In the letter Mir Crabtree pointed out that in eight Missouri counties alone in the flood stricken area damage to school buildings totaled more than $166,500 and 24 school houses had been to- tally demlioshed.
 He said the reconstruction of the schools was important so that the children in the devastated areas may return to their studies as soon as possible.
 Ut is necessary that support be provided from other than local and state sources" declared the associ- ation, "in order that even a mini mum program of education may be provided for the children of the flood areas" The appeal termed the situation Ian educational emerg- ency."
 Unless public sentiment Is arous- ed, said the statement, the members of congress are likely to forget this phase of flood rehabilitation and it was necessary to form opinion for this work through effective team work" by the state educational as sociations.
 He requested the state secretaries in the flood region to compile simi- lar data for every inundated county of the various Mississippi valley states. This was essential, he added, so the damage toll can be presented in complete form to the next session of congress.

Washington. July 2s P>-In "cleaning out" enforcement agents unfitted for their duties, the prohi- hition bureau will be partially re- organized through a reduction in the number of agents, Commissioner Doran announced today, and the probable granting of increased com pensation to the men selected to be retained.

 The general scheme is to clean out the unfair agents and build a strong efficient organization from the bottom up,' according to the bureaus officials in charge of the re organization. Insofar as is pos sible under the civil service require ments the bureau plans to leave the | selection of agents in the hands of | the administrators while the organ ization of the enforcement machine on civil basis is not expected to be completed by October 1, as stipu- 1 lated by the last congress, CommiS- sioner Doran expects that by that | time all undesirable agants will be weeded out.
