NEW YORK, Oct. M. Baruch lays direct blame for the "economic disasters that still afflict the world" on the lowering of the rediscount rate in 1927.

Hagerty started running away from the tornado, and Drake ran off right into it, heading to the northeast.

That's the last I ever saw of him." Drake's body was picked up by the twister and carried where the No. 1 and No. 3 buildings collided, the latter piling up on the newly erected flagpole that stopped the flying structure a few feet short of crushing the headquarters where officers had taken refuge. Quickly organized relief workers and the able bodied CCC men cleared debris from the city and camp, and launched rebuilding plans as army officers went about the perfunctory investigations following in the wake of the storm. Capt.

J. C. Gates of Port Leavenworth, in charge of CCC construction, definitely placed the damage to the camp at $7,500, half of it's original cost. Place Loss at Million City officials, the scrambled houses, telephone poles, cars, garages and household furnishings, made a revision upward in estimates of damage. Fire Chief Geist said it would run to possibly $1,000,000.

The greatest damage to one building was wrought on the high school, and there were no classes today. City officials said the building had cost around $200,000, with a recent remodeling included, and that it probably would have to be entirely replaced. A nearby church and even the town swimming pool, were wrecked. Houses rested askew on their foundations or were roofless. A garage, car inside, was overturned.

They agreed that it should be reduced. It was reduced, to 3.5 for rediscounts, and with that action began the economic disasters that still afflict the world.

Eliot, 2nd, executive I officer of the national resources board, in an address before the con- ference on city, state and national planning here, summarized the work that has been done. Since Dec. 1, 1933, he said, more than 40 state planning boards and two inter-state or regional planning i boards have been set up. A check-1 up has shown that there are now 769 city planning and zoning agencies lived, then, in a dream of and more than 100 county planning boundless wealth. We believed that production never could catch up with demand.

In every possible way, we increased our capacity to produce. "Our mistake was not in overpro- groups.

The inquiry board will bs So engrossed had we become that we neglected altogether the proS- lems of distribution, especially the maintenance of buying power throughout our own population.

"What we were striving for was the expansion of our world trade. To hold our trade and to further increase it, we loaned the money with which our goods might be bought; no nation was too crippled, to incapable of incurring such debt, for us to urge our loans upon it. Eyes That Would Not See "We shut our eyes and kept them shut to the fact that during the war, with its dislocation of manufacture and commerce, the whole world had put itself into a position where it could, and did, make for tself most of the things it needed, Above all, we shut our eyes to increasing unemployment and declining agricultural prices." The whole world, Baruch writes, shared in this delusion. 'Now," he adds, "we are liquida- our follies. "The monuments to these follies, and our blindness to them, are all about us.

From every window, in every great may look upon rising against the that house only idle machin- jry, half-vacant skyscrapers flaunting the names of spendthrift men and corporations. Unlike the Pyramids of Egypt they are not tombs for kings, but tombs for reputations and for much of our wealth; like the Pyramids of Egypt, they symbolize the vain desires of men to leave a record of greatness." For five years, Baruch continues, "we have been asking ourselves how and why all this has come about, but even in the depths of our de- national plan, but said that "we are building the framework of a physical plan for the nation."
