CONGRESSMEN INDORSE
PLEA OF ROOSEVELT
Washington, Sept. 26.—Congres-
sional leaders gave quick indorsement
today to President Roosevelt’s plea
that Germany and Czechoslovakia
settle their differences peacefully.
Chairman Sheppard, Democrat,
Texas, of the senate military affairs
committee said he was “thoroughly
in sympathy with the preident in the
matter.” ;
Chairman Dies,. Democrat, Texas,
of the house committee investigating
un-American activities remarked that
the president had been “very - care-
ful” to express a feeling of strict
neutrality—an attitude Dies said this
country should assume.
“We must not commit ourselves
either directly or indirectly because
of the feeling of partisanship that
already exists in this country,” Dies
warned.
Senator Miller, Democrat, Arkansas,
said he thought the president had
“rendered a distinct service to hu-,
manity,” by emphasizing the futi-
bility of war.
Other comment:
Representative Johnson, Democrat,
Oklahoma: “I am hopeful . . . but I
don’t have too much confidence; that
Europe will pay muck attention to
it. I’m hoping England and France
will take a firmer stand. I can’t help
believing that Hitler is bluffing.”
Senator McAdoo, Democrat, Cali-
fornia: “It’s an admirable statement
and I hope it may produce the desir-
ed effect.”H. A. Supple of Houston visited
here last week in the home of his
uncle, B. B. Supple, and with other
relatives.TO OUR READERS

Washington, Sept. 28.—Washington
heartily applauded tonight the decis-
ion of Europe’s great nations to try
the conference table again instead of
resorting to the battlefield.
President Roosevelt, author of re-
peated appeals for peace and, too,
for a letter that urged Premier Mus-
solini to take a hand in the situa-
tion, was tremendously pleased.
Whatever the extent to which his
effof-ts influenced the day’s historic
turn of events, the result was ex-
actly what he had urgently request-
ed—that there be no breakdown of
negotiations lest a devastating war
ensue.
Although opinions varied as to the
outcome of tomorrow’s (session, in
Munich, to be attended by Chamber-
lain of England, Deladier of France
and Hitler of Germany, with Mus-
solini as mediator, the view was gen-
eral an immensely heartening breath-
ing spell had been provided.
The capital displayed an intense
interest in Roaevelt’a letter to Mus-
solini, a curiosity made the more in-
tense by the fact that because it
was a “personal” message, the White
House withheld its contents.
From Rome, however, came a sum-
mary which said:
"In this message, the president of
the United States, after having re-
called efforts exerted by him to as-
sure a peaceful solution of the Ger-
man-Czechoslovak conflict and after
having emphasized the tragic conse-
quences that a European war would
have for everyone, asked II Duce to
lend his aid to settle the controver-
sy by negotiation or other peaceful
means and without recourse to force.
“II Duce took note of the message
and asked the Ambassador of the
United States to convey to President
Roosevelt his thanks and apprecia-
tion for the gesture he had made..”
Word of tomorrow’s meeting reach-
ed the city at a time when its hopes
of averting actual warfare had been
virtually abandoned. At the White
House, attaches hailed the news as
“very encouraging.” Stephen T. Ear-
ly, Roosevelt’s secretaryv said he had
no idea whether Hitler called the ses-
sion as the result of Roosevelt’s tele-
gram of last night urging him not
to plunge Europe into war. But at
any rate, he added, the Munich meet-
ing holds “great hope” the problems
of Europe may be peacefully settled.
Roosevelt also directed a plea to
Tokio that the Japanese government
endeavor to persuade Hitler against
war. Secretary Hull, commenting on
that move, said it was part of Ameri-
ca’s policy of promoting the setite-
ment of international disputes by
peaceful means.
Since nations generally expressed
approval of the statement of foreign
policy which he made on July 16,
1937, he added, the United States
had on numerous occasions requested
their co-operation in keeping the pro-
gram alive. This policy would be
continued, he said.
In Tokio, the foreign minister
said to have expressed himself
favor of the sincere desire on
part of the American president” to
prevent war.
During the day, the Navy called
three light cruisers from the Pacific
Coast for assignment to duty in evac-
uating American citizens ■» from Eu-
rope in case the necessity arose. They
were the Concord, the Cincinnati and
the Trenton. The cruiser Savannah
and the destroyers Somer left recent-

County Agent’s Office.REHABILITATION OF STORM
AREA MOVES, RAPIDLY
Boston, Sept. 26.—Rehabilitation of
hurricane and flood scarred New Eng-
land moved forward speedily today
as the death toll mounted to more
than 425 and authorities estimated
damage at nearly $200,000,000..
After a survey of areas which felt
the explosive force of last week’s
storm, Harry L. Hopkins, national
WPA administrator, conferred with
regional assistants and governors of
the sorely stricken states on a re-
construction program.
Upon returning from an airplane
flight over Rhode Island and Con-
necticut and a motor inspection of
towns off Massachusetts’ Buzzards
Bay, Hopkins said: :
“It is not a question of indivdual
requests for government funds. It’s
a question of need and the need is
great. From what I’ve seen, I would
say the situation is very bad.”
The number of deaths increased
slightly over the week end, when
additional bodies were found in the
wreckage or washed up on beaches.
Latest figures set the known deaths
at: Rhode Island, 213; Massachusetts,
128; Connecticut, 68; New Hampshire,
12, and Vermont, 5.
Describing condition in the shat-
tered districts as “as awful as any
I have, ever seen,” James L. Fieser,
vice chairman of the American Red
Cross, said that organization would
assume “entire responsibility” for re-
habilitation of victims, “unable to
provide their own means.”
The danger of typhoid in the flood-
ed areas of restern Massachusetts
and Connecticut appeared to have
been averted by the speedy arrival
of serums.10th. I
