RICHMOND, Va., July 11.—The northern section of the Shenandoah Valley was swept by gale-like winds, hail and rain early tonight, which did considerable property and crop dam- age and left New Market and other towns without electric lights and com- munication facilities.

Eleven persons were injured. at least one critically. The girl. Miss Augusta Renner, was found under 20 feet of brick and other debris. She was trapped when the building in which she worked buckled and collapsed following the explosion. Miss Renner was to have gone on a vacation tonight. The three missing persons were Ne- Wesley Jefferson and Jessie Bathell, visitor. Firemen were hampered in search for the bodies by recurrent explosions of 50-gallon drums of alcohol.

Raymond McElroy, one of the injured, was talking to her when the explosion shook the place. He said he did not know what happened to her.

He probably will recover. Charles A. Webb, a member of the firm, was with McElroy and Miss Ren- ner when the explosion took place. He suffered severe injuries about the head and chest and severe burns. Phy- sicians feared he might not live. Two of the tank cars were parked on the street near the building when the explosion occurred. Firemen managed to shove one out of danger and kept a steady stream of water playing on the other.

So may Father Coughlin, although it is not definitely announced. Rev. Gerald Smith, organizer of the Huey P. Long “share-the-wealth” clubs, is to attend the conference and deliver an address. While these third party maneuvers are looking the situation over in Cleveland, Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin is expected to light on the Progressive conference which he announced would be called after the national conventions of the Republicans and the Democrats had been concluded. Support for Roosevelt. La Follette is regarded as a sure supporter of the Roosevelt candidacy for President. The Progressive con- ference which he is planning has been looked upon as an attempt to offset the movement for the radical Union party and to make votes for the Roosevelt ticket. The Progres- sives are expected to declare a set of principles at their conference and to assert that these principles can best be served by supporting Roosevelt for re-election. The Democratic high command has & keen interest in this La Follette Progressive movement. If the Lemke- O'Brien national ticket makes head- way in a number of States, the chances are that it will take more votes from Roosevelt than from Landon. Take Massachusetts, for example, where Father Coughlin is reported to have a considerable following. The recruits | for the new third party, backed by | Coughlin in the Bay State, would | make serious inroads on the Demo- crats. For in Masachusetts the fol- lowers of Father Coughlin are largely Democrats. If the third party should run well in Minnesota, in Michigan and in other States of the West, the votes it culls will come from the group which ordinarily might be expected to follow Roosevelt. A good deal, so far as the Union party is concerned, will depend upon whether the Townsendites agree to go along with Lemke. The National Union for Social Justice is to have a national meeting in Cleveland Aug- just 14 to 16. Father Coughlin’s latest | pronouncement is that Lemke is “eli- | gible” for indorsement | tional Union and that Roosevelt and Landon are not. Big Parties Busy. As the disgruntled third-party plan- ners go forward with their plans, the Democrats and Republicans are not letting the grass grow under their feet. The Democratic high command is not overlooking a bet. It is seeking and to strengthen its national ticket by having the “right” candidates se- lected to run for State offices.

Agree to Seek Stabilization. Both nations agreed to co-operat- | toward the stabilization of the Cen- tral European situation, this co-oper- ation to be undertaken as two closely | related German states. Although it was stated specifically | that Nazi-ism in both countries will be regarded as a strictly internal af- | fair, it was understood that the Aus- trian government would permit the inclusion of one Nazi minister in its cabinet. The agreement failed to indicatc what attitude might be tatken b: either country on the question of re- establishing a Hapsburg monarchy in Austria—but the fact an accord was reached indicated Germany would re- gard that matter as solely Austria's business. There was a general inclination neutral diplomatic quarters to wel- come the accord as a pacification | move, but there was also a disinclina- ;uon to predict the ultimate repercus- | sions. | It was pointed out that the possi- bility of a future “Anschluss” (union) | was not repudiated in the new agree- ment.
