The "Committee of 13," of the League of Nations, which adjourned today to meet next Thursday, requested that Dr.

Augusto Vasconcellos of Portugal, president of the League's sanctions committee, convoke 'that body "when he considers it useful in the interest of peace." May Set Up New Rules Unconfirmed reports circulated among the delegates that Premier Mussolini intends to enthrone a puppet emperor of at Dessye when and if his soldiers subjugate the last strongholds of Emperor Haile Selassie's forces. The session of the Committee of 13, composed of every member of the League Council except Italy, was marked by wrangling between Anthony Eden, British foreign secretary, and 'Pierre-Etienne Flandin, French foreign minister. Eden insisted that the committee of 13, should be linked with all peace negotiations because the Ethiopians have announced that they will refuse any direct contact with Italian plenipotentiaries, at least for the present, and that League representatives must always be present at the negotiations. Flandin remarked that if the Ethiopians persisted in this attitude, everyone would know who was responsible for the of the The French said that some direct negotiations inevitable. Must Help, Eden'-retorted that a clear, case of aggression with -the victim appealing to.

the League of Nations-for help: the League must help!" declared Eden. The impression which prevailed hi League circles was that, if, by next Tuesday, there were no indications of peace within a reasonable period; or that negotiations showed no hope of succeeding because of Italian opposition, the British would demand new and drastic action. The league members who also represent the signatories of the Locarno Treaty, began discussions of the Rhineland situation. The French diplomats present said they hoped for a four-power political, and military front against Germany. They indicated they would insist that Great Britain, Belgium, and Italy align themselves with France in opposing construction of any German fortifications in the border area.

Red Cross Stays Out The league suffered something of a setback in its investigation of the'alleged use of poisoa gas by the Italians when the International Red Cross refused to turn over its data on the subject. The Red Cross pleaded that it was investigating allegations of inhumane warfare made by both sides and that, as a neutral organization, it wished to make no report until a thorough and impartial investigation had been completed.

Ah oyster supper was served. In the call for contributions of incidents concerning the flood, The Express has received a good response. 'One ot the best pieces contributed is "The Log of the Flood," which was written paragraph by paragraph from time to time beginning early on the morning cf Wednesday, March 18, and continuing to late afternoon of the following day, the times when the waters were producing their greatest threats. Eye-Wltness Story This bit-by-bit, eye-witness account, written Mrs. J.

Nassau Gauntt, 100 Henderson Street, at the corner of Bald Esgle Street, where she lives in a second story apartment in building formerly occupied by the Krape hardware store on the first floor. She started it as a letter but continued it as something for a permanent record for her children to keep. Mrs. Gauntt said in the letter she told of the people fearing a flood, of her walking to the river with her children to see thf height of the water, obtaining additional food from a store on tneir return, of her neighbors taking their furniture to the second floors of their homes, of her husband going to the Garden Theatre to assist there, of the water moving cut Henderson Street and the River and Bald Eagle Creel: meeting near her home at 2 a. m.

Wednesday. The log, vivid and entertaining as any flood story follows, just as Mrs. Gauntt wrote it: March a. m. We are entirely surrounded by water now and it is coming into the lower hall.

Stevenson to work put the problem of getting the parochial school of Sf. Agnes Catholic Church open, it was felt that the matter of equipment can be taken care of in some manner and the school opened some time next week.

Those'at the meeting, Mayor Councilman I. Charles F. Coira, Louis Coira, John Clark, H. Kenneth Griffin J. Donald viited theTrchool and inspected the Damage done.

The wooden part of the seats will have to-be replaced. It was thought it could be done here, but since there is a curve in the back of the seats there is no equipment in the city that could replace Mr. Coira was appointed as a committee of one to contact, manufacturer this morning and see what the wooden part of the seats would cOst, if they could be replaced at once and on what terms: Allison Township Give Books In the matter of books Allison TOwnship Board of Education has already -donated a large supply of books can be used in the first three grades. Superintendent N. L.

Bartges, who was unable to be present but who was contacted later, is today making a check on what else, will be.needed in the line of books and thinks he can supply what ever is lacking. There will be some expense attached to all this but it is felt that the public spirited citizens, who can afford it will probably come to-the rescue and. supply enough money to care for the- equipment and supplies. It- win probably not be great amount, as the labor can be furnished free in repairing the seats and the books probably can be'supplied free. The necessary repairs to the building'Will be minor in nature.

There are about 45 students effected by the closing of the school. If these were sent to the public schools, the'city would.be required to'hire ah extra teacher and'the already overcrowded condition would be even worse. 1 'Mayor Stevenson srid this morning, while.the committee did not want-to: build up any false hopes yet-he felt' sure that the problem will-be taken care of and the people; of the city would see that the school, was able-to open sometime next week.

The Red Cross is chartered by the United States government and may go into all communities that have been stricken by disasters to render service to the distressed people. Miss Johnson, said. The organization, however, is not supervised by the government but is under the direct control of Congress. It must look to the American people for its financial support. The basis for assistance in time of- calamity was discussed by the The Red Cross gives assistance to families affected by the flood who have needs which they have no-means of The Red Cross does not take care of charity, the speaker said, pointing out that in Lock Haven many people have the wrong impression of the purpose of the organization.

The purpose -of the Red Cross is to assist with needs in time of calamity. No two families can possibly be treated alike by the' Red Cross, since no two families have the same income, the same home conditions, the same standards. The Red Cross takes care of families who have been on the relief, and families who have never had to apply for any type of assistance, but who as a result of disaster, must be cared for. When it is necessary sufferers are provided through clothes and food commissaries. Later the Red Cross issues order for purchases which may be made at any store of the families' choice, provided the merchandise is priced within reason.

The Red Cross expects to remain in Lock Haven until the middle of May or June 1, Miss Johnson said.

The reunion will be held April 18, at the 77th Division dub house, 28 East 39th Street, New York. The celebration will open with a dinner and the remainder oi! the evening will be spent in reminiscences and a general good time. Total of 28,000 "Shots" Administered to Prevent Post- Flood Epidemic FREE SHOTS END SATURDAY At least 8,000 people of Lock Haven and vicinity were inoculated against typhoid fever following the flood.

A total of 28,000 treatments were given and at least 24,000 were administered to people who returned for all three of the inoculations required for immunity from typhoid. It is estimated that about 10,000 and 11,000 returnee for the second treatment, and about 8,000 returned to complete the immunity series. Serum Supplied Free- All the serum used in this treatment was supplied free by the State Department of Health, some coming by airplane from the U. S. Navy Yard at Philadelphia and subsequent supplies by truck from Harrisburg and Philadelphia.

After tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, however, no more free inoculations will be given. Those who desire the treatment after that time will have to go to their family physicians. The typhoid immunization treatment followed here consists of three "shots," the first being a one- half cc. (cubic centimeter) of serum and two subsequent treatments of one cc. each, so that a total of two ccs.

was given each person. The cost of such a treatment, if received from private sources, would be about $5. Last Free Treatments inoculations today and tomorrow will be given at the hcrtne of Mrs: Helen S. Sells, state nurse, at 205 West. Church Street.

Largely due, it is thought, to the prompt inoculation campaign, no typhoid cases have developed here. There has been some pneumonia, but scarcely more than normal amount for this season of the year, and the deaths which have taken place since the Hood have been, for the most part, elderly people who were not in good health when the flood inflicted its shock upon them. Special Session Call to Cover Bond Refunding, Social Security, State Institutions HARRISBURG, Earle announced that he would include proposals for abatement of Penalties on real estate taxes in his call for the special session of the Legislature which is also to provide both flood and unemployment relief.

Farrandsville boasts of but one boat which, manned by the Probst boys, plowed gallantly through that first black flood night rescuing people from their windows, carrying valuables and clothes to higher points of elevation, saving animals and chickens, and bringing food and provisions from Shearer's Store. The mad waters once capsized their boat while transporting about i 100 chickensTto safety, and they lost their lantern but not their' lives and boat and chickens. Struggling in about 15 feet of wild flood water, they skillfully righted their boat, got aboard again, and saved 63 chickens from drowning.

Went To Hospital Their rescue work continued until the third day when Frank suffered a complete collapse and was taken on a litter via the railroad motor car (dinky) operated by H. T. Crawford, accompanied by several Farrandsville men. to the Normal crossing.
