13 DIE IN FLOODS OF SOUTH; SCANT RELIEFINDICATED Thousands Homeless and Property Loss in Millions of Dollars. Btl United Press NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 29. Little relief was in sight today from the floods that have claimed thirteen lives, driven thousands from their homes and destroyed property valued at millions in the South. While municipal ofllclals, the Red Cross and American Legion volunteers cared for homeless and destitute families in the stricken areas, warnings of continued flood conditions were issued from the weather bureau. Freezing weather that will slow up the discharge of waters from the hills into the Cumberland Valley was said to be the main hope of the rise quickly. While the heaviest property damage was believed to have been suffered at Nashville, where crops, merchandise and household goods val- \ ued at millions have been destroyed, the greatest death toll is believed to have ben taken in Arkansas. Six per- j sons are reported to have been j drowned in Arkansas, five in Mis- \ slssippi and two in Tennessee. Most of the deaths have been caused by motor cars skidding on water-swept roads or being carried away by the force of the floods. Three of the victims were said to have drowned when skiffs capsized while they were attempting to escape from the flood. The number of homeless has been roughly estimated at 10,000, although there are no definite figures available. Many rural communities have not been heard from since the rising waters (tut off communication. It is feared that, their reports will increase the death list. McCAIN IS SLATED FOR STATE JOE Delphi Man Due to Succeed Ellis as Commission Secretary Friday. ‘‘bligh-o the merry-o, we're passing out a job.” Such is the song of the Stateheiise. and whenever a, good position is open reports fly thick and faat regarding "who's who and j how come.” The latest of these is j that Reed McCain, Delphi, Ind., will | he appointed to the secretaryship of the public service commission about Friday. That is the public announcement which will be made on that {late, although the wiseacres have it that McCain has already been informed of his nomination. McCain will succeed Howell Ellis, who has been raised to the dignity of a commissioner by Governor Jackson. As Secretary Ellis received $3,600 and his new position pays $6,000 in salary. Knows Politicians Qualifications for the secretary job would seem to depend upon one’s acquaintanceship witli politicians' and members of the Legislature. McCain is said to know two very well. They are J. Glenn Harris, Gary, a veteran member, formerly of Delphi, and Ed Bowen, Republican chairman of the Ninth district. Now It seems that the commissioners have heard rumblings regarding dire tilings that may happen to them and their powers at the coming session of the Legislature. “When such a storm arises there is nothing like a good friend in that gregt deliberative body. Harris has been in jiolitics long enough to realize “upon” the value of “friendship.” At any rate, the McCain appointment has his backing and approval, It is said. Other Contenders Other contenders for the place were Homer Kimberlin, secretary of the State board of accounts; William F. Bohne, former secretary to Albert J. Beveridge, and a man named Pike froh Muncle. Now Pike was just a "piker,” so far as getting the job was concerned, and Bohne didn’t prove ni&ch better with his Beveridgo backing. Kimberlin had some show, hut McCain was “pretty well known” to use a quotation from Chairman John McCardle. McCardle is said to have told one of the applicants to “leave it to me, I’ll see the Governor.” He did. The Governor learned nice things about McCain—while the other applicant stood fast. McCain, it is said, Is an ex-service man. • At any rate, McCain appears to have triumphed, and, as a result, the public service commission will again be saved.

CENTRAL AMERICA ONION DECLARED ONLY PEACE DOPE Nicaraguan in Washington Seeking Aid of Congress for Plan. By W illiam Philip Simms, Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.—The establishment of a United States of Central America is the only hope of permanent peace and stability in that part of the world, according to Col. Miguel F. Sequeira of Granada. Nicaragua, now endeavoring to secure congressional indorsement here. “1 do not expect to see such a union made effective In a month or a year.” tlie colonel said, “hut I believe it a certainty within the next fixe or six years. "The first step would he to establish a Central American court of arbitration in Washington, to which Guatemala. Honduras. Salvador. Nicaragua and Costa Rica would appoint delegates. This court would be a permanent agency for reconciling their controversies. Washington would not intervene in any way in the internal affairs of the Centra/ American countries. "1 hope to secure congressional action on a resolution approving Til principle the arbitration court plan -also indorsing tlie union. After which I will return to Central Ameri, ca to work out the rest of tho plan. “There is a unionist party in each of the five republics. The movement is especially strong In Guatemala and Salvador. In the United States I have found much sympathy for the union, particularly in the Middle West and Mississippi valley, from which sections conslderable grain and manufactured articles find their way to Central America. They know a strong, progressive State down there would mean more business. “There are some difficulties to be overcome. I know. The location of the capital of the union is one of them. I think this should be in Nicaragua. This I say not because I am a Nicaraguan, but because some day anew transoceanic canal will be dog across the isthmus, and that canal will cross Nicaragua. Nicaragua will then become another cross-roads of the world and a great shipping and trade center."
