Of Ethiopians; Italians Halted Crown Prince Takes Over Duties Of Haile Selassie; Troops Are Massed Badogho 70 Miles From Addis Ababa Emperor Makes Ready For Desperate Last Stand On 9,000 Foot Pass 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. Case Of Spitzer Considered By -Gov. Fitzgerald 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.

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. 65 Submit Entries In Hopwoo (ontest With entries greater and talent more evenly divided than last year, according to Prof. Roy W.

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. vcripts in the several divisions are: ScesCiae okO major fiction 12, minor fiction 22, Sccess Climaxes Work Of major drama 7, minor drama 6, major Laborers After 10-Days poetry 10, minor poetry 13, major es- iay 8, minor essay 7.
