Va., area without causing appreciable damage as the new crest bore down on Mar- jetta, O., with a 40-foot stage anti- cipated. Danger apparently had passed along the river from Steubenville to Ports- mouth, O. Meteorologists predicted a crest of 35 feet at Louisville, two above earlier estimates. Sixty families had already been routed. Tributaries of the Ohio in southern Tilinois were brimming after heavy showers. Most residents of low terri- tory along the Ohio from the Wabash to the Mississippi have moved to the hills. Cairo, Ill., at the confluence of the Ohio and the Mississippi measured a rise of a foot to the 41 foot level, six feet short of the predicted crest. La Crosse, Wis, merchants were advised to move perishable merchan- dise from river front basements as the Mississippi approached flood stage. Several thousand acres were under water along the Minnesota river in the wake of heavy snow. Meanwhile, an army of workers hur- ried rehabilitation of the damage in eastern states, were 200 persons per- ished and property loss was estimated at more than $500,000,000. At Washington, the nationel re- sources committee announced it would develop a long-range flood control plan, Harry L. Hopkins indicated an additional $10,000,000 would be allo- cated to flood relief. The Red Cross announced receipt of $2,531,171 for the aid of flood victims.

D., March 97.—(?)— Ross Jobnson, transient and former convict, held in the Stutsman county SEEKS EXPLANATION OF BDEN'S SPEECH Germany Agitated by Emphasis Placed on Military Agree- ment Among Powers (Copyright, 1936, Associnted Press) London, Match 27.—Joachim von Ribbentrop, seeking Great Britaix’s latest word before returning to Berlin to. report to Adolf Hitler on. the Rhineland crisis negotiations, con- ferred with Foreign Secretary An- thony Eden Friday at the foreign office. Informed sources said the Reich parts of Eden’s speech to the house of commons, Thursday, in which the foreign secretary warned Germany a conciliatory gesture of some kind was necessary to solve the Rhineland im- passe, but also advised France to try to deal with Der Fuehrer with an open mind. Hitler's ambassador at large was understood to be perturbed by some sections of Eden's ‘address—a reaffir- mation of Britain’s obligations under the Locarno pact which was ac- claimed generally by the British as the greatest of his career. The German delegation, it was understood, was agitated by the em- phasis Eden laid on the military understanding among the Locarno powers, in contrast to the compara- tively fleeting references to the pro- posals Hitler has extended for new treaties. Popularity Waning Faced by a disclosure thet the feel- ing of the house of-commons was ‘apparently less warm .for Germany than had been popularly. supposed, von Ribbentrop was expected to ques- tion Eden concerning certain points in his speech.

With the fiurry of rumors growing in number and strength as the hour of execution drew nearer, the one person who appeared most certain that he would not walk to his death Tuesday night was Hauptmann him- self. “I don’t feel I will go out that door.” the ‘condemned man told Col- onel Kimberling Friday. “I feel some- thing is goihg to happen.” Colonel Kimberling told the prison- er frankly that “things don’t look very favorable” for another last mine ute escape from the chair, but Haupt- mann replied cheerfully and express- ed confidence he would not die Tues- Hauck said that if Governor Hoff- man had any intention of granting @ new reprieve, “I will take quick and necessary steps to block it.” The governor, in. Hauck’s opinion, “has made a laughing stock of the courts.” Wilentz Uninformed Attorney General Wilentz said that he knew nothing of any new confes- sion in the case, nor had he heard anything further concerning Gov. Hoffman’s announced plans to confer with Dr. John F. Condon—the “Jaf- sie” of the ransom negotiations, Howard Eastwood, Burlington coun- ty prosecutor, said he knew of no ar- rest or confession in the case in his county. “If County Detective Ellis Parker had obtained a confession (as the reports said), I would’know about it,” Eastwood added. Parker himself denied making any arrest. He said he hadn't been do- ing anything on the case recently. Parker, one of the country’s best known police officers, has repeatedly said: he- does not-believe Hauptmann is guilty. In the face of several. official pre- dictions that the governor would not again seek to interefere, there was a growing feeling here that some de- velopment would occur to prevent the execution.

Attorney General Wilentz, Hauck. Arthur J. Koehler, federal wood ex- pert, who was one of the state's chief witnesses at Hauptmann’s trial, State Trooper Lewis J.

Nails, slipped inté rail 16, would not pene- trate the joists until they were flush with the board, Hauck said.

With the substance removed they ° were of normal depth. Hauck, describing this test Thurs- day night, said the governor turned to him and said he was “satisfied” that Bornmann and Koehler were tell- ing the truth when they said the board was nailed to the joist. But the governor, in a statement issued at hir: office, said: “The defense maintains that this is indicative that these holes were made recently and not at the time the house was constructed.” M’Coy Appeals for- Accurate Certifying L.

As @ result, McCoy explained, hundreds of dollars which should go to various counties in returns on the‘license, are being distributed to other counties. *The county in which the purchas- er of the license plates resides should appear on the application,” McCoy emphasized—“not the county of the seller of the automobile, or of the of- ficial before whom the application is made.
