 New York, April 23.-(UP)-The Sweet sixteen" string of victories turned in by Carl Hubbell ct the end of the 1036 season may be ex- tended to IT today when the lanky sotlthpaw unleashes his screw-ball against the Boston Bees in the Polo Grounds inaugural.
 If rain which has washed out 12 games in the last two days-doeS not interfere, some 4OO00 fans are expected to be on hand when Mayor LaGuardia losses out the first ball to see the National leagues most valuable player pick up where he left of last year.
 The Giants main hope of retain- ing their National league title rests on the left arm of the 33-year -old Oklahofnan who has won 20 or more games for four consecutive years. He won 26 while losing six with an earned run average of 2.31, the best in the majors, last year. When mighty Carl ran, up his 16 straight wins between July 17 and Septem- Der g, he bettered every modern National league record with the ex- ception of Rube Marquard's IT con- Secutive victories in 1912. He down. ed the St. Louis Cards and Chicago Cubs three times each in that stretch, dropping those two clubs into a second-place tie, five games beneath the Giants in the final standings.
 But the Giants are not the only ones to open play in their own backwards today. The Cards tackle the Cubs at St. Louis; the Pirates entertain the Cincinnati Reds at Pittsburg, and the PhillieS play the Brooklyn Dodgers at Philadelphia. In the American league, New York goes to Boston, Detroit plays in Chi cago, St. Louis journeys to Cleve- land, and the Philadelphia Athletics go back to Washington where the two teams opened the season Mon- day.
 2 Only three games were played yes- terday, the Cards outlasting the Reds in 8 slugging match to win 14- Il, the Pirates stopping the Cubs Az, and the Chicago White Sox de- feating the St. Louis Browns, 6-1.
 The St. Louis and Pittsburg vic- tories sent them to the top of the standings along with the Philadel- phia Phillies with two wins and no losses, while the Browns defeat dropped them from the first place spot they shared with Detroit and Boston.

GAIN
IN INDIA ELECTION
Congress Party Gets Clear
Majority in Five Provin.
CiaI Elections.
By the Associated Press,

BOMBAY, February 2o.-The In
dian Congress party, seeking absolute
independence from Great Britain,
gained clear majorities today in five
provincial elections as India's millions
ended their balloting on a new con-
stitution.
The Extremists gained power IN the
provinces Of Bihar, Assam, Orissa, the
United Provinces and the Central
Provinces.
Victories in the latter provinces were
reported due to a last-minute cam
paign, during which illiterate voters
were told they were voting for M. K.
Gandhi. The famous exponent of
passive resistance, however, was rep
resented in the elections only by local
candidates.
An entire province was swept by the
slogan "Put Vote for Gandhi in the
Box"
The count to date shows the Con-
gress party has won 419 seats from
.SOeeA4 VI 1,OoOs NOIl4JdIGu Will OSU
won by candidates pledged to support
and work for the new India consti-
tuition proffered by Britain.
The 476 seats still unlisted in re-
turns are mainly in Bombay and
Madras, where the extremist organiza-
ton is strong. Bombay has 1881 900
voters, Madras 100000. This was
the final day of voting.
1ndia's constitutional election has
been termed the most amazing election
the world has known. Altogether, 49,.
00u 900 voters, most of them illiterate,
are involved in the ballotting.
Cooperation Of the provincial legis-
latures provided for in the new India
act is necessary if that part of the
constitution calling for federal gov
ernment of all India is to be carried
out. States if the extremists control
the legislatures, they will refuse to CO.
operate.

effort undoubtedly cut down death and
suffering. For all of this, the rail-
roads footed the bill.
In many instances lounge cars
were stripped Of their luxurious fur
nishings and fitted up as hospital cars.
In one case an entire hospital staff,
together with patients, many in critical
condition, were transferred from
hospital in the danger zone to one
removed from the 6ood region.
Water for Victims.
Trains Of tank cars, sterilized and
loaded with drinking water, were sent
into sections where the water supply
had become contaminated, and engine
tenders, sterilized, served as emer-
gency sources of water supply. Lo-
comotives also were used to furnish
heat where regular plants had failed.
With every gateway across the Ohio
below Pittsburgh closed by food, the
railroads handled the regular COM
merce between North and South with
a minimum of interruption by detour-
ing traffic around Memphis, Pitts
burgh, Washington and Hagerstown,

Neither of the rival union generals,

ers, said Lewis would take an active
part in the membership campaign of
his organization.
He said his group, heretofore linz
tied to workers in the production
phases of the industry, was going
after marketing employees such as re-
tail gasoline station employees. He
said the marketing workers were un-
organized except for "a small number
of locals chartered directly by the
American Federation of Labor. The
locals are mostly il the Great Lakes
region, he added.
Green and other federation officials
declined to discuss report from
Houston, Tex, that the federation
would send 81 organizers into the
field in competition with Fremming's
union.

AGENTS MAY USE
SEIZED MOTORS
Treasury Men Are Given Au-
thority in Revenue
Law,

The heyday Of free transportation
in conflscated automobiles ended for
the Justice Department with the doom
OF prohibition, but Treasury agents
still have the right to seize and use
cars of revenue law violators.
There was time when prohibition
agents and their superiors rode the
streets and highways in fine limou-
sines which had been owned by boot
leggers, but now Justice Department
agents and o@icials must buy their
cars in the usual way.
A provision Of the international rev.
enue act gives authority to Treasury
investigators to take possession and
make use of vehicles transporting
goods in violation of the revenue laws
In comparison with the old days of
national prohibition, seizures are few
and the cars confiscated usually of
cheap type.
Expensive Cars Used.
Beer barons and alcohol runners
Of pre-repeal times, on the other
hand, bought the most expensive
makes of cars for their business
and quite often the now defunct Pro-
hibition Bureau profited thereby.

though no automobiles have been con-
flScated under this law to date, officials
said yesterday. The firearms act
places a nominal tax on sales of
sawed-off shotguns, machine guns and
other transporting guns. Consequent
ly, use of an automobile in transporting
unregistered firearms would subject
the car as well as contents to possible
seizure.
Arm0red Limousine Seized.
One of the last important car
seizures prior to death of the prohibi-
ton law was that Of a heavily -armored
limousine found in garage in Boston.
This car, of an expensive standard
make. had been rebuilt privately so
that its steel body and windows were
bullet-proof. In addition. there was a
built-in concealed opening through
which occupants could direct fire at a
pursuing car.
This car was left on the hands of
the Department of Justice with the
demise of the Prohibition Bureau, but
was found impracticable for depart
mental use. 1t is in storage, it is

Characterized as "the greatest mo-

and relief work ever known" the part
that the railroads played-and are
playing-in the Ohio and Mississip-
pi Valley flood area was described
yesterday by John J. Pelley, presi-
dent of the Association of American
Railroads.
On the basis of reports now coming
in from the carriers, Pelley estimated
that 100000 refugees-the exact num-
Der never will be known-were car
ried to places of safety on rescue
trains. Hundreds of special trains
were rushed into the stricken area
with relief workers and supplies of all
kinds, and thousands of freight and
passenger cars were moved near dan
ger spots to meet anticipated emer-
gencies and to house the homeless and

From practically the entire length
of the Atlantic Coast to well into
