NEW YORK, December 14.-Stocxs

in the late afternoon gave the list a
spotty appearance. Allied Chemical

EXPERT STUDIES ANCIENT ILLS
 OF EGYPTIANS
Univ. of Pennsylvania Peeks Into Mummies'
 Parts

Philadelphia.-Me men, not content with the myriads of dis eases the world knows to-day, are launching a campaign of research into the ills and ailments of the ancient Egyptians.
 What is probably the first at- tempt of medical men to study Egyptian mummies by means of the x-Ray is being made at the University of Pennsylvania Mu- scum under the direction of Dr J Gershon- Cohen, of the Graduate School of Medicine radiology de- partment. He is being assisted by Dr Harry Shay, of the same de- partment.
 E-Rays Reveal Secrets
 x-Ray studies of mummies have been made before, but the results seldom, if ever, were given a med ical interpretation. In most cases the work has been done by tech- nicians.
 In photographing the mummy. according to Dr Gershon-Cohen, the procedure is to place the X- Ray film beneath the mummy and expose 1t to the rays until the bones of the tightly wrapped sub ject become clearly outlined on the film. In examining the results of one photograph, Dr Gershon- Cohen found evidence of a rare disease of the head.
 Set Broken Bones
 Another film showed the manner in which the Egyptians set broken bones thousands of years ago. Still anothen revealed evidences of haste and carelessness on the part of those preparing the dead for bur- iaI
 According to the experts, K Rays of the feet of mummies show that the ancients did not suffer from ill-fittins footgear, though contractions caused by the tight strap, of sandals passing across the foot could be noticed.
 The researches also have re- vealed precious jewels wrapped up with the mummies, and occasion ally the films showed mutilations caused by Arab grave robbers in search of treasures.

OHIO RIVER IS
 RISING BUT THE
 DANGER IS OVER
Flood Will Begin to Subside Thursday - Thousands Still HOme- less in Very Many Places

Cincinnati, March 22-(UP)- The Ohio river continued to rise slightly today, but the additional
 what was going into already flooded low-lands and caused no
 further havoc in a 500-mile
 stretch of river land dotted with refuge camps. ruined homes. and ] cities with flooded strets and base
 ments. The flood was expected to begin subsiding tomorrow as the crest moves on to the Mississipp pi at Cairo, III. Snow fiurries and temperatures ranging around 32 degrees were predicted for today. A half inch rain fall was recorded
 yesterday.
 Thousands were still homeless in 8 dozen cities and towns. and
 were being cared for in warehouses lodge halls, and refuge camps. Hundreds of additional families were evacuated from inundated districts between Wheeling. w. Va, and Cincinnati yesterday. Ohio National guard officers were in Portsmouth, Batavia, and Manches- ter to report on conditions and
 troops were ready in both Ohio and Kentucy for dispatch to flooded
 regions. The river at Cincinnati stood at 63 feet, five and one-half inches last night and w. c. Dever-
 aux, United States water observer. did not believe 1t would rise more than six inches more.

 Dishonest Bankers
Attorney General For Time or Perhaps Permanent, / He Has Gone ReIentlessly After Bad Banking Mer
 and the Evaders of Taxes

civil fields, who are legally vul- nerable for six.
 T took the oath of office Satur- day afternoon, March 4." said Gen. eral Cummings. "On Monday morning, March 6. began the in- vestigation of banking irregulari- ties. All the energies of the de- pertinent have been concentrated on 1t ever since"
 LAW REQUIRES SPEED
 The work of co-ordinating find. ings and achievements of the de. partment under the last adminis- tration with the findings and pur- poses of the new has already been accomplished, he said. Arrests ale ready have begun. and will con- tinue as circumstances warrant. We have more time to investi- gate income tax frauds because there the statute of limitations works only after six years" the general continued. But the bank ing side calls for speed. and that is what we are giving it."
 General Cummings was asked if the statute of Limitations on bank ing Irregularities seemed to have supplied loopholes of escape from legal action with special regard to the crash-year of 1929.
 He smiled grimly. "It would appear so." he said.
 LIMITATION REACTS
 It is pointedw out in legal circles in Washington that the handicap of a three-year limitation under which the Department of Justice is working in prosecuting bank frauds is comparativel ynew. It came about, lawyers say, as re- suit of the senatorial inquiries of few years ago with which the name of Senator Tom Walsh, slated until his death for the at- torney generalship in this admin istration, was so closely connected. Witnesses, lawyers recall, fre- quently refused to come clean, on the ground that their, statements
 might incriminate them. Con- gress, thereat, rushed law short ening the infectious period. in the hope of prying facts out of tongue tied guests in the com mittee rooms. It served it's purpose, but now it Is working the other way A NEW HIGHLANDER
 New legislation is unlikely to catch specific cases already thus outlawed, lawyers say. It would be considered lex post facto." and therefore beyond the judicial pale.
 It may well be. however, that new banking legislation will bring about a return to the old limit.
 General Cummings looks like what he is-a shrewd, successful, veteran New England lawyer. He is tall and broad -shouldered. long, armed. loose -jointcd. He has a cold, analytical poker-face. Pince- neg frigidly bridge prominent. straight nose. His forehead is high, his head baldish, framed with gray-sandy hair. He speaks slowly and only after due consid- eration tells him exactly what he wants to say. He is 63.
 COURAGEOUS IN POLITICS
 Central Cummings has shown persistent. courageous, if not al- ways successful. political capacity since graduating from Yale in 1891. A democratic national committeeman since 1900. active in party councils for years. he never won the vote of his own state for national office-Connectl- cut having long been normally re-

is quite possible that the president will want to keep this pugnacious, courageous, astute counsellor in the hurly-burly of Washington rather than send him to the spicy breezes of Manila and the com paratively restful company of the Filipinos.
 Washington gathers that Gen. eral Cummings has proved himself shrewd advisor at White House conferences, in which he has been a very frequent attendant. His pouJIssI su uoIuM uoIJ--uuIIJ Met on taking office--has just won a highly important decision against Andrew Mellon's aluminium organ ization which, unless overruled. will bring about the revelation of costs of producing aluminium, "a dark secret for twenty years," &C., cording to Cummings.

Members Will Discuss His Demand For Dictator Powers and Will Grant Them

 Berlin, March 22. - (UP)- Pledged to support Chancellor Adolf Hitler as supreme dictator, the reichstag will assemble tomor- row in the Kroll Opera House here to receive the official demand of the fascist government for dicta- torial power.
 Immediately after Hitler's ad- dress, the program will call for first and second readings of an enabl- ing act which will strip the reich- stag of legislative power until 1897. Nazi domination of the body was capped yesterday by the reelection of Hermann Wilhelm Goering. right hand man of Hitler, as speaker of the body, and the Hit Ter dictatorship seemed certain to be approved.
 Draped with the black. white and red flag of imperial Germany, Berlin today reviewed the tumultu- ous events of 24 hours, a monarch ist reaction so vivid and emphatic that March 21 will it is believed by many, be considered henceforth Germany's Independence day"
 The martial spirit and excite ment of awakened Germany" has been heightened by dispatches from Warsaw announcing that Po- land has SC tup dictatorship, the Polish parliament having author ized the government to rule by de- cree, without its approval, until November 1. Warsaw officially de- nied charges that Poland was gath ering troops in the Polish corridor separating East Prussia from the rest of Germany, but Berlin at- tached significance to the dicta- torial authorization.
 Following the opening of the reichstag yesterday, President Paul Won Hindenburg issued two emer- gency decrees here, the first grant ing amnesty 10 all perpetrators of illegal acts committed in the in- teresst of the national awakening" the second providing Imprisonment for the unauthorized use of party uniforms and emblems.
