CENTRAL AMERICA
UNION DECLARED
ONLY PEACE HOPE
NiCaraguan in Washington
Seeking Aid of Congress
for Plan.
by William Philip Simns.
Times staff COrreSDOndcnt

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The es-
tablishment Of a United States of
Central America is the only hope Of
permanent peace and stability in
that part Of the world, according to
Col. Miguel F.. Sequeira Of Granada.
Nicaragua. now endeavoring to Sc
-cure congressional Endorsement here.
Il do not expect to see such a
union made effective in a month or
a year" the colonel said. but 1 be-
lieve 1t certainty within the next
five or six years.
THE first step would be to estab-
lish a Central American court Of
arbitration in Washington. to which
Guatemala. Honduras. Salvador,
Nicaragua and Costa Rica would APP
point delegates. This court would
be a permanent agency for reconcil-
ing their controversies. Washington
would not intervene in any way in
the internal affairs of the Central
American countries.
Il hope to secure congressional
action on a resolution approving i'm
principle the arbitration court plan
also indorsing the union. After
which l will return to Central Amerir
ca 10 work out the rest Of the plan.
There is a unionist party in
each of the five republics. The
movement is especially strong In
Guatemala and Salvador. III the
United States l have found much
sympathy for the union, particular
" I'm the Middle West and Missis-
sippi valley. from which sections con-
siderable grain and manufactured
articles find their way to Central
America They know a strong. pro
gressive State down there would
mean more business.
There are some difficulties to be
overcome. l know. The location of
the capital of the union is one of
them. I think this should be in
Nicaragua. This l say not because
l am a Nicaraguan, but because
some day a new transoceanic canal
will be dug across the isthmus. and
that canal will cross Nicaragua.
Nicaragua will then become another
crossroads of the world and a great
shipping and trade center"

IS DIE IN FLOODS
OF SOUTH; SCANT
RELIEF INDICATED
Thousands Homeless and
Property Loss in Millions
of Dollars.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec 20. -.
Little relief was in sight today from
the floods that have claimed thirteen
lives, driven thousands from their
homes and destroyed property valued
at millions in the South.
While municipal officials, the Red
Cross and American Legion volun-
teers cared for homeless and desti-
tute families in the stricken areas,
warnings of continued flood condi-
tons were issued from the weather
bureau.
Freezing weather that will slow
up the discharge of waters from the
hills into the Cumberland Valley
was said to be the main hope of
checking the rise quickly.
While the heaviest property dam
age was believed to have been suf
fered at Nashville, where crops, mer-
chandise and household goods val
ued at millions have been destroyed,
the greatest death toll is believed to
have ben taken in Arkansas. Six per-
sons are reported TO have been
drowned in Arkansas, five in Mis-
sissippi and two in Tennessee.
Most of the deaths have been
caused by motor cars skidding on
water-swept roads or being carried
away by the force of the floods.
Three of the victims were said to
have drowned when skiffs capsized
while they were attempting to es.
cape from the flood.
The number of homeless has been
roughly estimated at 10000, although
there are no definite figures avail
able
Many rural communities have not
been heard from since the rising wa
tiers cut off communication. 1t is
feared that. their reports will in
crease the death list.

acquaintanceship with politicians
and members of the Legislature. Nc

They are j. Glenn Harris, Gary, a

of the Ninth district.

ers have heard rumblings regarding
dire things that may happen to them
and their powers at the coming SEES
sion of the Legislature. When such
a storm arises there is nothing like
q good friend in that great DELHI
erative body. Harris has been in
politics long enough to realize
upon" the value of friendship.
At any rate, the Mccain appoint
ment has his backing and approval
