Indiana FLOOD
END DUE SOON
Ohio Crest Moves Toward
Mississippi; State DAN
ger Lessons. :.

Flood dangers for Indiana cities
bordering the Ohio River are eX-
pected to epd the first of next week
as the crest moves toward Cairo,
Ill, and the Mississippi.
New flood waters reported today
on the upper reaches of the Ohio

neared a crest of IS feet. Madison
reported a 51-foot level with an adj
ditional foot expected before waters
recede. Summer cottages at Han
over Beach, near Madison, were in
undated.
Fifteen Cannelton families were
compelled to leave their homes. At
Evansville, WPA crews moved 200
families out of flooded areas. The
Dade Park race track was bulwarked
by earth and sandbags, but fear was
expressed that the island track
might be inundated.
Relief Fund Is Boosted
Contributions from church or
CARNATIONS today boosted the
Marion County Red Cross fund for
flood sufferers to $17,77349.
I'VE will need several thousand
more contributions to raise the

CALLS PARD0NS COURT:
OMEN REFUSE TO REOPEN CASE:
BRUNO IS CONFIDENT OF REPRIEVE
Jersey Chiefs Plea Turned
Down by Department
of Justice.
MEANS STORY DOUBTED
Confession Reported Basis
of Appeal to U. S.
Officials.

Copyright. 1885. by United Press
WASHINGTON, March %.
The Department of Justice
has rejected & personal appeal
from Gov. Harold G. Hoffman
of New Jersey that it re-enter
the Lindbergh kidnapping case.
Had the request been granted, it
was said, the action undoubtedly
would have been followed by an
other reprieve for Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, convicted kidnap-slay-
er of the infant son of Col. and
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh.
The appeal, which was made
Sunday, was said to have been
based on the purported COMES
sion" letter of Castor B. Means
from his cell in Federal peniten-
tiary, together with other evidence
Gov. Hoffman claimed to have un-
covered.
Justice Department officials, how
ever, maintained the "hands-off'
policy adopted nearly two years age
when Federal agencies were with
drawn from the case following a
reported controversy with New Jer-
sey authorities.
Other efforts were made during
the week to persuade those in COM
mand of the Justice Department
during the vacation of Atty. Gen
Homer S. Cummings that the de-
partment should re-enter the case
All such efforts were unsuccessful
1t was pointed out that it would
be possible for Cummings to order
a reversal of the department
stand when he returns from his
Florida trip Monday, but that is
particularly unlikely in view of his
numerous assertions that the de-
partment will not be drawn into
the matter again.
1t was believed the New Jersey
Governor made his unsuccessful
appeal in an effort to find cause
for second reprieve for the stolid
German. The Means confession, u
however, failed to impress wash
ington authorities. They place
little or no credence in anything
Means might say.

erhoods shows SIS Senator's pledged

AUTO FIRMS TURNING
TO FLVvER PLANES
Five Companies Reported
Working on Pr ms.
Copyright. 1885, by United Press

WAOI1llNI yin, MdICll 20. -
American automobile manufactur-
ers are working on plans to put or
binary automobile engines into
"flivver" airplanes to be sold at low
cost to the average man, the United
Press was informed today on reli-
able authority.
At least five companies are re-
ported interested. They were I'M
derstood to be the Ford Motor Co.,
General Motors, Graham Paige,
ChrySler and Hudson.
The significance of the studies,
according to aviation experts, lies
in the ability of big automobile con-
Germs to swing into mass production
of small, cheap planes whenever
their experiments make such action
feasible.
Some experts said that such a
plane could be sold so cheaply that
the number of aircraft in the
United States probably would be
quadrupled within a short time.
