(Copyrisht. 1885. by the Associated PreSso
AS slowly ebbing river waters re-
vealed scenes Of desolation. legislators
from II stricken States gathered to-
day In conference extraordinary to
discuss a mammoth plan Of relief and
food control.
President Roosevelt already had set
aside $43 200, 900 Of w. p. A. money
for the task and the Red Cross pushed
its Nation wide drive to raise S3,000..
900. Latest reports said $804.000 Of
this sum already had been donated
by citizens from Maine to California.
All officials hoped for a period Of
dry weather. Red Cross officials said
that II much more rain should fall
the resulting distress would compel
them to raise the goal of their fund
raising above s3.000,000
However, the Weather Breau, after
studying latest data from the field,
indicated the worst was past" Fore
casts indicated that while there may
be rain in the East in the next two
days. it will be confined to occasional
showers, except perhaps in Ohio,
Kentucky and some other areas, where
the fall may be heavier.
Health Service on Job.
The Public Health Service, with
most of its experts laboring in the
field, was on the alert to combat
disease. officials said that unless ex-
traordinary precautions are taken, a
flood can give tremendous impetus to
such diseases as typhoid, dysentery
and diarrhea.

As week end rains were impeding

among II ,27l families dispossessed by
floods in the East, the threat Of fur

LONDON. March 23.-The Com
mittee of 13" of the League Of Nations
Council ordered a new, direct plea for
peace transmitted to Italy and Ethiopia
today.
The committee, which comprises
every member Of the Council except
Italy. made this effort toward quick
armistice in Africa while it awaited a
reply from Reichsfuehrer Hitler of
Germany to proposals for ending the
crisis precipitated by Germany's re-
militarization of the Rhineland.
Informed sources said the League
expected Hitler 20 accept the pro-
posals-but with strong reservations.
At the same time the Council made
its bid for peace in Africa, it decided
to send to the Italian government a
new Ethiopian protest concerning the
use by Italian forces Of asphyxiating
gas.

BORAH WAlK0UT

Senator's Threat May A.
feet Convention Fate
of KanSan.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,
Stan Correspondent of The Star.

CHICAGO, March 23.-If President
Franklin D. Roosevelt has his Smith,
Gov. ALI M. Landon Of Kansas has
his Borah.
There seems no slightest doubt that
the threat made by Senator William
E. Borah to walk out on the nominee
of the G. o. P. Cleveland convention
if the nomination is dictated by the
big interests" was directed partic-
ularly at the Kansas Governor.
While the Idaho Senator made no
mention of Gov. Landon in his ad-
dress here Saturday night when he
delivered his threat to reserve the
absolute freedom to look over" the
candidate selected by the Republican
convention, the understanding Is that
Borah considers Landon has cast in
his lot with the men who have con-
trolled the Republican party In the
past. Those men. the Senator insists,
have considered the interests" rather
than the party and the principles upon
which it was established. Further
more, it Is the belief Of Senator Borah
that unfolding events will show
clearly that Landon has their
backing.
To Continue Campaign.
Before leaving here yesterday to re-
turn to Washington, Senator Borah
declined to name Landon or any of
the other aspirants for the Republican
nomination as being tarred with big
interests. He made it clear. however,
that he proposes to continue actively
his campaign to prevent the nomina-
tion by the Republican National Con-
vention of any man who may be con-
sidered so tarred.
THE fight" he said, ''has only
begun"
In some quarters it was predicted
today that If Borah persists in his
present course, it will make it ex-
tremely difficult, if not impossible, for
Landon to win the presidential nom
ination.
The effect of Borah's brutally frank
attack against the old leadership of
the Republican party and against
monopolistic interests on his own
candidacy for the presidential noui-
nation is llkelv TO be disastrous. Only
veritanls uprising Of the people Gould
overcome the opposition TO MIN wnicn,

and among the more conservative Re-
publicans. threatens to eng,ilf him. So
far there have been no signs of
such an uprising. 1t IS Borah's pur-
pose to bring about such an uprising.
breaches New G. o. p.
His own personal political fortunes
are not the chief motivating factor
in his campaign against the old guard
and the politically minded interests.
He is seeking a re-birth Of the Repub-
lican party. He Is prepared to throw
his own candidacy into the discard
II necessary. His hope Is that he
will be able to prevent the nomina-
ton of a presidential candidate and
the writing Of a party platform, die
tated by the big interests. He will 60
down fighting. II he goes down. In
this contest he is utterly sincere. The
odds against him at this time are very
great. He is opposed in all the big
populous States Of the East and the
Middle West by the leaders Of the
Republican organizations. He does
not even have the support Of all the
outstanding progressive Republican,
