FIVE CENTS Great Britai40n, France Split Seen Possible Large French Ariy Kept In Service Preliminary To Geneva Negotiations Breaches In Italian Sanctions Possible France May Drop Italian Sanctions Or Stand For Them On Germany PARIS, April 7. - (') - France, preliminary to delicate diplomatic ne- gotiations at Geneva, today ordered 175,000 army conscripts whose mili- tary service was due to expire April 15 held in active service until further orders. This decree issued by the Ministry of War affects a number totaling about half of the nation's regular peacetime army. At the same time Foreign Min- ister Pierre-Etienne Flandin and For- eign Secretary Anthony Eden of Great Britain sought to reconcile Franco-' British differences over tle treatment of Germany and Italy, differences that some officials feared might split a session of the League of Nations opening tomorrow. Flandin, with a French plan to "punish" Germany in his pocket, met Eden at the Geneva train and told him sanctions against Italy must be abolished or imposed upon Germany. Officials here, however, expressed belief Eden would see to increase pressure against Italy and would ig- nore Germany's violation of the Lo- carno Treaty by remilitarization of the Rhineland. GENEVA, April 7. - ()-Reports that breaches may be made in the League of Nations' sanctions wall around Italy stirred Geneva tonight on the eve of a session of the com- nittee of 13 to consider negotiations for peace in Africa. The League announced it has no confirmation of a Rome report that Ecuador would break the ice by dropping sanctions. The Ecuadorean delegate to the League said he had no official infor- mation on such a step but added: "I have, however, received instruc- tions to oppose any move to extend the present sanctions against Italy, in- cluding an oil sanction." There were indications friends of Italy on the committee would like to see sanctions removed although they may hesitate to take the initia- tive. (Paris dispatches said Foreign Min- ister Flandin of France would press at Geneva for removal of sanctions from Italy or for the imposition of sanctions against Germany for violat- ing the Locarno Treaty). Pressure Fall Caused Freak Weather Here Winter was recalled to Ann Arbor yesterday as a freak pressure drop caused raging winds, blinding snow and tumbling temperatures to descend upon the city. The day started off normally in regard to temperature and wind velo- city with the average temperature during the earlier part of the day re- ported as above 40 degrees by the University Observatory Weather Bu- reau. At about 2 p.m., totally with- out warning, a sharp drop in baro- fnetric pressure occurred and the wind took on gale-like proportions with a velocity of 22 miles per hour recorded. During this period the Observatory reported a drop in temperature of 20 degrees, and the brief but blinding snowstorm which accompanied this drcp reduced vicibility temporarily to a negligible quantity. The tempera- ture reported at 7 p.m. yesterday by the weather bureau stood at 24.5 de- grees. According to the forecast of the United States Weather Bureau for this area, clear but colder weather will prevail for the most part today.

NEIL (Associated Press Staff Writer) GURA, Eritrean Aviation Head- quarters of the Northern Italian Army, April 7. - (IF) -From the glass-en- closed bombing pit of a huge tri-mo- tored plan in a screaming dive toward the earth I saw today the amazing1 destruction Italian aviation is in- flicting on the demoralized remnants of Selassie's Imepial Army. We had been flying half an hour from Gura with Capt. Giovanni Dauria and Maj. Piero Ferretti at the controls of an eight-ton bomber - holding two tons of expbsives and a ton and a half of gasoline, through perfect skies over Aduwa and Ak- sum. Suddenly, in a brown valley luxuriant with vegetation we found groups of perhaps 500 Ethiopians and about 2,000 mules, horses and camels. Our plane wheeled, dove and thun- dered at them less than 600 feet from the ground, so close that we could see the black men sawing desperately at the reins of their mules. Then Francesco started pulling levers. We dropped 24 fifty-pound bombs, several pairs of fifty-one pounders in clusters and SI saw at least 10 strike squarely in the middle of frantic groups. The explosions were so terrific and we were so near that the plane rocked and through the clouds of smoke shat- tered bodies were easily visible flying through the air. Spanish Leftists Oust President On Technicality MADRID, April 7. -AP)-Almost five years to the day after he drove former King Alfonso from the throne, Niceto Alcala Zamora was ousted by a vote of the Cortes tonight from the presidency of the republic he helped to create. In a tense, five-hour session the Parliament of Deputies voted 238 to 5 that the president had not properly exercised his function in dissolving the last parliament and that automatical- ly under article 81 of the constitution he should be deprived of office. His term still had one year and eight months to run. Most rightists refrained from vot- ing. It was a triumph for Leftists who won a smashing victory in the February 16 elections after Alcala Zamora had dissolved parliament. A committee formally notified the "father of the republic" of the Cortes' action and Premier Manuel Azana announced that Diego Martinez Bar- rio, president of the Cortes and chief of the Republic Union, would serve as president. There is no vice-pres- ident. BARRIO SUCCEEDS ZAMORAy MADRID, April 7.-(AP)-Niceto Al- cala Zamora, "Father of the Re- public," was ousted from the presi- dency tonight after a tense, five- hour session of the Cortes.

Nearly 100 names have already been affixed to the "V.F.W.'s" peti- tion, andmore are expected. But the signers? No communists they. All we want, they'll tell you, is what our petition asks. The petition makes three main demands: 1. $500 for every gir that's going to be left behind. 2. A statue erected for every man who is going to die in action. 3. Free baseball in the United States this summer to keep us con- tented when we fight on foreign soil. And even as the original organizer of the future war veterans, Lewis Gorin, Jr., Princeton University ju- nior, our own V.F.W.'s will hurl the taunt of "Red" back at any Veteran or Legionnaire who calls them com- munist. The membership is now open to the campus at large, and anyone interest- ed in joining should get in touch with Arnold S. Daniels, whose name plays "John Hancock" at the top of the petition. The future War Veterans demand their bonus now, although they ad- mit in their petition that the re- quests pertaining to money for their girls to be left behind, the statue and the free baseball are "of more press- ing import." Also in the petition is reference to Spring Parley Committee To Meet In League Definite Plans Are To Be Formulated For Annual Student Discussions The expanded continuations com- mittee of the 1936 Spring Parley - representatives of every group on the campus - will meet at 7:30 p.m. today in the League concourse to work out definite plans for the annual student- faculty discussion, which will be held April 25, 26 and 27. The committee tonight, according to Irving Levitt, '36, executive chair- man, will decide upon definite subject, sub-topics, student chairmen and the faculty panel. These have al- ready been agreed on by the execu- tive committee, Levitt said, and will be recommended to the larger group. The subject for discussion at the parley that the executive committee will recommend tonight is "Our To- morrow - What Shall We Make It?" Under that, the committee will recom- mend these sub-topics: Our Univer- sity, our state and its economic sys- tem, sex and the family, our inter- national relations, our religion and its relation to personal adjustment, the arts.

Rumors that a body of fraternities were planning a petition could not be verified by The Daily. Petitions must be presented to either Philips or George W. Williams, '36, council president, before tomorrow morning. Both Williams and Philips refused to predict on the possibility of their action being overridden.I - - - 1 Many Victims Discovered In Manufacturing Center Located Near Foothillst GAINESVILLE, Ga., April 7. - () - The storm-lashed south compiledf a list of more than 400 known dead1 today from sporadic spring torna-t does as flooded rivers threatened new disaster over a widespread area. Torrential rains sent major streams on the rise even before the task of finding and identifying the dead left by tornadic thrusts had been com- pleted.. The known fatalities from the lat- est storms which ripped through six states yesterday include Mississippi, 219; Georgia, 183; Tennessee, 12; Al- abama, 11; Arkansas, 1; and South Carolina, 1. Toll Is Very Heavy Contributing the heaviest toll were this textile manufacturing center in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Moun- tains where 183 bodies have been found; and Tupelo, Miss., another cotton manufacturing center, where 203 died. Losses here were estimated at $25,000,000 with uncounted thou- sands homeless and thousands in- jured. Relief officials expressed be- lief many more bodies of the dead would be uncovered before all the wreckage is removed. The threatening floods, coming af- ter the South's most disastrous winter and spring in a decade, brought 'a se- rious threat to numerous communi- ties which escaped the storms. Seventeen highways were closed by high water in North Carolina and six in South Carolina. Two railroad lines were inundated in the latter state. Alabama's larger rivers were flood- ed, but little damage was indicated thus far. No Concern For River Valley Weather officials said no concern was felt for Mississippi valley levees. Thousands of lowland residents on the Tennessee side of the river, how- ever, were routed from their homes. More than 1,000 relief workers la- bored in Gainesville and a like num- ber was busyat Tupeloagainst the threat of pestilence in the wake of the death dealing twisters. At Gainesville 2,500 were homeless, upward of 1,000 homes were in ruins and more than 1,200 were injured. Four trainloads of the injured were hospitalized in Atlanta, 70 miles away. While trucks moved slowly through debris-strewn streets carting off the wreckage, pathetic scenes were en- acted at improvised morgues hous- ing the dead. Steady streams of solemn faced relatives moved through the establishments seeking missing kinsmen.

Nir Crash Caused ] By Bad Radio Beam NEW YORK, April 7. -(P)-Offi- ials of Transcontinental and West- .rn Air, Inc., said that first reports ndicated the plane crash fatal to 11 oday was caused by a faulty beam. Officials of the Commerce Depart- nent said two radio beacons, one P iew and one old, were operating ef- eciently or the plane's flight route. Radio-equipped planes in the Unit- d States make a practice of "riding he beam." It is a radio message in code from in automatic sending apparatus lo- ated at the airport toward which the plane is heading. The commerce department officials t Washington said the new type was superior to the old type because it permitted radiophone communica- tion without interrupting the direc- tional wave. The directional beams criss-cross each other all over the country. The R Department of Commerce controls s heir operation. P T Heavy Damage t Is Threatenedw By High Waters Y N River Rises Above Flood c Stage From Evansville, h Ind., To Cairo, Ill. N CINCINNATI, April 7. -(P)-High a water carried a threat of heavy dam- s, age to cities near the mouth of the t Ohio River at Cairo, Ill., tonight but d promised to remain well below the l high marks of the last two weeks r in the upper valley. Already seven to 12 feet above flood a stage from Evansville, Ind., to Cairo, a the river pushed to greater heights s as water loosed by heavy week-end rains flowed in from bank full tribu- taries.

Citizens' Group Debates Local' Relief Situation Many Faculty Men Attend Meeting Where Charges Are Investigated Sentiments on the local relief situ- ation were vehemently stated last night in the City Hall when members of the Parent-Teacher Association and the Citizen's Council asserted that school children are going under- nourished and badly clothed while the City Council is "occupied in sav- ing money on relief." At the regular meeting of the Citi- zens' Council, attended by more than 75 faculty and townspeople, mem- bers of the City Council declared they were investigating "great numbers of relief chiselers." Charles F. Wagg, Washtenaw Relief Administrator, previously said not more than five per cent of relief clients were not needy, but City Councilmen held it was necessary to duplicate the in- vestigating work of paid case work- ers because they had been "receiv- ing complaints of chiseling going on." Prof. John F. Shepard of the psychology department questioned the need for duplication. The session was begun with talksj by Wagg and Mrs. C. Brevoort of the Family Welfare Bureau. The second emphasized the "dire need" for se- curity and defended high budgets, saying the size of a family's allow- ance usually denoted many depen- dants or sickness. Representatives of the Parent-Teacher Association asserted that children were unable to compete in school because they were under-fed and had poor cloth- ing. Questions were fired at City Coun- cilman Frank Staffan inferring that 11Are Killed In Air Crash On Mountain lane Burns On High Peak After Going Off Course In Western Pennsylvania Air Hostess Among 3 W reck Survivors Accident Occured In Fog On New York-Pittsburg Run Yesterday Morning UNIONTOWN, Pa., April 7. -- (4) - ;escue crews working in a driving nowstorm carried the bodies of 11 ersons from the wreckage of a giant 'ranscontinental and Western air ner to an improvised morgue on estern Pennsylvania's highest moun- ain peak tonight. Only three escaped death of the 14 ho set out on the plane from New ork to Pittsburgh this morning. Two f the survivors--Mrs. Meyer C. El- enstein, wife of the mayor of Newark, .J., and Charles G.

Granger, the hostess-nurse board the pane, who although her- elf injured stumbled to a farm house o telephone the first news of the lisaster to her company offices. Air- me officials said Miss Granger was iding in the rear end of the plane. Only a wing, a part of the fuselage nd the tail of the plane remained fter the fire burst out in its mid- ection. State troopers, deputies and forest angers joined in the search for the oodies. Occurred at 10:20 a.m. Yesterday From the stories told by the few in- habitants of the sparsely settled re- gion, officers believed the crash oc- curred about 10:20 a.m. today--only a few minutes after the plane sent out ts last wireless signals and then apsed into silence. Miss Granger struggled through 200 yards of dense underbrush from the wrecked plane after the crash. She walked along a little-used lumber road and then turned to take the mud trail. There she met Harold Rankin who took her to a neighbor's where she telephoned the news to her company's offices. Dead Are Identified The dead, identified by the com- pany's passenger list, were: R.

For young Kelly the air trip was a reward from his mother for good scholarship. Dr. William C. McHugh, of the Uniontown Hospital said tonight the three survivors of the air liner crash have a good chance to re- cover.

The "kangaroo" court is a device whereby the cell-riates of the main cell-block of the county jail legislate,' administer and judge for themselves all laws relating to their well being. As explained by Edward "Red"I Roberts, judge of the local "kan- garoo" court who is now serving 601 days on a disorderly charge, the or- ganization was formed for the pur- pose of cooperating with the Sheriff's tain sanitary necessities that a man needs, such as shaving articles and toothpaste," Judge "Red" said. "Then too, no one is going to sit around without any money while another man is smoking 'tailor-made' cigar- ettes." The initial fine imposed on all men entering the cell block is 50 cents.! For the sake of the record, the in- mate on trial is charged with break- ing and entering. The fine is waived in the event that a newly admitted member is unable to supply the nec- cssary cash.
