While Congress continued to
wrestle with his court reorganiZa-
ton proposal, President Roosevelt
packed his bags today preparatory
to heading South tonight for the
Gulf Of Mexico and a two-week
fishing cruise.
The President was in good spirits
as he assembled the fishing tackle
with which he hopes to catch a
variety of game fish. The White
House continued to express con.
fidence that ultimately the Execu-
tive will win his court fight-al-
though it may be we'll into the
summer before a vote is reached.
Mr.. Roosevelt's special train
will leave here late tonight for
New Orleans, where the White
House yacht, Potomac, and three
destroyers are waiting to take him
on his spring jaunt off the Texas
coast.
To Visit Davis Home
En- route south, a stop will be
made at Biloxi, Miss. from which
point the President will motor to
Gulfport before reboarding his
train. pausing for a visit at JEFF
ferson Davis home.

second son, who will accompany

age
The same homes were inundated
to their roof-tops, the same barns
were battered and much of the
live stock was fighting desperately
for safety on higher ground.
The same populace at Point of
Rocks, Md, that last year watched
the bridge connecting that COM
munity with the Virginia shore
go out, stood by in beWilderment
today as they watched a new
bridge go down stream before the
boiling torrent of water and debris.
Extreme Drama
From my air-lane balcony the
show was one of extreme drama
and pathoS, with the audience
completely awed by the strangely
potent performance being staged
before them.
At noon, the crest of the flood
was still to reach the lower Poto-
mac valley-betWeen Harpers
Ferry and Washington-but even
then the river had pushed its
muddy boundary far back into
the fertile farmlands that line the
Potomac's normal course.
Cattle Run Loose
Cattle, horse and other farm
animals have apparently been
freed from their home pastures
to flee independently to the sur
rounding hills. Many are wander
ing along country roads. Farms
as far as mile from the normal
river bank are inundated, with
the families sitting with a few of
their belongings on high ground
awaiting what ever fate the ap-
preaching crest of the flood will
mete out to them.
One farmer whose livestock had
taken refuge atop a large hay
stack, was rescuing sheep in a
roWboat as The Times plane sur
veyed the area near Point of
Rocks. Horses and cows atop the
haystack semed doomed unless be
could obtain a heavier boat or
barge.
Railway Abandoned
The mainline railroad that Dor
ders the river between Point of
Rocks and Cumberland-replaced
in large sections after last years
flood Spectacle-was again aban-
doned to a doubtful fate today as
small leVeeS gave WaV before tne
pressing tons of flood water.
A railroad signal tower above
Point of Rocks apparently aoout
IS feet in height was visible only
at its very top today.
There is no evidence of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal above

form part of the vast ribbon of

Former Teacher and

Hot words flew between District
Attorney Leslie C. Garnett and

son in the trial of Mrs. Mary
Krieger, former Oklahoma school
teacher, and Samuel L. Frooks,

Congressional candidate, in United
States District Court today as Jus
tice F. Dickinson Let's overruled
motions for directed verdicts.
The Government closed its re-
buttal testimony shortly before
noon and Defense Attorneys Berk.
son and J. j. McGinness immedi-
ately asked the court to direct YER
diets Of not guilty.
Points to Claim
Ftooks and Mrs. Krieger,
charged with conspiring to black
mail the late Carroll Pierce, Alex
andria, Va, banker, had a valid
and legitimate claim against
Pierce, Berkson said, arising out
Of Pierce's refusal to give Mrs.
Krieger a lifetime job in his bank
under an alleged contract. The
evidence was stolen, he said, at
the time of FrookS' arrest and he
severely castigated the procedure
of the local courts which, he
claimed, permitted the United
States Attorneys office to inter-
vene to defeat a valid civil claim.
Garrett interrupted:
'NO one has kept you from
prosecuting your claim"
BerkSon replied:
"There can be no more eft.
fective way of stopping prOsecu-
ton of a claim than by stealing
the evidence"
Garrett, raising his voice, re-
piled:
you're not out of Washing
ton yet"
Berkson, his face livid with
anger, screamed:
els that a threat or q prom
iSe?"
ORDER RESTORED
Justice Let's restored order, and
Berkson continued his arguments
for a directed verdict.
The petitions of counsel for spe-
cial instructions to the jury were
disposed of before the noon re-
cess, and final arguments are ex-
pected to be completed before the
close of the afternoon session.
It may be that FrooKs and Mrs.
Kreiger will know their fate before
night.
