DENIED
SIT-INS
1000 Soldiers Stand
By in 6. M. Crisis;
Fear New Riots

FLINT, Mich, Feb. 2 TN.S1,
Acting swiftly to crush further vio-
lence, Michigan's National Guard
today called out virtually its full
strength-about 1000 troopers
for duty in Flint, scene of yester
days General Motors auto strike
riots.
Meantime, Circuit Judge Paul
V. Gadola was expected to hand
down his decision on General Mo-
tors petition which asks that its
plants here be cleared of sit-down
strikers.
A late development was indica-
tion a ban may be lifted against
food for about 400 sit-downers in
the newly-seized Chevrolet plant
No. 4. At first, the strikers faced
the threat of being starved out Of
the plant, as 1900 troopers here,
under orders, barred entry of food.
But later State police started
probe to determine if the men
holding the plant were employed
there. It is understood that if
they were, the ban would be lifted.
Early reports were that many of
those holding the plants were not
Flint G. M. employees.
With a "Steel ring" of virtual
martial law already in effect in a
mile-Square area here, LOO more
troopers were ordered to Flint to-
day, national guard headquarters
announced. About 1900 troopers
have been standing by. BY night
fall, the total will be about 1000,
it was announced.
The 800 men in the 10th Field
Artillery from Lansing, Grand
Ledge, Jackson and Charlotte were
proceeding here by truck and
train. Nine hundred other troopers
have been ordered to start moving
here from Detroit, Monroe, Bay
City and Midland.
MaChine-gunS and 1900 Ma
tional GuardSmen restored order
during the night after new blood
shed, but the feeling OF union
strikers, armed with mahogany
clubs and connecting rods, ran
high.
No Work Today
Pending the outcome Of court
action today, General Motors
closed all of its plants here. Work
ers who reported for work at
Chevrolet Plant 5 were told by
National Guardsmen there would
be no work today in any of the
G. M. plants.
Martial law has not been ac-
tually declared in the affected
area, about a mile square in the
Chevrolet colony, but its effect is
nevertheless the same. Machine
guns are strategically mounted.
No one can get through the lines
of grim-faced troopers without a
military pass.
More Trouble Feared
More trouble was feared if and
when Judge Gadola grants Gen
eral Motors petition asking it's

President Roosevelt by procla-
nation today declared an emer-

devastating flood in the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys.
The Presidents action was
taken so gifts of food, clothing
and medical and other supplies
might come in duty free from
foreign countries, particularly
Canada. He acted under pro-
visions of the tariff act of 1880.
After reciting the great loss
of life and property in the flood
area and the sickness. suffering,
and privation among the stricken
localities" the President quoted
the section Of the tariff act
which gives him emergency
powers and said:

COMPROMISES
ON FUND BILL .

After compromising series of
controversies within the ranks of
Senate Democrats, Administration
leaders today were ready to rush
Senate passage of the 934-million-
dollar first deficiency appropria-
ton bill.
The measure carried IT'S million
dollars for relief and so million dol
lars for feed-Seed loans to farm,
ers. All of the relief funds may
be used, within President Roose,
velt's discretion, for relief of flood
sufferers.
Two questions remained to be
settled. One involved a move by
MidWeStern Senators to raise the
relief fund total to 1900 million
dollars in order to care both for
flood and drought sufferers.
Administration leaders opposed
the increase upon the ground
that rehabilitation of the flood
devastated areas may require ad-
ditional legislation, authorizing
loans to private citizens or grants
to cities to clean up the flood
debris.
The other issue involved a $15,-
100000 slash in the House fund

CANNON WARY
ON REPUTE

Testimony of E. c. Jameson,
New York capitalist, who contrib
uted $63,5O0 to Bishop James Can
mons anti-Smith campaign before
the 1928 election, was read into
the record today in the clergy
mans $500,000 libel suit against
Representative George H. Tink-
ham (R) of Massachusetts,, now
on trial in United States District
Court.
Bishop Cannon's deposition, con-
sisting of 100 pages, made while
he occupied a sick bed at Sibley
Hospital a year ago, was finally
included in the record today, and
the testimony of Jameson was a
transcript of that which he gave
before the Nye Senate committee
which in 1929 investigated cam
paign contributions.
Cross examination of Bishop
Cannon in the deposition drew a
confession from the Southern dry
leader that he did not know his
reputation among the fellow citi-
zens of his community. Defense
Counsel Roger j. Whiteford asked:
"Is your general reputation
in the community where you
live good or bad?"
Bishop Cannon replied:
II don't know"
Whiteford asked:
But you want S5OO,OOO for
not knowing? Is that jt?"
Bishop Cannon answered:
"No sir"
The cross examination proceeded
and Bishop Cannon qualified his
earlier testimony by saying:
Il have told you that some
give me a good reputation and
some do not"
