TIIE COURIER JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1939. SECTION I Flood-Devastated Sections of Breathitt County Are Quarantined 10 3 Survivors World's Shortest Air Mail Route Grand Jury In To Probe Bund Medical Units To Fight Disease McNutt Makes Political Peace With Farley Hoosier Also Talks With "Roosevelt Is Launched In 4 New Jersey Camp Activity Group's License For Liquor Revoked Newark, N. July 6 OP) Prosecutor Charles T. Downing said tonight he would recall the Sussex County grand jury next week so that it might investigate activities of the German-American Bund at Camp Nordland, Andover. Downing's announcement came on the heels of revocation of the camp's temporary liquor license by D.

Frederick Burnett, State Alcoholic Beverage Commissioner, on the ground that the law had been defied in wearing of the swastika by uniformed members of the bund. Another Hearing. A third facet of the fight over the bund camp, precipitated by war veterans who charged that activities there were un-American, will get the spotlight tomorrow, when the Andover Township Committee will hold another hearing on the bund's application for the meeting was a very pleasant one. McNutt also visited Secretary Hopkins, another who has been mentioned for the candidacy. In another sector, Secretary Ickes agreed to hold a radio debate on the Town Hall of the Air October 5 with Gen.

Hugh Johnson, critic of Ickes, the third term and the New Deal. In the current Look. Johnson describes Ickes as a Cabinet officer with no more authority than "a P.uddha sitting on a lotus leaf, contemplating his navel." Today at his press conference, Ickes shot back: "I am glad he realizes I can still see it. I'm not sure I can say the same for him." Without disclosing whether Mr. Roosevelt had encouraged or discouraged him to run for Xht Presidency, McNutt reported they had a delightful time together.

No Campaign Interruption. "Efforts are being made on your behalf by friends in Indiana, a reporter suggested. "Will they stop now?" "I see no reason why they should stop," McNutt replied. Good-naturedly, he asked the newsmen: "Please give me a hreak and let me keep my mouth shut until things open up a little bit." Friends of McNutt have been booming him for the Presidential nomination as a "middle-of-the-road New Dealer." Asked about "this middle-of-the-road business at his press conference, he said: "That's usually the safest place to drive when the road is clear, it is." This autogiro is approaching its landing place on the roof of the postoffice at Philadelphia with the first hag of auto giro air mail. (ap wirephoto.

Philadelphia, July 6 (JP) A third largest city became an "airport" today as an autogiro took off and landed on it in the first scheduled flights of the world's shortest air mail route. Mail was flown between the top of the new Philadelphia postoffice and central airport, six miles away in Camden, N. J. Today's flights started an experimental service authorized by Congress two years ago with a $40,000 appropriation. 5 Round Trips Daily.

The schedule lists five round trips a day, except Sundays and holidays. Each takes about fifteen (Continued from First Tage.) on W.P.A. projects as a result of the curtailments imposed under the new Relief Act, the product of a long investigation in which Representative Emmet O'Neal, of Louisville, took a leading part. Thousands of workers in Kentucky were affected. Before the day was over, everybody in Washington concluded that the 1940 campaign was on, and that it was being spurred both by the activities of candidates and by happenings in Congress.

Acts Like a Candidate. Unlike Senator Smathers, McNutt did not draw the deduction from his White House conversation that Mr. Roosevelt intended to seek a third term. After leaving the White House, he still talked and acted like a full-fledged candidate, although he reiterated at his press conference this morning that his candidacy has been based all along on the idea that Mr. Roosevelt would not be a candidate.

McNutt's press conference was a de luxe affair in a hotel suite, but it was nothing like the party staged for the Hoosier last year when thousands of Washing-tonians were invited to greet him. That party launched the McNutt candidacy, but it also entailed some sourness in Administration circles. Today, McNutt said he was "loyal" to his "Chief." His press conference, indeed, was an adroit affair, managed so that the Indiana man would neither lose status as a candidate or incur the ill will of any other group. Most significant of McNutt's activities, however, was his visit to Farley, who became hostile to the Hoosier, so it is said, when the Indiana delegation to the Chicago 1932 convention, under Governor McNutt's leadership, failed to come instructed for Roosevelt. Farley is a possible opponent of a Roosevelt third term, and the assumption that he.

is a candidate gives him and McNutt something in common. McNutt Visits Hopkins. After their long chat, Farley said neither had discussed the third term but both expressed hopes for success of the Democratic Party next year.

I didn't just rightly know where I did get out of the river." Mrs. Pelfrcy, comforted in the hospital by her father, I. S. Miller, former Wolfe County Judge, said after she got loose from the drift in which she was snagged, she drifted downstream, then hit an other one. Wife Climbed a Tree.

She succeeded in climbing up on this drift and made her way to a tree, crawled into its branches, and made her way ashore. Then, she scrambled up a mountainside and walked for miles before she found some men who were searching for survivors and victims where Frozen Creek empties into the Kentucky River. Mrs. Deaton is the only surviving member of a family of seven, surprised in their beds when the Sylvester Hollow branch of Frozen Creek rocked their home from its foundations and dashed it to destruction. This is her story "It all happened so fast.

My little daughter, Lilly Mae, 10 wakened me and said. 'Mama, I'm afraid the water's coming in under the door. It had been raining awfully hard but I didn't think anything like that would happen. "I started to wake up Dad and Mother and Barney and Delilah Deaton, and the rest of the chil dren, but all at once the house just seemed to give a jump and went to pieces. All I know is that I floated out and hit a tree.

I hung on and somehow I climbed up into the branches of a tree that was still standing. Next thing I remember was someone trying to get me to come down but I wouldn't let go. It took several men to remove Mrs. Deaton from her perch. Warned Month Ago.

Another tragic story came with light today when W. C. Maloney Hazard coal miner, revealed that Mrs. Gilia Ann Trader, 78, his grandmother and one of the flood victims, had warned him a month ago in a letter that something drastic would happen in their family on July 4. He described his attempts to jolly her out of such a frame of mind when he visited her only twelve hours before the cloudbui and upsurge of Frozen Creek which took her life Wednesday.

"When I left Grandma Prader to go back to Hazard to work, I kidded her about her idea. I thought it was funny at the time when she replied. 'Just you wait and see, the Fourth isn't over "Well, it doesn't seem so funny now, of course. While it didn't really happen on the Fourth, it was so soon afterwards well, I don't know," Mr. Maloney said.

His aunt, Mrs. W. E. Tolson, also was drowned. Dinner Friday to Honor Minister Leaving City A farewell dinner honoring the Rev.

Subsequently, the Building Trades Council A.F.L.) of New York City voted unanimously to call out all its members on W.P.A. jobs in "a strike to the finish." President Thomas Murray esti mated 25,000 to 30.000 skilled workmen would quit and be joined by an equal number of others. Building trades union officials in Cleveland also ordered 7,500 skilled workers to walk out, while 500 workers at a mass meeting in Duluth, decided to remain on strike with 2,500 others at least until Monday, the deadline for dismissal.

Therefore, we invite all official headquarters at various paints where instructions rru5t be given, to get such messes to WHAS." The Mayor's office reported it had received several offers of boats to be sent to Eastern Kentucky. Because the flash flood waters recede very quickly and tne water is not spread over a wide area, boats, other than those in the immediate territory, are not reeded. Dr.

Caudill told those who relayed the offer. Fifteen doctors and five nurses sre ready to go into the area, Acting Mayor Broaddus said.

Much land has been ruined throughout the valleys, at least until extensive rehabilitation work can be done. This reporter and Arthur Ab-fier, photographer for The Courier-Journal, walked long hours through the devastated area near here last night.

Where once there had been little settlements, farm acres, livestock, nothing left but water-wrecked marks of where these communities had been. Mud, debris, twisted bridge structures, gouged out road, and the of frogs gave the whole scene an eerie, vacant character, At Van Cleve and Wilhurst, relatives of those who had lived along the creek's course there came to. ask hesitantly about onetime residents of the communities. A group of four women, informed that a girl relative of all of them definitely was known to have drowned, fell to their knees on the wet concrete and wailed out their mourning and their prayers. House Stopped By Bridge.

From the wide space on the road which marked the location of the big general store operated at Wilhurst by Walter Rose, whose wife and daughter vanished in the swirling, muddy flood, we tramped to Van Cleve, where against the remains of a concrete bridge rested what was left of the eleven-room home of the A. L. Hatton family. Mrs. Hatton and her three children escaped when the house jarred to an abrupt stop against the bridge-work and permitted the occu'-pants to swim and scramble to safety on nearby high ground.

They climbed out a window in a third-story room. Here, too, was the Van. Cleve Methodist Missionary School which bowled downstream on the crest of the wall of water, with its residents frantically tolling the school bell, praying and screaming for help in the gray dawn, while watchers on high ground stood by, horror-stricken and he'pless to aid them. Twelve of the nineteen students were believed lost. The rest escaped.

Breathitt County, authorities said, was in need of food, clothing and medicines. Authorities asked that trucks be sent to transport the goods to the wrecked Frozen Creek Bridge, on State Route 15, and from there they could be carried by workers to the higher, undamaged homes where the homeless are being cared for. Friday morning, the Red Cross will distribute a week's supply of food to 100 families in the stricken area.
