KENTUCKY FLOODS
IMPERIL HUNDREDS
Disease and Privation Follow
High Water, With z Dead,
5000 Homeless.
nv the Associated Press.

LOUISVILLE, KY, January go
Twin specters Of disease and privation
hovered over the desolate flood stricken
areas Of Central and Eastern Kentucky
tonight as swollen streams surged over
vast stretches of loWland, leaving dev-
astation and suffering in their paths.
Roughly, the toll stood at two dead,
at least 5000 homeless, and property
damage that will run into thousands
of dollars. Turgid water covered parts
of highways; backwaters washed away
sections of railway tracks, and traffic
in many places was Tirtually at
standstill.
Nearly every county south and east
OF an imaginary line drawn from just
south of Ashland on the West Virginia
border, through Lexington In the Blue
Grass. and southwestward through
Bowling Green to Franklin on the
Tennessee border was affected by the
high water.
Thousands Of Acres Flooded.
Thousands of acres of land were over
flowed as brooks and rivers, gorged by
rainfall that at some places registered
q inches in a 24-hOur period, reached
food marks. While most of the smaller
streams were reported falling, rivers
we're steadily rising throughout the
State.
DR.. A. T. Mccormack, State health
officer. instructed county health officers
in the flood zone to take every means to
avert epidemiCS From many of the
stricken sections came requests or hypo-
ChlOrite of lime to purify polluted water.
The suffering Of the homeless and
the marooned was heightened today by
freezing temperatures settling over the
food sector bringing the first real cold
weather of the Winter. The cold how
ever. brought a cessation of rain over
the entire area.
The vortex Of the food. which soon
subsidized, embraced the Counties OF
Harlan, Bell and Knox in the South
eastern extremity of the State, where
the Cumberland and its tributaries
rushing down narrow valleys, rendered
several hundred homeless. At Pine
Vile. county seat of Bell the Cumber-
land rose 20 feet in IA hours and then
continued to rise at about inches an
hour
$50 Families Returning.
In Harlan County it was estimated
$50 families moved out last night, but
we're returning today. The settlements
known as Sunshine and Georgetown
were the most affected and the Red
Cross and the Harlan Relief Commit
tee gave aid to the needy. Harlan, the
county seat, is at the convergence OF
three forks of the Cumberland River
and a fourth fork emptieS into it half
a mile below the town. Bus service on
the lines from Harlan to Pinev1lle,
Middleboro and Barvourville still was
halted tonight by overfowed roadways.
Firemen and volunteers last night
rescued about 300 persons from high
waters.

president of Georgetown University and
regent of the School of Foreign Serv-
ice, last night announced the program
of his 1882 series of public lectures on

cations resulting from the conceptions
Of George Washington and those Of
NicOlai Lenin.

Soviet government. His forthcoming
series Of lectures is in line with a num-
Der Of courses inaugurated at George
town University this year in connection
with the Bicentennial.
Historical Experience.
Dr. Walsh said: THE principles
which underlie the American system of
government the political traditions,
habits of mind and institutions which
have resulted therefrom may with
profit be re-eXamined and analyzed in
the light of the historical experience of
the century and half that has elapsed
since Washington and his colleagues
laid the foundations of our national ex-
iStenCe
Another power has since arisen in
Eastern Europe which, in its constitu-
ton and by its foreign policy, Is dedi-
Gated to the proposition publicly pro-
claimed that governments such as that
established by Washington and his COL
laboratOrS are a menace to humanity
and should be liquidated by force
Mentioning specifically the United
States of America, responsible officials
of the Soviet government. have decreed
that Communism must replace democ-
racy in this land and have instructed
their agents to profit by the present
grave crisis in our domestic affairs to
hasten the disintegration of the
Union.
Two evenings during the course
March 18 and April l, will be devoted
to description of travels recently made
by DR.. Walsh in Syria, Mesopotamia
and Kurdistan.

subject March 4, followed, March II, by
a discussion of the Russian Solution I"

posing theories Of government and civil
ization in the lectures on April Is and
April %.

considered in Capitalism at the Cross

incorporated on January IL last by a
group of leading local educators and
animated with the American Academy

sentlal objective of the new academy is
70 provide forum where the scientific
study OF economic processes, problems
ana policies which arise from or affect
world conditions may be developed and
may bear fruit. Publications of the

contemplation as one phase of its work,
Statement Shows Purposes.
In statement explaining its aims
and purposes, the academy calls atten-
tlon 10 the fact that new science has
peen developed as result of present
world conditions It said:
Some authorities believe that through
expert investigation of the international
or world economic situation there has
been created new science distinguish
able from, though of course closely
related to, the science of economics as it
has heretofore been envisaged. If this
opinion Is correct, there is obviously
urgent need in the United States for
the organized examination of the new

science and the popularization Of its
concepts.
"On the other hand, If adequate un-
derstanding Of what is taking place in
the economic world may be achieved
simply by 8 broader approach TO the
science of economics and its develop
ment in harmony with more discern
ing point of view, an organization IN
America, dedicated to this end, would
seem TO hold promise Of no less useful
ness.
Needless to say" the statement con-
tinued, "the Academy of World Eco
nomics is not committed to any par
tictIlar theory or view within its field
Of endeavor 1t will undertake to con-
tribute to the adequate understanding
and expression of all reasonable theories
and views. OF one thing, at least, there
can be no doubt-economic affairs
transcend national boundaries, and the
most isolated communities are not eX-
empt from the good or evil influence of
the uttermost parts Of the earth"
Dean Notz Is Chairman.
Dean William F. Notz Of the School
of Foreign Service Of Georgetown Uni
versity is chairman Of the new academy,
and the first board of directors include
the following local educators: Dean w.
M. w. Splawn Of the Graduate School
of American University; Dean John Nc

oic University of America, John Dom

Offices of the Academy are being
at 2145 C street, opposite
the building Of the National Academy
of Sciences and the National Research
Council. Through the courtesy of its
president, the Brookings Institution, at
1872 Jackson place, is furnishing the
first meeting place of the academy. 1t
was expected that an announcement
would be made later of the program for
this initial meeting, which is to be held
April at pm.
1t is the hope of its incorporatorS
that the new Academy of World Eco
nomics will provide, in Washington, an
institution which may take its place
among similar academies in the field Of
the social sciences, yet may have a

program that Is relatively unique as
well as In general demand. The uni
yersities OF higher learning in the Dis
trict of Columbia, Maryland and Vir-
ginia, 1t was pointed out, furnish the
necessary intellectual basis for such an
academy. Probably no other place Is
quite so appropriate as Washington,
which is the center OF governmental
activity which affects and Is affected
Dy economic conditions throughout the
world, for an establishment devoted to
tne study Of world economics and de-
Slrous OF becoming helpful influence
In world economic betterment.
Economic Trend Realised.
The recent unprecedented growth of
economic processes and trends, the
academy announced, has become uni
versally recognized To some this de-
velopment represents the emergence of
world economic unity, it was pointed
out, In which national economics are
distinctly subordinated and national
polltlcal interferences have no legiti-
mate place. To others. it presents the
aspect of an evolution in which ma
tIona! economies, by means of gradu-
any developing contact and integration,
out without being superseded or dis
PEELED, are forming an international or
world economy.
whichever view is taken" the
academy announced, "the same need
remains for new approach to and q
more profund study of the multiplying
problems involved. The terms world
economies and international eco
nom1cs,' which appear so frequently in
current literature, need to be clarified
not only as to definition but as to un-
derlying conceptions"
In undertaking such a program, the
bylaws OF the academy calls for COL
laboration with other organizations
having similar objectiveS. In this way
1t has become afiliated with the Amer
lean Academy of Political and Social
sciences, which is located at Philadel-
phia.
Under the terms Of this Arrangement,
the Academy of World Economics will
admit as regular members persons re-
siding in Virginia, the District of Co
