The new purchases, whatever
their size, he added, would be in
addition to existing contracts for
several thousand military aircraft.
In a brief conversatiqn with re-
porters, Purvis indicated he was
not disappointed, since the 3,000-a-
month was proposed originally only
as an objective, and Britain was
glad to get whatever was avail-
able.

thorities began burning thousands of
head of drowned livestock today in
order to prevent pestilence among
the estimated 50,000 victims of Louis-
iana’s worst flood in more than a de-
cade.
Meanwhile, additional thousands of
persons were evacuated from the
flooded flatlands southwest of here
aboard the same barges that were be-
ing used to haul food in for stock
that managed to reach high ground.
The stench of the dead animals
forced the further evacuation of sev-
eral areas, where the waters were
receding, but which authorities be-
lieved would require a week or more
to rehabilitate after the waters fully
subside.
The 1,313 residents of hapless
Gueydan, still completely inundated,
were all taken out today, as were all
the approximately 6,000 homeless in
Crowley, hardest hit of the entire
area.
< State Police Superintendent StcVe
Alford, in charge of evacuation work,
has sent to Baton Rouge for addi-
tional police reinforcements as the
number of refugees increased. Even
police cadets in training were mus-
tered.
Adj.-Gen. Raymond Fleming from
the national guard maneuver area in
the Sabine sector northward advised
Alford he was prepared to send
troops to police the area but Alford
said he believed the situation was in
hand.
Nearly 6,000 refugees hkd been
brought in here tonight, so crowding
all public schools, colleges and other
public buildings that police began
commandeering dance halls and night
clubs for housing. Nearly half - the
homeless came barefoot, their feet
swollen and cracked from wading.
Wholesale innoculations against
typhoid and diptheria were ordered.
The first reported death came today
with finding of a negroe’s body be-
low Crowley. The flood waters rose
so slowly that most people reached •

13. —Arthur
of the Social
Security Board, said Tuesday
there would be “no retreat for social
security as the result of thejdefense
program.”
Instead, he said, there was “like-
lihood of judicious strengthening of
the act as a bulwark for the internal
defense of the American economic
system.”
Altmeyer’s views were set forth
in a statement reviewing five years
of social security. The law became
effective Aug. 14, 1935.
— “The stabilization of family in-
come represented by the social *n"
surance and public assistance pro-
grams has become more important
than it ever was before,” Altmeyer
declared. “. . . No European nation
has found it necessary to curtail its
social insurance program in the face
of actual war.”
Reviewing activities under various
social security programs, he said
the unemployment service placed
more than 3,500,000 persons in jobs

Earlier, Senator Burke, Nebraska,

were too slow to meet the necessi-

“this country does not want to wait

Happy lot if by his action he helped

Burke added.
Meanwhile, I’lig. Gen. William E.
Shedd, the army’s assistant chief
of staff in charge of personnel, told
the House Military Committee that
the time required by Congress to
debate the conscription issue had
forced a postponement of the objec-
tive of 900,060 men under arms until
Jan. 1.
Oiiginally, and presupposing tlie
speedy passage of the necessary leg-
islation, he said, the army schedule
called for the drafting of 400,000
on Oct. 1. Trainees plus
national guardsmen and
army components would
produced the 900,000 figure.
The revised schedule, he said, called
li.r 75,000 trainees on Oct. 15, 50,000
