Action Upon Reports That Strike to Be Extended.

Workers Ready to Resist Ejection in Case Orders Are Made for Evacuation.

By United Press FLINT, Mich, Feb. 1.—General Motors Corp. moved today for legal determination of the right of sitdown strikers to occupy its plants as reports spread through this in-

dustrial city that the workers might seek to extend the scope of their |

strike. With approach of the hour for a circuit court showdown on the corporation’s request for an injunction compelling evacuation of Fisher Body plants 1 and 2, it was learned | authoritatively that Uhited Automobile Workers of America mem- | bers were considering a sit-down | strike in the reopened plant of the | Chevrolet Motor Car Co. Any move in this direction, it | was said, would be taken late in| the afternoon, after Circuit Judge | Paul V. Gadola had heard argu-| ments of union ‘attorneys against the removal of hundreds of sid down strikers from the body plants, Union lawsers must show cause why the strikers should not be re-| moved and prohibited from inter- | fering with the movements in these plants or company officials.

Union Officials Silent |

¢

| appeared strangely eager to stick their necks in a noose by confessing to seemingly improbable crimes. \ Criminologists, psychologists, legal experts and the public generally have tried to solve the mystery. Yet, all the time, in exile in Mexico, is Leon Trotsky, center of the whole amazing drama. Accordingly, Roy W. Howard, of the Scripps-Howard Newspapers, sent him a wire asking the famous Bolshevik for his explanation. And here it is— Trotsky’s answer, in which he charges that the confessions are the | result of a long and ingenious and forced “build-up” and in which, among other things, he predicts the carly doom of Dictator Stalin.

(Editorial, Page 14) | By LEON TROTSKY

(Copyright, 1937, by Scripps-Howard Newspapers) EXICO CITY, Fcb. 1.—The simplest and, at first glance, most convincing method of defense against the Moscow accusations would be to say: “The accused are not Trotskyists. Since 1928 they have been firm enemies of Trotskyism. What they may have done, or to what depths they may have sunk, I do not know. For a long time | I have received no information concerning them. Yet it is absolutely | clear that they hoped to save their heads through my political liquidation.” All that is true. But it is only haif of the truth. In spite of all | that has been said, I am convinced that the old Bolsheviks whom I love and the rest—have not com-: | mitted, and could not commit, the | hy this defense of his own worst

Over the week-end the Governor conferred with leaders of both sides and today as he continued his efforts, he told newspapermen:

LAWRENCEBURG DESERTED CITY

Not a Home Yet Fit for Occupancy, Survey by

Times Special LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. Feb. 1. —Although flood waters have receded an estimated seven feet, not a house in this town of 5000 persons is fit for occupancy. It will be many days before homes, some in the higher sections, are habitable, Maj. Walter S. Fowler, military commander, said today.

Two locomotives that furnished

steam for emergency light and heat for five days have been disconnected from the steam lines at Seagram's distillery and fires again are burning under plant boilers. According to Maj. Fowler, there is no disorder, little looting and the health situation is satisfactory. Good water still is flowing from deen wells at the distilleries and water in the town of Greendale also is safe, authorities say. State Senator Thomas Hendricks, Indiana Medical Association secre=tary, and his brother, Blythe Hendricks, Indianapolis Safety Board secretary, last night visited the emergency hospital set up here 10 days ago by Dr. M. Gehrman, plant physician. There are 39 persons in the hospital. Senator Hendricks has been touring the flood front since last Wednesday, preparing a report for the State Medical Association.

Leavenworth Homes Seen Above Water

Times Special LEAVENWORTH, Feb. 1.—This little town, where only four houses now show above the water, is to be moved to higher ground, Col. John S. Fishback, in charge of the National Guard in this area, said today after an air inspection. “The residents of this desolate and destroyed community aren't preparing to attempt rehabilitation.” he said. “They are going to rebuild their town on the hilltops, where they now are housed in refuge camps.” The entire business district of Tell City is under water, he said. “Conditions of desoluation” exist in small towns along the river from Tell City to Cannelton,” Col. Fishback said. There is a minimum of sickness in the area, however. he added. with only one case of scarlet fever in Tell City. Col. Fishback also flew over the New Albany-Jeffersonville area and Louisville yesterday. “From the air, Louisville has the appearance of Venice,” he said. “Boats appear to be moving up and down the streets on the right and left sides, in orderly fashion. much as auto traffic moves.”

Cairo’s Dikes Hold; River Hits Record At Memphis.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 1.— The Army stood sentinel today over every foot of levee in the Memphis district— Cairo, Ill, to the mouth of

father of waters.

The district embraces the fertile area, comprising Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi, threatened by the flood crest still in the Ohio that devastated Louisville, Paducah, and scores of smaller Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana towns, and did great damage in Cincinnati— causing, in all, 378 deaths, a property loss in the hundreds of mil-

Members of President Roosevelt's Flood Commission, after a quick survey of conditions here, said they were optimistic that loss of life and property could be held to the minimum. The crest was due to strike the already swollen Mississippi at Cairo Wednesday, and there still was a question whether the billion-dollar levee system of the great river could withstand it. Still in its path in the Ohio Valley was the city of Paducah, already submerged by the flood waters that preceded it, where 19 had died and which had been evacuated, and Cairo, trembling behind its reinforced and height(Turn to Page Four)
