ANOTHER STORM
 BREWS IN EUROPE
LoVllnds Of Prlncs ind Belgium
 Suffer From Flood

Paris. Nov. 2s NeWith the low lands of Belgium and Holland food ed. another storm appeared to be brewing over western Europe today.
 Mountainous seas were running and prevented pilots from reaching ships oil the French coast with the result that many vessels were forced to remain tossing in the heavy seas outside of Havre. Bordeaux and other ports.
 Dec ,ived by temporary Hull in the storm. ten fishing boats put out to sea from Grauduroi, a little Med- iterranean port. They were caught in squall. Eight managed to get back to port, but two sank and three men were drowned.
 Dykes Go Down
 In the low countries of Belgium and Holland. where dykes were down the waters of the sea swept over wide stretches, demolishing houses. flooding fields and drowning live- stock.
 The death toll in Holland alone was estimated at 68, including 27 members of the crew of the Italian steamer Salento which went to pieces of Zaandvoort almost in sight of would-be rescuerA
 There were six feet of sea water in many places in Belgium and sev- eral weeks will be needed to drain off the flood. Small gaps in the dykes were being repaired and sandbags were ready to stem any new inland rush of the sea.
 The Belgian towns of Termonde, Gremberger and Moerseke were al- most completely under water and provisions were becoming scarce for their beleaguered inha bitants. In Antwerp restaurants and hotels were running low on food supplies. There was a famine of drinking water. due to the breaking of pipes undermined by the flood. and por- table water sold for four cents . quart while an exhorbitant price was charged for mineral waters.
 Along the banks of the Scheldt from Antwerp to Vlissingen the countrywide was under from four to six feet of water. Six drownings were reported. Food was carried to those marooned.
 Heavy Damage
 High seas have wrought thou sands of dollars of damage to the Normundy coast resorts of Etretat.

observance of Thanksgiving Day are the order of the day, and most of the programs featured today and tomorrow will bear a message of thanks.
 First on the list of tonight's pro- grams is one of unusual interest made up exclusively from the works of Richard Wagner. which will be offered during a musical tableau at 7:30 over WEAF and WTIC. The program which will be rendered by a concert orchestra, a vocal soloisl and a cello soloist includes Forest 1dyll selection from Tristan and Isolde" the Ride of the Valkyries.' .'' the Evening Star" from Tannhaus, CT. the Swan Song from "Lohen- grin" the overture from Flying Dutchman" and the Prize Song from Die Meistersinger.' The American public, with the enlighten- ment of the average history course. accepts the Thanksgiving holiday as a tradition passed down from Colo nial days. but they overlook many interesting details surrounding the origin of the tradition. Among these are-how turkey became to be the favorite bird of Thanksgiving why the president issues a procla- nation, and many other interesting anecdotes which are not generally known. These and many other items will be explained as the announcN' reveals the word picture of the first Thanksgiving holiday celebrated by the Pilgrim fathers.
 The Columbia cycle of features of- fers through WOR and WEAF the services of 'Gentleman Jim" Cor hett, who since meeting with James J. Jeffries has assiduously avoided the prize ring devoting himself to the less strenuous pursuit of the atrical appearances, as master of ceremonies during the La Palma Smoker at S:30. Jim will will be called upon to tell few hum orous stories and reminisce somewhat on his days as a prize-fighter.
 The festivities on the eve of the Pennsylvania Cornell football game will be broadcast through the same stations at 10 o'clock, with the ma- ior portions of the program conf s3 from Irvine Hall on the University of Pennsylvania campus in Phila- delphia. where will be assembled the University Glee Club, consisting of 16O voices. and many of the stu dents for their pre-game pep" rally. Lou Young. coach, will be called upon to give his opinion of the result of the game on the fol- lowing day. This is the first time that the radio audience will be per- mitted to listen in on the festivities preceding a big football game. ana should prove interesting material.

The title role will be sung by Richard Bonelli, who will be supported by Alice Mock and Charles Hackett. Rigoletto has always been Verdi's most popular opera and it's broadcast tonight should interest many lovers of oper- atic classics.
