 Labor Is On March
 Labor Is on the march, said Lewis in Washington. "We'll fight until we win. We'll make Sloan and his crowd come to our terms which is recognition of the union as the sole bargaining agent of General Motor employees" President Roose- welt administered what generally was regarded as 8 rebuke to the busy -haired c. I. o. chief. Asked to comment on Lewis statement that he should come to the aid of the strikers, the president said: "Of course, I think In the interest of peace, there come moments when statements, conversation and head lines are not in order"
 Statement of Sloan
 Before dispatching his aides back to the strike area, Sloan issued this statement: "The present deadlock cannot go on indefinitely. Our men wish to work. They are prevented by 8 small group of sit-down strik- CTS and their leaders, who, are will ing to jeopardize the coutltry's re- covery in order to impose dictator ship on our industry and on our people.
 "Our duty is. plain. We have 8 re- gponsibility to our employees. This strike is costing the employees of General Motors a million dollars a day in wages. Our duty to them ia to do everything possible to save them from further loss of income and from being thrown on relief.
 "The situation must be solved and I am sure that a way will be found to solve 1t Fundamentally in the near future. In the meantime, SC far as our ability to carry inventory will permit, every effort will be made to afford as much work as possible to our employees who are out of work through no fault ot their own."

Snow, Cold Hit Hard


 Snow, Cold Hit Hard
 Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 23.-(UP). --Snow and freezing temperatures acded today. to the suffering of thousands Inarconed in the food racaEed n1id-south basin as the Mississippd and its tributaries roar. a toward the greatest nood crests in history.
 At least 10 were dead. Farm lands were destroyed. Levyees cracked and hrroke under the battering of the Icy waters. Men, women and chil- dren were without shelter in north. east Arkansas, southeast Missouri, West Tennessee, and East Missis- bippi. At least 10000 were homeless. National giiArdsrnerl patrolled the arc. with orders to shoot to kill" anyone attempting sabotage. Levee patrols abandoned hope of saving the levee near Devalls Mlu7, Ark, i ounded. by the White river, and evacuated.
 Charles Mickey, WPA engineer at Cardwell, Mo, reported that the city fcaed a food and coal shortage. There were no fresh meats, he said. Plans were made to replenish the supply by boat.
 Five lives were lost last night, five earlier. Carl Hunt, 90, of Mig Lake, Ark, weary after long struggle against the rising waters, sat down while on levee patrol, fell asleep and was frozen to death. Clyde Davis, 22-year-old Hunting don, Tenn, farmer, was drowned when he fell from a moving arn- bulance and rolled into river near lis home.
 Ea:i Kilgore, 35, of Jasper, Tenn, was killed when his car struck a culvert and plunged into swollen stream.
 Two unidentified men were drowned.
 Continued cold, forecast for to- night and Sunday, was expected to keep snow from melting and pre- vent any unexpected rise in the river.
 The drowning of Harry Vaske, 47, a carpenter, was reported here to- day. He fell into the flood water near his home. About 35,000 persons had left their flooded homes in Greater Cincinnati. Of this number, 15,00O were in the northern Kentucky su- burbs.
 The union terminal was closed as train service stopped.
 Total January rainfall here was 1098 inches, a new record.
 Devereaux said rapid recession of the river might not begin for week.
 All downtown hotels were filled to capacity last night. The flood and icy streets kept many subur- banites from going home. The bottoms" up to Third street was under water. Only the hangar tops were showing above the wa ter at Lunken airport. Utility officials said electric serv- ice probably would be uninterrupt- ed if the river did not rise above 73 feet.
 Public schools were ordered closed for week beginning Monday.
 Ten Red Cross stations operated on 24 hour basis, gave shelter to 900 persons. Thousands more were given food. g'7 Two hundred policemen did 12- l hour duty in the flood zone. There were l0 police boats.

 Flint Alliance Busy
 The Flint Alliance, an organiza- ton of General Motors workers and business leaders opposed to the strike. prepared to call a mass meet ing of non-union sympathizers to formulate 8 program to force evac- uation of plants held by sit-down strikers.

Their Best Early-Season
Record in Years.

A NNAPOLIS. Md. October 6.-Ths

practice at the Virginia game Satur-
day, with which the first phase Of its
foot ball season ends
In its opening games. against Will
liam and Mary and The Citadel, the
Navy has scored 81 points and has
not been scored against. If it holds
Virginia scoreless, this seasons team
will have done far better in its early
games than any Navy team for years.
Equal attention is being given BY
Head Coach Hardwick and his helpers
to the attack and the defense.
Coach Hardwick intends to start his
regular backfield of Case. Ingram, Nc
Farland and Antrim against Virginia,
but the second string, which did so
we'll against Citadel, is likely to figure
in at least half of the game. This is
made up of Cooke, Wood, Franks and

Twice postponed because of bad

But the feminine golfers at four
other clubs and on the public links
donned raincoats and rubbers and
went through three qualification
rounds in as many tournaments and
through the flrst-match round In an
other.
Mrs. L. G. Pray, medalist in the

and met Mrs. Roy G. Miller in the
opening round.
Mrs. Charlotte S. Stern won the
medal in the Army Navy Club cham
pionship with a card of 80 and met
Mrs. Margaret Russell in the opening
round. Only one flight qualified in
this tourney.
Mrs. j. o. Rhyme, the medalist,
Whitewashed Mrs. George Bell by 10

to keep on going until the play is
ended. Nebraska lost ball game
once because the whole team stop
ped when an official footed horn.
The other team kept on going and
then declined the penalty.
Howls of protest went up from
some fans when Maj. Jones closed
the practice gates-the fans only got
two looks at the Cornhuskers be-
fore the Minnesota game last Sat-
urday. They wanted to see more.
Jones, who used to coach at Army,
Louisiana State and Oklahoma,
didn't relent a nickers worth. Now.
Of course, since his boys walloped
Minnesota's Gophers down into the
class with the rest OF the Nations

$ he even could exclude the players
and the fans wouldn't care.

Perfecting Some New Plays to Use
in Philly Tilt That Will
Dedicate Stadium.

Loyal supporters, who follow the
Catholic q. Cardinals to Philadelphia
this week end when they stack up
against La Sale, in all probability will
witness slightly more spectacular
of1ense than the Brooklanders have
displayed against their two previous
grid victims.
Coach Dutch Bergman has con-
trived several new plays in gymnasium
workouts this week and intends to cut
loose against the Philadelphians. Not
only will they include some tricky
ground maneuvering, but several de-
ceptive pass plays. He also feels that
the Cards sketchy pass defense also
has been bolstered.
Those that make the trip will take
part in the christening of the new La
Sale Stadium and have another op-
portunity to hear Catholic University's
54-piece Band which is going to assist
In the ceremonies.

MELVILLE. Ala. October 6.
-Gret Whiddon. Is and slen-

dreamed of glory when MELVILLE
Highs foot ball team met Coffee
County of Enterprise. Ala.
Gret weighs only 100, but he had
been working out with the team
and the coach had allowed him to
wear a uniform while he served
as water boy.
Newville was backed up to its
goal line when young Whiddon
was sent in.
He lined up as a defensive half
back, intercepted a pass exactly
on the goal line on the first play
and ran the 100 yards for a touch
down.
Unfortunately, young Whiddon's
mates couldn't hold that margin
and lost. 13 to 7.
But MELVILLE is looking for

Several years ago Simon. by
ingenious use of two sets of tees,

IF THERE has been any doubt as to
the top professional golfer around
Washington since Witty Cox gave up
educating young Brooklyn in how golf
should be played, back in the Summer
of 1885, and transferred his immacu-
late golf game to the Capital, that
doubt exists no longer.
Any guy who can play three rounds
of the Indian Spring course in 213
strokes in lousy weather and then
finish the last round in q veritable
cloudburst in IS for a 72-hole total
OF 291 shots, just three above par,
rates not only the top golfer of the
bunker-bordered Capital but of lot
Of nearby precincts as we'll. That's
just what Wilfred did to win his first
District open championship yesterday.
He wound up five shots in front of
the 296 carved out by Leo Walper, the
Middle Atlantic P. G. A. champ, and
that is far from all. Leo had prac-
tically finished his round when the
rain, which had fallen desultorily all
day, really began to bear down. Witty
had barely started. The Cox man
played 13 holes straight through one
of the worst downpours you could i'm
agine, a rain so heavy that within a
few minutes putting greens were con-
verted into miniature lakes, and the
boys were chipping instead Of putting;
| playing out of lakes in the bunkers
and lifting around casual water in
| fairway and rough. Although the
conditions were about as bad as you
could want. The only thing lacking
was 40-mile gale on top Of the rain.
