I 1 WC the other two parts of the 30-cent package comprise 12.5 cents for pay envelopes and 6.27 cents for social insurance. Stephens said the gross cost to the six companies of Big Steel if their 170,000 employes participated in the union insurance proposal would be $27,643,700.

He said the approximate gross premiums would amount to $162.61 per employ of 8.13 cents per mn-hour. U. S. Steel's Insurance proposal, providing that one -half the cost be paid by the insured employe and carry a net cost, Stephens said, of one-half by the employer, would 5.32 cents per man-hour, of which the companies' share would be 2.66 per man-hour. If the 170,000 employes of the six companies participate, the net annual cost would be $18,094,800, of which the companies would pay $9,047,000, he said.

The estimated cost to the U. S. Steel companies of administering the insurance program they proposed probably would not exceed $1,000,000 a year, Stephens said. His statements on insurance were in answer to questions previously put to him by the board. Former Secretary of War Robert P.

Patterson was scheduled to sum up today for the small independent companies. Staff Photographer. Here is the Sea Scout Ship Flying Cloud, at anchor, and tied up to a jetty in the Delaware River near Edge Moor appearing calm enough after its buffeting from the storm early thts morning. Five sea scouts and the mate of the boat were taken from the ship by a rope when gales lashed the 22-foot craft. Legion Likes Subway For Firecracker Noise PHILADELPHIA, Aug.

29 P). Some of the delegates to the Ameri can Legion's thirty-first national convention have started an under ground movement but loud. Many of the Legionnaires brought firecrackers to Philadelphia to add to the festive atmosphere. For awhile they appeared content to light the noisemakers in the street Yesterday, the boys discovered a firecracker exploded in the Broad Street Subway makes a lot more noise than one out in the open. Since then things have really been booming.

Dr. Gregg Continued From Para One) opening charges of misadministra-tion against him. Contract To 1953 The brief points out that Dr. Gregg has a valid subsisting contract with Delaware State College, which does not expire until December, 1953. The board of trustees, the brief continues, is a state agency, and the action of the board is state action within the contemplation of of the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.

S. Constitution. Where bias in a state administra tive tribunal sitting in a quasi-judicial capacity is present, Dr. Gregg contends, any attempt by such tribunal to do any act calculated to affect a citizen's property rights, is a threatened denial of due process, and the plaintiff is entitled to relief in a federal court. Inasmuch as his remedy at law is inadequate.

Temporary Order Granted The temporary restraining order granted by the court has prevented the board of trustees as presently constituted from reopening the charges against Dr. Gregg. The brief filed today points out that it is not necessary for the court to discuss or review the nature of the charges or whether they were sustained by the evidence presented, but the court must "scrutinize carefully the manner and effect of the threatened proceedings by the newly constituted board of trustees in order to determine whether the constitutional rights or privileges assured to the plaintiff by the Constitution of the United States are being denied him." Economy (Continued From Fare One) That is well over a majority and just short of the Senate's 96 members. Democratic Leader Lucas of Illinois, who has been fighting it, conceded that the plan would go through on a simple majority vote. "We could beat this under a two-third vote but can't by a simple majority," he told a reporter.

Lucas added that "the whole thing is silly" because, he said, the House will throw it out or President Truman will veto it. McClellan has offered his pro posal as a "rider" to a bill carrying $14,800,000,000 for the armed services. Rules Out Challenge The Senate's rules forbid such "riders" and, ordinarily, they can be put in only by a two-thirds vote suspending the rules. But the parliamentarian's view was that the agreement to vote ruled out a challenge to the rider as contrary to the rules. Lucas has lashed out at the economy rider as "an act of political cowardice" and a "proposal for meat-axe economy that is utterly unconstitutional." He said Congress should vote directly on further reductions instead of passing the buck to the White House.

But McClellan said: "If this is political cowardice, then the Senate already has committed about a half billion dollars worth of that kind of cowardice. I refer to the broad grant of authority to a cabinet member to save money." Squirrel Squats On Pole in City Mid town Visitor Finds i Tree Substitute On r.

5 Daugherty said that companies which want to submit written replies to arguments submitted last ieek by union research director Otis Brubaker should get them in not Jater than midnight Wednesday. J'Big Steel" asked the board today 4c, find that pensions for steel workers are not a bargainable issue at Jthls time, but added that "we would expect to negotiate on pensions" six Jnonths from -now. The statement was made by John Stephens, industrial relations rice president for the United States Steel as representatives of 58 teel companies began two days of frebuttal which will end the board's gearings. Pension Delay Asked ''Six months from now, should the jttnion choose, we must bargain with tt on pensions," Stephens said. "This iact alone should convince this aard that our position on this issue deeply rooted in an important and "fundamental conviction that contracts should be observed." The United Steelworkers of America (CIO) has made the drive for pensions amain point of its 30-cent "fourth-round wage package demand.

It: is asking the companies to set "aside 11.23 cents hourly to. provide 4125-a-month pensions for workers retire voluntarily at 65. The companies have contended Jh'at the supplemental agreement on July 16, 1948, gave the union the Jight to reopen the contract in 1949 ioj bargain and, if necessary, strike ri pay increases and social insurance but not pensions. The union -fays the agreement doesn't mention pensions and that therefore they ire bargainable now. Stephens told the board Philip -Murray, CIO president, agreed to bring up pensions in 1949.

Murray said that was not so. f- The present contract expires April 30; 1950. Stephens said the six basic tel producing companies of U. S. fetcel "would expect to negotiate" ri pensions if the union includes Shem in proposals it submits next larch 1, when consideration of a ieew contract begins.

5 i Appeals to Board "I regard the members of this Aboard as men of integrity," Stephens Jjfald. "They are demonstrating their concern for labor management peaceful relations by their service ir this board. An issue must be Jecided. It is whether pensions are glow bargainable. There is no room jor concession or compromise.

Your conclusions can mean much in con-flections with future good faith collective bargaining." The union has demanded that to be out of service were in New Castle County. The failures were in scattered areas, he added, and all of them are expected to be repaired before late this afternoon. Damage to installations was not extensive. Power Lines Hit The Delaware Power and Light too, reported storm damage to its facilities. An official of the company asserted that the most concentrated trouble was in the Richardson Park, Elmhurst, and Elsmere area, where the high winds tore off tree limbs and hurled them acposs power lines.

"The lines affected were mainly secondary," the oificial said, "and no trouble was found to exist on our major circuits. The peak of storm struck the suburban Wilmington area shortly after 3 o'clock. Most repairs were made by three hours later," In the city, power lines escaped extensive damage, but failures were reported at and Van Buren Streets and in Union Park Gardens. Other areas that went without electric service for varying periods of time following the storm were at Marshallton, near Governor Printz Boulevard and Hillside Road, on Beaver Valley Road, at Hockessin, Granogue, near Cooch's Bridge, at Port Penn, on Owl's Nest Road west of Centerville, and several other scattered rural areas. The Cranston Heights street lighting system was knocked out before dawn today, power company officials said, jls was the electrical system of the Deemer Steel Casting Company at New Castle.

Lower Delaware Hit Downstate areas also received their share of pounding from the storm. The peak of the gale struck Lewes and the Delaware Bay area shortly after midnight. The waters of the bay were whipped into high waves and heavy surf roared over the beaches at nearby resort areas. Ocean-going vessels planning to enter the bay at Lewes stood off at sea during the night, riding out the Legion (Continued From Pace One) ticularly shaping up as "the No. 1 Issue.

What to do about communism and where and when to do it are questions that several Legion committees have been wrestling with in pre-convention sessions mostly behind closed doors. The four-day meeting is one of the biggest in Legion history' The 6,500 delegates and alternates represent more than 3.000,000 Legionnaires in some 17,000 posts. Theyll discuss the pros and cons of some 1,000 resolutions. Floor Fight Looms A hot floor fight looms over U. S.China relations and what the future American policy on that embattled Asiatic country should be.

The Legion's national executive committee adopted a resolution yesterday urging continued aid to anti-Communist forces in China. The resolution said the U. S. should "not abandon the Far East to the Communists." "Full support should be made to any groups or organizations, that can be supported by our government, who will fight the forces Of communism and outside aggressors in order to preserve the basic rights and liberties of a free China," the resolution said. It recommended, too, that the U.

S. "lend its aid" in formation of a regional pact of Far Eastern countries a Pacific counterpart of the North Atlantic Treaty. But Erie Cocke, Dawson, chairman of the Legion's National Security Commission, said he favors writing-off China as lost to communism. This is the stand taken by the Truman administration. Cocke thumped for convention adoption of a resolution that would recommend U.

S. establishment of a Western Pacific defense line. This includes fortification of Japan, Alaska, and the Philippines key bases in a barrier designed to halt further Communist aggression in the Far East. Internal bickering among top Legion officials, past and present, broke out at the national executive committee session. National Commander Perry Brown of Beaumont, touched off the squabble.

Brown" denied charges made by Past National Commander Frank N. Belgrano, Portland, that the Legion is influenced by "kingmakers and politicians" and is bankrupt. Discrimination Charged Belgrano stuck to his accusations. He said further that present Legion leadership "discriminates against the veteran of World War II." Brown told the committee the Legion's finances were in a "precarious condition" and urged convention passage of a dues increase. Four past national commanders defended Legion leadership.

Meantime, some 4,000 members of the 40 and 8 the Legion's fun and honor group axe holding their own convention. They show off in parade fashion at their annual "Promenade Nationale" tonight. The women's auxiliary meets simultaneously with the Legion. Mrs. Norman L.

Sheehe of Rockford, 111., is slated to succeed Mrs. Hubert A. Goode, Indianapolis, as president. Bands Compete Eliminations continue in the junior and senior band, bugle, fife and drum, color guard, and drill contests. Final judging will be made tonight so winners can take places of honor in tomorrow's 13-hour parade.

And tonight, too. Gen, Lucius Clay, former military governor of the American Zone in Germany, will be principal speaker at a banquet honoring Commander Brown. Right now hilarity reigns. Thousands of Legionnaires are keeping the fun and pranks going 24 hours a day. Firecrackers pop off constantly.

Whistle-tooting, bell-clanging 40 and 8 boxcars zig-zag along downtown streets ddoging in and out of traffic. Electioneering is in full swing. Supporters of a half dozen candidates for the job of national commander buttonhole delegates in hotel lobbies, on the streets, in the meeting rooms. A veteran of World War II for the first time is expected to win the post. Bolivia (Continued From Pace One) rebels answered with pursuit planes and anti-aircraft nre.

Thev also were blamed fnr bloody rioting in the tin mines last jviay. President Asks Support The president called on the people to fight beside him in the streets, if necessary, to crush the revolution. Besides Cochabamba, a town of 76,000 on a plain about 150 miles from La Paz, the rebels hold the mining towns of Santa Cruz, Potosi, and Ururo. Thev are alsn renorfprf to hold the prefecture (police station) at Sucre, but the situation is not clear. Sucre is the official capital of Bolivia, but because of its extreme altitude the government sits at La Paz.

A government communique said today army planes would TPtnmo bombing Cochabamba from La Paz and continue in night past the city to the garrison town of Camiri. There, it said, the nlanes would barf soldiers and transport them to Sucre to advance on loot against Potosi. Ammunition Seized The communiaue also said Santa Cruz would be bombed. There has been no flghtingin La Paz, but government troops raided headquarters of the MNR and said tney. iouna vast quantities of guns and ammunition.

The heaviest loss appeared to be in the West Palm Beach-Fort Pierce area and around the big lake from Belle Glade to Canal Point. The Miami Herald piacea mo damage at $40,000,000. The Miami Daily News said it wouia iv.u $50,000,000. Chief Storm Forecaster Grady Norton said after a tour of the area yesterday that the loss was Deiow that of the monstrous 1928 hurri- "What the dollar loss amounts to depends much on what happens to the citrus crop," he saia. At moment I would say that the published estimate of $40,000,000 is aa accurate as could be made at this time.

Exact totals remain to be counted." Homes Hit Hard West Palm Beach alone estimated general damage at $4,325,000 and Palm Beach added $2,000,000. Damage at Stuart was put at $6,000,000 and every house in Fort Pierce sustained some damage. Vero Beach put its citrus damage at $1,500,000 and Lake Worth reported hardly a building was left undamaeed. Belle Glade said the loss there would reach $1,000,000. Pahokee and Canal Point also were hard hit.

Smaller communities along tne east coast and through the center of the state, where the great storm churned, also reported heavy losses to property and crops. The upper Indian River area, in Indian River County, also suffered a hard blow. Fred Johnston, sales manager of the Florida Citrus Exchange, estimated losses there at 60 per cent to grapefruit and 10 to 25 per cent on oranges. Price Boosts Seen Polk County, the state's biggest citrus producer, lost more fruit than any other area. Percentage losses there ran 40 to 60 on grapefruit and perhaps 20 per cent on oranges.

Much of the citrus loss may be regained by higher prices for the rest of the crop, growers said. The quarter-million dollar avocado industry in the Avon Park-Lake Placid area suffered 75 to 90 per cent droppage. Unlike the citrus, however, part of this dropped fruit is practically ripe and can be salvaged. 40 Planes "Wrecked At West Palm Peach where the hurricane threw its Sunday punch late Friday, 16 big transport planes and 24 private craft were wrecked at International Airport. A metal and concrete hangar also was reduced to junk.

A 250-mile stretch of the beach playgrounds suffered. Roofs, neon signs, palm trees, loose boards and debris hurtled through the air to be smashed. Radio towers and electric lines were brought to the ground. About 60 persons were reported injured. The body of Andrew Jonkman, 20.

was taken from the waters of Bis-cayne Bay yesterday. He had sunk his sailboat to protect it from the hurricane Friday and was swimming to shore when the rough waters engulfed him. Near Savannah, a small Negro boy was reported electrocuted by a fallen live wire. At Birmingham, a brief wind and thunderstorm, described as an "isolated blow," injured four per sons Sunday. It damaged several airplanes and disrupted electrical service.

Britain Continued From Pare One) closed-door cabinet talks were expected to last all day. The two men will sail for New York aboard the Cunard line Mauretania Wednesday. Sir Stafford is said to believa that Britain can get out of her economic plifht only through hard work by producing more goods at less cost and using high pressure salesmanship to earn the dollars she needs or raw materials and food. Associates say Bevin has been working for what he calls "integration" of the American and British currency systems. But they say Bevin has never made it clear whether he means a customs union, a common currency, or what.

Bevin has argued that "integration' is not only essential but also a logical outcome of Anglo-American diplomatic unity an idea that Treasury officials are said to pooh-pooh. They say Bevin is no economist. The conservative Sunday Times said today "the possibility of an economic merger between the dollar and sterling areas may be discussed at the Washington talks." Meanwhile the Financial Times estimated today that the gold and dollar working capital of Britain and the rest of the sterling nations has dwindled by around since the end of June. That would leave about In the spring of 1948, the Treasury said $2,000,000,000 was the rock bottom safe minimum. John Strachey, minister of food, and Hugh Gaitskell, minister of fuel, took part in the cabinet meeting, although they are not members of the cabinet.

This led to speculation that cuts to dollar purchases of gasoline and food were being discussed. Canadians Will Guard Affainst Dollar Ouarrel WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 (p). Canada was reported ready today to assume tne mediators role if the going gets rough in the delicate fi nancial talks between Britain and the United States. Canada's soothing words may not be needed.

Previously ruffled tempers on both sides had cooled considerably by the time pre liminary talks got under way Friday.

Probe 'Continued From Pare One) said the big question she wants an swered is whether Vaughan "did all tnese things to be a good fellow or for some other reason." With no hearing booked for to day, committee members had time to study an affidavit submitted over the week-end by James V.

Hunt, Washington management counsellor who has been called the main star of the inquiry by Senator Smith. In the affidavit Hunt said it seems to him the investigation has turned up "conclusive evidence of the absence of any improper influ ence" on his part. "If they (the investigators) have found any evidence of bribery or corruption, I would have heard from the Justice Department about it by this time," Hunt declared. The committee withheld a decision on whether to. let Hunt's sworn statement go into the record.

Doctors have Informed the investigators that Hunt is too ill to testify at this time. In turning the affidavit over to the committee, Roger Q. White, Hunt's attorney, said his client would be glad to appear in person when he has recovered." Mundt called the affidavit an in conclusive document and said the committee will want to ask Hunt many questions, particularly regard ing his relations with Vaughan. In ttfe affidavit Hunt denied that he ever said: "All I have to sell is influence," as was testified by Paul D. Grindle, a Massachusetts furniture manufacturer.

As for his relations with Vaughan, Hunt said: "Although we have been good friends socially, I have never, to the best of my recollection, asked Gen eral Vaughan to do anything for me or for a client or friend of mine more important than getting football tickets to the Army-Notre Dame football game."

Dying Hurricane Cuts Baltimore Power Lines BALTIMORE, Aug. 29 (U.R) The dying Florida hurricane still had eiough strength to cut power lines and topple trees as it passed over eastern Maryland early today. The Baltimore Weather Bureau reported sustained winds of 30 miles per hour with gusts ranging up to between 50 and 75 miles per hour at the height of the storm.

The strongest winds were reported about 1:25 a. m. The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company reported hundreds of telephones in the southern and eastern section of Baltimore were put out of commission when toppling trees tore down lines. In Baltimore County, 12 power lines failed, darkening Towson and surrounding communities. State police at Pikes ville reported two or three power failures.

No damage was reported to shipping on the Chesapeake Bay. Storm Loses Power In Carolinas, Virginia CHARLOTTE, N. Aug. 29 (P). The big hurricane was blowing itself out today.

It turned back to the northeast in North Carolina and southern Virginia in a dying effort to return to the Atlantic Ocean where it was spawned a week ago. The howling monster which ripped into Florida's gold coast Friday was described by weathermen as just another heavy windstorm. It raced across the Carolinae Piedmont section yesterday bring ing heavy rains. But its steel-twist ing Dower was reduced to limb breaking, shingle tearing, and the fouling of power and communica tions lines. The rains in the Carolinas caused smaller streams to overflow into frequently-inundated lowlands.

The effect on larger streams could not be determined at once. Lumberton, N. and Florence, S. reported gusts of 60 miles an hour; Greensboro, N. recorded 58 mph without damage to the city.

Charleston, S. had one report of a gust of 80 mph but damage was' limited to power lines. The choppy sea. aided by a -high tide, flooded streets in the bay area. It was in Georgia that the awe some freak of nature lost its super lative stature.

There the weather bureau changed the status from hurricane to disturbance at 11 a. yesterday. At 10 o'clock last night-the "eye" of the storm passed over Roanoke, Va. Winds up to 60 mph and heavy rain were reported. Three houses were demolished at Wakefield.

a farm house was leveled and other buildings damaged on a farm near Warsaw, Va. Winds Cause Damage In Philadelphia Area PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23 Winds reported by the weather bureau at velocity of 18 to 20 miles an hour ripped electrical wires, knocked down trees, and smashed a-store window as the tail end of the Florida hurricane struck here today. The weather bureau said there were some gusts of 30 miles an hour Emergency crews of the PTC and Philadelphia Electric Co. were busy making repairs during the storm.

Hurricane Brings Rain To Parched Maine Fields AUGUSTA, Aug. 29 (ff). The aftermath of a Florida hurricane bumped into a cold front moving down from Canada today and brought rain to Maine's parched The weather bureau said rain willf "considerably help the forest fire situation." Approximately 10.000 acres have been burned over. Forest Commissioner Albert D. Nutting said the Flagstaff Dead River fire will need "a lot of water to put it out," but that today's rain "is keeping things quiet for the time being." 6 Americans Seized In Russian Sector BERLIN, Aug.

29 (U.R) U. S. military police said today that the Russians arrested six Americans at a party in the Soviet sector of Berlin Saturday night and held them for 14 hours. The Americans were five soldiers, members of the 73th Constabulary, and the wife of one. Seven Germans attending the party also were arrested and freed after being questioned taiefly, 5 Hurricane (Continued From Pace One) the U.

S. Weather Bureau at the New Castle County Airport. It will be clearing with diminishing winds tonight, they said, and tomorrow "will be quite pleasant" with fair skies, lower temperatures, and less humidity. Today's high is expected to be about 80 degrees, 11 degrees lower than yesterday. Maximum temperatures tomorrow will also be in the low 80s, according to forecasters.

The winds early today reached velocities of from 35 to 55 miles an hour at the airport. After dawn, when the storm moved on, the winds dropped to about 20 to 25 miles an hour. Gusts were expected throughout today, due to an approaching cold front. Meanwhile four adults are missing after the storm howied over Delaware Bay. They were aboard a fishing boat that left Bivalve, N.

yesterday afternoon and has not been seen since. A Coast Guard patrol boat from Lewes joined others from Cape May in the search for Wilbur Henderson, 55, his wife, Edith, and- her brother and sister-in-law, all of Sewell, N. who disappeared aboard the fishing craft during the storm. Names of Mrs. Henderson's brother and his wife have not yet been determined.

The Coast Guard feared the boat was caught in the heavy storm. It has not yet given up. hope of finding the two couples. The Sea Scouts who escaped drowning tne Delaware Kiver five teen-agers and a 23-year -oid Scout leader are: Harry R. Kealey, 23, of 26727 Glen-lock Street, first mate; Robert Thomas Hoppe, 16, of 2720 Meridian Street; Francis J.

Schilling, 15, of 4744 Loring Street; George E. Cicero, 17, of 3327 Ella Street, and Harry S. Fletcher, 16, of 3735 Lilac Street, all of Philadelphia, and William J. Pres-sell, 16, of Andalusia, Pa. The Sea Scouts and Mate Kealey left Philadelphia yesterday on a week's training cruise in the face of storm warnings and were on their way down the Delaware River to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, the Chesapeage Bay, and Betterton, Md.

Overtaken by darkness, they anchored off the stone jetty, directly opposite the site of the new power plant. They made their beds in blankets on the boat, anchored about 100 feet off-shore. At about 3 o'clock this morning the wind storm swept over the area. Lights Flash SOS The boys, terrified by the height of the waves' and ferocity of the wTind, shouted for help and used their flashlights to send SOS signals ashore. William Thomas, 1234 East Twenty-second Street, Wilmington, a watchman on the- construction project, saw their signals and heard the shouts and called state police at Penny Hill station.

The state police sped to the scene and fearing the boat's anchor would pull loose from the force of the wind, shouted to the boys to let loose a rope. A small line was floated from the I boat-to the shore, and a large rope pulled back to the boat by Kealey and the Sea Scouts. The boys made the rope fast and used it as a means of getting ashore, with troop ers, assisted by two Philadelphians Joseph O'Hara, 1153 Front Street, and Daniel Mcanalli, 2746 North Carroll Street holding the shore end of the rope and pulling the boys to safety as they reached the rocks. Cared For at Station Kealey and the Sea Scouts were taken to the Penny Hill police station where they were bundled in blankets by the troopers. Their clothes were sent to a dry cleaners to be dried out.

The place where the scouts boat The Flying Cloud was anchored was one of the worst places which could be selected in case of a strong southeast wind, troopers said. If the boat's anchor had pulled loose, it could have been smashed against the big rocks which form the jetty. The Flying Cloud is a surf boat with' sail, but without motor, it is equipped with oars. Apparently it was undamaged by the storm as it was still floating safely at anchor this morning. Kealey and the Sea Scouts plan to continue their trip as soon as weather permits.

365 Phones "Dead The high winds and rain were the direct cause of power and telephone line failures in the Wilmington vicinity and scattered down-state areas during the night. D. M. Huber, manager of the Diamond State Telephone Company, said today that the trouble "was nothing more than what we consider normal following such weather. Mr.

Huber pointed out that a total of 365 telephones went out of service throughout the state. The cause of the failures, he attributed tCi fallen limbs and water-soaked cables or terminals. He said 300 of the phones reported 'mmmim hh mm mmm am mmm mmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmM mmmm U. S. WEATHER BUREAU 33 WILMINGTON.

The small craft warnings were still flying this morning. Coast Guard officials said they would not be removed until the all clear is received from the main station at Norfolk. Beaches Pounded The boardwalk and beaches at Rehoboth were practically deserted today as the heavy surf continued to roar ashore.

No damage of any extent was reported from that town, and merchants whose establishments along the boardwalk were most seriously threatened said "no special precautions were taken" to prepare for the storm's approach last night. Rehoboth, as well as most down-state towns, was littered with small branches and leaves this morning. State police in Kent and Sussex Counties said there were no highways blocked by debris. Small Boats Missing At Slaughter Beach, two small boats were lost during the 30-min-ute interval the storm's fury was at its peak. Some power lines and telephone circuits were down as the result of falling limbs.

Owners of the boats, Harvey Poore and Clarence Turner, said their craft were anchored at a point near shore. There was no trace of the boats this morning. Residents of Milford reported that during the heavy rains, water ran down the streets "like a mill-race." Some homes were damaged by water before sleeping occupants could close windows. The large limb of a tree blocked traffic on the Circle at Georgetown this morning until it was removed by workmen. It was.
