Boston, Sept. 26.-(uP).-WPA
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins,
awed by the fearful havoc wrought
by hurricane, tidal waves and
floods, confers today with New Eng
land governors on the herculean
task OF rehabilitating l00,No0 home
less and repairing nearly O half-bil-
lion dollars In property damage.
The death toll Of the northeast's
worst disaster neared $50 as Hopkins
arrived last night after an airplane
and automobile survey OF the
devastated area.
'It Is incredible" he said. what
I have seen today convinces me that
the heartbreaking stories OF death
and destruction that brought me
hurrying from the coast, told but 0
fraction OF the truth.
Major Emergency
Here Is an emergency OF major
importance, one that calls for the
united efforts OF local. state and ma
tional governments. These roads and
towns must be cleared, repaired, liv-
Ing conditions again brought back
to normal" =.
Authorized by President Roosevelt
TO pledge the federal governments
full cooperation, Hopkins meets this
morning with Governor Charles r.
Hurley Of Massachusetts,, Governor
Robert z. Quinn OF Rhode Island,
Governor wilbur l.. Cross OF Con-
necticut and Governor Francis p.
Murphy OF New Hampshire.
From the chief executive, Hop.
kins will receive detailed reports OF
the condition In the four hardest.
hit states and hear estimates Of
funds needed TO restore normally.
Rhode Island Is expected to ask
S26 ,0O0,0 900 and Massachusetts, sib,-
100000.
Coordinate Relief Work
Then he will attempt TO coordin-
ate federal, state and municipal re-
lief work for maximum efficiency.

New England Rehabilitation
Program Given Consideration

Already over 200, 900 WPA workers,
state troopers, national guardsmen,
police, flremen and volunteers are
attempting TO clear the twisted
wreckage left by wind and water.
And as the broken wood and steel
Is slowly trucked away, new bodies
are uncovered. Crippled communica-
ton lines delay reports TO the OUT
side world, but the latest compila-
ton by United Press showed the
following deaths by states:
Rhode rsland-2e6.
Massachusetts-iSi.
Connecticut--72.
New York--03.
New Hampshire-i4.
Vermont-6.
New Jerseys.
Quebec-2.
Acute In II. 1.
The situation was particularly
acute In Portsmouth and Westerly,
n. l., where whole villages were
wiped of the map. Nearly q score
Of bodies were taken 10 @ temporary
rnorgue In the town hall at Ports
mouth. Fifteen undertakers were
sent from Providence TO westerly TO
handle the bodies found there.
The spectre Of famine was dis
solved as truckloads OF food reached
communities reporting shortages. In
at least one town--Baltic, Conn.,
II was necessary TO shoot food across
O river In breeches buoy.
The threat OF disease still was po-
tent, however, and anti-typhoid
serum was sped by plane and car
TO the stricken areas. In Rhode
Island, every resident Of Warren,
Bristol and Darlington was being
innoculated against typhoid. Drink.
Ing water has been ordered boiled
IN every community In the path OF
the hurricane and floods.
LOoting, Proflteering
Looting and profiteering con-
tributed an added menace. Seven
hundred national suardsmen were
patroling the Cape Code area, where
the storm barred valuable furnish
ings Of wrecked mansions, with Or
ders TO shoot TO kilp all hooters
Thirty-three looters have been ar
rested In Providence, r. I. Coast
guards patroled the coastline TO pre-
vent hooters from landing In boats.
Profiteering was reported through
out the devastated area. Some deal
ers were reported charging as much
as u O gallon for gasoline. Food
prices also slsyrocketed. Authorities
warned that merchants caught
proflteering' win be prosecuted.
Still another threat to the dis
aster-ridden territory appeared with
the announcement that felled for
ests constituted O serious IRE has-
ard. Even o spark might set OF
the broken trees and develop into
a confagration that. with water gys,.
TENS crippled. would sweep whole
communities.

Resolution
The Connecticut League OF Ma.
tons association deplores the use
OF forces as an instrument OF ma
tional policy In the Czechosloyak
incident and the violation OF in
ternationai obligations under the
pact OF Paris, and other instru-
ments. by the various powers con-
cerned.
We recognize that changes In
the treaties anding the World war
are necessary and we believe In.
ternationai procedure can be de-
veloped for affecting such changes
without bloodshed Of threats Of
violence.
We believe that the principles
Of international policy set forth
by Secretary Hull on August 10,
1888, must be observed In the set
tlement Of controversies Of this
type.
We consequently suggest that
our traditional policy OF nom
recognition be applied II events
show that O transfer Of territory
has taken place contrary TO these
obligations.

dent, for the executive committee
