Germa',y's ENJOY
Drops Na5i Salute
In Greeting King
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March Herman AM
bassador Joachim Won Ribbentrop,
who shocked Great Britain by giving
King George the Nazi salute on two
occasions, reverted to custom yester-
DAY and shook hands with the King
and Queen.
Then he and his wife-who also
shook hands with the royal couple
stayed for tea at Buckingham Palace.
The procedure amazed Won Ribben-
trop's fellow ENJOYS.
The two Nazi salutes to the King. in
February, brought newspaper criticism,
but German spokesman stoutly insisted
a uniform rule had been imposed re-
quiring representatives to raise the
arm on all official occasions.
Since Won Ribbentrop is handling
Germany's campaign here for the re-
turn of her former colonies, observers
thought Berlin might have ordered an
exception to avoid annoying the Brit
ish government.

OF moving picture cameras and oblig-

was publicity man, who handed out
his prepared statement to newspaper
men.
In overruling the motion for a new
trial, Justice Gordon reviewed much
OF the testimony given during DR.
ToWnsend's trial three weeks ago.
Testimony Stressed.
He laid particular stress on testi-
mony by John B. Kiefer of Chicago,
former Townsend aide, that an agree
ment was reached at a board of d.
rectors meeting the previous April
that Townsend should walk out of the
committee hearing at the psychological
) moment. Kiefer had told the jury
the move was intended to secure favor
able public reaction and publicity and
was regarded as masterpiece of
strategy"
When DR.. Townsend took the stand
he denied that he had ever agreed to
such plan," Justice Gordon declared.
But whether he willfully walked out
OF the committee hearing was sub
mltted to the jury with proper instruc-
lions and the jury found he was guilty
as charged in the first count of the
indictment. I see no reason to
change the jury's verdict"
Kiefer and another Townsend aide,
Or. Clinton Wunder of New York,
were indicted for contempt along with
their chief, but renounced Townsend
In open court and pleaded guilty be-
fore Townsends trial, in which they
were the principal Government wit
nesses. Each was placed on proba-
ton.
In his prepared statement DR..
Townsend referred to the Bell Com
mlttee members as men who cared
more for their political fortunes than
they did for the welfare of the people
they were sworn to serve.
MY contempt for such characters
has increased with the months that
have passed since my 'walkout,' and
Will continue to increase as I contem-
plate the extent to which they would
60 in their efforts to stop the reform
have advocated, and which is sweep
ing the Nation for second time" his
statement added.
At another place he said: "Try as
they can to imprison me, they can't
imprison that idea. The tide Is def
nitely turning. and my 'crackpot'
idea Is becoming the idea which
will save America from economic
serfdom. ."

DETROIT, March IL up. Fritz

Motor Co.. denied last night the as
sertion of Representative Dickstein,
made before the House Rules Commit
tee in Washington, that he is the

German government in the United

He also denied that the organiza-

for Mrs. Smolar. He visited the
United States Consulate at once, where
he was assured vigorous efforts would
be made to have the order rescinded.
Ambassador Dodd was armed with
the front pages of both Berlin and
provincial newspapers which assailed
Mayor La Guardia, American Jews and
conditions in general.
A spokesman said the nature of the
representations did not, ordinarily,
| call for formal reply from the Berlin
government.
Smolar, explaining he did not be-
lleve the La Guardia case was con-
nected with the expulsion order, said ::
The Gestapo evidently wanted to get
rid OF me as early as last December"
Away Three Months.
The newspaper man, a member of the
Foreign Press Association, explained
he had been away from Berlin for
about three months, returning a week
ago. He pointed out the order was
dated Just as I was leaving, and
ofnclas found us gone when they
tried at that time to present it to U.S."
When he returned last week, Smolar
said the hotel where he was stopping,
in accordance with German law, reg
stered him with the police. Then the
secret police official, who was polite"
paid his visit, the correspondent
added. No details were given.
Ambassador Dodd, on the State De-
partment's mission, remained in the
Wllhelmstrasse only half an hour.
The ambassador, it was believed.
might bolster his protest not only with
clippings of the current press. but
with a considerable file of clippings
showing that long before the present
incident prominent Americans had
been subjects of unfavorable comment
because. Of their Jewish blood.
The time for the interview was set
after the ambassador, acting on d.
rect orders from Washington. had at
tempted vainly to contact Won Neu-
rath yesterday

FLOOD FALLING
ATPITTSBURGH

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 26 dN.S)
Flood waters reached a crest Of
34.54 feet early today, almost 10
feet above the 25.foot flood level,
overflowing into lower portions
Of the downtown business tri-
angle, rendering an estimated
1900 families homeless and caus-
ing considerable damage.
The waters remained at high
tide from 2 to 4 o'clock this morn
ing. The Monongahela and Al
legheny rivers which form the
borders of the downtown Golden
Triangle" as they converge into
the Ohio at the Point" flooded
downtown streets and cellars and
nearby low.lying residential Sec
tions. At 4 o'clock the slow receS'
sion began.
At 10 a. m. the gauge had fal'
len to 1913 feet.
U. s. Weather Forecaster w. S.

prevails in the watershed.

GN.sJ.-Thirty rioting automo-

day after a pitched battle with
police attempting to quell a fight
between $50 non.strikers and 100
members Of the United Automo-
bile Workers Union.
More than 20 men were injured
before police finally restored or.
der.
The non-strikers forced their
way into a meeting of the union
men late last night in hall two
blocks from police headquarters.
The entire police force Of 152
men was modified for 24-hour
duty and detail was immedi-
ately dispatched to the plant Of
the Guide Lamp Company, where
strikers are on 24-hour picket duty
and another riot was in progress.
Non-strikers wrecked and burned
a picket shack before police were
able to end the fighting.

Meanwhile, in the hope Of saw

Across the aisle sits little girl
holding a cat and five little kit
tens. Nothing else was saved from
the flooded home.
Further along is mother with
her two sons. The father is miss
ing.
On through the train, more
scenes of inconceivable misery
and suffering.
The story of this refugee train
is the story of a great corpora
tion's humanitarian, the story of
a battle waged Single-handed by
the Pennsylvania Railroad to evac-
uate the miserable residents Of
flood.stricken JefferSonville.
More than 1000 victims of the
great yellow tide have already been
taken out of the beleagured city.
More than 750, i'll, hungry, thirsty,
unclothed, remained marooned in
the stricken city when this train
pulled out last night.
Many victims will never be taken
out. It is this reporters belief
hundreds of persons have been
drowned.
A boatman at the station last
night told of seeing two bodies
floating in the flood waters racing
through the streets. He told Of
seeing man sprawled on the roof
Of a barn Swirling downstream.
Racing with the current, he caught
up with the wreckage, only to find
the man dead, his hands and bare
feet frozen to the rooftop.
Screams Are Heard
Rescue workers openly expressed
the fear hundreds of persons have
been drowned in their own homes.
At times screams rose above the
roar Of the river.
Cows, horses, chickens, rabbits,
dogs, kittens and rats, clinging to
bits Of wreckage, fighting for sur.
Vival, floated by on the current.
Life and death were awfully in
termingled. And the ever-rising
river reached out to swing the bal.
ance to death.
Everyone was hungry, thirsty,
cold. But there were no COM
plants, few tears from eyes glazed
with terror. Minds seemed par
alyzed by the horror of the scenes.
Last Chance
This train. railroad officials
feared, will be the last to leave
Jeffersonville. The swiftly rising
waters were three feet deep in the
railroad yards as we inched from
the station.
If the 750 persons we left be-
hind are to be saved, they will
have to be ferried miles out Of
town to a train which will be
taken as close to the desolated
town as railroad officials deem
safe.

DEATH OF DOCTOR
STILL IS MYSTERY
Two Women Questioned In
Providence Staying, but
Neither Accused

Providence, r. l., July 17.-(AP)-
Two comely women were the objects
Of interest today in the mysterious
death of DR.. George Webster, fash
ionable physician.
The physician was shot fatally in
the doorway of his home early yes
terday. Questioned by police yesterday
and released to appear when wanted,
pretty Dorothea Gilligan, secretary
for eight years of the slain 39year-old
athic-obstetrician, in an inter
view today said the killing was hor-
rible."
She refused to discuss the case fur
Their, saying police warned her not to.
Elizabeth Prince, 25, roommate of
Miss Gilligan, also was questioned.
Neither woman has been charged
with any crime, and Deputy Super
intendent James Cusick, of the de-
tective division, would not indicate
definitely the exact course of the in
vestigation.
Miss Prince was questioned yester-
day by police, who kept her identity
secret. Released, she was taken into
custody again last night and held in
kthe lookup.
