Both Louisville and Cincinnati,' iU„ feared lire. Adequate water | supplies and men were lacking. A freight terminal became ignited al Cincinnati, where damage already, has passed $15,000,000 but it was quickly extinguished. Ten coast guard boats manned by 50 officers and men left Cincinnati as the river began to fall I and started downstream toward, Louisville, planning to stop en route to give aid where needed. , The river continued to rise at | Ironton, 0.. where the principal water main broke, threatening a water shortage. Adj. Gen. Emil F. Marx ordered two national guard , ’companies into Ironton when he; received reports of looting. Nurses, bearing serum, hastened to combat an outbreak of scarlet fevei. j City manager Frank Sheehan of, Portsmouth, <>., where 500 homes | were swept away and $6,000,0001 damage wronght by the flood, ask-, ed residents still in the city to leave and remain away until util , ! ity and sanitation services could; ,be restored. The city ottered transportation and gasoline free as an inducement. The fit. Francis river flood rose ' to new levels. Truiuau, Ark., was inundated when a levee brok*. e Red Cross supervised removal ol 3,000 persons. At Marked 1 ree, j J Ark., 3.500 were homeless.

The mayor, a slim, dark man in his middle forties, called for the j police from other cities in a radio broadcast in which he described I In detsjl the terror which prevail-1 ; ed in this city of 200,000 homelese. i He explained 600 regular sol-1 [ dlers were stationed six miles out | i of the city, but could not enter unless the city was declared in a . state of insurrection. He left the microphone to confer with Brig. Gen. William K. Naylor, who commanded the i troops. Their conference became a bitter legalistic wrangling. Then ! the chief of staff of the United States army interrupted them. General Malin Craig in Wash- ! ington ordered the federal troops placed at Miller's disposal, for po- - i lice or other duties. Gen. Naylor.! ' overruled, reportedly turned over ' his troops to Brig. Gen. Daniel I Van Voorhees, commandant of Fort Knox, Ky. Just before dawn, 200 of the 600 I troops began breaking camp to ■ march into the darkened city. The ’ others will come later. It was agreed that Miller will i be supreme head of the city, as ■ provost marshal in an area already placed under martial law by I Gov. Chandler. His deputy provost manshal will be Percy Haley, former adjutant general of the Kentucky national guaad. Martial Law Evansville, Ind., Jan. 27 —(U.R> — I Under strictest martial law, Evansville today awaited with grim good humor the crest of the Ohio river flood expected to sweep up to it tomorrow or Friday. At midnight, the river level stood at 52.4 feet on the government gauge. It was four feet higher than the peak in the great | flood year of 1913, and more than I 17 feet above flood etage. The waters had risen only four tenths of a foot in the last 18 hours. Weatherman John Hagan said the rise during the night was continuing at the rate of .05 inches every 3 hours. He sajd he expected the river would not pass 55 feet and might stop at 54. With every additional inch of rise, however, additional homes were being flooded. At least 15,000 and very probably 25,000 have been driven from their houses alI ready. Relief agencies, under direction jof the national guard, had sent 1,750 out of the city by train and , truck. Evacuation continued today. Thousands fortunate enough to possess the means of leaving by train or private car joined the exodus. Electric lights were shut off in I some sections to conserve the | power supply. The waterworks had shut down and the small availi able water believed held in reser- ■ voirs was carefully rationed. Even that supply was believed contaminated, and the military asked all . residents to boil their drinking I waler. The fire menace was arute. Guardsmen watched over leaking gas mains on a score of downtown streets. Dr. Verne Harvey, head of the state board of health in Indianap- ! olis, was asked for permission to release the Ohio river flood waters into Evansville's drinking mains

The advent of front width, as exemplified in the new Terraplane, of as much as 55 inches, measured from door to door, is making front eeat riding mote popular. Hudson body engineers point out, however, j that the real advantage of front seat width is not realized unless the gearshift lever is eliminated. "A seat width of 18 inches per passenger is more than ample for i the average individual,” points out I Frank Spring, Hudson body engineer. "That is provided,” he states, “the space before the passenger is all clear and he can occupy it as he I pleases with any desired posture. ' ' If there is a gearshift lever between his knees, however, no matter how cleverly it is bent or formed, not only is some of the room taken ’ ■ eway from him, but he is not mentally at ease.

the fact that there is a great deal of self-conscious uneasiness, due to the fact that this passenger feels that he is in the way of the driver. He cannot overcome the impression that should an emergency arise where a quick shift is necessary that he must be prepared to quickly get his knees, or some other part of his anatomy, out of the way. ‘‘This is one of the major advantages the Hudson Company has experienced with the elimination of the gearshift lever on its Hudsons and Terraplanes. The Selective Automatic Shift permits the driver to completely control the car. including all gearshifts, with a flick of the finger and a touch of the toe. All of the front seat space not actually occupied by the driver is available for passengers. The result is that the 55-inch front seat has real three-pas-senger capacity. It provides more than 18 clear inches for each.”
