WALSH WARNS
OF TAXATION

The Rev. Edl4.und A. Walsh
S.J., vice president of Georgetown
University, quoted the writings
of Aristotle in warning that if
democracy degenerates, the next
state is dictatorship, in the sixth
Of his series OF lectures on Com
munism, Christianity, and De
mocracy" at CASTOR Hall last
night. In part, he said:
I'm the sixth book of the
Politics Aristotle advises demOc-
racy that, when revenues are
scant and a deficit exists in the
budget, there shuold be few
public assemblies. This sounds
like a warning to get Congress
out of the way at such a time
lest it ruin the state by taxes,
cOnfiScatiOns and fines.
But with almost Superhu.
man foresight he adds that at
such times the courts of justice
should exercise firm and exten.
Sive jurisdiction. This sounds
like a warning never to permit
the powers of the Supreme
Court to be curtailed."

GAS IMPER|LS
WILKESBARRE

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March 81
G.N.SO.-A new menace, mine gas
arose today to threaten residents
of this city, already plagued by a
district epidemic of scarlet fever
and diphtheria and engulfed by
nearly 10 feet of flood water that
has taken a toll of at least II lives
to date.
Fatalities of the flood in this
area increased by four when two
men, Vix Smetro, WilkeSbarre, and
John Kulowski, Plains Township
were drowned and two others died
one of exposure and the other from
shock.
A state of emergency was de-
clared by Sheriff William Thomas
when two homes were blown up
during the night by mine gas, in
juring two persons. The official
order bans all gathering and re
stricts traffic.
With high water a constant
health menace, serum was being
rushed here to start vaccinations
and halt the epidemic. Cases oi
scarlet fever and diphtheria were
reported at nearby Hanover Town
ship, while the Kingston Legion
Home was evacuated because OF
the disease threat. Evacuation OF
other public buildings has been ar
ranged.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, March 81 q.
N.SD.-Threats that a pneumonia
epidemic may develop after a sud
den snowfall that Swirled over
flood-ridden Johnstown as the mer.
curry sank below freezing cast new
terror into the hearts of the thou
sands of flood victims here today
Latest estimates of the dead in
the greater Johnstown section rose
to 80 today as Red Gross, National
Guardsmen. and relief workers
pdunged into the task Of providing
shelter from the snow and cold for
10000 homeless.
Appeals were made to all school
and church officials in the higher
sections of the city to heat their
buildings to care for the homeless.
Johnstown was without gas and
electricity. Those whose homes
yet remained found their furnaces
either swept away or incapacitated.
Although there was wood and coal
for fuel, there were few stoves.
Teror-haunted inhabitants were
given new assurance today that all
danger to the Quemahoning Dam,
the large dam above the city, had
passed.

Secretary of the Navy Claude A.
swanson had a comfortable night
and is slightly improved" today
at Naval Hospital. Following a
relapse Thursday from an attack
of pleurisy, the Secretary was

time was under an oxygent tent.
He will be confined in the hospital
another two weeks, it was said.
At Garfield Hospital, where
Senator William Gibbs McAdoo
CD of California is recovering
from a minor operation, his condi-
ton was described as very good"
It is expected he will be able to
resume his duties in the Senate in
a few days.
Senator Park Trammell Cd
of Florida, who yesterday was
under the care of DR.. George w.

AIR, SEA CRASH
PR0BEV0TED

The Senate yesterday appropri
ated $4,000 for new inquiry into
charges that inefficiency in the
Commerce Department Air and
Steamship bureaus may have
caused major disasters in the last
two years.
The charges on which the
Senate acted are before a com
merce subcommittee and deal
especially with the Moro Castle
catastroDhe and the air transport
crash at Atlanta. Mo-, in which
Senator Bronson Cutting was
killed.
Action came after statements
yesterday before the subcommit
tee that the air commerce opera
ton of 1adio beams and other
safety aids at times was 100 pei
cent inefficient.
These were made by Jay A
Mount, former chief of mainte
nance, who also testified under
oath that he warned the bureau
fl re days before the death Of Cut
ting that disasters were "impend
ing" under then existing opera
tion.
Mounts charges followed re
cent statements by Commander
H. Mccoy Jones, of the Bureau
of Steamship Inspection, that the
Moro Castle disaster might have
been averted with proper eff
cheney" in the bureau.

The Capital was still without air
service, Washington Airport still
being covered with water, while
Boiling Field and the Naval Air
Station we're quagmires. 1t was
believed it will be another week
or more Lefore the fields are dried
out sufficiently to permit heavy
planes to take off and land. Air
mail and passengers are now being
landed at Baltimore.
Rail Service Crippled
Railroad service, still badly Grip
pied with more than 100 miles of
track washed out in the Potomac
Basin, was being resumed today.
Spurs and branch lines were being
used to get through, resulting in
service being delayed.
With highways now free from
water, bus service was resumed
again, but schedules were slow,
due to damaged roads and detourS
made necessary by bridges being
washed out.
Crews of men were at work at
old Chain Bridge, which was dam
aged by the flood, and while it is
hoped to have the bridge open
Monday, engineers today were
planning on survey to determine
if the spans had been weakened
by the terrific pounding of The As
foot flood crest which swept over
the floor of the bridge.

health officer, reiterated today

HOUSE TO SEEK
RENTC0NTR0L

Another attempt will be made
in the House Monday to obtain
passage of the Ellenbogen bill for
regulating rents in the District.
The bill was the unfinished busi-
ness Of the District Committee on
District Day in the House two
weeks ago when a filibuster led by
Representative Tom Blanton CD
Of Texas, prevented a vote.
Representative Mary T. Norton
CD of New Jersey, chairman Of
the District Committee, said TO-
day, however, that she will make
every effort TO secure a vote on
the measure Monday, adding that
in her opinion a large majority of
the House is friendly to the leg
islation. The Texas member is
expected to renew his obstruction
ist tactics.
1t also is hoped by Mrs. Nor.
ton that the House will approve
a bill reported by her committee
to eliminate the fee service
method of financing the opera
tion Of the office Of the boiler
inspector for the District.
Tuesday the fiscal affairs sub
committee of the District Com
mittee will open hearing on a bill
sponsored by Mrs. Norton to au.
thorize an appropriation of $780,.
900 for a separate building for
the recorder of deeds for the Dis
trict. The Commissioners are
opposed to the measure.

with several inches of mud and
making traffic hazardous.
While more than 1000 men
toiled to clear the streets in the
flooded area, surveys were under
way to determine the amount Of
damage done by the flood in the
Capital. There were estimates
that the damage may exceed $780,
900.
At the Navy Yard. which is
closed down until Monday, DAM
age will be at least 100000 it was
said, with delicate machinery
ruined. electric wiring badly dam
aged. supplies destroyed and prac-
tically every building in the lower
yard in need of painting and re-
pairs.
It will take another 100000
perhaps more-to repair the dam
ages to the Capitols park system,
park office officials said following
a preliminary survey trip.
The fate of the famed japanese
cherry trees is still in doubt.
While the waters had receded to-
day, the roots of the trees were
still covered with thick slime and
mud, which may kill the trees,
experts said, and scores of men
today we're detailed to clear the
trees in the hope they will be
saved. It can not yet the de-
termined if the flood will prevent
the trees from blossoming in the
next few weeks.
100 Houses Swept Away
The amount of damage to pri-
vately owned buildings is difficult
to estimate. More than 100 small
houses along the river have been
swept away. Scores of boats, house
boats, canoes, Yachts, and other
craft were wrecked or badly dam
aged. Boat houses and clubs along
the river were carried away.
Industrial establishments in
Georgetown were inundated to a
depth of six feet or more and Suf-
fered considerable damage, as did
the business section along Water
Street Southwest.
Harbor police, who we're kept
busy recovering boats and other
properly carried down the stream,
reported that the river current was
still swift today and that the river
was at least three feet above nor
NAL. 1t was estimated that it will
be tomorrow before the normal
stage is reached.
Dykes Left Up
While reports from up the
river indicated that the rainfall
is heavy, it has not caused the
rivers to rise. Parks officials
decided, however, to leave the
emergency dykes, which saved
downtown Washington and the
Federal Triangle from being
flooded, standing until Monday.
Meanwhile movements were un-
der way to save the Capital
from a repetition of the flood
danger. Col. Daniel I. Sultan,
District Engineer Commissioner,
toured the river front yesterday
and suggested that permanent
levees could be erected withou;
affecting the beauties Of the
parks. and pointed out that such

President Roosevelt postponed
his scheduled trip to the South
two days because of the flood
emergency. He was expected to
leave some time today after being
assured that relief masureS were
well under way.
Meanwhile, a fresh drive was
launched in Congress to enact
a series of bills, calling for an
expenditure of $1,000, 100000 on
flood control and other waterway
projects.
The drive gained momentum,
because some of the projects
listed might well have prevented
