Mrs. A. M. Rumsey, postmistress, at

past ten days ranchers living in the
shadow OF the st. Francis dam had
talked of nothing else" but reported
leaks in the structure and the pos
sibility OF the very disaster that
wrecked their homes and wiped out
their families today,
AS the list OF recovered bodies
grew tonight until it reached a total
of 274, with upwards OF go more
reported missing, Mrs. Rumsey said
that RANGERS in San Francisquito

would be the end of them if the

CONSERVATIVES
BLOCK ELECTION
IN HOUSE

MANAGUA, March 13 (P1 The
Nicaraguan house late today defeated
the Mccoy bill providing for Ameri-
can supervision at the october presi-
Dental elections. The vote on the
measure was % against and 16 in
favor of it's passage.
When consulted following the vote
in the house on the measure, General
Mccoy said he had made no plans
for the future as yet, and would not
make any formal statement until he
had consulted tomorrow with Presi-
dent .Diaz with regard to carrying
out the provisions of the Stimson
agreement.
The defeat of the Mccoy bill has
come as distinct surprise here, eS-
pecially since only earlier today there
had been a statement from President
Diaz assuring that it would be pass
ed.
Analysis of the voting afterwards
tonight showed that while the lib
erals voted solidly for its passage,
some of the conservatives who had
promised their support changed their
minds before voting.

southern California cities great crops

Loaded with great quantities of sur

they have established hospital where
all of the survivors are given treat

lished a commissary where those who
have survived the flood, only to find
that their homes and belongings all

BRAND STRIKES

WASHINGTON March 13 (R-The
presidential primary fight among Ohio
republicans was carried today to the
floor of the house. One representative
from the Buckeye state unleaShed q
bitter attack on Secretary Hoover
another as vigorously defended him.
incidentally, Hoover's assailant
Brand lined up with the Willis For
President movement in Ohio, called for
the immediate resignation of the COM
merce secretary on the ground that he
is using public funds and official pow
er to further his candidacy.
In reply, that old Ohio warhorSe and
of national politicS-Burton, who once
sat, in the senate ~ summarized the
Brand argument as containing. *all
the material, s1anderouS or otherwise,
collected by shoppers who have scour-
ed the world to find something in the
record of Mr.. Hoover"
Brands attack had been carefully
worked up. Several days ago his pre-
pared address, except for last min
ute addition in which he demanded
Hoover's resignation, had been distri-
buted to newspapermen and close
friends.
Burton, in his prepared speech which
he kept in his pocket up to the last
minute so that no inkling of it's con-
tents would reach the Brand camp,
took up point by point the arguments
of his adversary.
The word had been broadcast that
there would be an airing of thel fac
tional strife in Ohio, centeripg on
Hoover's attempt to wrest part of the
states delegation to the republican
convention away from a "favorite son.
AS result the galleries were crowded
and most of the house members, sens
ing real battle, were on the floor.
Each speaker had 80 minutes, Burton
speaking last. Each stuck to his text,
Brand being interrupted once by Bur-
ton of Minnesota, Hoover follower,
who Was hoWled down because the
house wanted to hear the main de-
bate. Once Brand broke into Burtons
delivery, simply to ask the date of a
letter read by the veteran in which
Brand urged Hoovers selection as Sec

HOUSE MEMBERS
ATTACK
ON NAVAL BILL.
McC Clintic Favors Building
OF Submarines Rather
Than Cruisers

WASHINGTON March 10. R--Twc
futile attacks were launched today by
a handful of house members at the
100000 new warship construction
program upon its initial considera-
ton on the floor.
Even before a bill by Chairman
Butler of the naval committee, to pro-
vide for the proposed Is cruisers and
one aircraft carrier, formally had
been made the order of business,
Representative La Guardia, republi-
can, New York, had the floor pro-
testing against the procedure under
which it would be considered.
The New Yorker, who said he was
opposed to the program, contended
that there were two factions in the
opposition camp and that each OF
these should be allotted a definite
amount of time to present their argu-
ments.
The dispute developed when Chair
man Smell, of the committee contrOll-
ing legislative procedure, suggested
that the time for debate be controlled
by Chairman Butler, representing sup
porters of the program, and Repre-
sentative McClintic, democrat, Okla
homa, the sole members of the naval
committee protesting against its pro-
visions.
McClintic, who favors construction
of submarines rather than cruisers,
joined La Guardia in the unsuccess-
full attempt to have the New York
er control a part of the time. The
two lost, when the house voted, 321
to 13, to go ahead as Smell had sug-
gested A second unsuccessful effort
was made by La Guardia, on a parlia-
mentary maneuver TO prevent the
house from taking, up the pro@ram

bills are nocsidered he was turned
down this time, 112 to I5, a number
of members having left the floor after

Citrus groves, yesterday in bios

with mud and silt washed down
the valley when the giant dam

gallons of water out onto a
peaceful community in the dead
of night.
The dam, few hours ago
majestically holding back the five
miles of waters, looks, from the
air, like n child's plaything. Where
once stood the dam, proud in its

"One wall of the cabin was

Ben DOrnaIeche was in ranch

LONDON, March IA (P) - The
Press Association in a bulletin is
sued shortly after a. M, says
that there is every reason to be-.

night. The daring aviators were be-
lieved to ne somewhere over the ocean

Captain Walter Hinchliffe, veteran
British pilot, and a companion, hoped
at an early hour without a word of
warning in StinSon monoplane, leav-
ing message that they would try

has already cost the lives of seven

though the markings Were not de-

carry the adventures on their perilous
journey.
While there is some uncertainty at
tached to the identity of Captain
Hinchliffe'c partner because of the
unceremonious nature of the start, he
is thought to be Gordon Sinclair, a
skilled pilot and friend of Hinchliffe
with whom he has been recently as
sociated.
Some speculation was aroused by the
recent report that the Hon. Elsie
Mackay, noted sportswoman and
daughter of Lord Inchcape, proposed
to make the Amq qican flight with
Captain Hinchliffe and this was en-
livened because efforts to learn of her

Hinchliffe, who announced last week
that he intended to make long dis
