SCORES REPUBLICAN WORK

Washington, Nov. 25.-F-Desire
to avoid an extra session OF congress
was voiced today by Senator Robin
son, Arkansas, the Democratic lead
er. upon his return to the capital.
Reiterating his stand for national
prohibition, the Democratic leader
predicted the Democrats would not
declare themselves for repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment In the 1882
platform. He expressed the opinion
also the prohibition amendment
would not be repealed in the early fu-
ture.
Senator Robinson issued a state
ment which he said was In substance
that which he wrote to President
Hoover recently regarding an extra
session Of the new congress.
The statement follows In part:

Scores Summer Work
"The congress was in extra -ordin-
airy session throughout the spring and
summer Of 1929. We dealt principal
ly with the agricultural problem and
with the tariff in its relation to farm
relief.
"The Hawley- smoot act gave I'M

more harm than good

growing worse until In many parts Of
the country economic and business
distress is appalling.
I'm my Judgment 1t Is imperative
that measures of an emergency char
acter be acted upon as speedily as
possible.
while no doubt other important
subjects will also require attention by
the congress, I regard it as i~ndispens-
able to the drought stricken areas.
THE unemployment situation is
acute and demands consideration.
1T Is quite doubtful whether the
intense agitation Of partisan differ
ences, which cannot be reconciled,
will be helpful while both houses Of
the congress are evenly divided and
the executive is In control of the Re-
pubncanS.
OF one thing I am certain. It is no
part OF my duty to filibuster against
appropriation bills, and I have no in
tention Of doing so.
Readiness to cooperate In the pass

measures In no sense implies support
on my part Of the policies of the Re-

record.

was believed today to hold the secret
Of the fate Of Captain e. ]. A. Burke.
Canadian flier. and two companions
who were lost in that area Oct. II.
Weeks Of search by airplane were
climaxed yesterday when PHO E. L.

reported sighting the wreckage. A
shortage Of gasoline compelled him
to return without landing. He ar
ranged today to fly to q landing
point IS miles from the scene of the
wreck and "mush" to the headwaters
with Joe Walsh, q woodsman.
WATSON said the terrain at the head
waters Of the Lard river was too

lieved q visit to the wreckage would
reveal q message or other clues to
the fate Of Burke and his companions,
Emil Kading and Robert Marten,

YESTERDAY STORM
Between 40 and so Killed Dur

on Continent

London, Nov. 25.-R-F1ood waters
washed over farms and through pop.
ulous cities and towns today in Eng
land, Ireland. Belgium, Holland.
France and Germany, spreading dam
age and destruction.
The gales which dashed western
Europe and Great Britain over the
weekend died down during the night,
leaving murky skies and lowered
barometers which threatened another
blow. Estimates on the number Of
deaths charged to the storm ranged
between 40 and SO.
In Paris q further rise of 20 inches
in the level of the Seine was FORE
cast but municipal authorities did
not believe the city could be flooded
with less than a 40-inch rise. The
river already is over piers and so high
navigation is impossible. Several
suburbs are under water and $500
are homeless at Viry- Chatillon alone.
Water receded from the Belgian
lowlands in some localities, but the
area along the Scheldt between Ant
werp and Termonde continued In the
grip Of one Of It's worst floods in
years. The Kiel hospital at Antwerp
had to be evacuated because Of rising
water.
Holland suffered also from the
floods. Several townships including
Zwolle and Browershaven were mum
dated. The Nethe dixie between Lier
and Uffel was preached In 20 points,
and the harbor wall and sea dixie at
Bergenopzoon has broken down. The
Mas and WAL rivers have flooded
large areas. The Rhine and Moselle
in southern Germany still threatened.
Vast areas In western and eastern
counties Of England were under wa

sufficient to interrupt communities

The rivers are greatly swollen and

st. Louis, Nov. 25.-P-A rising

Of railroads to government aid for

Patrick J. Hurley, who criticized the
railroads last night for opposing gov
eminent subsidies to waterways. The
secretary pointed out that the early

tremendously by land grants, sub
sides and aid from federal soldiers
and engineers.
Brookhart In Battle
Taking the same stand, Senator
Smith w. Brookhart Of Iowa assailed
the railroads for their campaign Of

velopment. The raising of the rail-
road issue was unexpected in the con-
vention in the light Of q statement
by former Congressman Cleveland A.
Newton, st. Louis, general counsel for
the association, previous to the con-
vention that hostilities between rail-
roads and river enthusiasts were dy-
ing away.
"There Is plenty Of precedent for
government financing Of inland wa

ley said in an address before the an

night. Tremendous subsidies were
granted to the railroads In their In

funds were given for the extension Of
