.STI|NSON SHIF IS
COURT STAND

Hopes Of early action on the
Root protocol for American ad-
herence to the League Court
faded this afternoon when an
"interpretative" letter by Secre-
tary of State Stimson served
only to create fresh controversy
within the ranks of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
Stimson told the committee, in
effect, that the Root protocol
thoroughly protected the United
States against advisory opinions
from the court.
This was accepted by a major.
ity of the committee as a re-
versal of his previous view on the
subject, and one Senator asserted
his view "could not be reconciled
with the protocol itself"
Senators Borah (RO Of Idaho
chairman, leader of the Anti
Court group, and Walsh CD OF
Montana, leader of the Courts
friends, engaged in a heated de
bate during the session. Borah in
sisted the protocol did not protect
American interests, while Walsh
upheld Stimson's latest views.
The Stimson letter incidentally
divided the ranks of the Courts
advocates. While Walsh felt the
Secretary Of State had supported
his position that America could
enter on the Root terms, without
fear of advisory opinions, Sen
ators Robinson CD of Arkansas.
and Pittman CD of Nevada, did
not share this view.
Both have insisted that the old
fifth reservation be adopted again,
to prohibit the Court from accept
ing requests for advisory opinions
on subjects in which the United
States claims an interest.

PEORIA, Ill, March % QN.SO.
DR.. James w. Parker, aged ply

Police Chief Thomas McCann,
who predicted DR.. Parker's return,
declined to give the source of his
information. Neither he nor mem
bers of the Parker family would
admit ransom had been paid.
Although the physicians fam
lily and friends have been greatly
concerned, authorities have not
evidenced much alarm over the

DR.. Parker was seized by enemies,
but that he has not been slain.

JOBLESS RELIEF
BEFORE HOUSE

A $70O,OOO,OOO unemployment
relief program, including loans
to States and erection of public
buildings, was placed before the
Democratic leadership of the
House today.
Representative Connery CD of
Massachusetts,, chairman of the
Labor Committee, appeared be,
fore the Rules Committee, which
makes up the House calendar
asking for a special rule to con,
slider the bill.
The labor committee plan calls
for $500, 100000 in loans of vari
Gus classes to States and $500,
100000 to be spent in an emerg
ency public buildings program to
provide employment. Connery
testified:
"I do not believe that a
direct relief bill can pass Con-
gress at this session, although
the word dole doesn't frighten
me. There is starvation in this
country. People are dying by
the hundreds. They get pneu-
mOnia and other diseases and
they don't call it starvation,
but that is what it is"
The Labor Committee plan, hi
said. is patterned after the Hat
field bill in the Senate, which
was the only relief measure not
defeated in that body

workers strove to bring order
out of chaos, the toll of tor
nadoes that struck in five
Southern States mounted today
to 319 dead, 5000 injured and
10000 homeless.
Bitter March winds, whip
ping over desolate v village
razed by powerful twisters
Monday night and Tuesday,
hampered efforts of Red Cross
workers to provide shelter,
sufficient clothing and food
for the refugees.
Relief work was concentrated in
Alabama, where 262 persons died
in 10 demolished villages.
Governor Pleads for Aid
Governor B. M. Miller urged
Alabamans whose homes were not
ravaged by the storms to aid their
less fortunate neighbors by max
ing contributions of food and
clothing to Red Cross relief bases
for distribution among the
stricken.
Tornadoes left 36 persons dead
in Georgia, II in Tennessee, and
two each in Kentucky ana South
Carolina.
The list of the dead in Alabama
was expected to be raised with
the completion of rescue work in
Perry county, where 10 persons,
missing, feared dead.
While no definite check was
possible, it was believed almost
5000 persons were injured. Hun
dredS were in hospitals and relief
bases.
Militiamen Help
Many of the 10000 homeless
were being evacuated from rural
districts into towns and villages
where supplies were concentrated.
Three companies of National
GuardSmen at Northport aided
relief work in the section, where
20 persons were killed and hun
dreds injured.
Buildings of the University of
Alabama at Tuscaloosa, across
the Warrior River from North
port, were pressed into service
as hospitals.
The death toll mounted rap
idly as many injured Succumbed
to injuries.
In the centers of suffering cre-
ated by the catastrophe all per-
manent and temporary hospitals
were jammed with the injured.
Doctors and nurses continued
their work Of saving lives and
easing pain.
Some towns, virtually obliter.
ated by the cyclones, were pa
trolled by companies of the Ma
tional Guard to maintain order
and prevent looting.
Rescue workers were speeding
to Birmingham today from the
national Red Cross headquarters
in washington. Tornado relief
headquarters were established in
the city by the Red Cross, with
