RANSOM ACTIVITY DENIED.
Chief Of Agents at Boston Says Armed
Sortie Was Target Practice"

Sortie Was Target Practice"
BOSTON, April rs uP).-Excited
reports that Federal agents armed
with submachine guns were engaged in
a Statewide hunt for Alvin Karpis,
the Lindbergh ransom cash, or the
gunmen who recently held up the
Chelsea City Hall, brought smiling
denial today from Clarence D. Mexican,
New England head of the Department
Of Justice.
1t was true, he admitted, that three
carloads of heavily armed G-men left
the Federal building yesterday. and
that lot Of shooting followed during
the day.
But all the gunplay took place at the
rife range of Camp Curtis Guild in
Wakefield. with not desperate in
sight.
In a statement putting at rest rumors
circulating during the past two days,
Mexican said:
That story about the Lindbergh
ransom money is absolutely untrue.
1t is just about as half-cocked as
those Karpis stories yesterday.
mo report has come to my Office
about Lindbergh ransom bills being
passed in Massachusetts, and it would
certainly come here If such a condi-
ton existed.
MY men were going to the rife
range for target practice. That is all
They were not and are not working
on any case involving Karpis or the
Lindbergh ransom money"
McKean's denial followed a state
ment by Roy A. Young, president OF
the Boston Federal Reserve Bank, that
no gold notes of the Lindbergh ram
som money had gone through the Re-
serve bank here, as they would if
passed in any New England banks.

Small Can Be Great in

When a small nation accomplishes
something with Its limited means,
says ex-President Masaryk of Czecho-
slovakla In Karel Capek's president
Masaryk Tells His Story" what 1t
achieves has an immense and excep-
tional value, like the widows mite.
Speaking of his country, Masaryk
writes, Our smallness as a nation
does not matter; 1t even has its ad-
vantages; we a know each other
better, we car live more Intimately ;
we can feel more at home. But 1t
Is q great thing when a small nation
among great ones does not get left
behind, but takes Its share in the
work of lettering humanity"

Frances proposal to submit the

gested by the English, to police the
Rhlneland ZONE with an International

A third provision, for drawing up a
system of mutual guarantees among
the Locarno powers, to operate In case
or an attack, the spokesman said. was
unnecessary because Germany has no
intention Of crossing her frontiers"
None Of the Germans, however, even
intimated that Hitler would withdraw
any of his troops from the Rhineland.
Hitler was continuing his speech

THE person to ask whether the

Which is food for thought if you

Scientists rate Bayer Aspirin

and the pains of rheumatism, neu-

it safe for the average person to use
regularly. In your own interest re-

CTATES OF the Central East and New
- England suffered severely from the
almost unprecedented floods. Scores
OF lives were lost and the vast prop
erty damage cannot yet be estimated.
At least 10000 persons were made
homeless. Conditions were worst In
western Pennsylvania. The Mononga-
hela and Allegheny rivers. uniting at
Pittsburgh to form the Ohio, poured
raging torrents down over the great
Industrial city, driving the people from
their homes and places of business.
The famous Golden Triangle" between
the rivers was completely inundated;
transportation and communication sys-
TENS were suspended and power plants
were put put Of commission so the
city was plunged in darkness. The
plight Of the suburbs was equally bad.
Farther east, Johnstown was en-
tirely flooded and the terror-stricken
inhabitants fled from their homes, but
the great Quemahoning dam was hold

the disaster of 1889 seemed to be pass

the Susquehanna and its tributaries
were under water. and In New York

Delaware rivers were out of their
banks and rapidly rising. The Potomac,
too, became a raging flood and In
Washington an army of men was work
Ing fever.shly to save the buildings and
monuments in the flatlands.
Ten thousand persons were rendered
homeless In the New England states
and about a score lost their lives. The
emergency there was greatest in the
valley Of the Connecticut river. Many
cities were cut off from rail transpor-
tation and also were without light and
power.
American Red Cross rose to the
emergency, as always, mobilizing its
forces to relieve the suffering. Admiral
Cary T. Grayson, Its national head. Is
sued an appeal for a fund Of $3,OOO,OOO.
President Roosevelt also called for
this amount In a proclamation. Sec
