There were 80 lines represented in
the occupations surveyed, and of these
10 were for no parking, IL for parking,
3 evenly divided and no opinions were
obtained from S. Between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets on the south
side where It Is now recommended that
there be no parking, the vote was ex-
ceptionally close. Six were recorded as
in agreement with the director Of traf-
fic, expressed themselves as preferring
a continuation of the existing arrange

From Tenth to Fourteenth street
there was a general complaint about
the congestion on the street which, 1t
was said, was caused by cruising taxis.
Time and again The Star representative
was taken to the door and forced to see

general complaint that the present park
ing law was not being enforced as 1t
should be.
Numerous merchants insisted that at
the present time there was in effect no
parking for their customers because,
they claimed, the street was occupied
during the business day with cars be-
longing to clerks and proprietors OF
other businesses on = street. 1t was
said that the matter had become q
sort of game in which the cars were
moved only far enough and often
enough to prevent the issuance Of tick

place the greater part Of the day.
There were numerous recommends

.LAUDS MEEK At
MISSION MEET

The meek Of the earth were
lauded today as the backbone OF
the nation by DIR. Ebert Russell,
of Duke University. North Caro-.
lima, In a devotional address before
the Women's Missionary Council
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
Raleigh Hotel.
THE meek are the common peo.
pie who stand between the lawless
on the one hand and the oppres-
sors on the other" he said. They
are the people who by their loyalty.
faithfulness and law-abiding life
preserve the order of society and
perform the necessary work on
which life and civilization depend.
They are the people who, whatever
their personal ambitions and desires
and discontents, nevertheless sub.
ordinate themselves to the necessi-
ties Of orderly living, Of social CO.
operation and duty"
A pilgrimage to the tomb of the
Unknown Soldier in Arlington Ma.
tional Cemetery was made by the
delegates today. with Mrs. F. Steph.
ems, president Of the council, laying
a wreath on the sarcophagus and
making brief memorial address.
Tomorrow's program includes a
meeting in addition to the regular
Sunday services. More than ten
speakers will be heard during the
day. The session is to close Mon.
day with a service consecfating
new missionaries.

CHANGE SEEN IN
D. c. SENATE
GROUP

A new division of party lines
on the Senate District Committee,
which has been tentatively decided
upon, may bring the new Repub-
lican Senator from Maryland. Colds
borough, onto the committee in.
stead OF Senator Tydings.
There are three Democratic va
cancies on the committee at pres
ent as the result Of the defeat of
Senators Bruce. of Maryland; Nc
Nicely, Of West Virginia. and Ed.
wards. of New Jersey.
IL these vacancies are. filled by
Democrats It IL almost certain that
Senator Tydings Of Maryland will be
one OF those chosen as there is no
Maryland Senator now on the com.
naittee.
But It Is proposed to change the
party proportions Of the committee
by composing It Of eight Republi-
cans and five Democrats instead Of
seven and six as at present.
This will mean the appointment OF
two Democratic and one Republican
Senators. Under that arrangement
Senator Goldsborough Is more likely
to be chosen from Maryland.
One Of the Democratic seats prob
ably will be filled by Senator Con-
naIly, OK Texas, because he Is the
only new Senator on that side. The
assignments to the District Com
mittee are usually given to new
Senator'S.

ATLANTA, March 16 u.N.S.).-@
From the AtlaGltic Seaboard west
ward to the swollen Father of
waters, the Southeast today pre-.
sented an appalling cyclorama OF
death and destruction.
TWenty-six persons dead IN the
Southeastern sector, millions or dol
lars damage to property, something
like $4,000 homeless and suffering
from exposure and hunger. and
probably many hundreds drowned
whose bodies will not be discovered
until the flood waters recede.
That was the Southeast's enOr.
NOUS toll exacted by spring floods.
as compiled in the international
News Service bureau here. There
are thousands Of lives still in peril.
and further developments for I'M
.avoidable hardness in rescue may
increase the death list considerably.
Unconfirmed reports would pile
up the DEATH toll far beyond that,
but so far as 1t was known this
morning, only five deaths have oc-
CURED in the Elba section. Wild
reports placed the death list beyond
the 100 mark, but neither the base
at Montgomery, nor the National
Guard stations on the edge of Elba
could confirm these.
Overflow from streams approached
q cataclysm at a half dozen Ala
hama points. Meanwhile parts of
Mississippi, Tennessee. Georgia,
northeastern Florida and Arkansas
were under water, and in the Caro-
1inas the swollen streams were
threatening to leave their banks
nomentarily.
The disastrous aspect OF the
Alabama situation was increased
today when Army observation
planes scouting over Geneva, Ala,
near the stricken town of Elba,
reported 5000 persons marooned on
their housetops while gurgIing tor.
