FLOOD WATER
BEGINS To
RECEDE
Nine Dead, Many Homeless
As Cold Wave Blankets
Ohio River Valley

CINCINNATI, Ohio, March
21 (I.N.S.).-Flood waters
which have roared through the
Ohio Valley for the last week,
spreading havoc and destruc-
tion and causing at least nine
deaths, were believed today to
have spent their force.
Following a survey of the flood
region, U. S. engineers reported
shortly before noon today that
the rapid rise of the river ap-
pears to be checked and further
rise of any damaging conse-
Quence is unlikely.
Many Hit BY Cold
The heartening report on the
river conditions came as relief
workers joined in a concerted
drive to prevent a spread of
disease and to distribute warm
food and clothing to thousands
of refugees, trapped by cold
weather which swung down on
the valley last night and early
today.
The rise of the river in the
Portsmouth-Cincinna area, &C
cording to reports to the U. S.
engineers, has been less than
one-tenth of foot in the two
hours from 9 a. m. to II a. m.
Cooperating in keeping distress
to a minimum were IS chapters
of the National Red Cross in the
water-Swept valley. Resources of
State and local agencies also
were pressed into service, and it
was understood that a relief ex.
pedition of 80 men is being or.
ganized from the Buffalo Coast
Guard station to lend assistance.
Thousands Vacate
Several thousand families. it
was estimated, have been forced
to vacate their homes in the path
Of the roaring flood currents.
Transportation service in and
out of Cincinnati was being main
tanned with fair degree of regu.
larity today.
Practically all trains were ar
irving on schedule in the new
Union Terminal here.
Main roads from Indianapolis
to Cincinnati and Louisville were
among the hundreds of highways
inundated by the rising waters
today. Railroad rights of way
through the lowlands in the tri.
state area likewise were under
water.

Message to Congress Seeks
To Establish National
Forest Conservation

President Roosevelt today
asked Congress for a continu-
ance of direct Federal unem-
ployment aid to States and
recommended the creation of a
"civilian conservation corps"
designed to put some 100000
men to work in the national
forests.
In a special message to Con-
gress, the Executive stressed the
Importance of immediate atten-
ton to- unemployment relief.
Three types of legislation are
needed, he saids
1.For the enrolment of
workers by the Government for
public employment that can be
started quickly;
2. Grants to States for relief
work, and
3. A broad public works labor
creating program.
The third point, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, will be taken up by him in
detail later when he concludes a
current study on the financial
questions involved.

In order to facilitate grants to
States for relief work, the Presi-

During a brief recess at the

She broke down in tears again
o few minutes later. She cried:

SHOT BY SON

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 81
GN.S).-Dr. Fonsa A. Lambert,
widely-known football authority,
was shot and seriously wounded
in the abdomen today by his
17-year-old son, Sam.
The youth said he shot his
father in defense of his mother.
Before being rushed to the
hospital for an emergency opera
ton, Lambert absolved his son
of blame, according to Ralph
Hammar, chief of Bexley police.
Hammar said he learned the
shooting was the climax of a do
mestic quarrel in an upstairs bed
room of the Lambert home.
Lambert, according to the
youths story to police, was chok-
ing his mother and twisting her
arm. Selling revolver, the youth
warned his father. The two
grappled and, in the struggle, the
weapon discharged. The bullet
lodged in Lambert's abdomen.
Police who investigated the
shooting said Lambert told them:
81 want my son absOlved of
blame. The boy was protecting
his mother"
Lambert is a member of the ma
tional football rules committee
and has officiated at numerous
gridiron games at Ohio State and
Southern colleges.

CHERRY BLOOMS
DUE APRIL |

The japanese cherry blossoms,
Washington's greatest drawing
card for tourists, will blossom
some time between April 1 and
10, park horticulturists today pre-
dicted.
The date when the blossoms
burst into bloom depends en-
tirely upon the weather during
the next two weeks, they pointed
out. Warm weather would set
the date about April /. but con-
tinuation of the present cold and
rainy spell might delay it by
10 days.
AS usual, the single blossoms
will bloom a week or 10 days
before the double blossoms.

Delt'S message to Congress on uu
relief tollo1OS::
To the Congress:
It is essential to our recovery
program that measures imme-
diately be enacted aimed at
unemployment relief. A direct
attack in this problem suggests
three types Of legislation.
The first is the enrolment
of workers now by the Federal
Government for such public
employment as can be quickly
started and will not interfere
with the demand for or the
proper standards of normal en-
ployment.
The second is grants to
States for relief work.
The third extends to a broad
public works labor creating
program.
With reference to the latter
am now studying the many
projects suggested and the fl
nancial questions involved. I
shall make recommendations to
the Congress presently.
Asks Relief Funds
In regard to grants to States
for relief work, I advise you
that the remainder of the ap-
preparation of last year will
last until May. Therefore, and

AVOID LEAGUE,
CASTLE PLEA
America should stay out OF

America should stay out Of
the League of Nations.
This was the advice today Of
former Undersecretary Of State
William R. Castle. jr., after IA
years of close contact with
American foreign affairs.
Free to express his opinion
without the restraint of public
office, Castle said the United
States has far more to lose in
becoming a member of the League
of Nations than it might gain.
He said:
'T am not in favor Of Joining
the League because I think it
would involve this nation in
all the troubles of Europe.
1--WE can cooperate with the
rest Of the world and be just
as useful in exerting influence
for the maintenance of peace
by remaining outside the
League. To join the League
would simply mean that this
nation would become involved
in European controversies Of
all kinds - controversies that
have nothing to do with us.
1--WE should be obliged to
take part in discussions Of
questions with which we have
really no concern and to join
in decisions which would be
bound to cause bad feeling to-
ward us on the part Of one or
the other of the parties in
VOlved.

impartial and friendly to all,
except when our own interests
are affected"

tomorrow and Is days thereafter
beer will begin to flow where it is
not specifically prohibited by
State law.
The House acted with remark
able speed and without record

the historic question.
The final House approval came
so quickly that the House hardly
realized what it had done.
AS no one demanded roll call
and Rainey declared the confer
ence report approved, the bewild-
cred foes of prohibition regained
their poise and broke into cheers.
Speaker Rainey Immediately
signed the measure, leaving only
the signature of Vice President
Garner necessary to send the bill
to the White House.
BlantOn Only Defender
Only Representative Blanton
CD of Texas, leader of the
House drys, rose to speak in op-
position to the conference report.
After a brief explanation by Rep
resentative Cullen D0 of New
York, sponsor of the bill, the vets
confined their talk to interrupt

AS the measure becomes effect

beer will flow in % States after

to amend the VolStead act.
The decision was received in
silence by the House drys, but
outside of Congress, the militant

the Supreme Court.
Since the Senate had approved
