The retention of Controller General
J. r. McCarl, who is due to step out
on June 80, is under consideration
by the administration, it was reported
yesterday.
The President, 1t was said in a
usually well-informed quarter, is sur

Carl by designating him acting"

debatable II there is sufiicient latitude
to do this under the law, which lin
its the term OF the controller general

McCarl is understood not to be anx-
ious to stay on and as matter OF
fact to have been unfavorable to
suggestions made from time to time
that the law creating the Office of
controller general be changed to keep
him in service. Whether he would
agree to remain Is problematical.
There never has been any intima-
ton as to his probable course after
June. Friends have always felt that
he would be interested in further Gov
ernment service-wherever it might
be-only If he felt there was field
for constructive work. Inasmuch as

LONDON, March 2l-With the
next move in European developments
up to Reichsfuehrer Hitler, officials of
the League of Nations said tonight
that the threat of immediate peril
has been removed from Europe.
They declared that the Leagues pos
sibilities as a new. stronger power for
peace had been increased by the re-
cent developments which included
Germany's remilitarization of the
Rhineland and the League Councils
subsequent decision that Germany had
violated both the Versailles and Lo-
carno treaties.
Oficial British quarters said that
now it was up to Hitler to make
counter proposals to the virtual ulti-
matum given him by Great Britain,
France, Belgium and Italy.
Those four nations which, with Ger
many, are the signatories of the Lo-
carno. pact. made a series of propo-
sitions to Germany under which they
believe the peace front, bent by treaty
violations, may be realigned.
Offers to Submit Pact.
Most important of these proposals,
from the broad international view
point, is Frances offer to submit her
military alliance pact with Soviet Rus
sia to the Court of International JUS

Citizens Of Washington have con-

i: All afternoon the creek had been
rising, at the rate of about IS inches
an hour. At dark it was rising still
faster. Still the waters were far below
the lowest home on the ramshackle
street that led down from the tan
merry.
Suddenly, about midnight, the can
nonading stopped. The debris Of logs
and fragments Of houses no longer
was battering against the bridge.
Sudden Silence Ominous.
Walter Bowman stepped out Of his

had been working constantly, moving

down the creek He was the leader OF
the little band of five from the COM
munity across the creek who had
taken into their own hands the work
of rescue and Of preparing for what
ever emergency might be in store.
The sudden silence was ominous to
Bowman. He served 16 months in
France When the artillery paused, he
remembered something usually hap
pened. OF course, this wasn't France
and it wasn't war-still it seemed like
warning.
Another of the rescue party came TO
the door with him.
They looked up to see the strangest
sky they ever had known-dead black
except for one bright blue patch di-
rectiy in the center of the heavens.
There wasn't star In it. The two
men couldn't see their hands q few
inches in front Of their eyes. The
silence and the weirdness of the night
were terrifying. says Bowman.
The other fellow turned to him, as
he relates the story. and said:

world. The Lords going to drop the
sky down on us"

be the end of the world-and then !

we could anyway. without waiting for

darkness. Bowman had a flash light,

Fears of added death and de-
struction today were being bal
anced against promises of speedy
and material aid from the Fed
eral Government and other
sources as 13 Northeastern States
rallied themselves wearily from
nearly a week of record breaking
floods and attempted to count
the costs.
The toll, mounting steadily as
accounting continued, amounted
last night to 1863 lives, with 221 SOC
persons homeless and property
damage conServatively placed at
$270,000,000. Loss to wage
earnerS and to retailers, together
with the eventual price of relief
and rehabilitation, may bring the
total money cost above $1,000,-

Fears of the immediate future
were centered on twin SpectreS-
new floods and disease.
