CLEVELAND, March 31.—An army of men in sleet-burdencd northwestern Ohio carried on today in an effort to connect nearly a score of cities with the outside world. A maze of broken poles, tangled wires and shattered trees lay over an area between Sandusky, Toledo and Tima. More than 10,000 telephone and tel graph poles were believed to have snapped under the weight of wires conted with fce. Throughout the district transport tion today was either tied up or s Property damage seemed certain to mount into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many Towns Isolated. Findlay, Vanwert, Bowling Green, Fostorfa and numerous smaller towns continued isolated. As news of the isolated places became available, only one death was reported, that of Kenneth Phillips, 24, of Perrys- burg, who died from exposure after hl‘y | | oile, wrecked on an fcy pavement. Findlay seemingly was among _the worst sufferers from the storm. Fac- tories. schools and business houses there were forced to suspend when power lines and other wires went down. The streets were a mass of broken poles and trees. Orchards Hard Hit. Norwalk schools also were Property damage at Tiflin and adjoin- ing territory was estimated at $300 000.

Brown is bitter against the traffic policemen, claiming that if they had | been on the job the accident never | would have happened. At this point the | film dramatically introduces the fact | that only 3 hours before Brown himself | had been arrested for speeding and taken it with exceedingly bad grace.
