OHIO RIVER HAS GONE ON EARLY
 SPRING DRIVE
Hundreds of Families Are Homeless and Others Are Being Hurried From Their Home Sites

Cincinnati. March 20-(UP) Hundreds of families were home less and other hundreds were be- ing evacuated from scores of miles of Ohio river bottom land today as the slowly mounting river, ale ready beyond flood stage, threat ened the worst overflow since 1913.
 At least three persons were known to have died as reports trickled in from isolated river communities. Fifteen hundred fam- lilies were made homeless in Cin- cinnati, Bellevue, Ky, authorities reported the river had swallowed the homes of 700 families. Other Kentucky towns-Silver Gorge, Melbourne, Ross, and Dayton-sent reports of flooded districts.
 Police in Cincinnati and other river cities communicated boats of all descriptions to remove from residents from the threatened areas. in Newport, Ky, police in row boats and motor boats removed res- idents from upper stories of their homes. A third of the residential district was flooded and authorities hastily set up community kitch- en and temporary lodgings for the homeless.
 Property damage was expected to mount into hundreds of thous- ands of dollars. Most communities were caught unprepared. As late as Saturday weather bureau fore casters believed the crest would not be over 50 feet, two feet below flood stage, but torrential rains Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night brough the river up to 60 feet. In 1913 the river reached a high of 77 feet.
 The three known dead were in a car that was overturned by flood waters while being driven along an inundated road at Bromley. Xxx. They were John Bain. 27, George Heidman. 33, and Harry Linde- man, 28, all of Covington, Ky. Two other deaths were traced indirectly to the flood. At Lawrenceburg, Ind. James Stephens, IS. found bottle floating in the back water of the big Miami river. He sampled its contents and died few hours la ter in convulsions. In Campbell county, Ky. Galen Ihrig, 15, climbed a power line pole to survey the flood, came in contact with a live wire, and was electrocuted.

Hollywood, March 20-(UP)- Love lost but not paid for in Hol- lywood during recent months-ac- cording to the allegations of nu- merous damage suits-totals nearly $1,500,000.
 Against this total claimed for al- legged breach of promise, alienation of affections or improper conduct, was set the small figure of a few thousands collected.
 Suits aggregating nearly a mill lion and a half dollars have been filed but never brought to trial, or have been dismissed, a checkup Of court records disclosed.
 Not included in these was the suit of Jorgen Dietz, brought Fri day against Douglas Fairbanks. Jr. asking $50,000 damages for alleged alienation of the affections of Mrs Solveig Dietz, scenarist, now Tn Copenhagen. :.
 This action brought a direct charge from District Attorney Bur on Fitts, and from Fairbanks and his wife, Joan Crawford, that the suit was attempted extortion." Dietz alleged he had been falsely imprisoned TOT several hours uHtlI he promised to drop his proposed action.
 After the Dietz suit was made public, Miss Crawford announced she and Fairbanks had separated. She denied the suit had anything to do with it, and said she stood ready to help her husband in any way possible to defend the case.
 One of the few cases which re- suited in settlement or judgment was that of Thomas O'Brien against Harry Langdon, the comedian. A suit to collect $11,00O assertedly promised as second payment of a breach of promise settlement was brought by O'Brien. He alleged Langdon had signed notes to that amount after paying $S,000.
 Trial ended with O'Brien failing to collect on the notes and Lang don given no judgment on his counter suit to collect $8,000 al- ready paid. The action followed marriage of Helen Walton, former wife of O'Brien, to Langdon.

Mrs. Ian Keith Cites Collapse of
German Industry Due to
Anti-Semitism.

HOLLYWOOD, September 22-The
proposal of Chancellor Adolf Hitler's
film organization to recall motion pic
ture notables is an attempt to keep the
German movie industry from collapse,

last night.
Mrs. Keith, who as Fern Andra was
a star in German films, is an American
citizen and was born in the little town
Of Watseka. III.
When Chancellor Hitler restricted
activities Of Jews in Germany" Mrs.
Keith said, "the film business suffered.
New directors, new actors, new officials
had to be found.
"At present Germany has only two
or three non-Semitic box Office names,
so naturally the talent which Is out Of
the country is required. It apparently
is Hitler's idea to recall players and
directors in an attempt to bolster the
industry"
Those of German birth in Hollywood
who would be affected by such an order
include Marlene Dietrich. Dorothea
Week. Ernest Lubitsch. the director,
who recently took out his first citizen

tor, formerly star in Griffith films;
