CAROL FACES
NEW CRISIS
BY ROBERT H. BEST

United Press Staff Correspondent
VIENNA, Feb. 1.-TWO women,
q brown-haired Grecian princess
and a red-haired divorce of pie
beian lineage, were dominant in
the minds of Roumanians today.
A long fight for the heart of King
Carol, one time madcap prince OF
the Balkans, has brought the coun-
try to the verge of political crisis.
To the ears Of King Carol and
Nine. Madga Lupescu, in his royal
palace in Bucharest, there rose last
night the jeering cries of students
massed in the streets outside, de-
nanding that red-haired Madga

la. But there have been real tears
in it, real heart-rendings, real dra-
ma, for a matter of IL years-and
today the Roumanian Hohenzollern
dynasty is threatened because of it.
The jeers of the students meant
that they were defying authority
and affronting the king.
Police were called and dispersed
the demonstrants by means Of
charges in which they used smoke
bombs.
The demonstrations were caused
directly by the cancellation of lee
lures which were to have been given
at the university by Prof. Nikola

Helen, and Prof. Nae Jonescu, an

Recently it was reported that ef-

NAVAL CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM
SUBMITTED BY ADMINISTRATION

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. WH -
The administration submitted TO
congress today a s38,000,000 navy
construction program of which $15,-
100000 would be used to build up the
Hawaiian Islands into greaI air
and navy defense fortress.
The program also provided for an
increase of more than $4,000 in
navy personnel.
The navy program dovetailed in
with the army program alredy be-
fore congress for expenditure of
$4,000, 900 chiefly for new air base
facilities in the Pacific and anti
aircraft coast defenses.
Chief item in the navy construc-
ton program was 100000 for a
floating drydock at Pearl Harbor
base in Hawaii. More than $1,000. 900
was provided for building up the
fleet air base at Pearl Harbor.
New radio facilities from Alaska
to Panama and submarine base con-
struction also were provided for.
The program was revealed by
Chairman Carl Vinson of the house
naval affairs committee. No new
ship construction was involved, but
$6,l10,000 was provided for armor,
armament and ammunition.
Vinson said Japan's abrogation OF
the naval treaty was not responsible
for the program.
"It is merely a national defense
measure to build up the naval es-
tablishment," he said.
The personnel bill would increase
officers of the line from 5,499 to
6,53I, and enlisted personnel from

DEMANDS ON
ABYSS|N|ANS

ROME, Feb. IL. = Italy demand
ed of the Abyssinian government
today formal salute of the Italian
! flag in apology for attacks on ma
tive troops by Abyssinian tribesmen.
Demands made on Abyssinia were
announced as members of the SUI
preme defense commission, called
only in emergencies, gathered for
a meeting under Premier Bnito
Mussolini to consider political and
military phases of the crisis. The
! demands Included:
/. Formal salute to the italian
flag.
2. Formal diplomatic apology.
3. Indemnity for the attack.
4. Appointment OF a mixed COM
mission to delimit the Abyssinian-
Italian Somaliland frontier
5. A guarantee that the frontier
would be respected.
AS mobilization proceeded, italian
outposts in Somaliland reported
that 10000 Ethiopians were massed
on the frontier where preparations
for war were being rushed.
Mussolini appointed General Ru-
dolpho Garziani as commander OF
the italian expeditionary force. He
! is SO, and former vice governor of
the Cyrenaica colony in Africa,
General Emilio de Bono, high COM
missioner for the colonies of Erit-
rea and Somaliland, will be in gem
eral charge.
Graziani has had much colonial
experience and succeeded in crush
ing rebellion in Libya-a difficult
operation involving desert warfare.
Until recently he commanded an
army corps in the Udine area on
the Austrian frontier.
| IT was believed Italy would de-
mand from Abyssinia a money in
demnity OF $5,000,000 with part of
which provisions would esmade for
| families of Italian native soldiers
killed by tribesinen. Money might be
used to repair damage to Italian
outposts also, unless specific de-
mand were made for compensation
as regards them.
The indemnity demand was based
on computation of 200 men killed.
with demand for 1000 Abyssinian
thalers (about $500 for each man
killed and $50 thalers (about $75)
for each man wounded.
In token of the manner in which
the government regards the possi-
bilities of long fighting, officers for
the expeditionary force are being
recruited on the basis of two years
service.
Adds ABABA, Abyssinia, Feb.
IL W.P-The government probably
will reject Italy's demand for an
apology and indemnity for recent
border incidents, it was indicated
today.
The government denies aggres-
sion or the advance of Abyssinian
| troops.
No Italian ultimatum has been
received so far, and the govern
ment is aware of italian mobiliZa-
ton only through the press.

Senator Byrd CD, Virginia, has
offered an important constitutional
amendment to eliminate tax-exempt
securities, both federal and state. At
present, states are without power to
tax any security of the federal gov
ernment, and the federal government
cannot tax state, county and muni-
cipal securities. This, because Of the
constitution of 1887. The results have
been that government securities are
largely tax-exempt, and have become
the biggest loop-hole in the income
tax laws. The administration does not
propose a radical share the wealth
program, but rather constructive
share the burden of government and
bear equal taxation program.
