 The attacks in final debate today as well as In previous discussion centered on the reduced interest pro- vided in the British settlement This is three per cent for the first 10 years and three and one-half per cent thereafter. Opponents rallied finally on the amendment Of Senator Hitchcock. democrat. Nebraska. pro- posing that Great Britain should pay the same rate paid by the United States on it's securities, averaged each year.
 Amendment Rejected

 Fourteen democrats and seven re- publicans supported the Hitchcock amendment, The democrats were Senators Ashurst, Broussard, Dial, Gerry, Harrison, Heflin, Hitchcock, Stanley, Trammell Walsh 6Massa- chusetts), and Walsh (Montana). The republicans were Borah, Brook hart, Couzens. France. Johnson, La toilette and Norris. Eighteen demo- crats joined the majority of republi- cans in opposing Hitchcock.

The advocates of the bill denied that cancellation was in- volved, declaring the opposition argu- ment "preposterous" and said the British agreement was fair and the best that could be obtained.

ONLY FEW, TONES ARE
 LEFT UNDISCOVERED

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.=tBy Asso- ciated Press. )-The tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhmen, opened by explorers today in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor. is by far the richest treasure trove ever uncovered in Necropo- lis of ancient Thebes, and in all like lihood is the richest that ever will be discovered, Ambrose Lansing, acting curator of the Egyptian section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art declared today.
 Tombs of practically all of the early rulers of Egypt have been ac- counted for, most of them thoroughly footed by native grave robbers, said MT Lansing, who has spent much time himself with Metropolitan ex- petitions delving in the old burial places.
 There are only two or three royal tombs left to look for" heusaid, and they are those of lesser kings; for in stance. those of Semenkhare, who reigned for q few months before Tut ankhamen and Ay, who reigned for an equally short time after Tutenk- hamens death.
 Tombs Robbed
 All the others have been opened, few by archaeologists, but the most of them by vandals, who left nothing of importance behind them."
 Royal furniture, garments. chariots ornaments and works of art of rare beauty and exduisite workmanship already have been found in unprece- dented quantities in the outer cham Der of the tomb. The itinerary equip ment much of it heavily encrusted with gold and emi-precious stones, is valued at millions of dollars.
 But treasures of greater value. ir the eyes of the Egyptologists-bits of historical data of the era antedating Christ by 131s centuries-are hoped for when the hieroglyphic inscriptions within the tomb itself have been translated.
 One of the most fascinating theories the records in the tomb may confirm or explode is advanced by Arthur Wiegall. former inspector general of antiquities to the Egyptian govern ment, and one of the best known Egyptnologists, that Tutank nkhamen was the Pharaoh who oppressed the children of Israel and whose army, pursuing the Israelites at the time of the exodus, is declared in biblical accounts to have been swallowed up in the Red sea.

SPLENDOR WITHIN
 TOMB SURPRISES FAMOUS EXPERTS
Immense GiIded Canopy Dis Covered-Body of Ruler Guarded by Huge Statue
 of Cat

LUXOR, Egypt, Feb. 16.-(By Associated Press. l-Opening of the mortuary chamber of the tomb of King Tutankhamen today showed the sarcophagus of the Pharaoh to be still in the same position in which it was placed by his mourners more than 5000 years ago.
 When the exploring scientists, after removing the delicate seals, broke their way through the ma- sorry of the inner chamber door, they were confronted with splen- dors which, upon the first cursory examination, appear to surpass even those of the ante-chamber which have held the interest of the entire world.
 The exploring party, headed by Howard Carter, exclaimed with amazement at finding the center chamber, which is about 14 feet square, occupied by an immense gilded canopy, richly inscribed.
 Magnificent Statue
 The canopy was closed. but there was door and the opening of this revealed inside what is undoubtedly Tutankhaens coffin. For the pres ent, however, this was left undis- turbed. canopy jar. which probably contains the heart and other internal organs of the King, was found inside the canopy.
 One feature of the discovery in the inner chamber was magnificent statue of cat, richly painted. which has stood sentry over the dead Pha- roah through the centuries hes has lain there. The chamber is filled with splendid furniture. in orderly array. It also holds several superb gold chariots, an exquisite ivory and ebony box and many beautiful alabas- ter vases.
 Marvellous. I congratulate you, eXclaimed Professor Breasted to the lIarlsof Carnaryon, when the earl and Mir. Carter and the other members of their party emerged from the tomb.
