 Dead in Tornado
(Continued from Page 1)

NCOHLluuc0 lIOIJ Ld60 ~ East Texas area near Shutdown, sweeping into Louisiana after nightfall.
 It cut q swath some 150 yards wide. Farmhouses were leveled, with densely populated communi- ties escaping in the main.
 Heavy rainfall accompanied the tornado. It was feared high waters had taken unreported lives and forced loWland residents from their homes.
 Red Cross officials hurried to the Mineola-Tyler East Texas area. They reported more than 100 desti- ute, with a pressing need for food and clothing.
 Telegraph lines between Beau mont and Center were torn down by the storm.
 At Huntington, drugstores and general merchandise establish ments were turned into first aid stations, with hospital facilities far short of the need. Treatment went on by the light of kerosene lamps and lanterns.
 At least three victims were re- ported in a critical condition at Huntington, among them Mrs Bethel Woodward, whose baby was killed.
 Roads were impossible in tho Center community. Mayor O. F. Metz and five physicians resorted to horseback travel to reach t he more seriously stricken area.
 A terrific wind and rain accom- panied the storm in northern Louisiana. The Jones home was demolished. Residences and bus mess houses at Halls Summit and Harmon were unroofed or levelled.
 Relief workers pressed toward the stricken area, clearing timbers felled across highways.
 Marks, Miss, March 3f. (UP)- A terrific wind whipped through this town of 1,500 persons to-day. wrecked some buildings, unroofcd others, and injured several persons.
 The loss is estimated at approxi- mately $25.000.
 Almost every building in the town was damaged.
 The wind also caused damage to property at Belen, a few miles from Marks, and at Darling. a town of 500, a few miles to the north.

not be able to participate in the picketing of Jewish shops. Regulations for the orderly boycott were issued today. They provide that would-be patrons of Jewish shops must not be hindered from entering any stores, but that the pickets shall appeal to them to "buy German"
 In some small towns, snapshots will be taken of patrons who in- sist upon buying of Jewish trades men, and the pictures will be pub- lished by the local press.
 Names and addresses of custom CTS presumably will be taken by pickets.
 The Nazls do not intend to enter the publishing plants of Jewish newspapers, but action will be taken to prevent sale of such news papers on the street, and copies of these publications may be torn up.
 It Is estimated that 3O,00O pickets will be on duty in Berlin tomorrow, working in three hour shifts.
 The actual picketing will begin at 9:30 a. m. tomorrow, when storm troopers will attach large posters to all Jewish stores an- nouncing the beginning of the boy colt. The posters will be in yellow type on black paper-ancient sym bof of degradation.
 All moving vans in the city especial active since tomorrow is the annual moving day for Berlin will bear immense posters pro- claiming the boycott.
 Foreign stores, by new orders, will be eliminated from the picket ing.
 Because of the great number of practicing Jewish doctors and lawyers, it will be impossible to picket individual offices, but it is planned to stop all payments of fees, general sick benefits and in- surance funds by which they might benefit. Later these physicians will be eliminated from hospital and clinic staffs, through cancella- ton or non-renewal of their con- tracts.
 Action against the lawyers will be concentrated at the general chambers adjoining the German courts, where storm troopers will prevent Jewish attorneys from en- tering to plead their cases.
 This method, Nazi leaders be- lieve, will succeed in dissuading citizens from consulting Jewish lawyers, who would not be per mitted to file suits or appeal for clients.
 A special order applicable to the Berlin district directs German cm. ployes of Jewish shops to appear al their places of business as usual to- morrow, but to demnad immediate ly two months advance payment and the dismissal of their fellow

 This will make the second div Idend to commercial depositors. the first one, of 10 per cent. hav- ing been paid within the past year.

 In Great Britain 1t is possible for the big banks to buy up small CT banks and to establish branch banks anywhere in the United Kingdom. The result of this is virtually what Americans would call money trust. There are some considerable, good-siZed independ- ent banks in Great Britain, but they are overshadowed by what are known as the Big Five" On the last day of 1892 the deposits in these banks were as follows: Nat Onal Provincial

 Reckoning pound sterling at par. this amounts to the enormous sum of $8.598.799,731 in these "Big Five" banks. Every one of these banks has branches in every city and town in England and Wales.
 Some have branches also in Scot land and Northern Ireland. Tn all, the Big Five" have about 5000 branches.
 There have been no notable bank failures. Also British banking laws do not allow banks to estab- fish subsidiary companies for the sale of stocks. The only big ti- ancial crashes in Great Britain in recent years have been private speculative concerns and in nearly everw instance the heads of those concerns have gone to prison for long terms. British courts do not allow them to play ducks and drakes with the peoples money.

GREEN ASKS CODE
OF 3D-HOUR WEEK
A. F. Of l. President Fights
Merit Clause at Auto
Parts Hearing.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
william Green, president of the
American Federation Of Labor. pressed
again yesterday for - drastic reduction
in working hours" at public hearing on
q code OF competition for the automo-
bile parts and equipment manufac-
turers.
Appearing Unexpectedly at the hear
ing, Green took exception not only to
the merit CLAUSE" that Is identical to
that IN the automobile manufacturers
code, but asserted unless the maximum
work week was fixed at so hours there
could be no adequate restoration of en-
ployment. He also demanded higher
minimum wages.
Earlier q demand that the merit
clause be sustained was made by c. C.
Carlton, executive vice president Of the
Automobile Parts and Equipment Man.
ufacturers. which submitted the code.
He charged that if the administration
refused to include this clause. it would
be in the position of having granted a
special privilege to the automobile
manufacturers" Under this provision,
employees can be advanced or otherwise
on merit regardless of union afhliation.
A demand for recognition of automo-
tive parts and equipment as distinct
industry was made earlier at the hear
ing. 1t was made by Charles s. Davis,
president of the BorgWarner Corpora
ton of Chicago. and of the Automotive
Parts and Equipment Manufacturers
Inc, the association that submitted the
code.
The manufacturers also asked a
basic 40-hour-week averaged over a
six-month period, with a maximum of
six days or 48shours in periods of heav-
lest production. Minimum wages were
fixed at 40 cents an hour for males and
35 cents an hour for females.
Every one Of the more than 10000
900 motor vehicle owners of the coun-
try is directly or indirectly patron OF
the industry" Davis said.
He added. This industry has done
its part by re-employing since June l
virtually all labor dependent upon 1t, .
and that an increase OF "a per cent
was shown in the number Of employees
since June l. due solely to a reduction
in the number of working hours.
