OHIO BACKS UP ON STATE LOWLANDS; EAST COUNTS LOSS

River Inundates Highways, Farmlands; Score of Families Flee. SCORES LEAVE HOMES Vevay, Aurora, Madison and Rising Sun Hit; Damage Reported Light. Backing up on farmlands, inundating highways, and forcing families to Dee, the Ohio river flood crest continued to surge through Indiana lowlands today. A score of families evacuated homes in bottomlands near Aurora as the high waters lapped at the doors of homes. Seven state highways were partially flooded resulting in the closing of rural schools and rerouting of motorists. Ten families were made homeless at Vevay as the flood stage neared 50 feet. In Aurora the refugees were housed, temporarily, in an old school building and athletic hall. The Red Cross furnished lood and other necessaries. The Big Four railroad bridge at Aurora was weighted down with loaded coal cars to prevent the structure from weakening. Operations on bus lines throughout the affected areas were halted. River Squatters Quit Homes The river neared a 59-foot stage at Rising Sun, but slight flood damage was expected. Residents in 15 homes at Madison were forced to flee as water spread over the lowlands and approached a 49-foot stage expected during the days. The railway freight station was flooded and cisterns and basements filled with backwater. One-half mile of Front-st, In Madison, was inundated The leveeprotected street runs parallel to the river. Union Township, always hard-hit at flood periods, was expected to bear the brunt of the high waters near Evansville. A levee, built by Civilian Conservation Corps workers and farmers, was destroyed during the February ice jam. River squatters abandoned their homes as the Ohio broadened. Families Ready to Flee The Evansville flood crest was expected to reach 45 feet. This is below' the high water of February and is not expected to result in major damage. At New Albany, with a 61-foot crest expected late today or tomorrow, 35 lowland families packed belongings in readiness for flight if necessary. Lack of excessive rainfall throughout sou'hern Indiana is expected to mitigate the flood damage. Officials throughout the river sector claimed bottomland leeway for overflow waters w'ould be ample to prevent serious damage. Highways closed by the State Highway Department are: U. S. 50—At Aurora and Lawrcnceburg and also north of Lawrenceburg. State Road 56—West of Rising Sun. State Road 56—At Lam, east of Madison. State Road 133—North of NewBest on. State Road 33—East of Mauckport. State Road 62—East of Leavenworth. State Road 66—North and south of Derby.

174 Officially Listed Dead and 115 More Missing as Water Recedes. FEAR DRAIN ON RELIEF Economic Toll May Reach $2,000,000,000, Say Industrialists. (Copyright, 1938. by United Press) Rivers that for 16 days have surged wildly over parts of 16 states exhausted their force in their lower reaches, today. Their recession uncovered for the first time the full picture of destruction seldom equaled in American disasters. Official figures obtained from coroners, police and sheriffs established a confirmed death list of 174. At least 115 more were missing. Unofficial estimates of property damage totaled $275,000,000. Sources of these estimates included Governors, Mayors, WPA engineers and state highway departments. The total economic loss staggered imagination. Some industrialists said it would pass $2,000,000,000. counting the nroperty damage wrought by the floods directly, business days lost by thousands of merchants, working hours lost by probably 200,000 employes of mills, factories, stores and offices, and millions of tons of fertile farmland washed into the sea, the estimate apeared to be conservative. Fear Drain on Relief Rolls Welfare authorities feared that the thousands of families left without means of support by destroyed stores and factories, and thousands of others made indigent hy destruction of their houses or loss of home furnishings, would seriously tax relief rolls for years. Governors of affected states have revealed plans to ask nearly SIOO,000.000 of Federal funds for rehabilitation and relief. In addition, all flooded states, counties and municipalities have used or will use considerable sums of their own money. Private agencies, such as the Red Cross and Salvation Army, are obtaining donations swelling the total of relief money to around $200,000,000. Questioning of city and state officials down the courses of the rivers that flooded last week, checking the official figures against estimates by business men and relief workers, revealed this detailed picture of the flood’s toll today: MAINE Five deaths. Gov. Louis Brann estimated damage at $25,000,000. Conditions in principal cities were: Lewiston—Property loss. $1,000,000. Several feet of water still in streets.

BUSINESS SEEN AS LANDON AID Eastern Stalwarts Resigned to Midwest Nominee, Observers Say. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 24.—The Republican Party is moving today toward nomination of a Midwesterner for President and a campaign in which the G. O. P. will undertake to defend business and private initiative against the New Deal. Eastern soundings demonstrate that Big Business along the Atlantic seaboard is willing and anxious to back a prairie Republican. The consensus of observers is that Gov. Alf M. Landon is considered in the East to be the “most available’’ Republican candidate. That means the men who write the checks for campaign funds believe Mr. Landon has a better chance to defeat President Roosevelt than, for instance, Col. Frank Knox of Chicago. If Col. Knox made a strong finish in the April and May pre-convention weeks the hopes of Eastern Landon boosters would turn willingly to the man from Chicago. There would be less Eastern enthusiasm tor Senator William E. Borah. Northeastern Atlantic seaboard opposition to the New Deal is less concerned today with the identity of the Republican nominee than with the urgent desire to get Mr. Roosevelt out of the White House. ROOSEVELT GOES TO SEA FOR TWO WEEKS President Will Transfer to Yacht From Destroyer. By United Press MIAMI. Fla., March 24.—President Roosevelt headed into the Caribbean today on a two-weeks sea-going holiday.

Weather conditions permitting, he planned to set out some time during the day to angle for barracuda r.nd marlin.

MORRISSEY, his Irish ire aroused, today called Arthur L. Trester. czar of Indiana basketball, a “small-time high school teacher” and challenged him to try to get his job. The chief told the Safety Board tha. Trester. Indiana High School Athletic Association head, demanded the badge numbers of all policeman assigned to the state tournament Saturday at Butler fieldhouse. Trester, according to Chief Morrissey, complained that too many policemen were using their badges as passes to enter the fieldhouse. The chief brusquely replied by letter that it was too early now to send the numbers, and besides, if Mr. Trester wanted the badge numbers, he could take them himself as the officers reported for duty. “I talked to Trester on the telephone and he threatened to get my job,” chief Morrissey told the board.

JAFSIE AGREES TO QUIZ, FLAYS GOV. HOFFMAN ‘Seriously Doubt Your Good Faith/ Condon Says in Wire to Executive. QUESTIONS AUTHORITY Accuses Him of Working ‘in Concert’ With Lawyers for Bruno. By United Press NEW YORK, March 24.—1n 300 sharp, telegraphed words to Gov. Harold G. Hoffman of New Jersey, Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condon agreed today to submit to new questioning concerning his part in the Lindbergh case. Dr. Condon made plain his resentment of the numerous attacks made upon him by Gov. Hoffman and attorneys for Bruno Richard Hauptmann (who had acted, he charged, in concert) after he left the United States for a vacation in Panama. He told Hoffman that he doubted his “sincerity and good faith”; that he had “usurped the functions of the courts and the duly constituted investigating officials”; that, because of his recent activities, he is “disqualified from conducting an impartial examination on a fair basis.” Dr. Condon’s telegram replied to one from Gov. Hoffman asking an interview. It seemed deliberately sharpened as a broadside attack on Hoffman. The Governor could question him, he said, but only in his home in Bronx borough, New York City, in the presence of Atty. Gen. David T. Wilentz, and by submitting his questions in writing, to which he promised to reply in writing “in the interests of clarity and relevance.” Death Dale Is Near Hoffman’s telegram and Condon’s reply were made public as the clouds blackened for the Lindbergh kidnaper. Today in the Trenton death house, Hauptmann signs a new appeal to the Court of Pardons, meeting to consider the case of another condemned murderer. There was little likelihood the court would act, since it refused once before. Unless there is startling new evidence or Gov. Hoffman grants anew reprieve, which he claims he has no intention of doing, Hauptmann dies one week from tonight. His telegram continued: “Yet not until after I sailed for a winter holiday with my daughter, who was also a witness for the state, did a procession of statements appear in the public press purporting to have emanated from you or your agents. These statements concerned my arrest, flight, extradition, etc. Doubts Ilis Sincerity “The occasion of my departure last January after a conference with your attorney general was alluded to as possessing some malign significance. There have been a number of veiled charges that I have been guilty of inconsistencies as to statements attributed to me. Statements derogatory to me have allegedly been given out through your present representative or by your agents ns well as by defense counsel with whom you have apparently acted in concert.” “I have concluded because of your reported activities and of utterances attributed to you in the public press that you are disqualified from conducting an impartial examination on a fair basis. I do not believe that you have any legal authority or justification for your present activities and I further seriously doubt your sincerity and good faith.” MENINGITIS TOLL HIGH 0 Kentucky Reports 45 Deaths Since December; 30 Active Cases. By United Press LOUISVILLE. Ky., March 24.—At least 45 persons have died from spinal meningitis in Kentucky since the middle of December, Dr. F. W. Caudill, state epidemiologist, reported today. Cases officially listed in the threemonth period total 182, Dr. Caudill said, and of these 100 have recovered. leaving about 30 active cases. Strict quarantine is in force in Harlan, Letcher and Pike counties.

“He’s not big enough to get my job, and I don’t like the idea of a small-time high school teacher telling me how to run my department.” a a a WILLIAM F. HURD, city building commissioner, also revealed that Trester had complained that building inspectors had disrupted arrangements for the tournament by poking around the stands just before the games. Chief Morrissey told the board he further had informed Mr. Trester that if some policemen did enter the fieldhouse without assignments they would be valuable in case of any emergencies. The new police rules book specifies that no policemen are to use their uniforms to obtain entrance into paid performances. Chief Morrissey disclosed that he had challenged Trester to appear before the board today with fits complaint.

Indian Sign Paging a Potawatamie— This Road Problem Is Serious.

THE Property Owners’ Protective Association of Center Township, outside the city, and Warren Township, today was having Potawatamie Indian trouble again—a sort of retroactive headache. The association met last night in School 3 on the matter, but got nowhere. On Oct. 16, 1826. Federal agents, more than likely with their tongues in their cheeks, signed the Treaty of Cessions with the Potawatamie Indians, in which the whites got a strip of land 100 feet wide from Lake Michigan to the Ohio River by way of Indianapolis, and other extensive lands. For this, the whites were to build a road 100 feet wide from Lake Michigan to the Ohio River, by way of Indianapolis, and were to do the following things for their red brothers, towit: Provide them with S2OOO annually in silver for 22 years; provide a blacksmith at some convenient location; build a mill on the Tippecanoe River and provide and maintain a miller; and provide annually 160 bushels of salt. u a a WELL, the Potawatamie Indians moved away, and didn’t check very closely on whether the roadway was 100 feet wide. Neither did the people, the State Highway Department claims, around New Bethel, where they were incautious enough to build a building now and then on what was intended for the roadway. Horse and buggy traffic didn’t require 100 feet and every one sort of relaxed. Then came the auto. The State Highway Department looked into the matter and decided to widen the roadway to treaty specifications. The Indiana Supreme Court has ruled that the treaty stands, but the properly owners, faced with lasing trees and hedges, and even buildings in some places that encroach on the right-of-way, still are protesting. At some places in and near New Bethel the roadway is only 80 feet wide. That’s the way things stand now. All concerned would be glad to hear from a Potawatamie Indian on the matter, if there are any in the immediate vicinity. GERMANY, ITALY FAIL TO ACCEPT ACCORD League Council Adjourned Indefinitely. By United Press LONDON, March 24—The Council of the League of Nations adjourned indefinitely today because of the failure of Germany and Italy so far to accept the Locarno accord on the Rhineland reached by Britain, Fiance and Belgium. The council will meet again in Geneva on a date not yet set. The Locarno powers meanwhile will try to reach an agreement. Joachim von Ribbentrop, representing Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, arrived today, presumably bringing Hitler’s reply to the Locarno proposals. It was believed to be negative. The council adjourned just as Von Ribbentrop was arriving. Three Sign Accord By United Press ROME, March 24 —The new tripartite agreement signed by Italy, Austria and Hungary was revealed today to bind each signatory to undertake no important political negotiations without first consulting the others. The agreement also provides for establishment of a permanent body for reciprocal consultations among the three signatories, thus binding them together in a manner equivalent to the formation of a formal entente.

3-WAY TRAFFIC STICKERS HERE j ~ Police Renew City Safety Campaign With Their Arrival. The arrival at police headquarters today of new triplicate sticker forms i signaled the renewal of the police | traffic safety campaign. Termed “fix proof’ by Chief Morj rissey, the new stickers provide ini dividual, nonerasable form to the ; offender, traffic officer and record | clerk. Chief Morrissey said there would be a 72-hour check on all stickers. Those not appearing within that I time are to be notified and further delays are to result in arrests by I warrant. For out-of-county violators, Chief ! Morrissey has provided "courtesy stickers.’’ Licenses are to be listed by traffic officers upon first and second violations. Arrests are to be made on third violations. Traffic Capt. Lewis Johnson said he had obtained a list from the state auto license department of all county motorists as a check against those local residents with out-of-county licenses. Violators without drivers’ licenses are to be taken to headquarters and slated. If a motorist remaias in his car while it is parked in an alley, he is to be checked for a driver’s license. Violations liable for stickers include double parking, parking in alley without driver, parking in restricted zones, parking on the wrong side of the street and parking overtime.

FINAL HOME PRICE THREE CENTS

Urges Judges to Select Competent Persons on County Boards. DISCUSS SECURITY ACT Fred Hoke, State Body Head, Asks Quick Action by Jurists. Wavne Coy. acting administrator of the newly created State Board of Public Welfare and high in th# councils of Gov. McNutt, today told 50 Indiana Circuit Court judges that the state administration will bring no pressure on them in th naming of county board members. At a meeting in the Claypool palm room Mr. Coy said that the success or failure of the Public Welfare Act rests solely on the competency of their welfare board appointments and the administration of the welfare act in each county. Urging that competent persons be named to the five-man boards in each judicial circuit, and that highgrade workers be selected to administer the act. Mr. Coy said: “The public welfare act may be used to build up a political machine, or it may be used to give a high level of service to the community in which you reside.” Giance for Public Service Mr. Coy pointed out that in naming five non-salaried persons to county welfare boards the judges have an opportunity to render outstanding service to their community. "I have some hesitancy in discussing your appointments. A great deal has been said about ‘home rule’ in the past session of the General Assembly. This never would have been said if it had not been a political campaign year,” Mr. Coy declared. “The state welfare board does not seek to dominate your selection for places on the boards. The fufo and final responsibility of your selections rests upon the people you put up on the board. Up to Communities “The state department can not administer public welfare in this state —it is going to be up to the communities. Success or failure rests on your choice of individuals in your community.” He emphasized that initial appointees should be well-trained persons familiar with public welfare. Need for a qualified county director and the appointment of a trained personnel to work with the director was termed by Mr. Coy "a saving in time to the taxpayers.” "The sky is the limit in your obtaining a competent personnel. There is nothing in the act to prevent your community from obtaining the best.” he said. Indiana in Front Co-operation of the Federal government, state government and local communities in the social security program shows how far the nation has gone in meeting its problems, he stated. “Indiana is in the forefront, and one of the few states enacting the entire program of social security,* he said. Probation officers of circuit court® and social workers also attended ths one-day conference with state welfare board members. Fred Hoke, welfare board president, urged the “quick and intelligent administration of the law so that the program can be started immediately.” A digest of the public welfare measure was given shortly before noon by Charles Marshall, assistant director of the Governor s Commission on Unemployment Relief. Following a noon luncheon an open forum on the act was held. Late today the welfare board ia to meet to plan organization of the state department. REPUBLICANS’ SPEAKER HITS TOWNSEND PLAN Pension Proposal Would Result in Chaos, Douglass Says. “The Tow'nsend plan would bring economic chaos if put into operation.” Benjamin Wallace Douglass, Brown County critic of the New Deal, told the Hoosier Republicans, Inc., this noon at the Columbia Club. “The Townsend plan calls for an expenditure of 24 billions, which is one-half of the net income of the nation, and consequently an impossible situation. One-tenth of the population would get one-half the net income under thla plan.” He said the present period in American government was characteristic of certain insects “which attempt to progress by prodigious leaps, but who possess such poor eyesight and such poor co-ordina-tion that they never know in advance where they are going to land.” SPRING MUST BE HERE Thief Takes Fishing Tackle From Local Man’s Home.
