DRAFT ROOSEVELT WASHINGTON, March 5 tl'.Ri The draft Roosevelt movement is active today in nine of the 15 presidential preference primary states for a stake of 288 delegate votes in the Democratic national convention. That figure takes no account of the third term movement in other states where delegates are chosen by party convention or appointment, but the 288 would be a substantial nucleus and only 263 votes short of the majority necessary to nominate. The first primary takes place March 12 in New Hampshire with the most significant test scheduled so far to come April 9 in Illinois where both President Roosevelt and John N. Garner are entered. Pennsylvania yesterday became the eighth primary state in which movement is Contract Awarded the making headway.

CLYDE Although the deficiency in snow cover at present is considerably less than on February 1 of this year, the absence of snow on the lower elevations due to premature melting will seriously reduce the total runoff. It is still to early to predict the 1940 water supply. Although the water now in snow storage is approximately 16 per cent short, an unusually wet March would overcome this deficiency. er M ANN SHERIDAN j Those Harvard Men Really Are Objects Of Oomph Girl Wrath . r. c DISEASE THREAT FOLLOWS STORM t SAN FRANCISCO, March 6 (U.R After a week of flood, hundreds faced poverty and threats of disease in northern Cstifornia today.

Big Headache The 10 ships carried coal needed for Italian industry and provided perhaps the biggest headache yet suffered by the allied blockade of Germany. They may, before their Journey ends, even provide the basis for a sweeping change in Europes war alignment by altering Italys current status, but only future developments will reveal the seriousness of that conjecture. Fascist Premier Benito Mussolini ordered the 10 ships to sail from Rotterdam with cargoes of German coal in order to test the allied e and its ultimate effects on Italy, which even now is to coal rationing industry. It was announced today in the house of commons that five of the ships had been detained by the British. Recent Derision Italy is seeking to build up her industries and bolster her economy generally by taking advantage of a status while Europe's other big powers are at war. Britain is willing to trade with the Italians, but only on terms that will exchange British resources such as coal for war manufactures needed by the allies. So far, the Italians have failed to agree to an acceptable exchange. The present crisis centering on the Italian coal ships was Drought bout by Britain's dociaion to Force the issue and close another of the japs in the blockade against Germany.
