climb up there.
IF that doesn't work I don't
know what I'll do"

Trained Disaster Workers
Rushed to Stricken
Zones.
FEDERAL AGENCIES AID

Funds, Food and
Clothing.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March RI.
Doctors, nurses and trained
disaster workers were rushed
to food-stricken areas today
to prevent outbreak of seri-
GUS epidemics among more
than 100000 persons driven
from their homes.
President Roosevelt, remaining in
Washington to direct Federal agen-
cies aiding in relief, hoped relief
organization would be sufficiently
perfected to permit his leaving late
today on his delayed vacation.
He placed WPA and CCC facili-
ties, the Army, Navy and Coast
Guard at the disposal of relief di-
rectors. who were given blanket au-
thority to use men and money as
needed.
Typhoid Serum Rushed
The Red Cross sent more than
$50 disaster relief workers into a
dozen states while thousands OF
volunteers solicited contributions tc
a 100000 fund to finance f1ooo
relief. Clothing, food and medicine
were needed in many places.
DR.. William F. Draper, acting sur
geon general of the United States
Public Health Service, dispatched Il
physicians and sufficient typhoid
serum to treat 5000 persons into
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Scattered rains over portion Of
the Southern flood area caused new
fears today. The Shenandoah Riv.
er was rising again in Virginia, bu
the situation was not critical.
Montrose w. Hayes, chief of The
Weather Bureaus river and f1oot
division, warned that the Ohio Riv.
er would be at flood stage for al
least another week before the crest
moved into the Mississippi River
There appears little likelihood of &
repetition of the disastrous 1922
flood, however, he said.

WORLD FARLEY
PROSPECTS DIM
Map Conference to Include
Only Five Locarno
Pact Powers.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
LONDON, March 21.--Prospect of
world conference on economic and
financial matters as part OF a peace
consolidation program faded today
into the most remote future.
A high British authority disclosed
that a conference planned by the
Locarno Treaty powers in May
would lnciods only the Locarno
powers-Gr Britain, France, Bel
GUM, Italy and Germany.
If this conference succeeded, then
only would a general assemblage of
nations be convened to study world
problems.
Prospects for a compromise among
the Locarno powers on the propos-
ais made to Germany by Britain,
France, Belgium and Italy increased
materially today.
After the revelation by Joachim
Won Ribbentrop, chief German dele
gate here, that Germany would con-
slider an appeal to the Hague Court
on the compatibility of the Locarno
and French-Russian military trea-
ties, a British spokesman let it be
known that France has not fatty re-
fused to permit international troops
to be stationed on her soil.
Hence the possibility was forseen
of extending a narrow demiliSarized
zone on either side of the French
Belgian, German frontiers. Such a
zone, if fixed, woulc endure only for
two months, a British spokesman
said, and would be ended at once if
the Locarno negotiators at their
May conference succeeded in attain
ing an agreement. AS soon as the
agreement was made Germany
would return to the League.

men, escaped from dread Devils
Island penal colony in French

find themselves a country.
Gaunt, half-starved, the five

cape from the colony and an 800
mile trip up the coast. One of
them is Henri LIE Clerq, once a
journalist and playwright in
Paris.
Authorities could not bring
themselves to return the refugees,
but could not permit them to re-
main here. They were fed and
housed under police supervision.
A BOAT was prepared. Yester-
L N day they were given pro-
visions for 81 days. The constab-
ulary launch Nemesis towed them
five miles to sea, cut them
adrift.
A few minutes later there were
cries for help. The launch re-
turned, to find the refugees boat
filling rapidly. Police angrily al
legged that the refugees opened
seams, risking their lives in an
effort to make themselves home
here. But they we're brought back
here.
4 Police made the boat seaworthy,
and were ready this morning to
take it out again.
The refugees are expected to
make for Haiti, 1o45 miles away.

 The battle for control of the banks of the ManzanAre river that form e sort of outer boundary on Madrid's 8 western and southern sides contin. ues to be fought bitterly.
