Th landslides In Tokyo and YokO' hama were the worst disasters, Eighteen person were crushed or smothered to death In the heart of Tokyo when part of th estate of Baron Takaklml Mitsui slipped hort- ly after the earthquake. Forty others were entombed and their fate was not known. A similar caUuitrophe burled five houses In Yokohama, where a foot cliff collapsed. Two women, each with her two chlldrtn, were xmea. With their hushands fighting In China, they had lived under the same roof. Three persons In another family were drowned when a baby fen Into a pool of water and Its parents dlred In. but In vain, trying to rescue It. Roar I.Ike Train. "There waa a terrible roar like a train crossing a bridge," a Yoko- hama newspaper said. "A huge cur tain of red dust momentarily ob scured the scene. "Whore, a moment before, a clus ter of houses had stood, there now were only Jumbled, splintered wood twisted tin roofs oozing mud and silence. A noted lawyer, unable to reach his home here Wednesday night be cause of the high water, found his residence crushed under the lnnd slide this morning. Ho recovered his wife's body. "The slip came without warning," an eye-witness said, "It sounded like the roll of distant thunder and then the whole face of the hill seemed to tremble and suddenly It fell. 'Twelve houses underneath "X hurried to whero I heard cries and muffled moans, I saw an arm stretch up through the muck and debris. I grabbed It and pulled out a small boy. He dazedly wiped mud from his eyes, then wo both ran, rearing another slide." 12 Miner Killed. A freak accident at Kobe killed 13 miners. Thoy were ascending In an elevator when surface machinery, resting on saturated earth, suddenly toppled. The elevator coble anapped. dropping the cage to the depths of the mine. , Same homes In Tokyo were Inun dated to their second floors and In many water was six feet deep.

C, June 30 (AP) Herbert Hoover, former president of the United States who arrived to day, termed as "sheer nonsense" sug gestions that "International compli cations" might arise out of building of the proposed Alaska highway through British Columbia. "There can be no such thin as international complications between the United States and Canada," said Hoover, who Is here to start a flsh- in trip. Mr. Hoover was accompanied by two members of his former cabinet Dr. Hoy Lyman Wilbur, president "of Stanford university, secretary of the nterlor in the Hoover admlnlstra lon. and Arthur M. Hyde, one-time secretary of agriculture. Hoover said he did not care to talk politics on his vacation. Fishing and politics do not mix, ha said. "There are only two avenues to privacy left in these days when it Is harder and harder to get away from telephones and people. They are prayer and fishing, t strongly rec- : ommend both," ho added. Asked to comment on the Indiana election, Mr. Hoover wild: "I have nothing to say. I left poli tic at the border. I'm going fishing." HERO'S WIDOW IS Closing time for Too Late to Clas sify Ada is 1:30 p m. NEW YORK, June 30. (pf A su preme court order, obtained at the last minute, delayed the scheduled sale of the modest Brooklyn home of Mrs. Sadie Leslie Monseen, widow of a naval hero, who will soon have ft destroyer named In his honor. The Home Owners Loan corpora tion had planned an auction sale be cause Mrs. Monseen, who receives a $30-a-month federal pension, had not met a $7,000 mortgage.

PENNEY COMPANY, Incorpotattd m 0 FUTURE ACCLAIM (Continued rrom Page one.) subsidize education any more than Is absolutely necessary." "But, he added, "we know that In many places local government unfortuately cannot adequately fin ance either the freedom or the fa cilities to learn. And there the fed eral government can properly sup plement local resources." The president said there probably was a greater divergence today in the standard of education between the richest communities and the poorest communities than a hundred years ago. "It Is, therefore." he asserted, "our immediate problem to close that gap not In any way by decreasing the facilities of the richer communities but by extending aid to those less fortunate." He predicted that unless the gap were narrowed It would widen, and said federal aid must be confined to lifting the level at the bottom rather than giving assistance at the top." Federal programs of the last five years, he said, had been In line with that policy of conserving at needed spots "the twin Interlocking assets of national and human resources." Must Be Free to Learn "But," he added, "with this goes the equally important and equally difficult problem of keeping educa tion Intellectually free. For freedom to learn Is the first necessity of guaranteeing that man himself shall be self-reliant enough to be free. "If the fires of freedom and civil liberties burn low In other lands, they must be made brighter In our own. j "If In other lands the press is cen- i sored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep It free. "If In other lands the eternal truths of the po&t are threatened by Intolerance, we must promise a safe place here for their perpetuation." OE IS ANSWERED BY (Continued rrom ruge One.) February. 1935," Doherty continued, "advertising the Moscow summer school In which Profewor Counts is named as one of the American fid visers. "He Is also connected with other groups communist In concept and origin and directly affiliated with Moscow." Doherty said Qellermann had re newed his membership in the Legion lost January 26. 'Hts post has already asked htm to affirm or deny the statements! attributed to him . . . the membr-1 ship of the American Legion is not enhanced by having his membership. , but In Una with our democratic or ganltatlon, every peat is ft Judge ot its own members." In reply to the criticism that the Legion was not representative of the ex-service men of the country. Do herty said "Our membership as of June 25. the latest figure available, waa 935,828, the highest all-time record Attempt To Weaken To the assertion that the Legion leadership was representative of en trenched interests, Doherty replied: "I am Just a humble legionnaire, In It from the beginning, and I still believe It Is a great leavening and stabilizing force, and I know that I have no connection with any en trenched Interests, financial, businea, or military. "This attack la nothing more than an attempt to weaken this Impreg nable barrier against un-Amerlca principles. "There Is complete democracy In the Legion. . . . Delegates arc free to vote as they see fit on Issues and candidates, and there -ts no unit rule. , . . . This Is an abortive attempt to1 destroy the Legion, loosed at the time It was to tie In with the advent ol this convention."
