 Some Applause

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-For 10 minutes yesterday, the House lis toned in silence while Representa- tive John c. Box, of Texas, Demo crat whip, expressed his views on the recent campaign.

 The Texan started out by read ing an article from the Minneapo- lis Journal which said that John J.

LOCALITY not

NAMING CABINET
Hoover Fails To Show
Any Attempt At Playing
UC TIC South.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

NCHlI6u 6EeSS Quail COIEeSpOuoeHLJ
WASHINGTON, March l.-Prcs-
ident-clect Hoover has found no
place in the cabinet for the south,
it appeared today, despite insistcnt
pleas from close advisers that he
include southcrncr IN his official
family.
None Of the eieht cahinct mem
bers whose identity has become
known is from the south, and it was
indicated today in we'll informed
quarters that neither of the " sur
prises . promised by Mr.. Hoover 5
associates for the commerce and ag-
sieulture posts will be a southerner.
Recognition Of the south was gen
orally expected because of the con
tribution that once solidly Demo
cratic section made to Mr.. Hoover's
election. He carried four states
from which to pick, Virginia, North
Carolina, Florida and Texas.
In passing by the south, the Pres
idcnt-elect has disrcgardcd the ad-
vice of associates who know the feel
ing of that section and had first
hand contact with it as campaigncrs
last autumn.
The President-clect is warmly ap-
preciativc Of the aid Of the south
rendered in his election, and has
taken many occasions to express this
appreciation.
Mr.. Hoover, however, had made
it plain he did not consider geo
graphical lines in selection of his
cabinet, but that his effort was to
find 10 able men who would coopc-
rate with him in carrying out his
policies, wherever they might live.
With his cabinet completed and his
inaugural address in the hands of
the printers, the Presidcnt-elect cur
tailed his schedule today in order to
rest for the next three days from
what has proved the biggest Job he
ever had-pic6ing his cabinet of 10
men.

SWirIing waters Of Il score or more
Of rivers and smaller streams flood
cd parts Of the south and midwest
today and with the former section
suffering great damage. The mid
west situation is becoming less acute.
Raging torrents poured through
parts Of the south as streams, swol-

their banks and inundated thousands
of acres OF farm land.
The death toll was placed at nine

Georgia suffered the greatest
damage. Milledgevillc and Augusta

Oconec and Okmulgec rivers are out
! Of their banks, cutting off railway
and highway traffic. A hurried call
was sent out 70 rvoluntecrs to aid

In Ohio, danger threatened from
the Ohio, Maumee, Scioto and Tus-
carawas rivers, although it is hoped
the waters will recede before much
damage is done. Total destruction
/ to date amounted to over $2,000,000.
Missouri and Illinois reported
prospects for alleViation of the sit
( uation, although waters of streams
in those states still are at the dan
