In a. proclamation today calling
upon the Nation to observe Flag Day.

The Presidents flag day procla-
nation follows:
my fellow-Americans:
Flag day, on June Ia, will mark the
150th anniversary of the adoption by
Congress of the Stars and Stripes as
the emblem of our Nation. 1t is fit
ting that we should recall all that our
flag means, what 1t represents to our
citizens and to the nations of the
earth. There could be no more appro-
pirate time to give thanks for the
blessings that have descended upon
our people in this century and half
and to rededicate ourselves to the
high principles for which our ensign
stands. Liberty and union, freedom
of thought and speech under the rule
of reason and righteousness, as ex-
pressed in our Constitution and laws;
the protection of life and property; the
continuation of justice in our domes.

among the high ideals which our flag
Is the visible symbol. 1t will be futile

which it represents.
ITO the end that we may direct our
attention to these things. / suggest
that Flag day be observed by the dis
play Of the Stars and Stripes In public
places and upon public and private
buildings and by patriotic exercises in

AMUNDSEN TO
TALK TONIGHT
AT AUDITORIUM
Splendid Speaker Says Gov.
SOrlie-Liessman Recalls
Previous Meeting

Roald Amundscn, famed explorer
who is to speak tonight at the city
auditorium, is splendid speaker"
and should be heard by everyone,
Governor A. G. Sorlic said today.
Governor Sorlie introduced AM
undsen when he spoke ut Grand
Forks short while ago and declares
that his lecture was Fascinating. !"
Inasmuch as this is Amundsen's last
lecture tour, he urges everyone to
attend it, the executive said.
To Tell of Polar Trip
Amundsen is to tell of his famous
trip by dirigible from Rome to
Teller, Alaska, over the North Pole.
Taking off the morning of May II,
1925, from Kings Bay, Spitzbergen,
what they had to face, for they had
risked their lives the previous June
in an airplane attempt to reach the
North Pole.
The visit of Captain Amundsen
here recalled to Charles Liessman,
deputy secretary of state. the re-
IuIu W CIVuAAdtlOu VI tue uOtSu cX-
plorer from zone of his first great
exploits. It was the discovery by
Amundsen Of the Northwest passage.
During that trip Amundsen was out
Of touch with the world for three
years, Liessman said.
Has Pictures of Ship
Liessman, then with the United
States navy, officially received Am
undsen upon his arrival at Oakland,
Calf, and today dug. up several pic
lures of the tiny ship in which AM
undsen made his famous voyage %
years ago.
The ship, the Gjoa, was the object
of so many people seeking curios
that it had to be towed to the
United States navy yard where it was
protected from depredations by the
public, Liessman said.
Captain Amundsen spoke to public
school pupils this afternoon at the
auditorium and will speak again this
evening, showing motion pictures of
his trim.

New Orleans, May ll.---iP,--Lcvees
at Bayou des CLASSES, about 170 miles
above New Orleans, were expected to
collapse at any time today, allowing
a rush of muddy water across the
Sugar Bowl" Of Louisiana. where
most Of the domestic cane is grown.
Word from that section to Adjutant
General l.. A. Tombs at Baton Rouge
said the levee appeared ready tn
collapse.
The fight had not been given up.
however, and ut Big Bend, where
heroic efforts Of citizens have been
concentrated to bolster the weaken
ing rampant, work continued.
Should the crevasse occur today it
was believed that much Of the strain
on the levees along the Mississippi
would be relieved, minimizing the
danger of an additional break along
that line. A collapse at Bayou des
CLASSES would. however, inundatc
thousands of acres Of the most fer
tile soil in the state. flooding many
sugar houses and driving additional
thousands from their homes to refu-
gee camps. A rescue fleet has been
mobilizcd in the danger zone and
prospects Of loss of life have been
reduced.
Vidalia Is Under Water
Nidalia. La, remained inundated
by waters from crevasse in the pro-
lection levce that held backwaters
from the four crevasses in lower
Concordia parish. Precautions had
been taken ut Vidalia and loss Of
property will not be great. Many
citizens moved their household goods
to high ground more than two weeks
ago, when the levecs along the river
front semed in danger Of collapsing.
A $l,OO0,OO0 finance corporation
for rehabilitation Of farmers in the
flooded delta Of Mississippi was
formed at jackson, Miss, yesterday
and began functionng today. More
than $3.50 900 in stock Of the ccrpor-
alton was subscribed yesterday and
the remainder was expected to be
subscribed in a few days.
Similar corporations are to be
formed in Arkansas and Louisiana.

COOLIDGE IS
CRITICIZED BY
SENATOR REED
Missouri Democrat Aroused
By Presidents Refusal to
Call Special Session

Kansas City, May ll.-(HD-rScnator
James A. Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
criticized President Coolidge here
last night for his refusal to call a
snccial session Of congress to pro
vide relief for Mississippi flood
refugees. He declared II senators
had approved his suggestion for the
session.
Denying the presidents contention
that the government is doing all 1T
can, Reed pointed to the 100000 900
given European sufferers "A few years
ago by the United States AS one 'rea
son for quick government action.
THAT appropriation was justified -
Senator Reed said, "but it is hard to
understand why we cannot provide
for our own kith and kin who are
suffering from disaster.
"The presidents secretary contends
that nothing is being left undone
that can be done He is wrong. Con-
gress can be assembled and money
can be appropriated SO that the
starving, suffering people can be re-
iieved and enidemics ran be pre-
vented or minimized. The only i'm
possibility seems to be to move the
president to action.
"About all the government can do
now is to furnish tents and boats.
People can't eat tents or boats. 1t is
true. as the secretary says, that the
president has two Of his secretaries
on the ground. But to a hungry or
drowning man. the presence Of sec
retary is but small consolation

Secretary Work, Chairman of
Oil Board, Answers That
Government Is Ready to
Assist in Any Proper Man
ner-RestrictiOn Plan to
Guard Against Over Pro-
ductiOn Suggested

Washington, May ll.--(P)- Some
of the leading oil producers have ap-
pealed' to the federal government for
help in restricting oil production,
and the federal oil board has re-
piled that the government is ready
to assist in any proper manner.
The appeal, which embodies a re-
striction plan to. guardsagainst over
production, was addressed to Secre-
tary Work, chairman Of the oil
board, and was signed by Walter c.
Teagle, president Of the Standard Oil
company Of New Jersey, and w. S.
Parish, former president of the
American Petroleum institute.
1t declared that over production
had "rccurred this year in form so
malignant as to seem to be without
precedent" A cooperative method Of
control, worked out through joint
purchase of certain producing lands,
was proposed as a solution.
"The present plight of the industry
is recognized by this board" said
Secretary Work today, "and ! feel
that the leaders of the oil world
realize that the government is ready
and willing to assist in every proper
manner to meet the crisis. There
are certain federal statutes which, of
course. govern, as well as the police
laws of the several states and other
local acts and regulations which can
not with impunity be brushed aside,
even in an emergency. But the fed
eral oil board will be glad to counsel
and advise with the industry and to
do everything within reason and the
scope of the law to assist"

While the north Atlantic was be-
ing searched for the missing air
men, sponsors of the Columbia seal
ed the planes instruments and
awaited only favorable weather be-
fore starting $500 mile flight, the
reverse Of that on which Nungesser
and Coli failed.
As JOY in France over incorrect
news that the war heroes had sue
ceeded turned into resentment
against the United States, Ambassa-
dor Herrick notified the state de-
partment that the start of any plane
from America for Paris might be
misunderstood and misinterpreted."
Start Delayed
Then Charles A. Levine. head of
the Columbia Aircraft corporation,
owner of the Bellanca plane, said
that the start. which had been set
for Thursday, would be deferred to
Saturday. Nungesser's fate undoubt-
edly would be known by then, he
added.
''The finest tribute we could pay
these brave men is to take up the
attempt where circumstances COM
PEELED them to lay it down." Mr.
Levine said.
Lloyd Bertaud, navigator of the
Columbia, said: I'VE won't go to
Paris if they don't want us. Well
fly over and around the Eiffel
tower, touch our wheels at Lebour-
get and then go to London and land
at Gotham Field.

FORMER CHIEF
Is DEAD FROM
BAD BEATING
Cicero Man Attacked BY
Gang While Riding in Auto
-Assailants Sought

Chicago. May 11.--(P)--A myster-
ious beating which was dealt April %
to Alberth W. valecka, former police
chief at Cicero, suburb, caused his
death last night
Valecka was taken to hospital
four days ago by Grace Woodrich who
said she was to have been married to
him May 5. Her story was that three
men, jumped on the running hoard
of an automobile in which she and
Valecka were returning from a wake
the night of April %, beat him and
then fled.
Valecka was chief of police Of
Cicero up to 1920 during a period be-
fore the suburb gained notoriety be-
cause of the activity there of beer
barons and gamblers.
A woman, whose name was with
held, was arrested early today. Sew
eral men are sought. Cicero police
believe the fatal beating was due
either to an old grudge dating back
to valecka's days as police chief, or
to jealousy of a rival for Miss Wood
rich's affections. They discounted a
theory of gangland vengeance.
