of the most intense election cam
raigns in it's history, Sonora, Mexico,
is entering into the final week of the
gubernatorial and legislative contest
with indications that disturbances on

of President Gales. Both candidates
have predicted victory by large ma

Federal soldiers numbering more
than $4,000 now in service in Sonora

because Senator James A. Reed, chief
of Ford counsel; suffered an attack of
indigestion.
The senator himself belittled his
complaint, but remained abed all day

Raymond Watson, Kansas City at

in the case, said he was not certain
whether cross examination of Sapiro
could be continued tomorrow Sena-
tor Reed was stricken as he returned
to Detroit after spending the three
days Easter recess of the trial in
Washington. Sapiro and his brother,
Milton, hurried back from Chicago
today, the plaintiff expecting to face

not require assistance in getting from
the train to his hotel, but immedi
ately was given medical attention.
With the trial entering it's sixth

first beause of illness, despite the
large number of persons whose daily

of the Roman Catholic church with the

that Governor Smith would have moth

Marshall, a lawyer and Episcopalian,
focused his reply to Governor Smith,
a Catholic considered likely presiden-

One of these points was the hope that
Governor Smiths disclaimer" of an
adherence to church dogma stronger
than allegiance to state principles
marked the beginning of a change"
that would bring the policy of the
Catholic church into accord with the
modern state"
The other was a text book used in

The OminOuS rise of the Mis-

tonight in steadily increasing
threat to the great delta valley

the relentless overflow which al

havoc in parts of seven states.
With at least a dozen persons
believed dead, thousands homeless

all along the stream.
Hourly reports told of man-made
barriers breaking under the pressure
of the boiling current, sending swirl
ing overflows into thousands of acres
of bottom lands while relieving the
strain at other points.
AS volunteer and conscript work ed
side by SIDE to stave off the mighty
tides, national guardsmen and private
watchmen patrolled the levees in many
localities to prevent sabotage by resi-
dents seeking to protect their sides
of the streams at the expense of 9TH

Summed up tonight, developments
during the past "a hours showed the
flood situation as follows: Levees
broken at a score or more points
along the White, Arkansas and St
Francis rivers in Arkansas, where
greatest distress and most extensive
ruin is noted. Fort Smith water sup
ply cut off and shortage feared. Hun
dreds of homes entered by flood

Many have taken refuge on the
levee tops, the only dry spot in sight
