Tfte measure thtn wiil be sent ic | the white hor.se where friends of President Roosevelt have indicated it will be vetoed. Leaders of both houses, backing the compromise, said tonight they had sufficient votes to override a veto.
There was no demonstration as the senate voted to take out of politics a question which has harassed congress for 11 years and plagued every president since Warren G. Harding. Veterans’ leaders sat in the huge crowd which jammed all galleries as the final vote was recorded.
Would Increase Debt
The action came in the face of a warning by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr., before the senate finance committee that payment of the bonus along with other treasury commitments would shoot the public debt to $35,000,-000,000 in the next fiscal year. The compromise measure calls for the issuance of $1,800,000,000 in bonds cashable immediately and a cash outlay of more than $87,000,000.
The bill carries no appropriation. Chairman Pat Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, cf the finance committee said before passage that no ad-j ditiona! taxes would be needed to finance the bonus payment. The compromise bill will be substituted for the house bill which made no provision for raising the money to 1 meet the veterans debt.
Congressional leaders and heads of the veterans’ organizations are united behind the senate measure.

Propaganda Is Responsible
Government Hears Selassie Son-in-Law Defeated On Southern Front
ADDIS ABABA, Jan. 20.—OLE)— The revolt in Gojjam province against Emperor Haile Selassie has been crushed and “most of the rebels were killed,” it was announced officially today.
The emperor’s troops engaged the rebel forces in a battle three miles from Debra Markos, capital of Gojjam. Private reports said casualties mounted to several hundred on both sides.
The government alleges that the revolt was fomented .7 Italian propaganda against the emperor.
Uprising Brewing
The uprising, which threatened to spread to other sections cf the Negus’ kingdom, apparently had b^en brewing for many months. It reached its peak last week.
Gojjam is directly south of Lake Tana, headwater of the blue Nile in the British sphere of influence.
Meanwhile, the government again turned its attention to the southern front, where Ras Desta Demtu, Emperor Haile Selassie’s son-in-law, reportedly has suffered a crushing defeat.
Reserves Leave
Reliable sources said Dejazmatch Makonnen, governor of Wallamo province, has departed for the Dolo sector, center of southern front activities, with reinforcements estimated variously between 30,000 and 60 000 men.
A two-hour rain and hail storm swept central Ethiopia for two hours today and presumably hit other sections also, bogging down roads and further tying up transportation which just had recovered from the previous rains.
Old residents believe the “small rains’ definitely have begun and probably will continue intermittently for six weeks.

Former Prince of Wales Ascends to Throne of English Dominions
LONDON, Jan. 20 — (HE) — With the last heartbeat of George V. a 40-year-old bachelor today became “Edward VIII, King of England, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the sea, defender of the faith, and emperor of India.’
The Prince of Wales stepped into the role that destiny and birth had designed for him.
He is the most popular man among the 500,000,000 persons who swearallegiance to the British flag. In the words of another great Briton, the late Rudyard Kipling, Edward of Wales “could walk with kings nor lose the common touch,” and it is that attribute that endears him to his subjects.
War Changes Prince Before the World War he was a high spirited boy who made the world his playground, moving through Europe and the Americas as a pleasure-loving youth without a care in the world. The sight of slaughter and min on the western front made a man out of Edward of Wales, and after the war he began to live up to the motto on his crest, “Ich Dien”—I serve.
He was bom at White Lodge, Richmond, in the reign of that stem little lady, Queen Victoria. He was christened with seven names, his tiny body covered with Queen Victoria's bridal veil, with water brought from the river in Palestine.
Makes Victoria Smile For Edward there was no relief from rigorous duties and studies; he lived in the Victorian age when the motto was “spare the rod and spoil the child.” Queen Victoria banished him from the dinner table one night when he still was a child for speaking out of turn. The future king of England crawled under the table and reappeared five minutes later minus all his clothing. Even the stem queen smiled Early in Edward's boyhood, Victoria died and an earlier Edward— Edward VII—ascended the throne. Those were busy years for the youngster. His tutors took up much of his time, and his mother and father insisted he should pay strict

Grimy Cockney First To Bring News
LONDON, Tuesday, Jan. 21 — (UP)—“He’s dead!”
That’s what a grimy cockney boy about 10 years old shouted as he burst through a crowd of 8,000 waiting through a cold, wet midnight at the gates of Buckingham palace, for news of their king.
It was from this lad—end not a uniformed attendant in stifT uniform and gilt—that the throng learned that George V had passed on.
Around the boy’s neck was a long scarf and he tripped on the wet pavement as he ran breathlessly here and there.
People nearby dov.bted the momentous news that this child was bringing them, but in answer to all doubts the boy in a voice choked with fatigue and emotion, said:
“It’s the truth, guv'nor.”

Itabashi's talents were “discovered” by Dr. William G.Campbell, assistant professor in S. C.’s department of education, in the summer of 1934 when the former was canvassing this country for delegates to the Japanese-sponsored Ameri-cao-Japan student conference, held that year in Tokio.
Originally enrolled in the School of Intematnional Relations. Itabashi dropped out to enter political science because languages troubled him. He had yet to leam English at the time.
He compared student life in Japan to that here succinctly by explaining that only those who’s parents were able to pay the expense went to college. “A student cannot work his way through the university in Japan,” he said.
Japanese students, Itabashi pointed out. are largely socialists, “but thety do not have strength to make a concerted movement in that direction.”
The Communist party has been practically defunct since its loss of popularity following the Manchurian incident, he declared.

District Attorney Buron Fitts last night won the first legal skirmish over efforts of the state to link the famous Hollywood “love mart” case with his indictment on perjury charges.
Judge Pat Parker ruled Special Prosecutor Clyde C. Shoemaker could not introduce references to the “love mart” charge, brought against John P. Mills, wealthy realtor, and subsequently dropped, in Shoemaker’s original statement to the jury trying Fitts.
Shoemaker’s effort to bring up the “love mart” case drew a sharp protest .'rom Defense Attorney Jerry Giesler. Shoemaker immediately replied he would “plunge right into the middle of that case” tomorrow when first testimony is offered.
He indicated the state will seek to show a connection between the district attorney’s investigation of the case six years ago, and an Orange county ranch deal involving Lucien Wheeler, special investigator for Mills.
