HULL-ST|MSON
ACCORD GROWS
Recent Appointments Seen
Increasing Collaboration
Between Them.

b the Associated Press.
Two recent appointments have in
creased the collaboration between the
Democratic Secretary of State. Cordell
Hull, and his Republican predecessor,
Henry L. StimSOn.
Mr.. Hull appointed Mr.. Stimson last
week to be United States representa-
tive on the panel of mediators created
by the inter- American treaty on good
Offices and mediation. The President,
on Mr. Hull's recommendation, had
chosen Mr.. Stimson in February to be
q member of the Permanent Council
Of Arbitration at The Hague.
Mr.. Hull and Mr.. Stimson are
friends. although on opposite sides of
the political fence. Mr.. Stimson, now
20. is not infrequent visitor at the
office Of his successor, four years his
Junior.
The former Secretary keeps in close
touch with developments abroad. AL
though living officially in New York,
ne also maintains Washington resi-
dence and spends much time here.
Mr.. Stimson has come to Mr.. Hulls
support on several occasions His open
letter last winter opposing the Ludlow
popular referendum on war backed up
the State Departments views.
Mr.. Stimson and Mr.. Hull are known
to hold the same views on the neu-
trality law. They consider it imper-
feet. contending it ties the hands OF
the administration too tightly.

PARIS, Feb. q. (UP)-The

the possibility of a Nazi thrust
into Czechoslovakia as result OF
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's Reichstag
speech, warned him officially last
night that it will "never tolerate"
any attempt to annex foreign ter

Hitler's statement that the "po-

Germans in Czechoslovakia and
Austria will be defended" stir
red fears here that the third

right action to isolate France
from her eastern allies.
France, Czechoslovakia and So

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-Ad-
miral William DtBose, chief of
naval construction, today told the
house naval affairs committee that
a reasonable" program for con-
struction of an expanded navy
would require ffom eight to ten
years for completion when he teS-
tilted on President Roosevelt's bill

the naval strength by Al fighting

$4,000 MEN, WOMEN, CHILDREN,
ROUTED BY FLOODS FACING
EXPOSURE in REFUGEE CAMPS
Forecast of Further Rain
and Snow Threaten New
Arkansas Dangers

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb. 81.
(UP)-More than $4,000 men,
women and children routed from
their lowland homes by icy flood
waters are scattered among ref
ugee camps in southwestern Ar
kansas and southeastern Oklahc-
ma, exposed to cold weather dan
gers and pneumonia.
Red Cross disaster workers
rushed from Washington to the
stricken area.
National guardsmen are out in
Oklahoma, directing airplanes,
motorboats and ambulances along
the deluged sections of the Ar
kansas and Red river bottoms.
Forecast of rain and snow
brought additional danger to the
refugees.
Clear skies and .sub-freezing
weather last night had brought
promise of relief from swollen
Arkansas rivers which have flood,
ed lowlands, blocked Al roads and
highways, and made an estimated
5000 families homeless.
While $500 WPA workers
struggled to hold back swlrllng
flood waters along the Arkansas
Ouachita. White and st. Francis
rivers, the weather bureau here
announced most streams mao
crested below predicted stages
and would begin falling within
the next SO hours. o., ,
The Arkansas crested at 33.2
feet at Fl. Smith and was eX'
pected to reach its highest stage
here sometime today, unless new
rains set in.
The bitter cold added to the
suffering of families being housed
in tents and temporary shelters
Red Cross officials took over the
task of providing relief for those
driven from homes by high wat
er. At main concentration points
refugees were housed in vacant
buildings, tents and box cars.
Greatest danger point remain
ing was at Newport where the Ar
kansas national guard stationed
four large boats for rescue worl
if the raging White river breaks
through levees again. The kee
levee below Newport broke earl!
today, inundating 5000 acres o,
farmlands.
