To L.S.U. Students
Being Liguidated
90 to 20 Per Cent Pay
Back Expense Money
to Grid Contest.
BY the Associated Press.

BATON ROUGE, La, March g.
When Senator Huey P. Long last
October was shelling out cash on the
Louisiana State University campus for
students expenses to the Vanderbilt
foot ball game at Nashville he said he
would get most of it back and now the
money is rolling In at 81 head.
The Senator was nearly mobbed as
he passed out sheafs of crisp bills
with only the borrowers name on the
back of laundry slip as security.
Asked then whether he was giving
away the money or whether he ex-
pected to be repaid in loans. Long
said he was lending the money" and
added I'VE never lose much"
Now, nearly five months later. E. N
Jackson, business manager of the COL
lege, reports that the Senator was
mostly right" and that the ma jority
of the students have repaid their
loans.
Jackson said that $500 was dis
tributed by Long to about 500 stu
dents and that so to rs per cent have
refunded the loans and that many of
the balance had made personal ar
rangements with Long to pay him
with wages from jobs next Summer.
AS the T. o. US were being made
out Long said he never knew there
were so many John Smiths" in Baton
Rouge.
Soon after the distribution univer-
sity officials said any students who
had signed fake names would be per-
mitted to make restitution, and if they
did so no action would be taken
against them.

streams today sent food waves down
their basins, inundating bottom lands
and nat stretches, washing out high
ways and invading the cities of Hat

tial blocks. occupied mostly by COL
ored people and located on the out
skirts of the city. were in the water
which coursed through from the
junction of Leaf River and Bowie
Creek. northwest of the city.
A similar number of low blocks in
East and South Jackson were under
water from the flood of Pearl River
on the east side and Town Creek
which runs through South Jackson.
Red Cross officials at Hattiesburg
estimated that there were between
200 and $50 families driven from their
homes in Hattiesburg and the sur
rounding flood section. while scores
were forced to fee the inundation in
Jackson
officials expressed no fear that there
would be any loss of life. Red Cross
chapters mobilized their forces In
rescue and relief work and brought
marooned persons to safety.
This afternoon Leaf River was re-
ported stationary at Hattiesburg, with

DETROIT, March 9.-The Ameri-

motor car manufacturers independ-
i, .ently of the RooSevelt-created Ma

] coupled with it threat to call out
, A. F. of L. members in the. industry
= unless such a meeting is arranged.
The federation also proposed that its
right to speak for workers in the in

. ment-supervised poll, conducted by
, the National Labor Relations Board.
. These latest developments in the
verbal controversy between the fed
. Grafton and the manufacturers were
contained in a statement by Francis
j. Dillon, federation organizer. The
statement was in response to letter
by Alfred G. Reeves, vice president OF
the Automobile Manufacturers ASso-
citation to William Green, president
of the A. F. of L.. rejecting the lat
ters proposal for an independent
conference and denying Green's right
to speak for the majority of automo-
bile plant workers.
Request Is Modest"
;, "Mr. Green's request" said Dillon,
'is a modest one. 1t is constructive
and the automobile workers will stand
back Of him and unless this modest
request for a conference is conceded
and recognized by the management
we propose to use our economic power
and withdraw the services OF our peo-
pie from this industry and fight II

Dillon renewed Federation charges
that workers have been discharged for

Dillon said
The strike vote now being taken

When the call for the strike vote
was issued a week ago it was regarded
by some persons here as probably
more of test of Federation strength

RUTLAND ORDERS
MILK INSPECTION
Seeks to Curb Scarlet Fever
in Northwest Section
and in Maryland.

A thorough check of the Districts
milk supply. particularly in nearby
Maryland northwest of the city, was
ordered yesterday by DR.. George H.
Rutland, health officer, in an effort
to halt the spread of SCARLET fever
DIR. Rutland called in all his field
inspectors yesterday for conference
on the disease which has become
fairly widespread in Northwest WASH
ington. especially in Chevy Chase,
D. c., and Chevy Chase, Md.
The inspection will not affect the
city's whole milk supply, but will be
applied to sources not now regularly
inspected by the Health Department.
A number of families, it was asserted,
near the District line, get their milk
from private sources in Maryland in
stead of through the regularly estab-
lished dairies that are inspected.
Possibility of Carriers.
1t is DR.. Ruhland's idea that there
may be some scarlet fever carriers
employed on the small farms supply
ing milk to few families.
Since the first of last week there
has been little change in the number
OF cases in the District and the
Health Department continues to be-
lieve there is little cause for alarm in
the situation, although the number of
current cases is the largest within
recent years.
At the same time. the Medical So
ciety of the District of Columbia is
sued a statement saying the disease
has reached mild epidemic stage in
the District and warning parents to
observe their children closely for any
symptoms OF the disease before they
are sent of to school.
Scarlet fever is spread by direct
contact and 1t is during the first
week that the child Is most apt to
pass the malady on to another.
1T cannot be urged too strongly
just at this time. that the child with
an extremely mild complaint be kept

For the benefit of parents the So

posely overlooked. until too late to

When child has a sore throat

Sential that he be kept home from

promptly in order TO advise proper
isolation precautions and proper pre-
cautions against such severe later
complications as kidney disease, abb

The scarlet fever rash. which Is
frequently very insignificant may
escape notice so that it is not uncom-
mon to find children 'peeling' in

suspected. These are the cases which
are responsible. in most instances, for
