Revolt Flares Up In Alcatraz Prison
Warden Says 100 Criminals Have Been Confined To ‘Isolation’ Cells
SAN FRANSICO. Jan. 21. — (HR) —Revolt against the sternest discipline in an Americ. n prison has broken out in Alcatraz federal penitentiary, it was revealed tonight
Warden James Johnson, bluff guardian of the nation’s most desperate criminals, disclosed that 100 of his dangerous charges had been confined to special “isolation” cells and their own tiny cubicles following the revolt.
He said “no violence” had occurred.
The warden decUned to name any of the men involved in the outbreak.
Observers recalled, however, that recently released prisoners had predicted that Al Capone, prohibition era rum czar, was readly to “blow up” under the rigid prison rules, and that “machine gun” George Kelly, Harvey Baily, Albert Bates, John Paul Chase and others dating from the “snatch” era of crime were waiting a chance to challenge the regulations.
“The men struck in the laundry, maintaining they wanted more privileges. What they actually wanted was laxity and looseness in the prison management, ’ Warden Johnston said tonight,
“Its a question of the men or the officials running Alcatraz.”
King Edward VIII Thought Likely To Remain Single, Despite Gossip
LONDON. Jan. 21. — <U.E> —King Edward VIII, as the Prince of
Wales,, was the most eligible bachelor in the world, probably will remain a celibate. He has a known antipathy for marriage and once was credited with remarking, “England had a virgin queen once; why not a virgin king?”
Immediately upon the death of his father. King George V, there was world-wide speculation as to whether the fascinatingly handsome Edward would choose a queenly consort. Edward himself has answered the question a thousand times, not by word but by actions much more eloquent.
He is not averse to feminine society, and his name, at one time
or another, has oeen linked romantically with every marriageable princess in Europe. But he has never shown any particular desire for any of them, and year by year the list of eligible princesses has diminished.
Edward is the iirst bachelor ruler to ascend the rhrone in 176 years. The last was George III, but he married a year later.
Probably every crown in Europe has set its cap fcr the debonire Edward. Blueblooded American mothers, too, have entertained the fantastic hope that the prince might choose their off-spring. But year after year has passed and the king, now 41, seems certain to rule alone— A prerogative granted him by the British constitution.

“It is necessary that all actives attend this luncheon in order that pledges may become fully acquainted with them,” Beckwith advised.

Extra Session Of Legislature Approves Move
Original Proposal Rejected In Straw Vote; Nash Compromise Wins
By Hal Kleinschmidt
All-university elections were advanced six weeks and registration for election by members of the student body was eliminated by the passage of one amendment and two legislative acts last night by the legislative council. Eames Bishop, A.S.U.S.C. president, was the motivating force behind the measures.
The action was taken after nearly two and a half hours of discussion by members of the council. When first introduced for discussion, amendment one. which in its original form provided for separation of the presidential election from all other elections, was severely criticized by various members of the body.
The new amendment as passed provides for the election of all officers of the A.S.UJS.C., schools, and colleges, and classes within the flrst two months of the second semester of the school year, the procedure to be followed aaset forth in legisla-§ tive act two.
This act provided that petitions shall be filed by Wednesday of the fourth week
__of the second se-
mester. Friday of * ^W M the followtni? week t-	■ nominations will
Dick Nash be held, and two . . . compromiser weeks later, the elections will be held.
The amendment and legislative acts are subject to the approval of

Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president of the university.
First objection to the proposed amendment was made by Fred Keenan who stated that the separation of the elections would extend politics too long. Following this Nelson Cullenward, student president of LA.S. stated his objections as being the same as those voiced in the editorial in the Daily Trojan of last Thursday.
