(P) A hitch developed today in Austrian accept ance of agreements reached Satur dav between Reichsfuehrer Hitler and Austria's Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg. President Wilhelm Miklas was reported withholding approval. Schuschnigg discussed his inter view with Hitler for many hours with Miklas, Foreign Minister Guido Schmidt and other ministers, but late today had failed to gain their approval. Informed sources said Schuschnigg reminded Hitler Saturday anything agreed between them would be sub ject to Miklas' acceptance. The President was said to be withhold ing this because he objected to Hitler's suggestion that a Nationalist or Nazi be made Austria's minister of the interior in full charge of police.

FRONTIER GUARDED The Hitlcr-Schuschnigg under standing was reported to include references to ending German Nazi propaganda in Austria, to Austria permitting' Nazi meetings as freely as monarchist meetings and to Aus trian Cabinet changes favoring Nazis or at least Nationalists. Travelers reaching Vienna from Salzburg reported the route be twecn the German and Italian frontierr by way of Innsbruck was heavily guarded, giving rise to rumors of further diplomatic jour neys. General doubt as to the real back 'ground of the Hitler-Schuschnigg conference continued. Several hundred workers at two factories sought to hold a meeting this morning to protest against the possibility that Nazification of Aus tria might be Trade union officials ordered their men to cancel the meeting. NEW COOPERATION Extension of the German-Austrian accord of July, 1930.

would be cal culated to set the two countries on a new road of cooperation. The 1936 agreement provided mutual respect for the integrity of internal affairs and Austria recognized her self vaguely as a Germanic state. However, little real result was ap- arent, this agreement. Well informed sources said that in to emphasize, in his Reichstag spreoh, recognition of Austria's full independence if Austria would curb its monarchist movement. Schuschnigg's interview with Hitler appears to have strengthened Austria's position as the connecting but independent link of the Rome-Berlin axis.

NAZIS IN CABINET? The situation is no wise clear yet, but three somewhat contradictory details have developed: 1 Schuschnigg must decide soon whether he will put two or three Nazis in his Cabinet, thus recognizing Austrian National socialism as a movement on a par with the monarchist movement despite the ban on political parties other than the pro-Government Fatherland Front. Here the religious issue enters, for strongly Catholic Austria eyes askance German religious measures as well as the possibility the Nazi party would insist on union with Germany. 2 Premier Mussolini of Italy strongly advised Hitler and Schuschnigg to patch up their quarrel over Nazi influence in Austria in order to save the Rome-Berlin axis. Vienna political circles sa'id II Duce used as a threat his own growing friendship with Britain which might isolate Germany. 3 Schuschnigg told Hitler Austria needed an entirely free hand and did not propose to change her policy.

Fatherland Front circles said the chancellor won this point. Diplomatic circles said Hitler had wanted to end July 11, 1930 Continued Page Col. 6 Six islands of the San foaquin and Sacramento Rivers delta, with another 15,000 acres under cultivation, were mundSted. The United States Weather Bureau predicted that the rain today, the "19th consecutive day of precipitation, will be the last in the Bay region for oseveral days. Partly cloudy weather was forecast for this area tomorrow.

But the prediction was for more rain tonight and tomorrow along the coast north of here and for snow in the Sierra. The storm siege of the week-end increased the death toll, continued to spread flood waters in low areas, disrupted communications, halted rail and highway traffic anjl harassed shipping. DAMAGE MOUNTS Further loss came this morning from the overflowing of the San Joaquin, lower Sacramento and Stanislaus rivers. Tugs, dredges and other craft from Stockton joined with the men in seeking to strengthen levees against a crisis expected at high tide at 5 p. m.

The San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers still were rising, in their lower stretches. The Weather Bureau's San Joaquin guage between Stockton and Tracy was .03 feet above the 17-foot flood stage shortly before noon and rising one-tenth of a foot an hour. The 5000-acre River Junction Farms, southwest of Manteca; 2000 acres of the Crittenden-Ranch and ,1000 acres of the Rossi ranch were inundated by water pouring through lvee breaks near the confluence of the Stanislaus and San Joaquin. Four San Joaquin delta islands covered were the 5300-acre Mande-ville Island, planted to corn and sugar berts; the 1000 acres of asparagus on Quimby Island, 100-acre Rhode Island, and 3800-acre Frank's tract. Five thousand acres of asparagus on Liberty and Prospect islands in the Sacramento delta were inundated.

OTHERS IMPERILED Donlan and Mildred Islands were Imperiled. Residents said the, islands would be inundated if high tides and heavy wipds came at the same time. Two other islands. Venice and Bouldin, were saved from flooding by workmen who strengthened levees with sandbags. Hundreds of men worked for hours to place the bulwarks.

Three deaths in separate areas of the State brought the death total during the 19-day storm to 20. These were the new deaths: Nicholas Runn, San Francisco, drowned while fishing in Marin County; Lawrence Grubb, railroad employee, run down by a train near Dunsmuir. and Tony Sparcevich, miner, crushed in an avalanche near Bridgeport. Heavy rains along the upper Sacramento River heightened apprehension in the Colusa Sacramento area, where levees werSyweakened bv saturation, and where jome 000 acres of rich farmingVJgndal- ready was inundated. DANGER AT JUNCTION A total of 60,000 acres of farm (ands was covered by flood waters In Stanislaus County, the Associated Press said.

A flood 15 long and five miles wide spread to within five miles of Manteca, Stanislaus County town directly, south of Stockton. There was a possibility that the Stanislaus levee above Manteca n.ight break and flood the town. The surging Sacramento River Carried the threat of flood to the Continued Page II, Col. 1 Crop Control Plan, Already Approved Ey House, Goes to F. R.

Before the vote, the measure un derwent a bipartisan fire of criti cism in three hours of debate. Pro ponents, sure of victory, made little attempt to detend the measure irom this eleventh hour attack. McNARY WARNS Senator McNary Ore.) told the Senate the crop control pro gram would make every farmer "i vassal of the secretary ot agricul ture." "This bill does only one new thing for farmers," he said.

"It puts new restrictions upon them and blankets them with compulsion.

(P)- The Pacific Gas and Electric Com pany failed In the Supreme Court today in an effort to enjoin the sale of $22,000,000 of bonds by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District for construction of a competing power system.

TOKYO HINTS AT UNOFFICIAL NAVAL REPLY TOKYO, Feb. 14. (IP) The Japa nese Foreign Office spokesman intimated today that Japan might be willing to provide naval construction information if the request was made unofficially. Expressing his personal opinion, the spokesman said "it would be better if the powers would approach Japan unofficially." If they did so, he added, it was possible they might have better success with Japan." Saturday Japan refused to tell the United States, Great Britain and France her naval building plans Her formal note In reply to re quests of the three powers insisted, however, that Japan had "no intention" of maintaining a fleet that would menace other Nations. Asked what would constitute an unofficial reply on naval con struction, the spokesman aid not amplify his statement other than to point out that such a reply would not be "legally binding.

NO TACT PROPOSED He answered a question on whether Japan might be willing to consider a "gentlemen's agreement" on naval building with a shake of his head and the assertion that he was not proposing anything of that nature, The Tokyo newspaper Nichi Nichi editorially accused the United States of taking advantage of Nip1 pon's present financial burdens to "check Japan by means of naval power." 'The United States is of the opinion that at this time, when Japan is bearing heavy burdens on account of the China incident, that if the United States begins an armament expansion race with Japan or induces Japan to attend a disarmament conference, the United States will be bB to lower the naval power of lTipjper charged. employment "Problems "Moreover, there is the necessity of planning a rise in munitions and heavy industries for the solution of the unemployment issue in the United States." Nichi Nichi described 'future trends" in the United States as: armament fit Japan will be made the pretext for considerable armament expansion and the United States will attempt to guide Japan to a position where Japan will be forced to participate in a certain disarmament agreement. 'The United States will not de-. sire to reveal cooperation with Great Britain on the surface, but as far as armaments expansion is concerned will carry out expansion under a certain tacit agreement with Britain."

Today, learning that a Japanese patrol was about to seek entrance to the American zone at the intersection of the Yuyaching and Nan king roads, marine authorities sent a detachment of 12 marines to stop them.

These 12, with th six marines already there, halted the Japanese. Bystanders said that the incident passed without tension, and later in the day the Japanese were permitted to send troops in trucks apparently destined for the Japanese defense zone through the marine tone.

(yr)-Ishbel MacDonald, daughter of the late Ramsay MacDonald, once cam paigned for use of the term "bachelor girl" instead of "old maid." Now she says she doesn't care.

0. 0. Mclntyre Dies in N. Y. Columnist Famous For His Depictions Of Big City Life NEW YORK, Feb.

VD Oscar Odd Mclntyre, newspaper columnist to whom millions of Americans looked for their impressions of New York City, died today in his Park Avenue apartment. of the most famous news men of the Nation, he came to New York from a small Ohio town, arid always boasted he never lost the naive curiosity of the "home town boy." For a quarter of a century his daily column, 'New York Day by Day," gained increasing fame, and in recent years was published in more than 500 news papers. Mclntvre. who would have been 54 Friday, died at 2 o'clock morning. Cause of death was nod known his health had not been good for some time.

HIS LAST REQUEST Only Mrs. Mclntyre was with the columnist when he died. She said his last "Turn your face towards me so I can see you." Mclntyre wrote his last column, as yet unpublished, in bed on Saturday after having breakfast on a tray. His illness became serious Friday, the last day he left his apartment. Charles B.

Driscoll, editor of Mc-Naught's Syndicate and long-time friend of Mclntyre, said: "At the last he seemed to become exhausted and just went to sleep," adding the exact cause of death could not be ascertained until the death certificate is issued by the medical examiner. Driscoll said funeral services would be held at Gallipolis, probably Thursday. He lived much alone in recent years, doing his work in his richly-furnished apartment, aided in great measure by his wife, the lormer Maybcllo Hope Small, of Gallipo lis, Ohio. Friday also would have been his 30th wedding anniversary. BEGAN IN GALLIPOLIS Mclntyre began his newspaper career on the Gallipolis Journal in 1902.

He left Gallipolis for the East Liverpool, Ohio, Tribune, then be came managing editor of the Dayton, Ohio, Herald, and later as sistant managing editor of the Cincinnati Post, The "big town lure finally brought him to New York as associate editor of Hampton's Magazine in 1912. In a few months Wfthad started the brisk-phrased jottings which brought him fame and for-tune as one of the highest-paid newspaper writers in.the world. Although Mclntyre typ.iia tne "typical New Yorker" to his le gions of readers, he never pretended to the veneer of New York sophis tication. He took pride, rather, in baing a "small town boy" who was forever fascinated by the passing scene of the "big city." MASTER PHRASE-MAKER 1 A master of both crisp and whim sical phrase-making, Mclntyre de lighted in one or two-word descrip tions of the countless celebrities who became his friends. Among i them were Irvin S.

Cobb, the late Ray Long, Gene Fowler, Major Bowes and almost every shining star of the Broadway firmament. He disliked crowds. Much his material he gathered while being driven in his big limousine by his chauffeur on nocturnal sorties through the Tiarrow, twisted streets of Chinatown a scene he loved to depict with imaginative shud ders. A shy man, fiankly admitting he was "scared to death" of trying to warm up ar conversation with many of the celebrities he wrote about, he remained in comparative seclusion with his wife and his beloved dogs. Not Infrequently his daily column contained a heart-moving paragraph or two on some tragic story of dogdom.

In turning out his daily stmt, ap proximately 800 words, or about 292,000 words a year, Mclntyre started work after breakfast with the blinds drawn and the lamps lit because he hated sunlight and carried on until the job was done, about this Government's atti tude toward requests that the United States call a conference, remarked many things uie ucing puoasnea aillerent capitals about movements for dis armament. He added, however, would prefer to let his questioner! draw their own conclusions. PEOPLE ALARMED King's resolution said "the increase in world armaments is causing deep concern among the people of all -Nations and is regarded by them a Provocative of International con-It declared also "such increase imposes heavy burdens of taxation upon the people and every form of industry and interrupts trade and commerce among Nations." King proposed, therefore, that the President "requested to invite the Governments jvith which the United States has diplomatic relations" to a conference to be held in. Washington "in the interest of world peace and the relief of all Nations from the burdens of inordinate and unnecessary expenditures for arma-ments." PITTMAN DOUBTFUL However, Chairman Pittman (D Of the Senate Fnroinn RelationstCommittee, whose views on foreign policy generally coincide withtbpse of the Administration, toldreporteri calling such a conference at this time would "indicate weakness" on the part of this coun. try and would be unlikely to succeed.

Naval experts, Fish said, have stated Japan could not attack this country successfully even with navy as large as the American fleet." "Why can't we give Japan equality," he asked, "unless we intend to do what I think we are try-ing to do, and that is police and quarantine the world" The now defunct London naval treaty allowed Britain and the United States Navies of equal strength and Japan a Navy in the ratio of 3 to 5 as compared with the United States. ARMS PARLEY URGED Fish testified at hearings on the-proposed $800,000,000 naval expan-sion program. He said he believed the Navy now "is larger than necessary for all purposes of National defense." Others in Congress proposed thai the United States take the lead in calling an international disarmament conference, despite hints that the Administration is cool toward the idea. Senator King Utah) and Representative Maverick Tex.) formally advocated such a conference lhey said Japan and other powers might be willing to ease the world situation by discussing curbs on world navies. Senator Pittman (D chairman of the Senate Foreign Relation Committee, suggested, however, that "political antagonisms" spoil the chances of a fruitful parley.

BIGGER SHIPS LIKELY. Maverick contended that the Japanese note of Saturday, refusing ta divulge Japan's naval building plans, which Hull deplored as "encouraging rather than discouraging races in armanent building," did shut the door to international agree ment. Let's have a naval conference, however irritated Nations may be, suggested Maverick. "It may save, a war." Senator King said he was particu larly interested in keeping taxpay- Continued Page 2, Col.

Latest Moscow reports were that only 20 miles of ice-filled sea separated the campers, off Greenland, and the Taimyr, and that the rescue ship had prepared two planes for the 20-mile flight to bring back the scientists drifting through polar seas since last May.
