Clifford Townsend without legislative problems to divert his attention from the flood crisis. Townsend himself will either fly or drive to the stricken region along the Ohio river next week and may deliver a message to the legislature when it reconvenes, summarizing his observations. The address he scheduled for yesterday was called on in the press of other business. Many legislators, heeding Townsendh suggestion in a Democratic caucus which agreed on the reI cess, went to the flood district to I aid in rehabilitation work and ob- , tain first hand information on prob- ■ lems which may come before t*ae assembly such as financing, relief, ! renovation of public buildings and kindred matters. Suggestions have been heard 'that the legislature appropriate up to $5T%0.000 for emergency aid to

the flood areas and possibly levy 1 "nuisance" taxes to raise additional funds which may be needed. The legislators will return facing the admonition of Edward Stein, Bloomfield, speaker of the house, "to bring your working ■ clothes.” Stein told the representatives before adjournment that they were losing five legislative days and that these must be made up by extra work, Including longer hours and faster action on pending business. This assertion followed the I charge from the house floor by minority leader James M. Knapp. Hagerstown, that the administratio nhad no "well-defined program" for the legislature and that virtui ally nothing had been accomplished since the session started Jan. 7. Consequently administration bills are expected to be crushed through to passage by the swamping Democratic majority.
