President Orders
u. S. Agencies to
Aid Storm Areas

President Roosevelt today gave
blanket orders for fullest cooperation
by Government agencies in ameliora-
ton of distress in the storm-swept
areas of the Northeastern coast Of the
United States.
Greatly distressed by reports Of the
mounting toll Of the tropical hur-
ricane, the President saw to it that
the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Civilian
Conservation Corps and other agencies
were placed at the disposal of au-
thorities directing rescue and recon-
struction work.
He learned with satisfaction that
most of these services already were
aiding State and local officials in New
York and New England: The President
conversed with Red Cross officials re-
garding their relief work.
Although confined for the third day
to his living quarters In the White
House because of cold in the head,
Mr.. Roosevelt directed associates to
keep him advised Of conditions in the
storm section and of activities by
Federal organizations.
An army OF $500 Coast Guardsmen
and scores of Red Cross workers, mo-
bilized virtually overnight, led the res
cue and relief operations.
Nearly one-quarter of the Coast
Guards personnel and equipment was
called into land and sea service, from
Long Island to Maine, by Rear Ad-
r,i~ol D p Uyaoccbe
All the Coast Guard patrol planes
in the East were ordered to take of
at daybreak to survey the damage and
ascertain where help was needed most.
Red Cross headquarters, placed on
an emergency 24-hour basis, hastily
sent a corps of disaster-relief experts
to the stricken regions to direct, the
work Of local volunteers.
For the Long Island area, headquar-
ters were opened at the office Of the
Brooklyn Red Cross under Walter
Davidson, assistant regional manager
in the East.
Four Red Cross workers flew to New

to cope with the ex0ted temper Of
the nation.
Gn Paris, Havas, the French
news agency, reported in a dis
patch from Prague that "the
President of the republic has ac-
cepted the governments resigna-
ton and new cabinet will be
formed this afternoon"
CIT will include experts who are
not political personalities, the dis
patch said. One or two generals
will be included. particularly Gen.
Jan Syrovy, inspector general Of
the army.")
Friend Of Russia.
Gen. Syrovy is regarded as a friend
Of Russia He lost an eye while
fighting in the famous Czech Legion
with the Russian armies during the
World War;
There was speculation whether q
new government would approve of the
scapitulation" to Germany. The
Czechoslovak people have raised de-
mands for much greater firmness in
the republics foreign policy.
While Gen. Syrovy was arising as q
new leader, there appeared to be no

Reconstruction Necessary.
The disaster, which struck an area
that in general is the most heavily
populated in the United States, called
for vast and immediate reconstruction.
To expedite traffic, the Interstate
Commerce Commission in Washington
suspended its regulations governing
the movement of railrad traffic in New
England.
President Roosevelt ordered the
agencies of government to render all
possible assistance; he conferred, also
with Red Cross officials about rescue
work in the flood areas.
One quick governmental step was to
direct Federal food and drug inspec-
tors to make systematic checks on food
and other supplies in the disaster area
First ofiicial reports indicated no wide
spread contamination. but in some
isolated communities there were food
shortages.
Not only was great material damage
done; in the historic old towns along
the New England Coast many old
Colonial landmarks suffered.

SOCIAL WORKER AND
WHITE BRIDE ON
HONEYMOON

BOSTON, May-(CNA)-Love con-
quered all OPPOSITION here this week as
Julian Steele, former head of Robert
Gould Shaw Settlement House and
Mary B. Davis daughter of socially
prominent Boston family, slipped away
on honeymoon following their mar
riage in New York last week.
The marriage of the u year old
socialite and the 81 year old Harvard
graduate braved a Juror which cut
the young woman off from her parents
and forced Steele to give up his post
at the Boston Settlement House.
Announcement of the marriage was
made by SteePs attorney Robert S.
Colt. The marriage took place in a
small church in New York shortly af-
ter a license was issued at the Munich
pal building, and was witnessed by
"small group of intimate friends,
the attorney said. Colt added that the
couple will spend the summer travel
ing in Europe. Beyond this he said
he knew nothing of their future plans.
Steel was forced to resign his post
last March when he was given the
ultimatum of either giving up his ro-
nance or quitting his position. 1t was
learned that a colored member of the
settlement houses trustee board voted
against Steel, but that several white
members on the board voted for him.

WALTER WHITE SPEAKS
AT DILLARD

New Orleans, La.-Coming into the
very home state of one of the bitterest
foes of the anti-lynch bill, Walter
White, executive secretary of the N.
A. A. c. P, denounced Senator Allen
]. Ellender from the platform of Dill
lard University. Mr.. White, presented
by Professor L. D. Reddick as the
chief organizer and the generalissimo
of the forces fighting for a federal
anti-lynch law, went on to say that
the Senate filibusterer, Ellender, kept
repeating the fallacious argument that
an anti-lynch law would lead to politi-
cal equality; political equality would
lead to social equality; social equality
would lead to intermarriage and mis-
cegenation. Half-humorously the
speaker observed that since the Sena-
tor was three shades darker that the
N. A. A. c. P. secretary himself, that
he had perhaps, started too late to
prevent the mingling of the races
which Senator Ellender talked so much
about in opposing the Wagner-Van
Nuys Bill.
Mr.. White pointed out how race
prejudice was warping the minds Of
the American people. He came out
for the united front of the Negro with
labor and other exploited groups. He
challenged the billiard students and
the Negro people to join in the move
ment to place the Negro in the main
stream of American Life. He encour-
