RESIST
FLOOD VANDALISM
Stationed in North Missis'
sippi After Dynamiting
of Two Dykes.
Rx the Associated Press.

BY Inc ASSOCltteQ FIeSs.
GREENWOOD, Miss, March al
State troops shouldered guns or North
Mississippi levees near here today as
an aftermath of wild night In
which two dykes were blasted and
private guards and vandaS threat
ened to meet In open battle.
The Nations major flood threat
shifted to Tallahatchie and Leflore
Counties after several hundred men
overpowered guards on Tallahatchie
River levee / mile west Of Phillip
blasted it with dynamite and tA n
blew another dyke near Mace, in Tai
lahatchie County.
When officers heard the vandals
were planning wholesale dynamitine
OF levees, private guards were given
machine and riot guns and told to
shoot to kill' in the event Of an at
tack.
Appeal to Governor.
Authorities hurriedly appealed to
Gov. Sennett Conner for State troops
He Immediately ordered out several
detachments. The soldiers were pa
trolling a wide area today.
Four hundred men descended
quickly on the Philip Levee. over
powered the guards and blasted a 40
foot hole in the embankment late yes
terday.
An onlooker, Bedford Jacks, %,
suffered q broken leg when flying
fragment struck him below the knee.
The water cascaded through the
crevasse, overflowing several thousand
acres of fertile land in Tallahatchie
and Lef1ore Counties. inundating
Philip, a town of 200 population,
and blocking highways.
Reports circulated during the last
few days that farmers. feeling the
levee system was protecting certain
areas from floods at the expense Of
others, planned general dynamiting
Prevents Overflow.
Opening of an artificial crevasse
lessons the water pressure and pro-
tects river and cross-river lands from
overflow.
A dynamite blast a week ago tore
q hole in the highway crossing the
levee at Dry Bayou, but did not dam
age the dyke. 1t was reported the
vandals were on the way there last
night when guardsmen were ordered
out.
Although the major flood threat
was believed passed in this section,
dynamiting would still release above
fiood-stage waters on farm lands.
Militiamen from Grenada. Cleve-
land, Jackson, Canton and Vicksburg
were concentrated in the area.
The high water. coursing downward
from the myriad tributary streams of
Upper Mississippi. today threatened
the Yazoo River Valley in the vicinity
of the Honey Island section, mile
east of Belzoni.
Eighty convicts worked at Swifton.
where officials said there would be a
tough battle on hand until Satur-
day."
Falling Rapidly.
The Coldwater and Tallahatchie
Rivers along the watershed of North
Mississippi were falling rapidly. but
conditions were unimproved in Talla-
hatchie County south of Glendora,
where 10000 to $4,000 acres of farm
land are covered. A threat of flood
stages on the Mississippi River less
ened.
Nearly 10000 persons were still
homeless in Missouri and Arkansas,
but the danger in that area was less
ening as the crest of the st. Francis
River moved southwark.

STRACHEY FACES
| CHARGES TODAY
Emma Goldman and Coun.
tess Cathcart Cases Re.
called by That of Briton.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 21.-The United
States Government today considered
shunting John Stracney, British au-
thor and lecturer, along the path trod
away from America by Emma Gold
man, Countess Vera Cathcart and
other Europeans deemed inimical to
American institutions.
Charged with giving misstatements
to immigration officials as he entered
the country, Strachey. scion of a dis
tinguished English literary family
came to Chicago to answer the immi-
grafton departments charges today.
Other Fights Recalled.
A furor. reminiscent of past depor-
tation controversies, arose after Stra-
chey's arrest last week following a
lecture in suburban Glencoe, recalling
the long legal fights Emma Goldman
and Countess Cathcart made TO avoid
deportation.
Both were unsuccessful. Emma
Goldman was sent back to Russia in
1919 during drive by Attorney Gen.
eral A. Mitchell Palmer against ad-
vocates of subversive doctrines, an
exile from which she shortly fed. de-
claring Soviet Russia robbed its people
Of freedom.
Countess Cathcart, on grounds of
moral turpitude. was sent away from
American shores, as have been a host
of others.
Strachey termed himself an "intel-
lectual Communist" denying charges
he advocated overthrow of the Gov
ernment by force, and both American
and British Communist party officials
were quick to deny he was a party
member.
Defense Counsel Supplied.
To his defense have come a number
of liberals. including the American
Civil Liberties Union, which offered
him legal counsel to fight the charges.
The union retained Arthur Garfield
Hays, noted New York attorney, to
represent Strachey.
Secretary Perkins, bombarded by
petitions concerning Strachey's arrest,
declined TO comment on the case and
referred all queries to the Immigra-
tion Department.
Strachey, former member of Par
lament and nephew of Lytton Stra-
chey, British biographer, called the
incident "a joke" saying he planned
to leave the country soon, anyway at
the end of his lecture tour.
He announced he would give lee
ture tonight entitled Why Deport
Me?''

uS TUE BEST icoOlo 90


from banking sources.
A committee representing the
po,Oerful American Bankers ASso-
citation has been holding series
OF quiet conferences with Coz.
Eccles of Federal Reserve. The
bankers tOanted certain changes
and succeeded in gaining some, but
the biggest change they got i1as
one excessively dtstastetul to them.
This relates to open market opera
tiOnS. The bankers contended that
bank governors should have power to
direct any Government bond-buying
programs. They thought the bill
should be liberalized in that respect.
Instead, the House Banking and
Currency Committee eliminated en-
tirely the authority of governors In
that respect. AS it stands now, the
bill gives the Federal Reserve Board
full authority over open market oper-
ations. providing that it consults q
committee of five bank governors.
There was time when bankers had
some influence in Washington.
Shame on Gold Default.
Treasury officials finally are becom-
ing shamefaced about their default
of gold payments to Panama. A change
of policy may be announced shortly.
In view of everything the United
States has said to the world about the
sanctity of treaties and international
debts. the Treasury refusal to pay
Panama her canal rent in gold makes
the State Department feel foolish.
The Treasury has been worried
about the effect . Panama payment
would have on the larger question Of
foreign holders of liberty bonds, but
the Treasury lawyers win get around

The situation attracted national at
tention only when Hopkins picked up
a mud pie full of graft charges and
hurled it at Davey and certain high
officials" saying they were shaking
down businessmen, and Davey replied
with a charge OF libel.
The assumption at Federal emer-
gency relief headquarters is that sew
eral people may get soiled IN the cur
rent melee, but no one will get hurt.
Relief Admissions.
Every one close to the Government
knows there has been certain
amount of favoristisn. inefficiency and
red tape in relief. Such things are
always hard to prove, but all admit
they exist. They could hardly be
avoided in the emergency handling OF
that much money.
The only argument is about how
much money is inefficiently spent.
Every one has his own idea about
that. You may be sure, however. that
snoopy Congressman and others have
not been able to find very much In
provable form, else there would have
been Q congressional investigation long
before this.
Another reason there has not

He has not been entirely free from

For instance, Hopkins has not played

Farley at any time, although occa-
sionally he has felt what might be
called the Farley influence. as relayed
to him by the highest third parties.

Hopkins Tactics.
Hopkins tactics are designed to
keep his own feet dry. He has stopped
every pHCNiOuS PubilIiIy oui &c dbOhS
F. E. r. A. graft by announcing
suspicious circumstances himself, be-
fore any one else could. He has set
up a thin skeleton organization here,
employing 600 persons. He has asked
the responsibility for the final ham
ding of the money over to the States.
This decentralizes his responsibility
for graft. Under such a system there
can be a maximum of graft with a
minimum of notice: this Is admitted
privately by the F. E. r. A. officials,
but they insist it is the only way to
get quick action and preserve State
rights.
Contrast this with the P. w. A. sys-
tenn. Secretary Ickes attempts to avoid
graft through highly centralized
Washington set-up, thus increasing
red tape to the point where the ef1-
cheney Of his organization is curtailed
