slider the resolution.
Walsh charged Secretary of the
Navy Wilbur was "here lobbying
for the resolution just before the
committee went into session to con-
slider it.'
Is Congress to abrogate its right
to investigate and check up on the
government departments right
that is given it under the constitu-
tion'' Walsh asked.
Senator King introduced a sub
stitute resolution which would call
for an investigation of the entire

this morning.
The tide Sunday was declared to
have been higher than that which
swept over the city Saturday. The
worst of the Sunday damage was
at Hammersmith where easements
were flooded.
Furniture floated on level with
the windows. Many householders
were forced to top floors of their
! houses. Houses were flooded III
| Kew and the water surrounded the
ministry of pensions.
Thousands gathered in all of thu
affected districts to watch the tur
bulent waters of the great river
SO great was the excitement thai
police patrolled the entire affected
area.
Sand bag embankments, thrown
up hastily after the Saturday flood.

Sunday. The first flood had drain
ed into the Tate art galleries, de-
stroying many valuable paintings
