Pennsylvania Railroad offices here reported a train had been damaged when it ran into a washout near Har- rington. Casualties were reported, but no further information was available here.

The area could not be reached | by automobile or wire this morning. Highway Destroyed. Sections of the highway between Mardela and Vienna were destroyed and washouts reported at Hurlock. Corn fields were flattened and some trees uprooted in this area. Water front sections in the central part of the shore have escaped almost unscathed, since northeast winds were landward.

Using their portable life-saving boat, the Riverdale rescue squad under the direction of Chief Daniel Herzog, and Bladensburg firemen, carried several white and colored familles from flood- isolated homes last night.

High tides were reported at Piney | Point and Point Lookout, but little | damage occurred to water-front prop- | erty. Telephonic communication with outlying sections was disabled. Farm Loss Heavy. Southern Maryland farmers counted their loss in thousands of dollars due to heavy damage to corn and tobacco. | while tobacco in the barns as well | as in the fields suffered from the long | rain. Charcoal fires were kept burning | in most barns in an attempt to pre- | vent mildewing and rotting of curing tobacco. County Agent P, E. Clark | of Prince Georges said the high | humidity also would affect the crop | adversely. | Mrs. Fred Simanski, sr., 65, ot\' Farmville, Va., was killed and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fred Simanski, | Jr., seriously injured when the wind | hit their farm house yesterday. Two others in the house escaped with minor injuries, but were taken to the hospital at Farmville, which lost a portion of its roof when the wind skirted that town.

The post office at Christ Church and the home of a colored man named Lloyd Carter also were | damaged there. Deep water was causing a short | detour where route 54 joins the Rich- land, and at the Henrico-Hanover boundary on the Richmond-Washing- ton Highway the Chickahominy was within one foot of the road surface. Unless heavy rains follow the night's downpours, the river was not expected to rise much further, however. - LABOR GROUP URGES ACTION BY LEAGUE International Federation Adopts Resolution Aimed at Aggressor in Italo-Ethiopian Rift.

GENEVA, September 6 (#).—The Council of the League of Nations voted today to appoint a subcommittee of | five countries to deal with the Italo- Ethiopian crisis. The subcommittee comprises France, Great Britain, Spain, Turkey and Poland. Apparently the agreement indicated the withdrawal of the Italians from a reported position that Italy should be included in such an important body, in view of the fact that she, like Great Britain and France, is a signatory of | the 1906 Ethiopian treaty. It was understood that Pompeo Aloisi, the chief Italian dele- gate, had approved the composition of the subcommittee, although he might abstain from voting on it when the ¥ High winds leveled the corn fields, | question came before the League !

Also present was Tecle Hawariate, the Ethiopian chief delegate. The private session lasted only 26 minutes, then the delegates changed rooms to open a public session.

Administrator Declurel. He Knows of No Substitute as Alleged to Federation. ‘Works Progress Administrator Har- | ry L. Hopkins said today he knew of no plan, as reported, to substitute re- | lief wages for the prevailing wage rate | on projects requiring Federal funds. | He had reference to a statement | by John J. Egan, secretary of the | Connecticut Federation of Labor, who yesterday told the federation’s golden jubilee convention at Danbury, Conn., | that such a plan would be announced from Washington in the near future.’ 1 Egan said he had been informed by | reliable sources that the plan would | be announced by Administrator Harry L. Hopkins and would provide: 1. That no P. W. A. project would | | be approved in municipalities where | there were not enough persons on re- | lief rolls to man the project. 2. That no P. W. A. projects would be approved if the prevailing rate of [ wage was deemed by Hopkins as too OPEN ALL DAY SATURDAY much in excess of relief wages paid on W. P. A, projects. “The result of such a policy,” Egan said later, “would be the virtual elim- ination of all P. W. A. projects, which pay prevailing wages. It would mean that for P. W. A, projects there would be substituted W. P. A. projects pay- ing relief wages. “In other words, a person would not be eligible for a job if he was not reg- istered on the relief rolls, and then he would receive only relief wages.” Egan advised delegates representing the construction trades to draft a pro- test against any such plan. 2 CLOTHES SHIPMENTS SENT TO STORM AREA ‘Two shipments of clothes, more than 2,000 garments in all, have been sent to the Florida hurricane area by the District Chapter of the American Red Cross. One shipment will g to Fort Myers, the other to the Ever- glades section. < The garments, consisting of men's, women's and children clothing, were made by the Red Cross volunteer or- | ganization, and are to be used only in times of disaster.
