Sept. 22— QJ.P) — President Roosevelt today personally issued orders to nil federal agencies to give every possible assistance to flood and hurricane stricken areas in New York and New England. The chief executive called upon the army, navy coast guard and the civilian conservation corps, WPA and Red Cross to furnish their full facilities to aid in relieving distress in stricken areas His orders were issued by telehpone from the second floor study of the White House where he had received reports of the disaster. Even before his orders were Issued, the coast guard had 2,500 of its 9,000 man in the stricken area and the Red Cross was mobi--1 Hzing its disaster relief forces. I The works progress administra--1 'ion was in action and had proml ised additional aid. Acting to expedite movement of ' supplies into stricken areas, the interstate commerce commission suspended all rules and regulations for railroad car and freight service in New England. The suspension was ordered when the ICC termed the situation “an emergency which required immediate action." HURRICANE TAKES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) out towns in darkness.

The Mystery of Sunshine Would there be sunshine if there were nothing for the sun to shine on? Is there sunshine in perfectly empty space? Where does the sunshine go? Astronomers think the sun pours out > energy in every direction and, so far as is known, only about one part in 230 million is intercepted by the planets. The rest flies on. Every so often a comet comes near the sun, and light from the sun forces gases out of the comet. the gases making a long streaming vapor tail. Any comet’s tail always points away from the sun, no matter from what direction the comet may approach it, showing that there is always light streaming out from the sun in every direction. Sunlight has much to do with weather. Weather would exist on earth whether the sun shone or not. because these weather waves are generated by the moons pull on the earth's air envelopes, but the pleasantness of this globe as a place for human beings to live depends on the sun. We could not live here if the *un were to make it so hot the oceans would boil, or should let it freeze until all our water turned to ice. In the four billion years of the earth's history there has never been a time when the oceans were boiling hot or were all frozen solid. The sun pouring out radiance in all directions has been remarkably constant, like a great furnace with a thermostat to control its heat. And folks, this raises a question that nobody has been able to answer. Where does the energy of the sun go after it leaves the sun? So far as we know it goes on in space forever. But this can hardly be the full answer, because Einstein shows that space is curved and if light were to go far enough it would come back, and we don’t see this either out in space sunlight must turn into something else. Some astronomers think that a part of the sunlight comes back to us as cosmic rays. It is a great mystery, however you look at it.

Throughout the night, searchers sloshed through the debris hunting bodies, with lanterns and candles providing their only light. New York City's 7,(<00,000 inhabitants, who barely escaped the worst of the storm, were drenched with a 4Mi inch rain. The wind blew 75 miles an hour . bights failed for two hours last night in two sections of the city. Subway service was halted for a time and thousands were stranded. Two of the four Manhattan-Hudson tubes ( were closed by water. Commuters were unable to reach Long Island. o CHAMBERLAIN AND (CONTINUED FROM FACT?

town of Teschen had occupied: the police stations at noon. (The Czech-Polish frontier runs; through Teschen, in Silesia.) Militant demonstrations recently had been held in the Teschen j area as Poland demanded return of her minority in Czechoslovakia. The Polish government, with a minority of from 80.000 to 100,0001 in Czechoslovakia, has formally demanded dismemberment of that 1 republic as has Hungary, with ‘ 700.000 inside the Czech borders I The official report said that the , gendarmes at Teschen surrender-; i ed their arms without resistance, i Similar reports were received; from a number of smaller towns ■ in Teschen province. Although Polish troops recently have been massed along the border, there' i was no information in regard to) ; the possibility that they or that . ; Polish police would move into ( ! Czechoslovakia. 0 SOME FAMILIES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE’ ONE) j bottomlands were forced to flee with hundreds of head of cattle, I livestock to higher ground. Collapse of nearly 600 feet of the ! cofferdam at Le Claire, eight miles northeast of Davenport, alleviated i flood conditions in that area. Fifteen families near the dam were forced to abandon their homes temporarily. Residents of islands in the tri-> I city area were warned to leave | their homes by army engineers 1 who yesterday used launches to rescue six families from the al- ■ ; most submerged islands. The engineers, on 24-hour duty until the flood threat is over, re-1 ported the situation generally well i j to hand. >
