partment that any attempt by Ameri.
can aviators to make a transatlantic
flight while the fate of Capts. Nun
gesser and Coli still is in doubt might
be misunderstood and misinterpreted."
This was made known by the State
Department in the following state
ment:
The American Ambassador to
France, the Hon. Myron T. Herrick.
has cabled the State Department that
the French people are deeply moved
and anxious over the lack of news of
the missing aViators. Out of regard
for their present state of anxiety, he
feels that the take-off of transatlan-
tic flight from the United States at
this time, when the fate of the French
aviators is still in doubt, might be
misunderstood and misinterpreted."
Notwithstanding Ambassador Her
rick's cabled advice that a flight of
the Bellanca plane from New York to
Paris might be misunderstood and
misinterpreted" In France at this
time, State Department officials said
today there was no way to deny pass
ports to the American aviators if their
applications were in regular order.
Having made public Mr.. Herrick's
suggestion, the Department apparent
ly was taking no further action in the
matter today. Besides the passport
the airmen must have French visas
and these could be obtained from
French consular authorities in New
York.

POPLAR BLUFFS, Mo-, May II
R).-Plans for rebuilding a greater
Poplar Fluff" We're definitely launch
ed today as a result of a meeting of
the city's representative business
men with Mayor John w. Bergman.
The assertion Of Gov. Sam A. Baker,
who hurried to the storm-swept town,
that it would rise greater than be
fore" sounded the keynote of the
general feeling.
The death toll of Mondays tornado
rose to SO early today and Red
Cross figures showed $50 injured, 100
injured seriously. Relief is well or
ganized and the town has been di-
vided into sections to check each
family to determine immediate needs.
Cleaning Up Starts.
Gangs Of men continued busy clean
ing up the debris in the main bust
ness section, which bore the full shock
of the tornado. Other men were dig
ging graves, where the first of the
dead will be buried today. With the
confusion over, stories of heroiSm
and personal courage are heard every
where. The quick wit of Miss Minnie
Smith, principal and teacher in the
East Side School, saved all her flock
from death and all but six from in
jury.
A few minutes before school was
to be dismissed the children thought
the sudden darkness good joke,
Miss Smith said. When the tWister
struck she gathered her students and
told them to crawl beneath their
seats. Several rushed to her and
she pushed them under her desk, as
windows were shattered and crashes
were heard from many directions.
Boy and Girl Hurt.
"a little boy under my desk tug
ged at my skirts to cali attention to
the fact that his. leg was broken" ;"
said Miss Smith, land a little girl
showed me that her arm was broken.
Another teacher, Miss Lulu Stone,
thoughtful enough to remember the
comparative safety of an inside wall.
herded the children against it and
not single one was hurt.
Joe Whitelow, operator for the AS
sociated Press in the Republican
Building, was hurled from his chair
and pressed against the floor by a
large plate glass window blown in by
the tornado. He crawled under his
instrument table, managed to flash
the news to the st. Louis office and
remained with his wire until it went

"As a rule, armen planning a

PRESIDENT RAPED
FOR FLOOD STAND
Senator Reed Insists Special
Session Necessary to Give
Required Relief.
By the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, May Ex-senator
James A. Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
criticized President Coolidge here last
night for his refusal to call a special
session of Congress to provide relief
for Mississippi flood refugees. He
declared IL Senators had approved
his suggestion for the session.
Denying the Presidents contention
that the Government is doing all it
can, Reed pointed to the 100000
given European sufferers a few years
ago by the United States as one rea-
son for quick Government action.
That appropriation was justified"
Senator Reed said, but in view of
our act then, it is hard to understand
why we cannot provide for our own
kith and kin, who are suffering from
a disaster for which they are in no
way responsible.
1.-THE Presidents secretary contends
that nothing is being left undone
that can be DONE He is wrong.
Congress can be assembled and
can be, appropriated so that
the starving, suffering people can be
relieved and epidemics can be pre-
vented or minimiZed. The only i'm
possibility seems to be to move the
President to action.
about all the Government can do
now is to furnish tents and boats
People can't eat tents or boats. 1t is
true, as the secretary says, that the
President has two of his Secretaries
on the ground. But to a hungry or
drowning man the presence of a Sec
retary is but small consolation"
