holidays see FLOOD GLOOM DISAPPEARING Rehabilitation Work Is Progressing In Stricken River Towns By Null Adams INS Staff Correspondent Memphis. Tenn.. Dec. 16.—The apiroaih of Christmas finds eastern Arkansas in a state of cheerfulness »bl<h is in marked contrast to the [loom that gripped the communities 8 ,-i spring when the flood waters of be Mississippi and its tributaries BWfpt over a large area of this fertile territory. Rehabilitation work has progressed well, and with the universal expectation that the national government will take control of flood prevention In the future, the people are facing [he coming year with confidence in iplte of the fact that they have been [brown almost a year behind in crop values. For in most cases it was not lossible to produce a cotton yield of iny considerable value. The 36 counties in Arkansas that were affected by the overflow last ipring suffered damage in the aggre[ate of nearly forty millions of dollar*, with the loss of life put at 9S iltbough it is probable some were Irowned that were never accounted 'or. New Levees Ready The completitiou and near comploion of new levees that replace the taps ripped open by tlie lashing waves last April has established a itate of security along the Mississippi, the Arkansas, the White and other tributaries to the Mississippi which tend to hearten the people into greater efforts than ever before. The rebuilding of the levees by the government, with the. disbursement running into the millions has meant a large circulation of cash money in several vicinities where this work has and is being pursued. Large sums disbursed by the Red Cross in the work of recovery has also helped trade in the various centers

Another million dollar loss to Arkansas was the livestock and poultry, including sheep and goats, which were drowned. Arkansas - "come-back' - has been equivalent with that of the Mississippi delta, reports from all sections, especially around Arkansas City and Helena, but it has left the planters facing a new year almost penniless, their homes and farms under heavy mortgage.

The candidates included representatives of the most varied callings, including a professor of theology and to the astonishment of the Government a woman. It is doubtful whether the woman will get the job.

LINDBERGH, GILBERT STAND HIGH IN PARIS By Ralph Helnzen UP Staff Correspondent Pulls.— (UP) — Europe finally has awakened to the realization that the real American is, best personified by Colonel Churles Lindbergh and Seymour Parker Gilbert. The recent note of the Agent General of the Dawes plan to the German minister of finance, calling for the application of brakes on Germany's spending, centered the attention of the old World again on that cold, calculating youth who nt 35, has much to do with the finances of ail Europe. Parker Gilbert Is the man to whom France. Belgium and Germany must voice their thanks for putting their financial houses on solid foundations. .Just ps the Dawes plup brought order out of chaos, Gilbert, as u , strong neutral, applied it without ever arousing a single word of cilticilm. When, three years ugo, Gilbert was brought from Wushnlgton to assume supreme command of Europe's financial salvation, his appointment was a shock. He did not qualify under Europe's standards of measuring a master financier. He did not have the age. and did not even possess the requisite whiskers But in three years. Gilbert has won the appreciation of the Germans from whom he must take the reparations money, and the French and Belgians IOPEN NOSTRILS!

I to whom the hulk of it goes. His euceeas is largely due Io his aloofness. He has taken no one Into his confidence. His recent note wus one of very few in three years. He scoffs at European polities and figures that one can't change arithmetic. Not u word of criticism Ims ever been .uttered openly, but lie must have | thousands of jealous elders ail over Europe watching for an inevitable fatal step which has never come, | Lindbergh and Gilbert have enabled the I'retich at least to change their opinion of Americans.
