The revised bill will be submitted to the whole committee immediately after the holidays. Amendments Proposed, | Various amendments were proposed by prominent business men appearing | at the subcommittee hearings.

Othe: ommendations urged | that the corporation’s debentures be | made eligible for Federal Reserve bank rediscount, and that the bill provide for Interstate ' Commerce Commission cer- tification for loans to railroads. Another favorable sign for one of the groups that would be aided by the re- construction corporation—the railroads ——came in an_announcement by the Association of Railway Executives that a plan for helping ncedy roads would be put into effect as soon as possible. Another Middle Western banker, Wi . board chairman of the Peoples’ Wayne County Bank of De- troit, joined in urging the corporation be permitted to loan to John C.

By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, December 23.—The London Gazette today printed an announcement saying Muhammadu, former Sultan of Sokoto, Nigeria, has been deprived of the title of honorary companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, conferred on him in 1929. The announcement, as printed in the Gazette, read: “The King has been pleased to direct that the appointment of Muhammadu, | formerly Sultan of Sokoto, Nigeria, to | be honorary companion of the Order of | St. Michael and St. George, dated March 1, 1929, shall be cancelled and | annulled and his name erased from the register of the order.” Behind the announcement lies the | story of the ex-Sultan’s six-year rule over Sokoto, which, latterly, caused much dissatisfaction. It was officially declared he used his authority to pro- cure two grave miscarriages of justice. Furthermore, he is said to have shocked Nigerian Moslems by dealings with sorcerers. Under stress of public opinion, the Sultan abdicated and fled into French territory last February. But early in November he re-entered Nigeria, where he now is detained by British authorities at Kaduna. Christmas Play to Be Given.
