CONN. RIVER IS
 STILL GOING UP
Three Feet Above Flood Stage This Morning;
 Families Had to GO
Radiophoto

Hartford, Conn, April 21.-CUP) Connecticut river was nearly three feet above flood stage at a. m., today and three families in the lowlands of East Hartford were forced to evacuate their homes.
 Flood level is 16 feet.The U. S. weather bureau reading this morn- ing showed 1893 feet and Observer Henry E. Hathaway said there would be a steady rise until a crest of Hess than g feet" would be reached Saturday morning.
 The rate of rise, six one-hun- dredths yesterday and, there would be a gradual tapering off.
 Three severe thunderstorms to the north on Wednesday contrib uted to freshets caused by melting snow, he said, and forced discon- tinuance of work on a dike at Springfield, Mass.
 Dike Plans Go On
 Operations at the North Meadow dike at Hartford were not disrupt ed by the high water. The crest at Springfield was pre-
 
 dicted at IT feet.
 Some business properties along the river bank here were under wa ter. Most of the commercial hous- es in the congested business district, however, were considered safe from damage unless the river went over the 9 foot mark. Merchants were prepared to move their goods should unexpected rains cause further rise.
 The weather bureau reported the rainfall thus far for April was .78 inches heavier than normal. Since the beginning of the year the pre- cipitation totaled 17.07 inches, or two and one-half inches above nor- nal for the period.

increasingly frequent mention of
Mr.. Bricker as a possibility for the
Republican nomination. The sug-
gestion is becoming so articulate as
to suggest a source and possibly an
organization. What and where
these inspirations may be does not
appear.
At this distance, the least common
denominator Of Mr.. Bricker's ma
tional views and attitudes seems to
come from the old doctrinal fount
Of States rights. Since the Federal
list, "the poetical classic OF the
United States" ceased to be the
house organ OF the Republican party
and since the party kidnapped
Thomas Jefferson, the challenge to
the encroachment Of Federal au-
thority is good medicine for aspiring
Republicans. Witness the good press
of the six New England Governors,
entrenched behind their granite
hills to fight off the Federals.
All that is right on Mr.. Bricker's
target. When 1t comes to the Wash
ington bureaucracy messing in other
peoples business, he shoots from the
hip. He Is As years old. with hand
some, wavy, prematurely gray hair,

solid, substantial man with nothing
orante about him. A farm rearing,
attendance at a country school in
Madison County, Ohio; a creditable
box-score showing as varsity catcher
an the University Of Ohio, are by
no means negligible asets In his
presidential build-up.
In 1882 and in 1884 he was elected
attorney general Of Ohio in the face
Of Democratic landslides. Previous
ly he had been attorney for the
Ohio Public Utilities Commission,
later member of the commission
and special counsel for the attorney
general. He began his political ca
reer as city solicitor for Grandview
Heights, suburb of Columbus. He
was married in 1919, has one son,
John Day Bricker, and lives in Co.
