Here are some of the new ones: A shoal in Florida bay, Monroe county, will be known as Arsenic Horseneck shoal. A village on the bank of Vernon river, will be known as Beulah nor Bewlie. And, after many years the island on which the Statue of Liberty stands, has been put down officially as Bedloe's Bedloe nor Bedlow. A creek In Missouri has given the board a lot of trouble. It's down In Wayne county, and It's to be called Big Brushy creek merely Brushy creek.

There's a creek nearby that people also have been calling Brushy creek. From now on it's to have a name of its Brushy creek. The neck of land in Princess Anne county, which some have been calling Chanty neck will be known as Charity neck. A stream in Arizona will be Dead Dead river. A lake In Burnett county, will be Des Moines Sucker lake nor Desmoines lake.

In California, it will be Devil's Devil's canyon. A mountain 3,025 feet high In Brewster county, will be designated as Cow Heaven mountain because cows used to like it.

"Then I cautiously made my way to the Austrian town of Hoechst on the Rhine river, across from Switzerland. There were two other fugitives there, and on the second night we swam the river. The Germans fired on us and one of my companions was wounded but we all got across." In Switzerland, Platz wrote his wife, informing her of his whereabouts and saying he would wait until she and their two sons, Kuno. 9, and Walter, 8, could join him. Mrs.

Flatz took up the story from there, saying she knew the Gestapo were watching her house and all her movements. With the help of friends, however, she raised $10.000 in German marks and one night escaped with the two boys without being spotted by the Ges- tapa. "We hid for two days and nights In haystacks while the Gestapo searched the countryside for us," Mrs. Flatz said. "Finally, we reached the Rhine, and there I hired two Austrian youths to swim across the river with me and my two boya.

It was a long, tough swim, but my husband was waiting for me." The Flatzes were unable to get permanent visas to enter the United States, because the German and Austrian Immigration quotas were exhausted, but they were granted transit visas en route to Australia. Laboratory Attache Visits Texas Tech Kyle Ward, from the new Southern Regional laboratory at New Orleans, built by the Bureau Chemicals and Soils of the United States Department of Agriculture conferred with Dr. R.

Ward expressed interest in all such investigation being done here. Nation's Banquets (Continued From Page One) here and candidates there," to his own salutation. Then, he departed again from his prepared speech to interpolate: "In a campaign year, every speech ought to start off that way." Homer Cummlngs, former attorney general, and chairman of the committee in charge, picked it up too, with an address to "presidentia possibilities and presidential improbabilities," While Mr. Roosevelt was reminding his intensely political audience that he had a secret he was nol telling, several of his high administration aides were openly urging a third term upon him. or making speeches coming very close to that.

Henry Wallace, secretary of agriculture, said at Das Moines that he hoped "the nominee in 1940 would be president Roosevelt." Robert Jackson, the attorney general designate, asserted at Cleveland that citizens generally want Roosevelt, and Paul V. McNutt, the federal security administrator observed at Raleigh N. that whatever Mr. Roosevelt's answer is, the accomplishments his administration must be preserved The three spoke at Jackson day dinners which were among 45 held simultaneously, and to all of which the president's speech was brought by radio. Not all of them charged the Washington rate of $100 a plate but the cost came high in most instances, and when the cheeks are all added up, parly leaders oxped the Democratic war-chest some 4700,000 the richer.

Crowds gathered outside the May- flow6r hotel anti in the lobby to see the notables. They were slow In arriving, and those who came early milled about exchanging greetings with old political friends and cheering those who came In later. Mostly the audience was composed of New Deal supporters in Congress, Democratic national committeemen, state commltteemen and the higherups of Washington officialdom. An exception was Senator Glais of Virginia, who has been at odds with the president on many matters, but almost never misses a Jackson day dinner. He came early, poked about the tables set aside for the lesser lights of the party, became a bit wrathy when he could not find It and ultimately discovered his name embossed In gold on one of the crimson place cards at the head table.

Almost simultaneously, Vice President Garner, Secretary Hull and Farley, entered nnd received a big burst of applause. Attorney General Murphy came In and also was accorded a generous ovation. Then came the president himself, on the arm of his son, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the latter with a broad piece of sticking plaster on his forehead, reminding the crowd of his recent automobile mishap. The orchestra played the Democratic theme song of 1932 "Happy Days Are Here Again" and there was great applause.

The president turned to Vice President Garner, ruddy and beaming over his voluminous white shirt front, grasped his hand, shot glances of recognition in a dozen directions, and then settled down to an animated chat with the vice president who has been his opponent on sev eral questions of vital new dea policy. The dinner was served, a repas of dlamondback terrapin soup, sea food a la newburg, heart of filet mlg non. salad, ice cream, and a white and red wine. Then came a momen of introductions. L.

Vice President Gamer. To the din that had greeted the others, there were added shouts of "speech, speech." The vice president grinned and pointed to the president as though to say the latter's address had been sufficient. "Ladles and gentlemen," Cum- mlngs commented when he could be heard, "I'm afraid you arc asking the impossible." To his twitting of the Republicans who would not come to the feast, and his other quips and jokes, Mr. Roosevelt added a glowing account of the administration and his confidence that they are approved by the people as a whole.

"The enormous task which the Democratic party has already performed in this generation has been to provide the energy and confidence to steer government in tho interest and under the direction of those of Dies Members Rap Methods WASHINGTON. Jan. 8. Three New Deal members of Dies H. Jerry Voorhis.

"And I am convinced that most people In the United States do have a a real feeling of pleasure In the moralities we have been moving forward these later years in the right direction." Thought emphasized The philosophical thread which ran through the address emphasised the thought that what made Jackson and others of the nation's great men truly great was a devotion to the good of tho whole nation, placed above what good for the party. Government more Important than politics, he said, but politics and tho two-party system are essential to the good of government. "Parties," hc said, "are good Instruments for the purpose of presenting and explaining Issues, of drumming up Interest In elections and of Improving the breed of candidates for public office." By comparison with Mr. Roosevelt's previous Jackson day speeches, the address was non-partisan.

Absent were the resounding blows at hla Republican foes and his critics within the Democratic party. And when all was said and done, there was no Intimation of what his third term plans may be, Klndnen sFor Garner While these praises for the president were being sounded. John W.

Garner is an avowed candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

"I and admire, as do you, Sanos said, "the courage and integrity and the personality of the distinguished and able vice president of the United States, John Nance Garner, of Texas." Meanwhile some looked, but none oo hopefully, for an answer to the hlrd-term riddle from Mr. Roosevelt himself in the course of the principal speech of the Jackson day observance, at the $100-a-plate din- ier here.
