.Four thousand soldiers from forts
strung along the Mexican , border
moved southward into tho ragged fUg
Pond country today on maneuvers
designed to tost the relative efficien-
cy of cavalry and mechanized fight-
ing units.
Troop after troop of cavalry, long
regarded as Indispensable to defense
of the mountainous, almost trackless
lilo Grande frontier rode out, to pit
their mobility against armored ear
i sifuadrohs and other modernized, high
speed outfits.
Arrival of tho 5th and 12th eavalry
regiments from Fort Clark;1 ltrnck-
ettvllle and Fort 11 row n boosted the
mobilization at Fort V. A. ltussell
here to an estimated 4000 men and
assured the greatest mass of soldiers
to take the field in Texas army ma-
neuvers since 1927.
Fort KuskoII, once nlmndoned by
congressional order as an economy
move, but later garrlsoner With nrtllv

ed force in" many, years. /

Family Farming
HTO EPARK, X. Y.. April 27.
CAP)—president Roosevelt turned
his attention today to crops, but- It
was purely a family problem.
Remaining over * at the family
homestead, the president took ad-
vantage of his visit to survey erop
plans after his address Saturday
night before the National Democratic
club In New York city. ^
It appears that John, finishing his
sophomore year at Harvard, will do
the family tilling this summer. He
Went over the grounds yesterday

The president plans to leave for
Washington late tonight and arrive
there early tomorrow.
Silently observing reactions to his
New York address advocating "great-
er purchasing power and :ra r«asob-
ably stable ptlce level," Mr. Roose.
Ve)t had no official engagements to-
day.
He supplemented his talks about
lmprobed prices, adding he was not
referring specifically to stock prices,
and observed tfiej are "beyond panic
prices."

The following written statement
Was made today by R. It Stover,
who for the past. 21 years had serv-
ed as superintendent of the Orange
city sehools, the statement having to
do with his recent severance from
the cTty sehools:
"At the, regular meeting of the
Foard of Trustees of the Orange ln-
jleptyiderH School IJstrlet held April
J-5, following the reorganization Of
the board for the new school year,
the election of the Superlntemlent
came on for consideration There-
upon, 1 withdrew from the room, as
is. the custom when this Item of busi-
ness is under consideration. After
the lapse of perhaps ji half hour,
during which time I remained in the
hall out fit hearing, the board ad-
journed, and ull member* Immedi-
ately departed, except Messrs. T.
A, Howell and Hunter Bent.v. presi-
dent and vice-president, respective-
ly, i then returned to tho school
board office and was told by those
gentlemen that, by a vote of four to
three, the board had refused to renew
the contract with me. This was on
the proposal to re-elect pe foij u two-
year term. A secorm Xote was
taken, this time on the /propositi to
give me n contract IVr one year,
Which was defeated hy/a yoto of five'
to two,

"I have had no specific Informa-
tion given as to tho reason for my
failure to lie re-elected. I am In-
formed that the vote on the question
Was by secret ballot. This Is In
marked contrast to pfut practice. So
far as I can recall, no secret ballot
has ever been taken on any subject
within twenty years by the Orange
Moaril of Trustees. When Frank
Skeeler was refused re-election sev-

The St. Quentln, boWover, was be-

TO CURB CREDIT
FOR SPECULATTN
WAflHTNOTON, ^April 27. <AP)—
The federal reserve lionrd today pur-
sued a policy designed to curb the
flow of credit for speculation, While
permitting free movement of funds
for business enterprises.
In a stnteaieht explaining Its re-
cent action in tightening stock mar-
gin requirements, the board- noted
that stock prices had advanced per-
sistently along with an increase In
trading nnd speculative borrowing.
"Adoption -'of these restrictions at
this time,'* the statement sold, "has
the advnntgc of providing for conrol
of tho use of credit- for speculation,
in securities without limiting the
supply or raising the cost of credit
available for commercial. Industrial
or agricultural borrowing."
Effective April 1, a GS per cent
minimum mor*la was required., for
stocks purchased through brokers.
Tlui same ruling becomes effective
May l for stocks purchased through
bunks. The announced purpose of
the rule was to make uniform the
credit value« of securities as handled
by bank and brokers.
The federal reserve board, prior
to the tightening of credit reins, had
been under pressure from some quar-
ters which sought reduction In the
supply ot loadable bank funds as a
precaution against a possible spoon-
jalt.ve -boom.
he board emphasized In announc-
ing tho new margin ■' requirements,
IuiwevnrXthat they were not Issued
txjcausc nf n fear that an Inflation-
ary boom was linmlnent.
At that time federal reserve mem-
ber banks' reserves Ayore more than
$.'1.000,000,000 In cxccstK of legal re-
quirements. This sum wts regard-
ed by some bankers as possible ma
teriai for a credit boom.

With the Italian Army at Oessye,
Ethiopia, APril 20 (By field wlrelewi-
to Asmara. Erltreat, April 27)—A
motorised column of 15,000 Italian
troops, spijeadhead of the giant fas-
ctst .'thrusts Into Ethiopia, rolled
south from Tiessyo today, driving
down to Imperial highway to Addis
Ababa.
The great motor covalcade roared
out of the former field headquarters ■
of Emperor Hallo Belusslo at dawn
Hunday, moving townnd1 the capital
Of the king of kings and a climax
the final act of this east African
war drama. v ,'
More than lAoO-huge tracks form-
ed the thundering line. Most of
them cnrrled I* men eaeh, compris-
ing nn entire whlto army column.
The others were auxiliary IrttCM, "to
provide for possible breakdown, and
bearers of great quantities of m*p-
Pllea. - % ,
Hours after their departure,- they
were approaching the positions of
the native Erltrean Askarl who had
already advanced far down tho road
to Addis Ababa by foot. |
The weather favored the offensive.
The sun rose over the hills about
llessye as tho Impressive column got
uftder way. Later, the,skies remain-
ed clear! with sunshine pouring
down on tho tropical-flowered roll-
ing landscape.
The entire population of this town,
only recently lost to Emperor Halla
Helassle, Crown Prince Afsa Wosan
and the Ethiopian' imperial army,
turned out to cheer the Italian for-
ces at tho start of .their "big push"
to the swath.
Crowds of natives, who made their
acts of submission at the new head-
quarters of Marshal Pletro Badogllo.
t?atcbod the Italian departure, many
of them expressing satisfaction at
the general feeling that the war's
end wag approaching.
The main advancing column was
entirely self-supporting. - '
