The dust was swept here early
yesterday by the tail end Of a swirl
ing sand storm which centered in
Kansas. So thick was the dust in
Evansville in the southern part of
Indiana that residents we're not able
to see the sun at any time.
Showers and slightly warmer tenn

Belief that such a condition might
result arose in some quarters fol-
lowing the meeting of the Public
Utility securities Corp. in New York
Yesterday, at which the RFC elected
six of it's choices to the company S
board.
The indianapolis Power and Light
Co. is controlled by the Utilities
Power and Light CO. The voting
stock of the latter unit in turn is
controlled by the Public Utility Sc
curities Corp, which in turn, is un-
der the domination of the Webster
Securities Co., the top rung IN the
Clarke setup.
The maner by which the govern
ment, through the RFC, enters into
the schemes of the Clarke empire
is as follows:
The RFC had loaned S90,000,O 900
to the Central Republic Bank and
Trust Co. Chicago, now in process
of Liquidation. The government
agency stepped in and placed its
own nominees at the head of the
institution,
Webster Securities Co. had out
standing with the Central Republic
Bank and Trust Co. loan of be-
tween 100000 and 100000. To
procure the loan the company
pledged as collateral stock of the
Public Utility Securities Co.
Thus the RFC-managed Central
Republic Bank, holding the stock Of
the Public Utility Securities Corp,
was able to place its own designees
on the board of that company yes
terday
Through its holding of Public
Utility Securities Corp. stock, the
RFC actually controls Utilities
Power and Light Co. The RFC will
have a chance to insure this control
by electing its own slate Of directors
at the annual stockholders meeting
April "A.
BY the same token the RFC could
extend it's domino ton over the COM

The department did rushing

explaining that one copy would
have to take the place of the
half dozen or so frequently de-
manded.
Twelve and a half pages of the
act are required for indexing
alone. The general content vol
uminously lists penalties, qualifi-
cations for various types of liquor
permits and definitions.
And the definition of a road
house includes the outstanding
typographical error of the week.
"Roadhouses, within the mean
ing of the act. are construed to
include an establishment situated
outside the corporate limits OF a
city or town which, either on &C

will likely be employed for evil
practices and which is of such
character that the same is likely
to be considered either a res

is frequented by persons OF both
sexes under circumstances likely
TO promote immortality, or
which has rooms and quarters so
disposed as to be readily available
or secretly available for improper
conduct or immoral practices.
The barf1y is taken care OF

Kansas.
Today the sun cleaned palely
through billowing, yellow dust
clouds. No relief was in sight. Dust
descended in checking swirls during
the morning calm.
Dust Pneumonia" Fatal
County health authorities at

called, for want of a better name,

that fine dust particles irritated the

France. Italy Firm

By LHitcd Press
PARIS, March % - France is
confident that diplomatic efforts
will prevent war, Foreign Minister
Pierre Laval said today in the
Chamber of Deputies.
Earlier, the chamber had been
told that the German arms plan
was a declaration of war"
L am confident of the success
of the inter governmental efforts
now in progress" Mr.. Laval said.
when he arose after speeches by
radical deputies.
France calmly awaits the diplo-
matte results, but it is Frances duty
to remain vigilant We shall not
renounce our ideal of peace, but it
must be known that France is
strong and will never abandon its
beliefs"
Mr.. Laval's speech came as the
chamber voted favorably on the
French Italian agreement, 555 to 8.
1t includes a provision not to
recognize violations of the Versailles
treaty as legal, and it started the
train Of events climaXed by Adolf
Hitlers announcement of COM
pulsory army service.
Mr.. Laval revealed that Premier
Benito Mussolini of italy had sought
impeachment with Yugoslavia -
IAN act of utmost Importance
throughout Europe" italy and Yu-
goslavia have been estranged.
Mr.. Laval paid high tribute to
Mussolini and said of him
L must render personal homage
to Signor Mussolini We have ex-
actly the same desires for peace by
French Italian collaboration-not a
mere symbolic gesture but a new
policy"
There we're strong indications as
the debate ended that France and
Italy, united, would demand that
Great Britain make no concessions
to Germany in Sir John Simon'a
conference with Hitler at Berlin.

Hull RebukeS
Germany for
Violating Pact

BV JHtted Press
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Sec-
rotary Cordell Hull this afternoon
broke his week-long silence con-
corning the political crisis in Europe
to voice a mild rebuke to the
German government for treaty vio-
lation.
Without mentioning Germany spe-
officially by name, Mr.. Hull said the
United States is concerned over
growing tendencies in the world to
ignore treaty obligations.
He said that the position of the
United States and its people must
always be that of encouraging strict
observance of treaties.
1t was indicated here that Mr..
Hull's virtual pronouncement of
policy probably would serve as no.
tice to Germany, and to the other
powers, of the United States feeling
and position in the present situa-
ton, in lieu of a more formal pro-
test or representations at the pres
ent time.
