SUBZERO WAVE IS BACK AGAIN WITH BLIZZARO

New Lows Are Recorded in Several States; 202 Reported Dead. (Continued From Page One) the worst blizzard in the city’s history, with road crews powerless to buck the drifts at 15 below zero. A three-car caravan shoveled 90 miles through drifts to take Murial Dupris, 4. to the Cheyenne Indian Agency Hospital for an emergency operation. Bismarck, N. D., reported 26 below, Devil’s Lake 18 below, Rapid City 30 below, Willlston, Mont., 32 below and The Pas, Manitoba, 30 below. 202 Dead in ZZ States Bus and automobile traffic was paralyzed over five states with conditions growing worse hourly. Trains into Dcs Moines were four hours late. Manitowoc, Wis., had its first train arrival yesterday for a week. Deaths due to the prolonged cold wave today had risen to 202 in 22 states, and it was feared that the number would rise to 300 over the week-end. The Chicago weather bureau predicted temperatures from 10 to 25 below zero in the Middle West, with no respite in sight until late next week. Rescuer Found Dead By United Press WASHINGTON. Feb. B—One member of a rescue party taking food to marooned Tangier Islanders was frozen to death and six others found suffering from exposure, a report today to Coast Guard headquarters here said. Scrgt. Wilbert V. Hunter, 32, of the Maryland State Police, was frozen to death when he and others became lost in a blizzard on Chesapeake Bay for several hours last night. The party left Crisfield, Md., yesterday afternoon and was attempting to pull two sleds loaded with 2000 pounds of food and medical supplies across the ice that has blocked the bay for several days. When the party failed to appear early last evening rescue squads were sent out from the Coast Guard cutter Travis. Finally, near midnight, a group from the Travis found the party struggling feebly through the snowdrifts. Sergt. Hunter was found in a snowbank into which he had stumbled and died of exposure. Fuel Prices Skyrocket (Copyright, 1936, by United Press) CHICAGO, Feb. B.—Millions of dollars added to the cost of highway maintenance, skyrocketing fuel prices and more than 202 dead in 22 states were the tolls computed today in the wake of the nation’s second bitter cold wave. Industry was crippled and private fuel dealers from Wisconsin to Alabama parceled out orders in bushel lots as they fought serious fuel famines. Coal miners added an extra day to their schedule to help abate the emergency. Railroads estimated increased coal shipments from a lo*v of 32 per cent to a high of 66 per cent oyer last year. Deliveries were delayed by mountainous drifts which held up trains for hours. Shipping docks in the Great Lakes area were choked with coal which could not be moved to the needy areas. Wisconsin alone estimated the cost of clearing snowblocked highways at $5,000,009. Metropolitan New York reported snow removal costs at $5,100,000 and fuel costs at more than $5,000,000. Fear Floods in South By United Press ATLANTA, Ga.. Feb. B.—Warmth returning to the old South threatened vast devastation from floods today. Already eight persons had been drowned and hundreds had been made homeless by raging rivers. Unprecedented snow has fallen in the South during the past week, crystalizing vast quantities of water in country drained by the larger river systems. If the snow melts too rapidly, experts feared, floods will be widespread and devastating. River systems already are near their capacities. Floods threatened chiefly in south central Alabama and Mississippi.

Lecturer at Town Hall Asks Alien Law Revision Edward Corsi, New York Home Relief Official, Asserts Regulations Fail to Meet Immigration Problems. “If the American public knew how vicious and absurd are the deportation laws of this country, and how greatly they fail in coping with the alien criminal, the laws would be amended at once,” Edward Corsi of New York told a Town Hall audience in the Columbia Club today.

C. OF C. ASSAILS RAILROAD ORDER Voluntary Consolidation Is Proposed by National Organization. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. —Voluntary consolidation of the nation’s railroads was put forward today by the United Chamber of Commerce as the “reasonable and proper” cure for evils of wasteful competition. The Chamber emphasized the belief that railroads “could be depended upon to take the initiative” in bringing about the mergers. The statement was construed as an attack on the plan of Joseph B. Eastman, Federal transportation coordinator, to force rail lines to consolidate terminal facilities in 11 cities. The C. of C. contended that the railroad situation is constantly changing, making consolidation by the government “impractical.” The Chamber contended that the only function of government should be to pass upon proposals “worked out by the interests concerned.” It also warned that Federal efforts to enforce consideration would “undoubtedly cause prolonged litigation and hinder, rather than promote, the desired ends.” TRAIN WRECKS TRUCK: DRIVER IS UNINJURED Michigan Man Leaps to Safety; Cargo of New Cars Demolished. Times Special ARCOS. Ind., Feb. B.—Ray Fox, Flint (Mich.) truck driver, was alive and uninjured today, but a large truck and a trailer loaded with four new automobiles were only twisted debris. Fox leaped to safety when a Nickel Plate passenger train crashed into the truck three miles east of here last night. Parts of his vehicle and its cargo were scattered for more than 50 yards along the track. Damage to the engine delayed the train five hours. SOCIALISTS WILL MEET Marion County Group to Gather at 2:30 Tomorrow. A membership meeting of the Socialist Party of Marion County, affiliated with the Socialist Party of Indiana.

‘That Fool Dog Dan’ n a a tt t, Farmers’ Voices Quiver as They Agree Terrier Must Have Frozen to Death in Cavern.

ICKESBURG, Pa., Feb. B.—Six farmers with incongruous quivers in their voices agreed today that probably “That fool little Dan” had frozen to death in a cavern high on the side of snowy Tuscarora Mountain. Dan was a vestpocke) terrier who thought he was a big dog and bet his life on it. Seventeen days ago two boys told him to “go eet that fox.” B 8

Dan followed the fox through heavy brush, across frozen streams, under windfalls and into a dark crevice in a great mountain boulder. The fox leaped up an uicline in the fissure, ran precariously along a ledge and took again to the undergrowth above. Dan tried the same jump, slipped, rolled 40 feet farther down the crevice and was marooned at the entrance to a long but narrow cavern. Last night six men, working by the light of a mountain moon, completed mining operations that would have bothered professional miners, and reached the spot in the rock where only yesterday morning Dan had whimpered his misery. MUM CHARLES WILSON crawled over sharp rubble and jagged ice into the cave entrance. His flashlight showed white hairs on sharp rock corners, telling mutely that Dan had been there and had scrambled repeatedly up a feet of his prison. But Dan wasn’t there.

CLOCK SHOWS NEED FOR SAFE DRIVING

“Equally ridiculous,” continued Mr. Corsi, assistant deputy commissioner of Home Relief in New York, “is the bill now before Congress asking wholesale deportation of aliens. This would mean breaking up many homes where the wife and children of the family are American born, although the husband and father may be an alien. “The Kerr bill, a human and proper measure for handling the alien deportation problem, provides for a board of three which to hear all appeals of aliens.” Mr. Corsi, called by President Hoover a few years ago to clean up abuses on Welfare Island, has been connected with alien relief work in New York many years. Families Threatened “If the present bill is not put through to amend the harsh immigration and alien laws, 2800 families will be broken up,” Mr. Corsi said. “Worst of the trouble existing in any alien work,” he continued, “is the petty racketering which abounds. When a man knows he is in this country illegally and liable to arrest at any time, he becomes easy victim for blackmail. Many cases of this existed on the Island. Another factor with which the department must deal is the practice of aliens to enter Cuba, learn a few words of Spanish and get a Cuban passport into this country. “Doubtless there should be strict alien laws against the criminal and undesirable classes, but these should not work hardships on well-behaved citizens.” N TRAVEL FILM BOOKED BY CHURCH SOCIETY ’Round the World Scenes to Be Shown by Capt. Johnson. A motion picture of scenes taken by the modern “Jules Verne,” Capt. Irving Johnson, is to be shown at a benefit program sponsored by the Men’s Club of the Church of the Advent in Caleb Mills Hall, March 4, Lyman B. Whitaker, chairman, said today. The lecture is to include pictures of points visited on Capt. Johnson's recent trip around the world with 16 volunteer seaman. Capt. Johnson was persuaded by Dr. Southworth, Cincinnati, physician on his world voyage, to show the pictures here. He is a brother of the Rev. George S. Southworth, pastor of the church. G. 0. P. DELAYS ACTION March 6 Set as Date for Forming Platform Advisory Committee. The Republican state committee has deferred organizing a platform advisory committee until March 6. Don B. Irwin, state chairman, in a session yesterday at the Claypool, said several northern Indiana members were unable to attend the meeting because of road conditions.

Wilson turned his light into the long ca\e ahead of him, too narrow for a man to enter but wide enough for Dan, hardly more than a foot tall, and called: “Here, Dan. Here, Dan.’* The cave echoed back his words, but the six listening men heard nothing else. They said little as thev picked up sledges, rock drills, pickaxes find chisels with which they had broken through to the cave after dynamiting as far as they dared. He s sure dead.” Wilson conjectured wearily. “I saw some of the meat we've been shoving in there. It hadn’t been touched for several days. He must've been too weak to eat. I reckon he crawled back in the end of the cave and froze to death. We can’t get in there.” Some of the men were going back to the cave today to call again. They thought it was useless, but several men said they would join the first one who volunteered to., make the long, cold trip again*}

The action brought by the Indiana Association of Beauticians and Zeda Lloyd, operator of the Lloyd Beauty Shop, alleges that the ordinance is unlawful, discriminatory and unconstitutional, and that the license fees do not bear reasonable relation to the cost of inspection. Defendants named are Mayor Kern, Walter C. Boetcher, city controller; Chief Morrissey, Albert Thayer, assistant city prosecutor; Theodore H. Dammeyer, Safety Board president, and Dr. Herman Morgan, city health director.

MARINES FAIL TO LAND WITH PARK DRILL PLAN Board Holds Club Fort Against Free Practice Appeal. If the United States Marine Reserves want to turn the Riverside golf course clubhouse into a part time armory, they will probably have to pay S3OOO for the privilege. The Park Board received today without enthusiasm a proposal that the marines be allowed to drill each week on the second floor of the clubhouse, recently remodeled from a shelter house at a cost of S3OOO. Val McLeay, city plan commission secretary and club president, said the building was remodelled largely through private donations. A. C. Sallee, park superintendent, said he doubted if the heating facilities could stand the additional usage of warming a company of marines every week.

SOUTH ANXIOUS OVER TVA FATE BEFORE COURT

High Tribunal’s Action to Spread Either Joy or Gloom. (Continued From Page One) over lines built by the Federal government. This would stop cheap TVA power at the “bus bar”—that means the switchboard. What would that mean to city dwellers in East Tennessee? It would mean that unless they, through their city governments, could construct transmission lines from their towns to the switchboards, they would not get TVA power. Transmission lines are costly. Few cities have the money or the credit to build such lines. It would mean that the private power interests, which have a network of lines in this valley, would be in a position to hook up with switch boards at TVA dams. If the supreme Court stops TVA at the “bus bar,” the authority might have no control over the rates at which its electricity is resold to consumers. What would this mean to agriculture? TVA has under way in almost 100 counties a voluntary farm program. It supplies cheap phosphate fertilizer to farmers, and instructs them at retiring part of their eroded and worn land while other acres are planted in crops that will restore fertility and produce feed crops. Aiding Crop Improvement It is helping farmers improve food crops, as well. To this program of readjusting and rehabilitating the basic industry of this valley, TVA’s rural electrification program is intimately linked. With cheap power on farms, farmers’ lives will be easier. If TVA is stopped at the switchboard, the farmer will depend once again on private companies for rural electrification. Experience before TVA shows that such dependence brought little power to the farming sections, and the power wasn’t cheap. § What would be’left of TVA after such a decision? It could go ahead with its dams, probably without installing power generators. It might go ahead with its experiments in making cheap phosphate fertilizer. It could go ahead with its reforestation work, its experiments in ceramics, its health work and other subsidiary activities. But the decision would take the heart out of TVA and it would be a severe blow to the whole South.

Three bandits who strode into Tony Sodo’s tavern early today would have encountered less resistance in a den of lions. Tony added a third dead bandit to his score. At the cry of “stick ’em up,” Tony dived through a trap door, turned out the lights upstairs and raced for the street. He emerged just as the bandits backed out. Tony pulled the first trigger of his double-barrelled shotgun. The shell was damp and failed to explode. The trio opened fire, wounding him in the hip. Tossing the shotgun aside, Tony grappled with a bandit, took his revolver away and shot him twice, fatally. The other two fled. The dead man was identified as Clarence Lentner, 25, Hammond. While a doctor patched Tony’s hip, he cut another notch beside the two he put in his gunstock five years ago. NEGRO LEADER HEARD IN Y. M. C. A.

HINT TOWNSEND M'NUTTGHOICE Followers Indicate He Has Inside Track If Blessings Are Bestowed. (Continued From Page One) well-known grapevine method. In other words, certain lieutenants would be intrusted with the task of making the Governor’s wishes known by passing along the “go sign.” Gov. McNutt is said to have conferred frequently this week with two of his closest advisers, Frank McHaie and Virgil (Skits) Simmons, in an effort to decide on the most likely candidate. Their objective, of course, is the selection of a candidate who can carry Indiana for President Roosevelt this fall, as well as the selection of a candidate whom they can nominate in the June convention. If the so-called administration blessing falls on any of the three candidates in the race, it is agreed that the recipient probably will be Lieut. Gov. Townsend. His Name Held Asset He is an administration leader and would make the race on the present administration’s record. Too, many political strategists believe the Lieutenant Governor’s vote-pulling power in the fall election would be enhanced because a great number of uninformed elderly voters erroneously believe he has some connection with the Townsend old-age revolving pension plan. Another school of thought believes the coincidence in names is a handicap to Mr. Townsend, but the predominant opinion is that the gain would offset any possible loss. Along with reports that the Governor would abandon his Sphinxlike silence on the nomination were hints that anew candidate would be placed in the field by the Administration. Such a candidate, however, would be only a stalking horse to attract a large block of delegates to be used in a convention, it was said.
