By the Associated Press GLENDORA, Miss, January 20— The Coast Guard and National Red Cross worked together today to bring relief to the flood-swept Mississippl Delta and its thousands of refugees. While a squad of Red Cross workers moved swiftly to alleviate suffering among the homeless and enforce public health measures in refugee centers, Coast Guard boats and crews, hurried here from the Great Lakes and Gulf station gave reessurance to marooned houscholders in the water-bound back » vaccinations in the crowd- of six counties, milies sought compara- seeing their homes breaks in the delta were ordered by the Red Cr and were procecding rapidly today under the direction of county calth officers.

BISMARCK, N. Dak., January 20.— Joseph 1. France, first presidential can- didate filed for the State primary election March 15, today informed friends he would campaign in North Dakota next month. The secretary of State yesterday ac- cepted petitions in behalf of the former Tnited States Senator from Maryland 85 a Republican candidate. They were filed by H. N. Tucker, secretary of the Etate Progressive Republican group. A statement from the “France-for- nailonal headquarters,” at Washington, made public by Tucker, said the candidate would tour “in a campaign of discussion of the prin- ciples of constitutional government, | and especially of practical remedies for mergency hardships from which fon is suffering.” ricultural _problems will be the chief topic. France's statement said: “I am convinced that lasting prosperity for this Nation can be achieved only when the farmers are prosperous. I myself am a practical farmer, con- fronted dafly with problems of farm operation, and can discuss these un- derstandingly with other farmers.” His statement said he favored a moratorium on Federal Land Bank mortgages, emergency relief for the un- employed through public works pro- grams financed by bond issues and sale of surplus grain and cotton at home &nd abroad on easy credit. FAMOUS WHITE STAR LINER TO BE SCRAPPED ‘President By the Assoclated Press EW YORK, January 20.— The Star liner Cedric, famous in her day as one of the outstanding vessels in the North Atlantic trade, has been sold in England and probably will be broken up for scrap, according to advices from Liverpool.

R., January 20. | —Eleven very bedraggled Russian rail- roaders today sat on the stage of the auditorium of the Kazan Station Work- ers' Club in Moscow, facing possible death sentences in & trial for sabotage and_carelessness. This_trial, which is being held be- | fore the Supreme Court, follows a | double accident at Kosino, 10 miles | south of Moscow, January 2, which | cost the lives of 68 persons and resulted | |in the serious injury of 128 others. | | Two precicus locomotives and several coaches also were sacrificed According to the story published for | the first time two days ago, an express | train halted after running over a | drunken suicide. In the confusion of | attempting to extricate the body, the trainmen forgot to set the signals warning the train following theirs. | The stationmaster also failed to make | sure that the first train was out of block before he allowed the second to | roceed and the latter, traveling at | igh speed despite automatic semn-\ phores set against it, crashed into the | rear end of the express, telescoping | six coaches and killing and injuring scores of passengers. Trial An Object Lesson. As the survivors flooded over the adjacent track bearing the dead and injured, a freight train, also unwarned by signals, bore down from the oppo- site direction, killing and injuring many | others. As the whole future of Soviet Rus- sia’s industrial plans depends on the rapid perfection of transportation, the government apparently intends to use this trial as an object lesson to other careless raflroaders. In a similar trial | at Khabarovsk January 2, four men | were sentenced to death for careless- ness in connection with a Wreck in Siberia. An astounding air of nonchalance bred of revolution, civil war and hard- | ship, characterizes the Russian supreme court in action. It is at the other end of the pole from another of the worlds most hard-hitting courts—the black- | shirt special tribunal—where & dozen highly bemedaled and sleek consuls of the militla pass judgment on poltical prisoners, In Italy the prisoners crouch in an iron cage, chained together, guarded by gayly plumed carabinieri and young blackshirts with bare bayonets. = Here | the prisoners sit on the stage, looking | equally glum, but steadying their emo- | tions with medicine and cigarettes g;urded by a mere pair of young sol- ers. | ‘Workers Crowd Court. At the door of the crescent-shaped | sauditorfum stands a stony-faced mem- | ber of the gay-pay-00 in a flat cap topped with red, a neatly tailored khaki | tunic, trim black breeches and shining | boots, He looks us over as we enter | and take our place with a dozen other | newspaper men at a long, red-draped | table facing the stage. The audftorium is filled with work- ers, the men in shiny suits and dark | shirts, the women in plain dark dresses and sweaters, their hair sleeked back | over the ears. They strain forward in their seats, gazing expectantly at the stage, on which six red-covered tables and four microphones await the open- ing of the action. ! Without warning a soldier appears from the left of the stage, followed by | 11 unkempt and unshaven men in felt boots, their arms behind their backs, | They walk to the right of the stage and | sit in two rows of plain chairs. Two Red guards in long khaki coats and cloth helmets, with revolvers and sabers at_their sides, stand beside them. With equal absence of ceremony, three judges, A. P. Egorov, M. A. Segal and Sidorov, enter and sit at a red table midstage. Judge Egorov is notable for his white collar and tailored suit and his round and extremely business- like face. The audience remains seated. Prosecutor Arrives. The next protagonist is the tall and imposing Mr. Katanian, chief prose- cutor of the Soviet Union.

A gay-pay-oo officer walks across the stage with a glass of white liquid and hands it to sad-eyed Mr. Burok, engi- neer of the second train, who gulps it and jumps for a glass of water. A blond young prisoner in the second row lights & cigarette, pufls at it, and hands it to a shaved-headed man with steel- rimmed spectacles next to him.

The Budience gives no trace of emotion and sits silently watching the procedure. All of this is expected to last three | days. at the end of which the sad- eyed Burok and his glum partners in carelessness will know their fates. (Copyright, 1932.)
