ADDIS ABABA, April 22.-(P) -
A serious insurrection among the
northern Ethiopian armies was re-
ported unofficially in Addis Ababa
today as the youthful Crown Prince
Asfa Wosan returned to the ram-
shackle old palace to resume his place
as his father's deputy in the capital.
Refugees from the North brought
varied reports of disaffection, but it
was uncertain whether this is handi-
capping Emperor Haile Selassie, who
is organizing a last stand in defense
of Addis Ababa in the towering Shoan
Mountains south of Dessye.
Some northern Galla and Tigrean
tribes in the territory which the Em-
peror was forced to evacuate are be-
lieved involved.
(Rome reports said Italy's north-
ern army, driving on Addis Ababa,
was only 70 miles from the capital).
Ethiopian leaders said they be-
lieved the Italians are now concen-
trating on an attempt to crush Ras
Nasibu, leakder of a southeastern
army, before proceeding further
against the capital.
Nasibu was called the "Savior of
Ogaden" after halting an Italian ad-
vance in November and thus far has
been the most successful Ethiopian
commander.
Haile Selassie was said to have re-
organized his army on a 9,000 foot
pass and to have held up an Italian
advance at Warra Hailu, 70 miles
south of Dessye.
Mussolini Adds
Io Wa Funds
As Ar'my Gains
(By the Associated Press)
Premier Mussolini poured another
$115,000,000 into his war fund today
as Italian hopes for victory in East
Africa were raised by fresh reports
of Fascist advances.
The Northern Italian army, re-
liable reports declared, has advanced
to the holy city of Debra Birhan, less
than 70 miles from Addis Ababa.
France, meanwhile, checked up its
frontier defenses and sought to puzzle
ou Adolf Hitler's next move since
lany's reoccupation of the
Rjjneland. -df
e French decided to respond £ a-
vorably to Turkey's request to re-
fortify the Dardanelles despite re-
ports, from informed sources that Il
Duce has taken an opposite position.

Italy Protests New
Strailt Rearmtament
ROME, April 22. - (/P) -Turkey's
move to rearm the Dardanelles has
aroused the opposition of Italy, per-
haps the most interested of all coun-
tries in keeping the straits free and
open, informed sources disclosed to-,
night.
Italy, however, may eventually give
her consent in principle, being forced
to by similar consents granted by
other big powers, but her fundamen-
tal opposition will, nevertheless, con-
tinue.
So far as Italy is concerned, the
rearming of the narrow link between
the Aegean and Black Seas is a vital
element in the complex situation in-
volving the major states in Europe.
Italy's opposition is on the diplo-
matic basis that the Treaty of Laus-
anne providing for the disarmament
of the Straits was freely negotiated
and signed by Turkey in 1923, and
therefore cannot be unilaterally ab-
rogated.

Democratic Leaders Push
Other Legislation Aside
To Speed Adjournment.
WASHINGTON, April 22.- (A) -
Lining up the new tax bill tonight
for what may prove the session's
stormiest House debate, backers of
the measure conceded it would fall
short of President Roosevelt's revenue
goal and hinted at another tax meas-
ure next year,
The bill, estimated to produce
$803,000,000 in a single year, was
poised to start through a gauntlet
of sixteen hours debate with the open-
ing of tomorrow's House session.
The Democratic majority of the
Ways and Means Committee, formally
asking the House to approve the mea-
sure, said it would fail by $334,-
000,000 to meet the revenue require-
ments for three years laid down by
Mr. Roosevelt in his March 3 tax mes-
sage.

With entries greater and talent

according to Prof. Roy W. Cowden,

Professor Cowden reported 65 com-
petitors who submitted 85 volumes

Further Action Postponed
Thqir report asserted, however, that
the bill "will take care of the Pres-
ident's request until the next session
of Congress, which canhthen act more
intelligently in the light of the con-
ditions then existing."
In contrast to that intimation of
a tax bill after the elections when
new levies will be a less weighty po-
litical problem, some Democrats on
the Senate Finance Committee fore-
cast that the present bill might be
broadened to bring it into line with
the presidential revenue suggestions.
1The Senate committee is scheduled
to meet privately tomorrow to scrut-
inize the bill carefully with the help
of congressional and Treasury tax
adisers.
May Consider Processing Taxes
Some members were talking of
tapping additional sources of tempo-
rary revenue to produce $100,000,000
to $150,000,000 annually for three
years. That they may consider new
processing taxes has been admitted
for some time. Although these were
suggested by the President, the House
Ways and Means Committee ignored
them.
House Democratic leaders, pressing
for speed on legislation holding the
key to congressional adjournment,
agreed to sidetrack all other con-
troversial questions until the House
passes the tax, relief and naval ap-
propriation bills.

Arrest Two Youths
For Theft Of Auto
Ann Arbor police yesterday ar-
rested Rodney Lemble, 18 years old,
and George Gillen, 17 years old, for
the theft of an automobile belonging
to Edmund Wright, 411 E. Jefferson,
which the two boys are alleged to
have driven away and stripped April
16. The car was recovered the same
night it was stolen, and a radio, tail
light and floor mat which they re-
moved were recovered from them by
the police yesterday.
Arraigned before Judge Jay H.
Payne on a charge of "unlawfully
driving away an automobile," the two
boys demanded an examination,
which was set for April 29, and fur-
nished bonds of $1,000 each.
