By EDWARD W. LEWIS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. — The legislative accomplishments of President Roosevelt's New Deal today stood completed, a record for history. Tomorrow the President’s second four years launch a possible “Second New Deal” but today the nation viewed as a completed whole the legislation whereby he sought to rejuvenate the stagnant economic and social structure of the depres-sion-stricken country. Most major accomplishments remained, but the National Recovery Administration and the first Agricultural Adjustment Administration, keystones of the original New Deal already were of the past, stricken by Supreme Court disapproval. Many Other Changes Major first-term legislative. achievements still intact include: 1. A comprehensive program of Federal relief aid, designed to keep all destitute Americans free from want. 2. Agricultural aid, predicated on the theory that farmers should get a “fair price” for their crops. 3. Labor safeguards designed to protect the worker's right to bargain for wages and hours through representatives of his own choosing. 4. Comprehensive delegation of fiscal and monetary powers to the | Executive Department of the Government. 5. New taxes designed to increase levies on the wealthy and to assure employees security in old age and unemployment.

Emergency Measures Recalled

W. members gathered before the gates af dawn. Under the direction of leaders, they formed a huge, running circle. Workers who attempted to enter the gates spun off the circle, two deep. Fights broke out between union and nonunion workers. One .picket was slugged with a black jack. Fifty police and company .guards hurled tear gas bombs, but were unable to break the picket lines. Approximately 1000 were in

occurred. Police restored order and permitted peaceful picketing by about 100 men to continue, The rest ‘marched off to a mass meeting.

Now, all you have to do if you ° want to make a hit with a woman is to tell her that she’s lookin’ thinner. ‘I suppose it’s just as bad all over the country, but out here in Hollywood, it looks like a woman will do purty near anything to get thinner. I moved out of one apartmetit house out here because I couldnt get any sleep. The woman upstairs took rollin’ exercises on the floor half the night, and the lady next door woke me up early with her bendin’ exercises over the radio. I wes always proud of the women folks of my family because I figgered they didn't go in for them kind of things, but when my aunt came out here not long ago, I noticed she looked thinner, and I told her so.

FEAR VOODOO DEATH, HIDDEN BY POLICE

Negro Mother and Daughter Bare Cult Activity.

By United Press DETROIT, Jan. 19.—A trembling Negro woman and her 11-year-old daughter were hidden by police today to protect them from being “sacrificed to Allah” in a 20-gallon pot of boiling water. Their story prompted speedy efforts to break up a new uprising of Detroit’s Negro voodoo cult which caused a death in 1932 and a riot in 1934. Detectives arrested Verlen MecQueen, 33, Negro, at\his home while he was tending a pot of water. His wife had reported that the “day of sacrifice” had arrivgd and that she and her daught ere to have been killed at a cult ceremony. McQueen, who calls himself Verlen Ali, because he is “a servant of Allah,” will be taken before Prosecutor Duncan C. McCrea and may be charged with threatening to kill. Mrs. McQueen and her daughter will be kept in hiding until police feel they are safe from possible re-

prisals by other cult members.

Thousands I Pouring Into Capital for Ceremony Tomorrow.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—“Rain, possibly mixed with sleet or snow,” was the weather forecast today for President Roosevelt's inauguration tomorrow. The U. S. Weather Bureau predicted that the 250,000 visitors jammed into the national capital to witness the historic ceremony and traditional parade, would suffer from: “Rain, possibly mixed with sleet or snow tonight and Wednesday. Colder tonight with lowest temperature about 32 degrees. Gentle to: moderate north winds becoming east Wednesday.” Even those conditions failed to check a crowd which already had taxed Washington hotels and private homes to capacity. Thousands are here now and more are arriving hourly. Visitors found the capitol bedecked with tri-colored bunting, flags and banners bearing pictures of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Garner— first President and Vice President since George Washington to be inaugurated on any day other than March 4. Ready to guard the President when he takes the oath of office were almost 3000 police and marines. Three score of the nation’s crack detectives will protect spectators from thugs, pickpockets and other petty crooks.

ADOPTS BANON

Deny Grant For Juvenile Home, Court

All plans for construction of a new Juvenile Detention Home and Juvenile Court here have been abandoned temporarily following refusal of the County Council to approve a $76,000 bond issue. In special session today, the Council turned down the ordinance. Clarence Wheatley, County Commissioners president, said new plans could not be drawn before Feb. 1, deadline set by the Feder) Ros ernment when «ib awarded a . $62,000 PWA grant in February. The Government is expected to withdraw the grant. Council members said they voted down the meéasure when bonding attorneys who attended the hearing said there were no provisions in statutes for bond issues to finance a detention home. Commissioners also indicated they would cancel the County’s option on land in the 700 block E. Market St., which they had planned to use as a site. Title on the property has not been cleared, they indicated. The present Juvenile Court facilities were scored by Judge Harry L. Eastman, Cleveland Juvenile Court, in an address for the Indianapolis Council of Social Agenies in the Y. M. C. A. last night.

NIESSE CLEARED OF FIRING SHOT

Deputies Think Driver Slain Attempting to Prevent Robbery of Fare.

County authorities investigating the murder early Sunday of William Ross, 30, taxi driver, today said they were convinced that Bernard Niesse, 37, held on a vagrancy charge for investigation, was not the trigger man. They said, however, that they believed the prisoner rode in the cab with the actual slayer and witnessed the killing, believed to have taken place on Fall Creek Blvd., near 44th St., where the body was found. Niesse, held under $5000 bond, insists that he knows nothing of the crime, was slugged and had a mental lapse while he wandered into the basement of the home of Merle L. Denney, 4200 N. Arlington Ave. where he was found and arrested. Niesse, according to Charles McCallister, chief jailer at the County Jail, who is directing the investigation, said he got into Mr. Ross’ cab with an unidentified acquaintance after leaving a downtown tavern. Mr. McCallister’s reconstruction of the crime'is that the acquaintance attempted to rob Niesse while in the cab and that Mr. Ross, the driver, was angered by his fare’s action and engaged in a controversy. He believes that when the three got out of the cab, Niesse was slugged and that Mr. Ross was shot. Chemical tests showed, authorities said, that Niesse had not fired a firearm within 48 hours before arrested. Fingerprints, they said, apparently had been wiped off the cab.

Indiana Streams at Highest Levels Since 1913.

LEVEE IS IN PERIL

Wabash Falling North of Vincennes; Red Cross in Areas.

Relieved by cessation of rain and lew temperatures, flood waters swept south along Indiana streams today, overflowing additional lowland acres and reaching the

1 highest levels since 1913.

Sunshine and rising temperatures greeted Indianapolis today. Residents of areas inundated by White River and Eagle Creek, last week, today were clearing away the debris and mud deposits left when the streams returned to their courses. Rain or snow tonight was predicted here, but the Weather Bureau said it would be light and not add to the flood danger. J. H. Armington, U. S. meteorologist here, expects most streams to reach their crest within the next 24 to 36 hours, he said today. Both the Wabash and White Rivers were falling north of Vincennes and Shoals, respectively. Additional families were forced to evacuate however. Fifty families were moved from Villa Sites and Oakdale, outlying sections of Evansville, because of the rampaging Ohio River,

Hazleton Sector Serious

One of the most serious threats in that sector was along the west fork of White River at Hazleton, where a stage of 29 feet was near the top of the banks and a rise of about two feet more was expected. The east fork of White River had reached 3.56 feet, 15.6 feet over flood stage, at Shoals and was expected to reach its crest soon. The stream already was falling a few miles north. Petersburg reported White River had reached 26.9 feet, 10.9 feet over flood stage, and was expected to go one foot higher. The Wabash was stationary at 22.3 feet at Vincennes today and was falling north of there. Further rising along the Wabash to the south was assured, however. At Mount Carmel, Ill, where the Wabash and White Rivers meet, a stage of 25.4 feet was reported, about nine feet over flood stage, and

crest of the 1913 flood at Mount Carmel was 31 feet.

Ohio Near 46-Foot Mark

Revised forecasts by M. S. Collom, Evansville meteorologist, indicated the worst flood since 1913 along the Ohio River also. Mr, Collom said he expected the Ohio to reach 46 feet at Evansville, as compared to the 1913 record of 48.4 feet. The river already was 43.5 feet at Evansville. Downtown :Evansville was well protected by a new plaza and river wall erected by PWA. Forecasts for other points along the Ohio included: | Owensboro, Ky., now at 43.9 feet, 29 feet over flood stage, to reach 47 feet; Newburgh, now at 45.8 feet, 7.8 feet over flood stage, to reach 48.5 feet; Uniontown, Ky. now at 458 feet, 8.8 feet over flood stage, to reach 49 feet.
