Gibson Tells Geneva Farley
Concession Is Made to.
Promote Harmony.
FRANCE AND JAPAN GIVE
ACTION WARM WELCOME
Spain Proposes Creation of Inter-
national Force of Peace
Aviators for League.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, April 26.-Two important
announcements were made at today's
session of the preparatory disarmament
commission. one being that the United
States was willing to withdraw its reser-
walton to the exclusion of trained re-
serves from any limitation of armies and
the second being a Spa nish proposal for
the creation of an international force
of peace aviators.
The American position on trained re-
serves hitherto had been that they
should be subjected to limitation Just as
standing armies should be. Hugh s.
Gibson, the American delegate to the
commission. today made 1t clear that
the United States still believed this.
but was willing to withdraw its reserva-
ton on the matter as gesture Of con-
ciliation.
France and Japan, both of which
countries are most affected. welcomed
Mr.. GibSon's announcement warmly ana
aid they were convinced 1t would hasten
an accord on reduction in ornaments.
Peace AviatOrs Proposed.
The Spanish suggestion for an inter-
force of peace aviators to be
stationed at Geneva and placed at the
disposition of the Council of the League
Of Nations was advanced by Senior Co
bian. who said that his suggestion was
based on the initiative of Clifford B:
Harmon president Of the international
League of Aviators, who recently pre-
sented such a plan to the conference. :.
President Loudon sent the proposal
TO the council of the League OF Nations,
holding that the commission had no
mandate to consider 1t.
During today's session the United
States joined Germany in contending
that the limitation Of military airplanes
should not BE based on the number OF
civil airplar1es which may be possessed
oy neighboring countries.
With Germany, like other countries,
her commercial aviation, this

President Waits
80 Years to Say
Il Told You So"
Bridge He Condemned
While Student at STAN
ford Finally Falls.
BY REX COLLIER.

An engineering Judgment rendered
by President Hoover while student at
Stamford University has been yindicated
At last. and AS a result he is going
around these days with broad smile
of satisfaction on his face.
Some 30 years ago young Bert Hoover
joined with his engineering classmates
in condemning a bridge erected over
San Francisquito Greek, at the edge of
the Stanford campus. Bert and his
colleagues. bursting with new-found
engineering wisdom, declared the bridge
to be structurally unsound and grave
menace to public safety.
Nobody paid much attention to the
findings of the college lads from the
new university at Palo Alto. What did
the bespectacled Quaker boy and his
associates know about engineering?
The bridge was new one and it was
going to stay there. 1t bridged the line
between Santa Clara and San Mateo
Counties, and neither county was in
clined to worry about the structure.
Convinced Bridge Would Fall.
But young Hoover knew his stresses
and strains. He had figured the
problem out from mathematical
standpoint and he was convinced that
the bridge over San Francisquito Greek
would fall in most any day. It Just

MISSISSIPPI HUR[S

Break Through Below Keo-

~ The Associsted Press,

By the Associated Press
QUINCY, H., April 26.-Hurling its
tremendous bulk southwark in the big
gest rise since 1851, the Mississippi to-
day was waging new assault that may
break through every levee for rs miles
below Keokuk, Iowa, leave 5000 people
homeless and cause damage that might
reach $4,000
Acting on the Government observers
prediction that the stage would reach
% feet at Quincy today and might go
to 224 feet, Sheriff Kenneth A. FL
more ordered officials Of the 14.000-acre
Lima Lake district. 10 miles north Of
here, TO have all families ready to move
promptly in case OF emergency. This
district was causing the greatest worry
today, with levees capable OF standing
only about six inches more rise. and with
a foot and one-half increase expected.
At least 1000 people live in this section.
The 400 people in the Gregory dis
trict, across the river from the Lima
Lake-Hunt section were also preparing
to evacuate almost any time. This
district consists OF about 5000 acres.
Huge District Menaeed.
Confidence that the huge Sni dis
trict of more than 10000 acres would
be safe is fading following reports Of

The Sni area was assumed TO have
a chance of remaining dry If leyees of
the northern districts break, thus re-
Iieving the pressure below. But there
was no guarantee with the chance. The
South Quincy levee broke Wednesday
after the river stage here had dropped

No one. as a matter of fact. seems
TO know which ieVees are most likely

as these dikes have a way Of breaking

TO do so.
Levees Are Uncertain.
1t is the condition OF the levecs which
causes the uncertainty Ever since last

The continued high water has soaked
the dikes clear through and left them
soft. Muskrats have bored holes and

matters still worse. Levee guards
standing on what they consider sound
places, do not know when the embank-
