35 Dies and 12,000 Homes Are Flooded; 12 Inches of , Rain Falls in 96 Hours.

TOKYO, July 22 (U. P).— Typhoon rain and winds that inundated thousands .of homes brought a slowly mounting casualty list tonight as the storm swerved and passed southeast of here.

First reports said the storm, preceded by 10 days of torrential rain, had taken 35 lives in the Tokyo area, where 12,000 homes were flooded. Newspaper reports from Shizuoka Prefecture, which took the brunt, said nearly 26,000 homes wexe inundated there with a loss of at least 34 lives. : The typhoon had been headed directly for Tokyo, when it swerved and lashed Shizuoka instead. Already 12 inches of rain have fallen here and 27 inches has poured down on Oshima Island, 60 miles southwest, in the past 96 hours.

tion that the Nazi danger today is Acting Secretary of State Sumner was the spot. This followed even more definite statements by military men. = According to Mr. Welles, this Government has information that Hitler is planning to extend his sway over remaining independent European countries after his Russian ‘attack. Mr. Welles then challenged the statement of Spanish Dictator Francisco Franco that the United States is trying to trade economic .relief for Spanish support of Britain. Official revival here of stories that Germany will invade Spain coincides with minority demands in London for Britain to attack Nazioccupied Europe through Spain, thus opening a western front while Hitler is busy in Russia.

There has been no indication that the Churchill Government favors such a plan. On the contrary, Spain is the only country in which London continues the old appeasement policy—through Ambassador Sir Samuel Hoare. This past appeasement .is “justifled” on the ground that it has kept Franco from formally joining the Axis war, and thereby has saved Gibraltar from land attack. But British critics of this policy argue

that Hitler is already master of the

quest to Congress to keep selectees in the Army indefinitely. Although the President himself did not go beyond the generaliza-

facts after thd Park Department investigation. S Leon Ungericht had left home about 2:30 p. m. yesterday with his 10-year-old cousin, Barbara Ungericht, who is visiting from Greenville, O.,, and Robert Beach, a playmate. The youngsters played about the

‘than. an hour, taking care to stay out of the deep water since Leon could not swim. Then Barbara and Robert missed Leon. They looked everywhere for him and as the 4 p. m. rest period at the pool approached, they decided Leon had gone home. When Barbara arrived at the Ungericht home, Mrs. Ungericht, worried, immediately went to the pool. She asked several guards whether they had seen Leon's clothes, but no clothes were found.

Police Search Park

Returning home, she told Mr. Ungericht who immediately went to the pool. There he searched for nearly an hour. ‘Meanwhile, Mrs. Ungericht called the police, who made a search of the park. Under the direction of Walter J. Dean, assistant supervisor of City pools, the four lifeguards began a systematic search for “the boy in the red trunks.” William Hessler of 19 N. Gladstone Ave. was in charge of the guards. Other guards were Roger Downs, 19, of 5789 Central Ave.; Mr. Anania, and Harriet Shelhorn, 21, of 1031 E. 54th St.

Pool Is “Dragged”

Together, the guards “dragged” the pool by swimming under water its entire length, but found nothing. The water was cloudy due to a faulty intake filter and fresh water was pouring in at the time, stirring

How Leon's ‘body got into nine feet of water no one seemed able to explain. County Coroner Roy B. Storms theorized that the boy might have drowned in the shallow end of the pool and that the body might have been washed to the deep end. Police found the boy’s shoes near the shallow end, it was reported. The Coroner said that the cause of death was so obvious that no post mortem was needed. From 3 p. m. to 4 p. m.,, about 200 bathers were using the pool, a “fair” crowd, according to Mr. Middlesworth. : During swimming hours, four guards are on duty at all times, the Recreation Director said. Two are stationed at the deep end, one on each side, and two at the shallow end.

Paid $70 a Month

With the exception of Mr. Downs, all the guards had previous lifeguard experience, Mr. Middlesworth said. Mr. Hessler is serving his third year as a guard, Miss Shelhorn her second. Mr. Anania has had experience at other pools, according to the director. Lifeguards receive a monthly salary of $70 and are among the better paid recreation personnel. They are required to pass American Red Cross examinations under the supervision of Red Cross examiners, but appointments at City Hall are not made on a strictly merit basis. In the past, lifeguard and wading pool appointments have been made politically and no attempt has been made to place the guards under the merit system which now covers playground employees. Funeral services for the Ungericht boy will be held at 10 a. m. Thursday in the Moore & Kirk Irvington Mortuary, 5342 E. Washington St. He will be buried at Madison. Services. for William Dewey will be held at 3 p. m. tomorrow in the Moore & Kirk Colonial Mortuary, 3447 College Ave. with burial in Crown Hill. \

KEEP DRAFTEES, BE FAIR, SAYS WARNER

Times Special EUGENE,. Ore., July 22. —Keeping selectees in gervice under “fair and feasible regulation” was recommended to the Senate Military Affairs Committee by National Commander Milo J. Warner of the American Legion. Mr. Warner, here for the Oregon Department Legion convention, sent his message to Senator Robert Reynolds, committee chairman. “In view of the present emergency,” Mr. Warner said, “we can-

services under fair and feasiple regulations. “We also consider this is the time to enact into law a permanent system of universal military training.”

hands. The Canaries, off Africa, are Spanish and the Azores and Cape Verde Islands are Portuguese. They presumably would be occupied by American troops if Germany invaded either country.

Fear for Latin America

Mr. Roosevelt’s' message to Congress urging removal of the 900,000 limit’ on the number of selectees in service at one time and his request for authority to keep all classes of short-term soldiers under arms interested Washington most because of its emphatic insistence upon the immediacy of Germany's threat to South Amer-

ica. . He did not ask repeal of the prohibition against sending selectees and guardsmen outside the Western Hemisphere. ' There is every indication of misgiving here regarding German intentions and potentialities in South America, Mr. Roosevelt was - not overstating Administration alarm when he said that “the United States and the rest of the Americas are definitely imperiled in their national interests.”

Point to Bolivia

Active here is speculation whether a Nazi- putsch conducted by Germans already in South America against one of those governments, but without more than moral support from Germany would be an “attack from without.” The weekend revealed a putsch-that-failed in Bolivia, source of much of our tin.

Far East. That wquld give the world five counting China, Western Europe, The reports indicate that in either of two directions, or both. Shanghai reports heavy Japanese troop movements in North China, toward the Siberian frontier. London reports receipts of information that Japan is preparing to enter French Indo-China within a few days. . The chief development to lend credence to a move south is the campaign by the Japanese press, charging a Free French plot to seize control in Indo-China. The de Gaullist movement, according to the official agency, has the support of Britain and China’s Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek is massing troops for an invasion of Indo-China to aid the Free French. By these allegations, Japan might be setting up the pretext for an invasion, in line with the familiar technique used elsewhere in the world when wars are about to start. If Japan is preparing for some action—and the new Government of Prince Konoye has signified its intention of adopting a more vigorous and realistic foreign policy—foreign sources look for it to come first in Indo-China, rather than in Siberia. The northern troop movements, they believe, may be precautionary, looking to future action when and if Germany crushes Russia. It is noteworthy that the new Japanese Foreign Minister has just reaffirmed to the German and Italian Ambassadors Japan’s adherence to the “spirit and aim” of her Axis alliance. It seems probable that a Japanese attack on Indo-China would: be more feasible at ‘this juncture. IndoChina is weakly defended. Moreover, a strong motive exists in that it would bring Japan a stage nearer to the riches of the Dutch East ndies. On the other hand, Eastern Siberia would be a tougher nut for Japan to crack, at least at present. Japan normally has in Manchukuo not more than 75,000 men in all. This army probably has been reinforced in recent months, and might outnumber the Russians. The Russian Far Eastern Army is regarded as about the most efficient in the Soviet Union. About a year ago it numbered 300,000 men, may

FINED $76,500 FOR MAGNESITE CONTROL

* NEW YORK, July 22 (U, P).— Four companies and seven individuals accused of causing a shortage of fire-brick needed for the smelting of defense metals threw them-

selves on the mercy of Federal Court today and were fined a total of $76,500. Samuel S. Isseks, special assistant to the Attorney General, who prosecuted the case, said the importance of the Government victory could not be overemphasized. The indictment asserted that the defendants had divided up the world trade in magnesite, a substance principally used on the bottoms and sides of furnaces and converters to permit smelting of iron, steel and copper at extremely high temperatures.

Chicago, the archi= tectural contract to Giffels & Valet, Detroit, and the engineering cone tract to Charles W. Cole, South Bend. This brings total cost of the plant, which will be used in loading fixed rounds, detonators and pris mers, to an estimated $15,267,947.
