Kaw river bridge, attempted to arrest the man and fired shots near the Big garage, striking the garage building and a gasoline pump.
The encounter resulted in blows, the mayor said. Seifkin was not held but he attended the Fitzgerald hearing. Fitzgerald has been on the police force two years. Others on the night force are Night Chief August Krey, Will C. Conwell in Aggieville, L.
S. Smith, clock man, Jack Fay, and Ben Wahlberg.

BECK DIES SUDDENLY IN CAPITAL Former Solicitor General Suffers Heart Attack Shortly After His Easter Luncheon Washington, April 13. (P) The sudden death of James Montgomery Beck, former solicitor general and noted constitutional lawyer, brought expressions of regret in the capital today. The 75-year-old veteran of many battles at the bar, in congress and on the orator's rostrum suffered a heart attack shortly after his Easter luncheon in his home here yesterday and died within a short time. Although Beck had been vehement in his denunciation of new deal policies, administration leaders paid tribute to him today. "His sudden death," said Solicitor General Stanley Reed, who was Beck's opponent, argued some recent new deal cases in the supreme court, "is a great loss to the nation.
"He has been an assiduous student of the law throughout his life and joined with his great legal ability a felicity to others." Speaker Byrns, with whom Mr. Beck served in the house as a republican member from Pennsylvanla, said: "Everyone will be shocked to learn of the death of this distinguished citizen who has been so prominent in public international affairs, He was a lawyer of prominence and a man of great ability."

PRESIDENT ASKS A FULL TAX FUND NO PARING OF MEASURE LIKELY, BYRNS SAYS Speaker Fails to Make Any Mention of What May Be Done in House to Bring Tax Bill Up to Total Sought Washington, April 13. (AP) -Presidential insistence upon a tax bill providing sufficient revenue to meet Mr. Roosevelt's estimates of federal money, requirements was forecast today by Speaker Byrns. Just what form the presidential insistence might take, the speaker did not say. Nor did he make any mention of what might be done in the house to bring the tax bill up to the total sought by Mr.
over each of the first three years and $260,000,000 thereafter. "I think the President is going to insist on having enough revenue," he said. don't know what the bill will fall short. I look on that with some doubt." Reply to Questions His remarks were in reply to questions at his press conference on the possibility that the bill being drafted by the ways and means committee might produce 000 less over the first three 5 years than the administration wants. The committee had rejected the President's suggestion that processing taxes be levied.
The speaker said he did not expect: the bill to come before the house earlier than a week from Wednesday, and that it should take no than a week to pass. He predicted it would go through "precisely" as reported out by the ways and means committee. He added that there had been no intimation of another White House tax conference with congressional leaders and that he did not plan to see the President unless asked to do so. Will Await. Report With reference to possibilities that the bill will fall short on revenue, Rep.
Bankhead, (D-Ala.) the majority leader, remarked that he did not believe "We should draw any conclusions until we see he report of the committee. (The program on which the committee's tax drafters now are at work contemplated raising 000 the first year. (That breaks down into 000 from a revision of the corporation tax structure, $100,000,000 from a "windfall" tax to recapture a portion of unpaid, or refunded, AAA processing taxes, $83,000,000 from temporary retention of capital stock and excess profits taxes, and 000,000 from a levy on dividends to foreign stockholders.) These yield estimates may be vised somewhat by the language in which the bill finally is drafted. Weather Makes New York Easter Parade A Fizzle New York, April 13 -Another Easter parade was written down today in New York as a fashion fizzle because of inclement weather. Raw wind and rain brought out some of the oldest clothes seen in mid- town Manhattan for many an Easter, and wrought havoc with the few top hats that appeared.
A young woman who rode down Park evenue to church on a bicycle and a society matron whose bonnet was trimmed with a long chicken feather were bright spots on a dreary scene made up mainly of last year's winter coats with some flowers attached. Other bright spots were the many purple hats, the yellow kid gloves worn by E. Victor Loew with formal morning attire, and the blue noses Also of the shivering promenaders. broadcast- an Easter parade er with his top-hat wired for sound (the antenna stuck through) and several paraders garbed for some reason as Indians. Style-hungry men and women with umbrellas stood for hours near St.
