Stepped Trains
Although the storm failed 10
curtail train service from Sleepy
Eye another blizzard stopped
traffic from January 10 to 2S and
then, after the plows had cleared
the tracks, another blow drifted
the rails and no trains got
through until February 18. Ser
vice was also stopped for five or
six weeks from Morton to Water
town, South Dakota on the M &
st. L. Farmers, the aged photo
grapher related, were unable 10
drive to town with teams and
travelled on skis and snow shoes.
It's not so many years ago that
Mr.. Andersen can remember the
Minnesota river overflowing its
banks and doing considerable da-
mage to IS and livestock. The
coldest :, ,erature he has re-
corded il. his I6 years, from 1907
to 1912 and from 1925 to the pre-

December Dandelions
The octogenarian has seen
! many hard winters but the most
peculiar was in 1886 and 1887.
Up to the final day of December,
Mr.. Andersen recounts, Redwood
Falls had enjoyed almost Florida
climate. The grass was green and
dandelions were in bloom. The
Episcopal church was planning a
picnic for New Years day and
the real estate firm of Dunning-
ton and Warner had asked the
photographer to snap the group
III their summer finery for pub
Lefty in order to show the mild
Minnesota winter weather.
However, Mr.. Andersen's right
shoulder told him different.
'For years., Mr.. Andersen re-
lated when interviewed this week,

matism in my right shou' der and
every time a change in weather
was due, the shoulder would be-
gin to pain"
Toward sundown on that De-
cember 81, the wind shifted to
the northwest and black omni-
Gus cloud began to overcast the
sky from that direction.

continued, "the temperature had
dropped nearly the length of the

SUBSIDY ASKED
International News Service


A new and sweeping program
for an adequate merchant marine
and naval auxiliary will be intro
duced in the Senate today by Sen
ator Gibson (R) of Vermont.
The Gibson plan calls for con-
struction of q fleet of swift and
efficient government-owned ships
that may easily be converted into
fighting craft in an emergency.
Americanization of the personnel
of the merchant marine, and
strict rules and regulations for
safety at sea.
Senator Gibson declined to re-
veal the identity of the propo-
nents Of the bill, but indicated
they are representative Of East
ern and Western ship builders
and operators. and affiliateS of
the industry.
The bill would authorize the ap.
preparation of $500, 900, 900 to q
Federal. Maritime Commission as
an outright subsidy for inaugura-
ton of the program. The commits,
sion would absorb the Shipping
Board Bureau, the Shipping Board
Merchant Fleet Corporation, and
the Bureau Of Navigation and

Fresh Troops Called
To Tokyo Despite
Surrender

TOKYO, Feb. 27 QN.S0.
Japan's young army rebels sur
rendered today under the favor.
able terms Of a compromise agree
ment reached under the auspices
Of Emperor Hirohito himself.
The 5000 mutineers, partially
successful in a bold coup in which
they asSassinated five of the
country's foremost liberal leaders
and killed an estimated 80 others,
Immediately began evacuating
strategic positions that they had
held for two days.
The now-cloaked capital re-
mained tense, however, and mar.
tial Law continued with strict en-.
forcernent. Guns of the navy,S
biggest battleShips, anchored in
Tokyo Bay, were ready for action
If necessary.
Arms Not Surrendered
Terms of the compromise agree
ment, which many believed would
lead to establishment of military
FaSciSm in Japan, were not imme-
diately divulged, but it was clear
the rebels had voice in their
making.
The rebels did not promise to
surrender their arms, it was be-
lieved, although they did agree
that all mutinouS soldiers would
be back in their barracks by 8
a. m. tomorrow (6 p, M, Thurs
day, E. S. IT,.
The situation remained so crit
ical. despite the agreement, that
regular infantry troops were or
dered to proceed to Tokyo from
the provinces, which were quiet.
The cabinet of Provisional Pre-
mier Fumio Goto, who resigned
yesterday and assumed office
again today upon inSistence of the
Emperor. was held in virtual pro

the imperial household. It was
feared many on the original death

MAY FACE
CUSTER
impeachment Threat
Hangs Over Georgia
Chief Executive
BY WILLIAM J. GOOD

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 27 Q.N.SO
Threat of impeachment hung
over Gov. Eugene Talmadge to
day as he continued his efforts
in the face Of mounting diff
culties. to run the State without
an appropriation act.
The impeachment threat came
to light only a few hours after
the Fulton National Bank. one
Of the four State repositories
operating through the Atlanta
Clearing House, refused to honor
q 100000 check presented in
person by J. B "Tobe" Daniel
de facto State treasurer, who
was put into office early this
week by the chief executive.
Senators Study Law
According to Senator w. W.
Larsen, jr., Of Dublin. several Sen.
ators are studying the possibility
Of summoning a special session Of
the general assembly for the ex'
press purpose Of impeaching the
governor. Mr.. Larsen, who Is q
son Of former United States Rep
reSentative w. w. Larsen. said he
had been invited to participate in
the conferences
There was considerable dis
agreement a mong attorneys
whether the legislature could actu'
ally convene itself for impeach.
ment proceedings.
Meanwhile, a denial by Attor,
ney General M. B. YoemanS, that
he had ever informed the gov
ernor the State could be run legal
ly without an appropriation act
further complicated affairs.
Governor Talmadge cited an
opinion from the attorney gen.
eral in his proclamation that
1896 operations would be paid
for from past due appropriations.
It was the refusal of George
B. Hamilton and William B.
Harrison to abide by this pro.
clamation that prompted the
governor to oust them as State
treasurer and comptroller: general,
respectively, and appoint Mr.,
Daniel and g. B. Carreker in
their stead.
State Nearly Broke
Asserting that his ruling had
been "misconStrued," the attor
ney general declared:
81 have never advised any
one that the financial affairs
Of the State could be operated
legally and cOnstitutiOnalIy
without an appropriation act.
On the contrary, / have on
several occasions advised and
urged that the general assem-
bly, be called into session for
the purpose Of passing q gen.
eral appropriation act"

DELEGATION
FROM HILL
DEMAND
Army Holds Officers
Removal! Essential
For Discipline
International News servIc.


A congressional delegation rep
eeSenting both houses Of Congress
today failed to induce Secretary
OF War Dern to give any aSSur-
Ances he would m dify the
Army'S action in removing Maj.
Gen. johnson Hagood from his
command because of his out
spoken criticism of AdminiStra-
tion spending policies.
The delegation, heade' by Rep
reSentative McSwain, chairman
Of the House Military Affairs
Committee, and including Sena-
tor ByrneS of South Carolina,
Hagood's home State, and Rep
reSentative Blanton CD of
Texas, spent nearly two hours
trying to induce the Secretary
OF War and Gen. Malin Craig,
Chief Of Staff, to reinState Ha-
good or at least modify the order
removing him from his command
Of the Eighth Corps Area with
headquarters at Fort Sam Hous-
ton, Tex, and sending him home
to await orders"
Reluctant to Talk
Following the futile effort to
obtain any assurances from Sec
retary Dern that the action would
be modified, the members Of the
delegation were reluctant 70 talk
on leaving the conference.
Admitting that no assurances
had been received that anything
would be done in Hagood'S behalf,
Byrnes said: .
1--WE outlined our views to
both the Secretary and General
Craig. We told them that we
thought the action taken
against General HagOOd was too
severe and that he should be
reinstated or, at least, the order
modified in some way. They
listened to us, but did not give
any assurances that they would
do anything"
BLANTON LEAVES
Both McSwain and Blanton re.
fused any comment except to say
they had an informal talk.
Asked whether he considered the
meeting satisfactory or not" Nc
Swain replied:
~It's . nice day out, isn't it,"
It was pouring rain.
Blanton left the conference half
an hour before the other two men,
bers of the delegation. He carried
with him a number of letters which
he had written General Craig in
connection with the Hagood mat
ter and replies to them. He said:
'We had an informal talk.
That's all I want to say, and
that's all I'm going to say"
He refused to answer all other
questions as to what took place
In the conference and hastened
out the door to return to Capitol
Hill.

conference both Dern and Craig
explained they had felt obliged

ICE BREAKS,
POTOMAC
RISING
4-Foot Crest of Water
Tearing Down From
HarPer's Ferry

A flood crest of more than four
feet of water is moving down the
Potomac from Harpers Ferry TO-
day, following a four-day thaw
in the mountain tributaries, aug
mented by heavy rains in the
HagerStown region.
The official Weather Bureau
gauge at Harpers Ferry showed a
water level of 1916 feet at II
q. m, a rise of little more than
five feet since 8 a. m. The crest
of the flood has passed Cumber
land, however, where the gauge
fell an even foot in three hours.
Ice Breaks Up
The first rush of water through
the Potomac channel here at high
tide today, produced minor wash
overs at several low points. A
higher level is anticipated by
river authorities of the Weather
Bureau at hightide shortly after
midnight.
The ice broke with a roar early
today a short distance above Key
Bridge, sweeping downstream at
terrific speed after brief threaten
ing jams in the vicinity Of Lin
coin Memorial Bridge.
A special bulletin from the
Weather Bureaus flood section
shortly before noon predicted
steadily rising water levels around
washington during the next SO
hours.
Rising stages will continue
in the Potomac during the next
"a or 36 hours, going close to
bank-full at some points below
Harpers Ferry including prob
ably Washington and Sycamore
Island.

upon the movement Of the ice.
