FURTHER FLOODS FROM
OHIO RIVER EXPECTED

Doctors Report Health Conditions Are
Good. Inoculations Effected
(By The Associated Press)
Undated, March 23, —
The unchecked Ohio River
flood-waters poured thru a
score of small communities
in Kentucky and Ohio to
day, a last meance in the
13-state disaster which has
already taken 101 lives and
rendered thousands home
less in New England and
Pennsylvania.
The swollen waters in
the North are slowly reced
ing. Cincinnati and Ports
mouth, Ohio are battening
down against the imminent
approach of the Ohio flood
crest.
Hartford, Connecticutt is
under strict military disci
pline, enforced to prevent
looting.
The National Guard is
keeping all visitors out of
the affected districts, as
they aided the Red Cross
and WPA workers care for
eight thousand refugees.
The damage here is esti
mated at twentyfive million
dollars.
Many inoculations have
been accomplished against
typhoid. Twenty residents,
of Hartford are reported l
missing. Physicians in their
reports called health condi
tions good in most of the
mud-caked Pennsylvania
towns.
Small communities and
villages are sorrowfully
burying their hundred and
twenty-five dead, as relief
agencies are taxed to the
limit to provide for the
homeless throughout the
flooded areas.

I! Dnce Says Move Accomplished So As
Be Ready European War
(By The Associated Press)
Rome. March 23, Prem

abolished the Italian Cham

Fascists and Corporations”.
He also abolished large,
private industries, leaving
only medium and small
industries in existence, on
this the 17th anniversary of
the founding of the Fascist
Partv.

The abolition was done
he said, to increase the na
tion’s economic self suffi
ciency, in preparation of
a possible European war.
“When and how it will
come, I do not know, but
the wheel of fate turns
fast”, he declared.
The national council of
guilds composed of twenty
two productive, credit,
^ansport, agricultural and
pi ufessionul cerporatiav-s*.
said that large industries
would be run directly or in
directly by the government
—and some with a mixed
organization.
Concerning sanctions he
said: “The seige is now in
its fifth month and will
never bend Italy. Only op
aque ignorance could have
brought or thought other
wise.”
Mussolini concluded to
day a series of three con

Schuschnigg of Austria, be
lieved to have resulted in a

Investments Fur
Farms On Gain
It Is Reported
(By The Associated Pr‘>ss)
Washington, D. C., March
Fur animals are an import
ant & profitable farm crop,
not only in supplementing
the natural supply, but also
in using land of little value
for field crops.
No branch of animal pro
duction, says the biological
survey, has developed more
rapidly during the depres
sion nor has resulted in
, greater profits than silver
fox farming, and this at a
time when some farm com
modities scarcely had a
; market. Investment in fur
j farming is now estimated
i at $50,000,000. Fox farm
ers in 1934-35 harvested
j 170,000 pelts, having a to
tal value of approxirr
$7,000,000.
Fur farming, says th
eau, is now establisl
35 states and is not in
petition with any oth
pe of farming. The i
try is organized, with
national, 15 regions i
1G state associations.
