able to break old nobles, nor make new ones.
 But the proposed changes in the constitution give him very regal power in other fields. The old con- stitution provided that the Regent might be hauled before Parliament and made answerable for his acts. The new amendments provide that he is immune from any such action. Like a King, he can do no wrong. Blame must fall on his chosen niin- isters.
 Another King-like attribute the government proposes to give him Is Q large share in choosing his suc- cessor some day when he resigns or dies. Horthy Is given the power to propose three names, these to be his secret until the time comes for ac- ton. These nominations must come before both houses of Parliament for a vote. The latter have a right also to name a candidate, provided the petition secures the signatures of 200 members of Parliament. The latter votes as between this cati- didate and Horthy's.

Hungary to Give Regent Horthy
 Regal Powers

enormously increased. Under the old constitution, when a bill did not suit him, he could within 50 days send 1t back to Parliament. If both houses passed 1t over his veto, he had to proclaim 1t ao law within 10 days. Under the proposed amend ments, if e bill does not suit him. ne has six months in which to send 1t back to Parliament unsigned. If It Is passed over hi3 veto, he has an- other six months in which once more to send 1t back unsigned. II 1t is then passed once more, the veto power ends and he must promulgate the bill as law within IS days.
 This increased veto power IS meant not so much as a compliment to Horthy, but as @ way to saie- guard the political power of Magyar nobles. Tn Hungary at the present time there is a secret ballot only m the larger cities. Tn the country and small towns, voting is viva voce and the nobles and big landlords can easily intimidate the peasants ana small traders into voting right" Premier Daranyi, favorite with the peasants, proposes to make the se- cret ballot universal. But just in case Q new Parliament thus selected might get too democratic, the Horthy veto power is being in- creased. ,
 The new amendments to the old law also provide a method of ruling the country when and If Horthy passes of the scene and before ms s,,ecessor is chosen. The reins dur ing this interim will be held by a council consisting of the Presidents of the upper and lower houses of Parliament, the Primate of the Ro- man Catholic Church in Hungary the President of the nations high est court, and the general com manding the Hungarian army.

A KING Without aCrOWn
BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Stan Correspondent

London, July 23-Nicholas Horthy, who has been chair-warming for a Hungarian King Gin case there IS once more to be a Hungarian King) ever since March 1, 1920, is about to be given a status which makes him almost a king himself.
 It is just one more chapter in a story full of paradoxes which began after Hungarian Soviet and Social ist republics had been overthrown. Hungary then became Kingdom without a King" with Horthy fill- ing the void as Regent. With the peace treaties, Horthy also became an Admiral of a country, which no longer had a seaboard nor Q navy. A Protestant, he got the highest job in a country predominantly Roman Catholic. A former officer of the Austro- Hungarian empire, 1t re- mained for him to thwart two cf- forts of his former liege lord, ex- Kaiser Karl, to regain at least the Hungarian throne.
 To Be Made Shameless
 Now after 18 long years in the royal palace on the Buda side or Budapest-a palace with a glorious view of the storied Danube-Horthy, as Regent, is about to be given fuller powers, if the Hungarian Parliament passes Q bill prepared by Premier Daranyi with full agreement of some of the more powerful political fac tions in the legislative bodies.
 Horthy will not be crowned with the Holy Crown of St. stephen. By thousand -year-old tradition the only wearer of this crown can be truly royal. Also in the old pre-war Hun gary, the King was the Head of the Church. Horthy can't be that. Only a Roman Catholic regent or King could be that. Neither will he be
