London, November 23 (AP). Floods and severe gales caused serious damage in five European countries over the week-end. Three great rivers, the Scheldt, the Rhine and the Seine, have overflowed their banks owing to recent heavy rains, while destructive gales lashed other parts of Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland and many districts in England. Material damage was heavy and six deaths, five in France and one in Germany, were attributed to the gale. Belgium has been the principal sufferer, with the Scheldt breaking through its dikes at several points and overflowing the countryside.

In the Termonde district thousands of acres have been submerged and troops have been rushed to the affected area to repair the breaches in the dikes. RHINE RESIDENTS FLEE. In Southern Germany, with the Rhine many feet above normal, in habitants in many places along the riverside have evacuated their homes. Three electric power stations near Frankfort-on-the-Main have been put out of commission, while the bursting of a dam has flooded the village of Ludweiler. Two aerial masts at a Munich broadcasting station collapsed from the high wind.

In France the Seine rose rapidly and navigation was interrupted. Grave fears for the immediate future were entertained as the situation steadily was becoming worse. At Le Mans the River Sambre overran its banks, inundating the town, causing residents to abandon their homes. ENGLAND FEELS WINTER. In border districts of Northern England the heaviest fall of snow, sleet and hail so far this year occurred last night, while in Southern England a heavy gale raged throughout the night.

The motor vessel Auriga and three barges were wrecked off the southeast coast and their 15 occupants were rescued only with great difficulty. Exceptionally high tides were reported from British Channel ports as well as from continental seaside towns across the Channel and along the southern part of the North Sea. Interruptions in communications between Berlin, Warsaw Moscow, which occurred intermittently during the last two days and at first ascribed to disorders breaking out in the Russian capital, were now said to be due to blizzards sweeping over the marshes, forests and plains of Western Russia. QUAKE IN SWITZERLAND. A violent storm visited Northern Switzerland last night, unroofing homes in Basle, blowing down chimneys and uprooting trees.

A slight earthquake shock in that. district early today added to the distress of inhabitants. In the Berne district of Switzerland lightning, accompanied by hail, did much damage to forests.

More Funds Sought By Immigration Chief For Deporting Of Aliens Among The Gunmen. Warden Lawes, Of Sing Sing, Says Non-Citizen Convicts Often Jump Federal Bonds. Washington, November 23-(US)Aroused by the steadily mounting millions of dollars exacted by gangsters and racketeers, many of them operating on an interstate basis, powerful forces in Congress have begun preparation of bills to strengthen the arm of the Federal Government in its war on these outlaws, it was learned tonight. President Hoover is expected to make a strong appeal for law enforcement and observance in his annual message to Congress, to be read at the opening session, December 3. In this he is to deal with the racketeering problem.

Additional funds for deportation of alien gunmen and racketeers will be asked of Congress by the Labor Department. Harry E. Hull, Commissioner of Immigration, said more money has been asked of the Budget Bureau and this will be followed in appeals to Congress. DEPORTS 17,00 YEARLY. The Government is deporting about 17,000 aliens each year.

There are many thousand more in this country illegally, but lack of funds has made it impossible to make a thorough house "Undoubtedly Hull there said, are adding: aliens in the gangs of racketeers and leggers. It is also true than many of the reputed gangsters, with foreign names, are American citizens. "We are spending about $1,600,000 a year in deportations and could spend much more if Congress would give it to us." New York, November 23-(US) Stronger Federal laws for deportation of alien criminals was demanded today Warden Lewis E. Lawes, of Sing Sing, as an essential starting point in the Government drive against racketeers. Warden Lawes asserted that as the deportation laws now stand it is no difficult matter for aliens to evade them.

He said that he knew of cases where Federal agents seized alien convicts on their release from prison with intentions of deporting them, only to see these same aliens returned to Sing Sing for new crimes. FEDERAL BONDS "JUMPED." Iv'e heard of other cases of evasion of deportation regulations outside," Lawes said. "For a long time some of the alien criminals were able to get out on bail after being arrested by Federal authorities. "There are propably 10,000 engaged in rackets in New York. There are probably 2,000 men who do nothing else but solicit policies in gambling rackets.

There are others live on activities in the docks, trucking, poultry and meat business. "It is primarily the work of police to break up these rackets. They know who the racketeers are. It ought to found out why they get after them. The racketeers don't all their tribute.

They evidently divide with someone. Federal authorities alone cannot do much. They have been working three or four months in Chicago, and what does it amount to? Breaking up rackets is essentially the work of the police." EUGENE YSAYE ILL. Brussels, November 23-(AP)-Eugene Ysaye, Belgian violinist and former conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, returning to Brussels today after appearing at a concert at Liege, was suddenly stricken ill.

Taft Among Ohioans Listed In Letter Urging Court Entry By America Upon President: New York, November Many of New York's leading international bankers have their names appended to a letter to President Hoover urging prompt adherence to the International Court of the League of Nations. This letter, made public today, by coincidence or otherwise, synchronizes with another letter to the President, requesting him to join another movement to "delegalize" war. Owing to the world economic depression, there has been doubt as to whether the President would submit League Court ratification to the approaching short term of Congress. Therefore it was considered that the two letters emanated from approximately the same sources, since many of the signers are the same.

The first letter asks for outright adhesion to the League Court, and expresses the belief that the "rights and safety" of the United States are protected amply under the various protocols. The second letter, which has as its chief signer Samuel Colcord, official League of Nations propagandist, proposes a "congress of nations" to legislate war out of existence.
