Officials See Victory Over

BY the Associated Press.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, February 13-
A yellow floodtide that despoiled
cities, towns and farms in the valleys
OF the Ohio and Mississippi coursed
toward the Gulf today while an alert
legion of workers manned the lower
valley levees.
The billion-dollar levee line held
firm and Army engineers and veterans
of many high-water fights foresaw
victory over the greatest food in the
Nations history.
Stricken cities along the Ohio began
to dig from under the slime Of
devastation, strewn with the wreckage
of countless homes and buildings.
The death list stood at 466.
Ohio Falls Rapidly.
The Ohio fell rapidly along its en-
tire course below Cincinnati. The
Mississippi's retreat quickened from
Cairo, ILL.,, to Helena, Ark, where
levee defenders watched the passing
crest leave bulwarked dikes intact.
With the passage of the big rivers
peaks, the choked tributary streams
in Southeast Missouri, East Arkansas
and West Tennessee will begin drain
ing, releasing hundreds of thousands
of acres and numerous small towns
inundated by muddy backwaters.
The principal worry of levee patrols
was the menace Of sandboils that
bubbled up behind the earthen bar
riers from the tremendous pressure of
the flood. One burst out in a New
Orleans riverside street yesterday, but
was quickly controlled with a ring Of
sandbags.
Lake Is Safety Valve.
Additional needle gates were pulled
in the Bonnet Carre Spillway, 80 miles
above New Orleans, to divert greater
burden of the water into Lake Pont-
chartrain, safety valve used for the
first time.
The river dropped beneath SIS feet
at Cairo, more than feet below the
crest. The rate of recession increased
at New Madrid, Mo; Hickman, KY,
and Memphis.
The Red Cross, guardian of nearly
100000 homeless. prepared to return
refugees to their homes wherever
possible.

Insurgents Break Connection With

Insurgents Break Connection With
Eastern Coast.
By the Associated Press.
WITH FASCIST FORCES SOUTH
EAST OF MADRID. February 13 P).-
Insurgent commanders reported today
Madrids last direct connection with
the eastern seacoast was blocked by
Fascist occupation Of miles OF
secondary road near the villages of
Chinchon and Colmenar de Oreja.
With land and air attacks, the in
surgents drove deep into Socialist
territory along the cutoff Albacete
road from the Arganda Bridge over
the Junction of the Jarama and Man
Zanares Rivers.
In other operations, the Fascists
seized control of five ranches east Of
the Jarama River and consolidated
their position at the Arganda Bridge.
the first barricade to Madrid's princi-
pal highway to Valencia.
Only Remaining Route.
(The only remaining route of escape
from the besieged capital, it was ap-
parent from the Fascist reports. was
a roundabout road from the village Of
Arganda, east of the bridge, to Alcala
de Henares, on the northern highway
to Guadalajara.
by holding the bridge, the Fas-
cists control the Valencia road. They
also dominate the secondary cutoff
road leading to the Albacete highway.
All other highways south Of the capi-
tai are under insurgent control)
The Fascist advance pressed for
ward under heavy fire from govern
ment artillery batteries and feet Of
26 armored cars, insurgent officers
said.
The Socialists lost five of the, cars,
it was reported, while Fascist pilots
routed two government planes in
long air battle over the southeastern
sector.
The Fascist forces, Immediately
after capturing the road positions.
began consolidation of new lines, ap-
parently preparing for future attack
on the village of Arganda.
Occupation of Arganda would
close the secondary road to Alcala de
Henares, virtually sealing the exits
from Madrid to the provinces)
Countering Madrid denials that the
road was cut, Fascist leaders said 1t
was swept by continual gunflre, and
was considered severed in a military
sense because 1t was impossible ex-
cept at great risk.
Seven Trucks Wrecked.
OF IA supply trucks which attempt
ed to reach the capital over the high-
way last Wednesday, they said. seven
were wrecked and the others were
forced to turn back. This, they said,
disproved Madrid's contention the
route still was open because observers
admittedly drove along it under gun
fire the same day the feet Of trucks
could not.
Mass attacks by insurgent cavalry,
infantry and artillery, apparently to
stretch the Semi-circular siege lines
tighter and further around Madrid
from the west and to scatter remain
ing Socialist defenses on the highway
were carried out with unusual secret
iveness by insurgent officers.
Gen. Jose Varela personally COM
manded the troops In the field. while
Gen. Emilio Mola directed the opera
tions from behind the lines. Neither
would comment on the success or ex-
tent of the assault until It was COM
pleted.

NEW LIBRARY NEED.
ATPR|NCET0NT TOLD.
Club, at Annual Banquet,
Hears Present Facilities
Too Limited in Scope.

Need for a new Princeton Library
was the keynote of speeches by
Thomas Jefferson Wertenbaker, Ed
wards professor Of history, and Mel
vile Dickinson. former foot ball
captain, at the annual banquet of the
Princeton Club of Washington held
last night at the Raleigh Hotel.
Movies were shown and verbal de-
scriptions given of crowded conditions
in the present inadequate library,
bringing home to assembled alumni
the fact that a library having one of
the largest circulations in proportion
to student numbers IN the country
should be adequately housed.
The present annual circulation of
the library is 236,o00 and its con-
tent 725,000 volumes. whereas, Har-
ward with a student body three
and half times as large and a
library of approximately 100000
volumes, takes down only 25o.000 VOL
umes from the stacks a year, Dick
enson said.
Prof. Wertenbaker said in his talk
that need for a library as a social
center in Princeton has been noted, to
take care of those students not men,
bers of clubs and to take the place of
the house systems at Harvard and
Yale. The four-course plan of study
and the School of Public and Interna-
tional Affairs, in which Princeton was
pioneer, is responsible for this large
proportionate circulation, and the
equipment is necessary to carry them
on, he stated.
The tone of the banquet was light
ened by the songs of Fred H. East. Will
liam F. Raymond and Edwin c. Steffe,
with George H. Wilson, accompanist,
OF the famous Gridiron Club Quartet,
and movies of foot ball games, other
sports. campus and classroom scenes.

taken before any serious accidents
occur at these points.
