D. S. Pendlebury of , the Egyptian Exploration society. As a sesnTt of his investigations, Pendlebury .claims that most of the rk* Jewels and trappings of state is Kl&g Tut's tomb were really the property «f "King Sirienkb-ka-Ra, whose tomb King Tut raided, appropriating the treasures lor his own funeral palace. ' The theoi7 Is based on the /ecent discovery that (the mummy thought to have bera tl>at of King Akhenaten III, was really the mummy of somebody else When this was discovered, the Egyptian government called in Pendlebury to solve the mystery. He found that the mommy in question was really that of Akhenaten's sonin- law, Smenkh-ka-Ra. "What I discovered," declared Pendlebury, "was that after the heretic Akhenaten died the population of Amara . rose np and cursed his memory and cursed as well the worship of the sun's disk,^ which he had founded. They smashed everything possible in the tomb, defaced all the monuments by hacking out the king's name "Amara was then deserted after a life of only 20 years, and the people returned to the old gods. Thebes be? came once more the Egyptian capital. "Smenkh-ka-Ra, who married the eldest daughter of Akhenaten, may have ruled with him, or he may have succeeded; we are not quite sure. However, he died at Thebes and was buried witl/ magnificent splendor. "When Tut-Ankh-Amen, his brotherin- law, succeeded to the throne he desecrated tl« tomb and acquired all the treasure buried with the last king. All the magnificent funeral furniture was 'done up' and placed in his own tomb In the valley of the kings. "The body was not destroyed, however, and it is Smenkh-ka-Ra who is now in Cairo museum labeled at Akhenateo." * • Honored Sir: This is to request joa to VMS your energies and influence in congress in behalf of the elimination of those boards, bureaus and commissions of the federal government, which have been established in the name of service of the people, but which do not constitute a part Of necessary g#vernwental functions. The reason for this request is oar firm belief that ' the time has come When their cost in the form of taxation far outweigrhs the value of the real services they render. As publishers of four farm newspapers, distributed and read throughout the states of Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas and to some extent in Wisconsin, Indiana, Minnesota, South Da&ota and Oklahoma, we have good reason to be informed regarding the views of many people in the territory named and particularly regarding the Views of the live stock farmers of that area. ... , „ . .

The impression is becoming widespread, furthermore, that th© present congress is doing more just now to prolong and increase business depression and L the unemployment, human want, rfrivation and suffering that go with it^than any other single factor or group of factors. It is creating fear in the minds of business men through failure to enact taxation legislation on a broad base and through the continuing threat of taxation which will in itself strangle already prostrate business. It is creating fear in the minds of the people who stand to lose employment and homes if further injury is done to business. It is creating fear in the minds of everyone because of its failure to fac© the simple fact that governmental expenditures must be reduced to the level of lowered income and because of failure to take constructive steps in that direction. Worse than that, tlie dilly-dallying and political maneuvering of the present congress, in the face of what amounts to a national crisis, are rapidly destroying confidence in our present form of government and preparing a fertile soil for seeds of communism. Continuation of the present trend of affairs bids fair even to destroy the national credit In the eyes of the world and of our people. We full well realize the difficulties of your own position--that there are those with selfish interests at stake who, through various means, seek to bring pressure on you to exempt their particular pet activity or governmental bureau from the economy ax. There is an unending flow of mail into our own offices from governmental job holders and1 their friends and some come in person seeking editorial "exemption" or "support," as the case may be, in the effort to escape the possible pruning knife. But we must all recognize that l>y such means bureaucracies maintain themselves. We must face the fact that, whether we will or not, in times of adversity one part of the population cannot continue to support through taxation another part of the population as large as that now in governmental employ. Regardless of the success in creating the appearance of widespread endorsement for each extraneous governmental activity by those seeking to perpetuate their jobs', please be assured that the masses of the people want reduced governmental expense looking toward reduced taxation. You may be certain of the complete backing of your constituency in taking a firm stand and in making aggressive efforts toward these ends In fact, in our humble opinion, underlying public sentiment is such that [this is the only safe political ground upon which you can stand- Respectfully, Corn Belt Farm^ Dallies. | $500,000 Village | to House Athletes Los Angeles. -- A miniature Y city called Olympic Village, but which might well be called the X Town of Babel, is under con- •f struction west of Los Angeles to X house the hundreds of athletes £ who will compete in the Olym- X pic games here between July 80 y and August 14. y Voices of almost every tongue X will be heard in the village y w^llle the cream of the world's |at hletes are in competition.

The Olympic committee estimates that the village will cost $500,000 before it is complete and ready for the athletes.

I.--Manila, ordinarily a city more peaceful than most cities of its size in the- United States, experienced an increase in crime wave during 1931, according to police records. Last year arrests totaled 24,620, against 20,(520 for 1930, or an increase Of almost 25 per cent. Despite this the condition of peace and order was fairly well maintained, according to police. Increases were noted In cases of robbery, violations of the public motor vehicle law, gambling, prostitution, theft, homicide, ra£e, murder, seditions* and possession of deadly weapons, making the 1931 figure bigger. This increase Is largely ascribed to the unemployment situation and the depression. WANTED--Watches and clocks for repair.
