Continued from Page 1.) 100000 army proposal and the $272,- 100000 measure sponsored by Sem ator John H. Overton, democrat. Louisiana, to protect the Mississippi river valley.
 The army program, if adopted, would include a $15,000,000 emer- gency fund to be allotted by the secretary of war for rescue work, repairs to flood control works and various river Improvements. How ever, improvements could not be sanctioned unless local interests agreed to bear 8 Ia per cent of the cost.
 Included in the projects was an allotment of $l3,370,00O for reser- voirs in the Connecticut river basin and $33,000,000 for dams and levees in eastern Pennsylvania and south- ern New York.

 All excesses have been and will be dealt with in the severest pos" sible manner"
 Ritual Slaughter
 With regard to the government bill regulating ritual slaughter, Julius Poniatowski, minister of agri- culture, was quoted as explaining that the meat trade in Poland is controlled by an unofficial trust, and that the Christian population is compelled to purchase the meat of ritually slaughtered animals and bear the financial and other burd- ems of such a system. ..,.
 The government, he said, did not demand the unconditional abolition of ritual sle Inter, but it must be limited to consumption needs of the religious communities. Thus, he said religious requirements would be satisfied, the meat trade nor malized and Christians enabled to have their own kind of meat, just as the Jews and Mohammedans would have theirs.

REST OF DIONNES
 TO ENTER MOVIES

Hollywood. March 26.-(UP)- Success of the Dionne quintuplets as motion picture actresses today led Universal studio to disclose plans for a picture featuring MT. and Mrs. Oliva Dionne and the five brothers and sisters of the quints. Universal hopes to duplicate he suc- cess of "The Country Doctor" which is crossing fortune for 20th Gen. tury Fox. The new Dionne drama will be entitled, Where Are My Children?" The story will be based on the domestic dislocation caused by the removal of the quintuplets from their parents home to the wardship of the British crown and the Canadian government.
 Charles R. Rogers, production chief at Universal, explained that the picture would give a sympa- thetic slant on the position of the parents. The story is being writ ten by Lillian Barker who has been in close touch with the Dionnes for the past few week and who accom- panied them on recent trip to New York.

HE ADVOCATED
 VERY SMALL DAMS

Washington, March 26-CUP)- Two government agencies actively engaged in flood control work-the army engineering corps and the reclamation bureau--today challeng- cd statements of Morris L. Cooke, rural identification administrator, that large dams would prove inef- fective in checking flood damage. Cooke, testifying before the senate subcommittee on agriculture, pre- dicted big reservoirs would "fill'with silt within short time" He advo- cated a series of small dams.
 Reclamation officials estimated the Colorado river, a stream carry ing an unusually high content of silt, wouldn't fill up the lake be- hind Boulder Dam in 150 years" Construction engineers of both fed- eral agencies admitted Cooke's sr11all-dan plan would be of some help" But they said 1t would take several thousand" of the little pro- jects on the Ohio river alone.

 Would Not Elaborate
 He would not elaborate on the subject but it was assured he re- ferred to the question of nail holes in the celebrated Trail 16" of the kidnap ladder, which wood expert for the state maintained came from the Hauptmann attic.
 Means Did It. He Says
 Meantime, statement from Cas- ton B. Means, former department of justice agent, saying that Haupt- mann is innocent and that Means himself made the ladder was made public today by Paul c. Clancy, publisher of the American Astro- logy Magazine. Means is serving a term in federal prison at Leaven- worth for taking $104,000 from Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean of Washing ton in a false ransom negotiations for the Lindbergh baby.
 The statement accredited to Means said that he made the ladder weeks before the Kidnapping and offers to prove this through the lumber yard where the material was purchased.
 Department of justice agents in Washington branded Means "con- fession" as an effort to gain ten- porary freedom.
 Wilentz Very Bitter Attorney General WilentZ was annoyed that Hoffman had to make the visit to the Hauptman home and the few words he spoke to re- porters were in an angry tone.
 T won't say Q word until I've heard what the governor has to say" Wilentz exclaimed angrily as he came from Hauptmann's former home. .
 Informed of the governors state- ment, Wilentz said:
 T can only say that this mission is not 8 proper one, l came along only to protect state police during questioning by the governor"
 One of the mysterious moves made by the governor was his sending Legay from the house to get a car- penter.
 The carpenter apparently was en- gagged to cut out 8 section of the attic floor for two state troopers later carried out such a section and strapped 1t to Wilentzs car.

BOOTLECCERS IN
 FLOODED ZONES

Haverhill, Mass, March 26-(UP)
 Charging that bootleggers from Lawrence and other nearby commu- uities were flooding this flood-torn city with liquor, the Haverhill health board today lifted the ban on local liquor sales. The mayor and licensing commission closed liquor stores here last Friday as a flood emergency measure. These authorities wished to keep liquor sales suspended indefinitely, but the | alth board intervened today be- cause of alleged activities of outside liquor interests. Under the health boards ruling, liquor stores will be open from 12 noon to p. m. to- day, and from a. m. to 6 p. m. thereafter until further notice.

Added to the damage to roads, bridges and houses, has been the loss of mer- chandise in mills and stores. In many cases machinery has been damaged and foundations made in- secure so that it will be several weeks before some mills reopen Trade in the unaffected areas went forward in good volume.
 The demand for women's woolen suitings increased, but mems lines were slow. Closing of mills was partly responsible for the dullness of the local wool market. Prices, however, were firm.
 Wool tops were slow with future quotations slightly higher. Mohair prices have risen considerably dur ing the year, and the market re- mained firm. Fore. gn wools continue to be imported in large quantities. Demand from carpet manufacturers was light and yarn production was further restricted by the flood!
 Gray goods were flrmer and there was an increased call for spot de- liveries of staple lines of finished cottons. Few cotton mills were af- fected by the floods but there was little buying of raw cotton. Cotton yarns were slow with prices easier.
 The Rayon business continued active. Silks sold well, as the mar ket emerged from the dulness of the last few weeks. Manufacturers received an increased volume of

 Regular steamships, also trains and airplanes, are usually avail able to movie companies without cost when they're in harbors. sta- tions, or fields. But standard pas senger rates are charged for every member of the company when trip Is taken.

 When the army or the navy is called on for help in producing an epic, influence counts more than cash. Every studio has a couple of cx-politicians who know the right people to sec about getting a couple of dcstroyers and a fleet of planes.
 One company ,las location manager. 6 former minor govern ment official, who boasts that he can produce anything from regi- ment of infantry to . fiotiila of submarines on 24 hours notice. Donations Welcomed Of course it's customary, when you're borrowing an army post or a fleet squadron for a few days, to make contribution to the mess fund. Makes for better feeling on who can't be directly remunerated for their scting.
 Studios also pay for fuel con- sumed, and, in the case of war ships under steam, this item mounts up astonishingly.
 When fire trucks are borrowed. or squads of police. the accepted practice is to donate a tidy sum to the funds for their widows and orphans.
