Wonderful Golden Crown
Found on King Tut's Head

Cairo.-Discovery that the wonder
full golden crown of Egypt is still on
the head Of Tut-Ankh-Amen was the
thrilling elimination Of the painstak-
ing unwrapping of his mummy by Doc
tor Carter and the scientists who are
assisting him.
Although the head has not been
fully unwrapped, it is indicated that
on it is the double crown Of upper
and lower Egypt, which never before
has been seen in the history of
Egyptology. The shape of the crown,
however, is familiar to Psychologists.
The feet were first barred and they
are so small that the theory is that
King Tut died when he was about
fifteen.
So far nothing has been disclosed
to support the theory that the king
was murdered.

u. S. GIVES LIBERAL
TERMS TO ITALIANS
Obligation Fixed at So, 4OZ,-
600, OOO-Due in Sixty
tUo Years.

Washington.-The Italian govern
ment, third largest of Americas war
debtors, funded its obligations to the
United States on the most liberal
terms yet accorded to European ma
tion
Italy borrowed S1,64s,0OO0oo in
American money. That obligation,
with accrued interest to date, aggre-
gates approximately $2,13S, 100000.
Italy will pay S2,4O7, 100000 to the
United States over a period of 60
years, in full discharge of this OBJ
legation. The settlement, according
to members of the American debt COM
mission, is $215,OOO,OOO more than
Count Volpi and his associates Of the
italian debt commission hoped to pay,
but the Italian plenipotentiaries were
radiantly happy, well satisfied with
the terms and ELUSIVE in their praise
of the treatment accorded them by
the United States.
Count Volpi declared in a formal
statement that the settlement is a
long step toward the restoration of
economic peace in Europe"
The settlement agreed upon was
that proposed by the American debt
commission and represented the unani-
nous view of the commission after
eleven days Of negotiation with the
Italians and a thorough examination
of Italy's capacity to pay.
Italy will pay $759,O0O,OOO in inter-
est in addition to the actual borrow
ings. The principal comes back in
full. Italy's depleted capacity to pay
is given recognition in the low inter-
est rates granted throughout the
amortization period. For the first five
years she pays no interest and will
pay annually $5,O00,OOO. The interest
will be one-eighth Of 1 per cent for
the first five years
Count Volpi will make preliminary
arrangements in New York for $780,
100000 loan to Italy before sailing for
home, it is said.

RADIO CONFERENCE
DRAFTS NEW LAW
Reduction in Number of Sta
tions Demand at Farley.

Washington. - Radio broadcasting
stations will be reduced in number as
present stations go out of existence
voluntarily and no new stations will
be licensed except when Secretary
Hoover is convinced that they will not
add to the congestion of the air. This
was the principle adopted by the
Fourth National radio conference.
A law is being drawn up by the con-
ference giving the secretary of COM
merce legal control, and the measure
will be presented at the coming ses-
sion Of congress.
Some provisions proposed by the
radio men follow:
(a) The rights of free speech shall
not be violated.
(b) Those engaged in radio com
munication shall not be required to
devote their property to public use,
as their properties are not public
utilities; but a license or permit to
engage in radio communication shall
be issued only to those who, in the
opinion of the secretary of commerce,
will render a benefit to the public, are
necessary in the public interest, or are
contributing to the development of
radio.
(c) In time of war or other emer-
gency the President shall have the
power to discontinue or commander
existing stations, with just compensa-
tion
(d) No monopoly in radio communi-
cation shall be permitted.
(e) Legislation shall provide due
court appeal from the decisions of the
secretary of commerce.
(f) Except in the case of govern
ment stations, the secretary shall be
empowered t. classify all stations, fix
call letters, wave lengths, power, loca-
ton, time of operation, character of
emission and QUESTION of license.
(g) Call letters shall be recognized
as representing property right dur
ing the life of the license
