Ouer so Dead As Storms Strike Nation
Laval Cabinet
Collapse Is Due
Late This Week

PARIS, Jan. 20. (UP)-Col-
lapse of the Laval cabinet imme-
diately after the premier's return
from Geneva about Wednesday
became a certainty today.
The radical Socialist executive
committee adopted an "order of
day" leaving five radical Social
ist ministers no alternative ex-
cept to follow Edouard Herriot,
minister without portfolio, in re-
signing from the cabinet.
Laval, master politician, may
attempt to plug the holes and
face parliament, but with his gov
eminent so riddled he would be
certain to be overthrown.
However, the entire cabinet
may resign at the same time, in
which case the swarthy, little
premier may attempt to form an
other coalition, including moder-
ates and radical Socialists who
are resigning from their party,
such as Marchandeau.

DIXIE STORM
Damage Reported In Pied
mont And East Carolina;
Power Co. Feels 1t

CHIPLEY, Fla, Jan. 20. (UP)
Eight persons were killed and at
least 40 injured Saturday night
when three tornadoes ripped
across the Florida-Alabama bor-
der with savage fury.
Scores of homes were demol-
ished and hundreds made home
less by the storms. The destruc-
ton was centered in a rural area
| 20 miles south of here and near
| Cottonwood, little Alabama town
near Dothan, Ala.
Six persons were killed instant
ly in the rural section south of
here. Nearly a dozen were brought
TO hospitals here with critical in
juries.
Two were dead near Cotton
wood and Skipperville, Ala. Sew
eral other persons were believed
dying.
The known dead:
Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Dykes and
their four children ranging in age
from two to eight years, farmers
20 miles south of here.
A woman named Mathis, who
died in a hospital at Dothan, af-
ter being crushed by debris of her
home near Skipperville.
A baby named Pelham, found
dead in debris of home near
Cottonwood.
Property damage will run into
thousands of dollars. J. Ross Da-
Wis, chairman Of the Washington
county Red Cross, appealed for
outside aid in radiocast when
injured overlooked wards of the
hospital and Jail here.
The eight deaths in the lorna
does brought the south's week
end death toll from storms to Is.
Four died at Fyffe, Ala, Satur-
day when a tornado struck. About
a dozen were injured. One man
was killed at Mobile, Ala, when
he was struck by lightning. Five
negroes died when a twister de-
molishcd their homes at Edison,
Ga.
A blizzard which blew up in
Alabama last night added to suf-
fering in the Fyffe, Ala, tornado
area.
A score of homes were demol-
ished and families were forced to
find shelter from the biting wind
in homes of neighbors. A relief
party, headed by State Represen-
tative r. l.. Tolbert of Fl. Payne,
was forced to turn back by snow
choked roads, as it sought to
bring food and medicine to the
tornado refugees.
Although the tornadoes struck
at 7 p. m. Saturday night, rescue
parties did not penetrate into the
heart of the devastated district
until nearly noon today.
They found scene of desola-
ton. Homes were leveled and
household furnishings were scat
tered over the countryside. Survi-
vors were administering first aid
to the more seriously injured.
Mr.. and Mrs. RUDE Street and
their seven children, were brought
to a hospital here in a grave con-
dition. Trapped in their home,

SANDRINGHAM, England, Jan.
20. (UP)-King George today lay
between life ana death in the
great fourposter bed of his sick
room in Sandringham house APP
preaching a definite crisis. As
his physicians and nurses anxious
ly watched his labored breathing
an emergency meeting of the
privy council was held to name a
council Of state to act for him.
The council will conduct affairs
of state for the stricken King,
making his signature to state do
cuments unnecessary.
The council of state compri-
ses Jueen Mary and their four
royal sons, the Prince of Wales
and Dukes of York, Gloucester and
Kent. The council was named
soon after an official announce
ment which indicated there had
been no real change in the kings
condition in 36-hours. 1t said
"His Majesty the King had more
restful night. There is no sub
stantial change to record in His
Majesty's condition"
Four members of the privy coun-
ell came to Sandringham by train
from London today-Sir John
Simon, home secretary, whose
duty it is too be in the sick room
when a king dies; Ramsey Mac
Donald, lord president Of the
council; Lord Hailsham, the lord
high chancellor, and Sir Maurice
Hankey, clerk Of the council.
They Joined three councillors
already here-the archbishop OF
Canterbury, the head of the
Church of England and the kings
old, dear friend, the Lord Daw-
son, of Penn, the kings physician
in ordinary since 1907.
Then came the first grim re-
minder that q king is more than L
man, that he is symbol of the
unity that unites kingdom or an
empire.
An order in council had been
drafted creating the council of
state to act for the king.
Sir John Simon, Ramsey Mac
Donald and Viscount Hailsham
took up posts in the doorway be-
tween the kings private sitting
room and the bedroom where be-
hind a double barrier of screens
he labored for breath.
Lord Dawson of Penn, the ply
sician, took his stand at the kings
side.
Hankey, clerk to the council,
was nearby.
Macdonald handed the order in
council to Hankey-the lord presi-
dent of the privy council to its
clerk.
Hankey advanced to the bedside
and handed the order in council:
Dawson leaned over the bedside
and put the paper on the covers:
He took the kings weak hand and
guided it as the king weakly
scrawled his signature, George
RI" at its foot.

iva DECISION GOES OVER FOR
2 WEEKS; NO DECREE TODAY

At the same time government
attorneys asked the high court to
reconsider its action of a week
ago in the Rice millers' test case
which cost the government $780,
100000 in uncollected taxes.
Answer to the Talmadge suit
was filed in accordance with di-
rections of the court to answer
the case today.
1t is an original action by the
state of Georgia. The dismissal
motion, charged that the bill of
complaint filed at Talmadge's d.
rection failed to state the facts
giving the court the proper juris-
diction in the Rice case. The ad-
ministration asked rehearing of
the previous decision and remind
ed the court that in the rice cases
themselves an injunction against
the tax had been denied by both
lower courts. .--.. /
