Ambassador Rosso and Secretary State Stimson Discuss Problem
Washington. Jan. 25. —(UP) The first tentative steps toward revision of the Italian war debt were taken today when Ambassador Augusto Rosso called on Secretary of State Simpson to inspect aspects of debt discussion after March 4.

From a psychological standpoint Italy is in a good position to approach the matter of debt revision. It was the only one of the great debt powers which made its Dec. 15 payment without even asking for revision or delay.

The leading roles for "Uracle Tom's Cabin" have ben chosen, according to Professor Allen Crafton of the drama department, who will play the part of little EVa. Marcia Ritter will be Topey, and Rockle Nuckles will be St. Clare. This is the next presentation of the Dramatic club down at Fresner theater Feb. 7, 8 and 9.

In the old programs it is interesting to note that Cordella Howard, as Eva, received 'top billing', or the prominence usually given to the star of the show.

Settle Boundary Dispute
Special Tribunal Decides Honduras Guatemala Trouble
Washington, Jan. 23—(UPI) -A century old boundary dispute between Honduras and Guatemala was settled today in a finding announced by the special boundary tribunal, pressed over by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes of the United States Supreme Court.

The court was unable to determine the exact historic boundaries between the countries but drew a boundary line based partly on historic possessions and territories. The courts did not regard the findings as a clear-cut victory for either party.

'LAME DUCKS' KILLED
This Change in Fundamental Law Adopted in Record Time After Slow Start
Missouri thereby won from Massachusetts the honor of being the thirty-sixth state to ratify the amendment and make it part of the federal constitution. Of the Missouri house was by unanimous vote of the representatives present.
Jererson City, Mo., Jan. 23. (UP) Missouri today tarnished the "dunk duck" amendment to the federal constitution. The house of representatives, meeting several hours ahead of scheduled time, approved a joint resolution previously passed by the senate ratifying the amendment.
W. H. Meredith, speaker of the house, learned early today that the Massachusetts house was scheduled to meet at 2 p.m. eastern standard time, to ratify the amendment that would have given the honor of putting the amendment across to Massachusetts. Since the Minnesota house was not to meet until later this year, a central committee with all members of house who were in Jefferson City and informed them that the house would convene at 10 a.m.
The resolution was passed at 10:10 a.m.
NEW TERMS CURTAILED
By Raymond Clapper, fs'17
Reeccvelt's Term to End Jan. 20, 1937
—New Congress Jan. 3
Washington, Jan. 23—(UP) —The death sentence for lance duck sessions of congress was sealed today.
The famous Nori bone duck amendment has been ratified by 36 state legislatures now become part of the constitution.
The thirty-sixth state was Missouri,
winner of a race between several state legislatures for the honor of making the amendment effective.
It is designed to end forever such sessions of congress as the one now raging tumultually as a hangover from the elections of 1950, while new memoirs are published at their homes, powerless to act upon their mandates from the voters.
2. Abolish the holdover short sessions which bring back a previous congress for three months work after a new congress has been elected.
3. Change the date of presidential inaugurations from March 4 to Jan. 29.
The new lame duck amendment will:
1. Convene newly elected congresses on Jan. 3 following election instead of 13 months later.
In Firestorm.
These three counts come into force Oct. 15 under the terms of the amendment.
This means that Mr. Roosevelt's term will end Jan. 20, 1987, instead of March of 16 that year. Its term will be 81 months, giving it a loss of $185,495 from his salary.
Terms of senators and congressmen serving in the next congress will be cut from March 4, back to January. 3. This change is in order to support $1,617.60 for each senator and congressman. One congressman used this argument in defending the carrying of his bife on his payroll when his concession payments during his campaign last year.
This arrangement will make the seventh-century congress just coming in unique in history. It will have only one regular session. Mr. Rosewell is expected to call into extra session in the first regular session will begin Jan. 3, 1924.
