By KATHY THOMAS The Daily News GALVESTON If your car was flooded in the downpour Monday, call your insurance agent before taking it to a mechanic for repairs.

Insurance agent Henry Freudenburg recommended that owners whose automobiles were in water deep enough to dampen the carpet should call an agent. If the carpet is damp, that's a good indication that mechanical parts may need repairs. Policyholders with comprehensive insurance should have damage from rising water covered, he said. An insurance agent will verify the deductible and may recommend an auto repair shop that specializes in water-damage repairs. Freudenburg also said that' if your car's brakes begin to squeak or if you have any question that there might be damage, call an agent.

Alonso Quintanilla who with his father owns Complete Car Care Center at 4701 Broadway, said car owners will save money in the long run if they have repairs done as soon as possible after the vehicle has been exposed to deep water. He recommends the following repairs if a car is partially submerged: Change brake, transmission, motor oil, differential and power steering fluids in case water has gotten into the lines. Remove the tires to clean and inspect rear brakes and replace grease seals on front brakes. Repack wheel bearings. Remove and clean the starter.

Lubricate the front chassis. If water has gotten inside the car, it may be necessary to remove the seats, replace the jute under rugs and air out rugs to prevent mildew. Repairs may range from $285 to $685, he said. If a car's engine is completely submerged, Quintanilla said it will be necessary to clean everything under the hood, including the alternator, and inspect the electrical system. This work could run between $925 and $1,050.

'Beverly Hillbillies' actress dies at 69 Associated Press PALM DESERT, Calif. Actress Nancy Kulp, best known for her role as the erudite secretary Jane Hathaway on "The Beverly Hillbillies" TV series, has died of cancer. She was 69. Miss Kulp died Sunday at 12:35 a.m. in a desert residence, said John Caranci of Wiefels and Son Funeral Home.

Miss Kulp graduated with a journalism degree from Florida State University and wrote feature stories for the Miami Beach Tropics in the early 1940s. "My first love has always been journalism," she once said in an interview. Miss Kulp wrote profiles, she said, of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Clark Gable, Myrna Loy and Errol Flynn. She began her film career with non-speaking parts before Kulp landing talking roles in "The Model and the Marriage Broker" and "Shane." Her cpme- dic skills were first exposed when she played the secretary in "Love That Bob," starring the late Robert Cummings. In 1962, she was cast as the lain, erudite secretary hope- jssly in love with Jethro in the hit TV series "The Beverly Hillbillies." Miss Kulp tried running for Congress as a Democrat from Port Royal, in 1984, but was defeated.

"Beverly Hillbillies" co-star Buddy Ebsen had publicly opposed her, claiming she was too liberal. She then moved to Palm Springs and became involved in several charity organizations, including the Humane Society of the Desert, the Desert Theatre League and United Cerebral Palsy. "She was there for us when we needed her," said theater league president Gary Walker. "She was a sweet and caring lady." Funeral arrangements were incomplete and Caranci said he didn't have names of family survivors. Vandals targeting Dickinson windows GALVESTON By ANNE COMSTOCK The Dally News DICKINSON Slingshot-toting vandals have caused thousands of of dollars in damages by breaking windows at several Dickinson businesses recently.

Police say they don't know who might be responsible for the nighttime vandalism in the past several weeks. Police Chief Wayne Broussard said Monday that windows have, been broken repeatedly for the last three or four weeks by someone using a slingshot-type device to shoot things through the glass. He declined to say what they were finding had broken the windows. "We don't have the slightest idea who it is," Broussard said. "But we know they're not using guns." The latest incidents were recorded Jan.

29 when some businesses were hit for a second or third time. Former Dickinson Mayor Ron Morales said his father's business, Country Inn Barbecue, has fallen victim three times. "We have three holes in two windows," Morales said. "It cost about $400 to $500 for each one. He doesn't have insurance for glass, so it makes it bad." He said that they have no way to prevent the vandals from striking'again unless they sleep at the restaurant.

"It's the only thing you can do," he said. "And they wouldn't want to find me here if they came back." Convenience stores, gas stations, furniture stores and meat markets also have suffered losses because of the breakage. One business owner who asked not to be identified said the vandalism was an inconvenience for him. "I don't like holes in my windows," he said.

California cut off state irrigation water deliveries to farmers Monday in an unexpected and unprecedented move to save dwindling supplies for cities as the state's record drought worsens. The action dramatized the severity of the fifth consecutive dry year, by many measures the driest on record.

It was the first farm supply cutoff by the State Water Project, which dates back to the 1960s. In 1977, formerly the driest on record, the project cut deliveries to farms by 60 percent. The announcement Monday was coupled with word that urban customers will likely get half of their usual allotments, making the strict rationing contemplated by state officials in recent weeks a virtual certainty. In 1977, the supply to city customers was cut just 10 percent. In a normal year, the State Water Project supplies about 7 percent of the water used by California's 30 million residents.

Few fanners rely solely on the State Water Project, but deliveries from the larger and more heavily used Central Valley Project, a federal program, also are expected to be reduced by 65 percent or more sometime this month, according to authorities. The double blow will force many farmers to pump much more water from the ground, which is expensive because of electricity consumption, or to take land out of production. Bob Krauter, a spokesman for the member California Farm Bureau Federation, said the state cutoff will certainly "have a big impact." "Everybody's trying to assess the situation and determine what it means," he said. "It caught a lot of people off guard. Trying to keep trees and vines alive is going to be a real challenge." Carrying out officials' orders, engineers curtailed operation of 10 plants that pump state water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta into the California Aqueduct.

Melting snow flows into reservoirs, then through rivers, to the delta. But rainfall and the snowpack are averaging a quarter of normal levels statewide. Water storage in California's reservoirs averages less than a third of normal. By several measures, it is the driest period on record in California. SUBSCRIBE TODAY!
