HEAVY LOSS OF
LIFE FEARED IN
STORM ON LAKES

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-W.H-- The
middle west shivered in sub freezing
weather today while the Great Lakes
still bucked angrily under the goad
of lashing gales.
Northwest winds forced temper
atures to record low levels for late
October over the broad sweep of
prairie and lake states which yester-
day and Tuesday night were caught
in the first onslaught of winters
sleet, snow and chill, rain-laden
winds.
Many lives were in peril in ships
on the lakes and it was feared the

BILLINGS, Mont, Oct. q. U.H)-
There was sorrow in the modest
home of Urban F. Diteman Jr., here
today but courageous wife and
mother was hiding it.
Mrs. Diteman, wife of the plains
man-aviator who set out unheralded
Tuesday from Harbor Grace, n. F.,
in tiny monoplane in an attempt
to conquer the Atlantic, attempted
to be brave.
Il am still confident he is alive"
she said today. Her voice was husky
from continual conversation with
friends who have surrounded her
for the last three days, concurring
in her belief her husband is safe.
While the rest of the world has
virtually accepted reports that the
Montana cattleman had met the
same fate of other dauntless flyers
"a fate shrouded in the depths of
the Atlantic-iMrs. Diteman retain
ed faith in her husbands ability to
defy the treacherous ocean waters,
despite the fact his flying experien-
ce had been confined to less than
100 hours.
For brief period the Diteman
home was scene of triumph.
Hides Secret
Friends had told Mrs. Diteman
of a radio report that her husband
had landed safely in Europe. But
then came news the report was un-
founded.
The motive for the trans Atlantic
attempt in plane said by the man
ufacturers to be totally unfit for
such a flight, was still unknown
Mrs. Diteman remained firm in her
decision not to disclose her hus-
band S secret, which she alone
shares.
"I'll tell you anything but that,'
she declared. "Urban made me
promise to say nothing and you can
depend on it I'll not break it,.
Friends said Diteman intended to
engage in air transportation on a
large scale, and that his hazardous
attempt was probably due to his de-
sire to gain fame for his contempla,
ted venture.

HOOVER OUTLINES
GIGANTIC PLANS
FOR WATERWAYS
Returning To Capital Af-
ter Swing Into Central
Western States.
By LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

ABOARD HOOVER SPECIAL,
Oct. "a. -Fat.gued by his most
arduous trip since the national cam
paign last year, President Hoover
devoted himself to rest aboard his
special train toda> as he sped to the
capital to resume the ordered rou-
tine OF the White House.
The chief executives four day
swing through the east central states
has given the nation a new l,0O0,-
600 program for development Of in
land waterways, outlined last night
in an address in War Memorial au-
ditorium, Louisville.
Declaring his determination to
pursue these works with resolution
"and to see them completed with all
the expedition which sound engi.
necring will permit" the President
outlined the most extensive engi-
neering project ever contemplated
by the federal government.
1t calls for completion of the re-
naming 5000 miles in the Missis
sippi system within the next five
years, beginning as early as posi-
bic on the Great Lakcs-St. Lawrence
seaway, fiXation of the controvcrtcd
lake levers and the opening of APP
rroximately 1000 miles of coastal
canals.
"To carry forward all these great
works." the President said, 'is not
a dream of visionarics-it is the
march of the nation"
Hoover expressed the hope that
the additional funds necessary for
the gigantic program might come
from savings in raval armaments
"This administration will insist
upon building these waterways as
he would any other transportation
system-that is, by extending its
ramifieations solidly outward from
the main trunk lines. Substantial
traffic or public service cannot be
developed upon patchwork of local
improvements and intermediate seq
gents"

 The story deals with a young so- ciety woman who is to wed a rich young man.

When it is too late she realizes that she has been trapped and the subsequent scenes are said to be intensely dramatic.
