-PAGE EIGHT THE BROWNSVILLE HERALD SUNpAY, DECEMBER 81, 193S California Faces Horror of Her Third Catastrophe Within Nine Month FLOOD TAKES 31 LIVES; 27 YET LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2. (ff)--The horror of another catastrophe, the third in nice months, flooded California with misery, distress and enormous damage today. Sunday, the greatest single day of rainfall in history here," loosed flood waters which drowned at least 31 persons. In October 29 men were cremated in a brush lire.

Last March an earthquake terrorized the southland, claiming -102 lives. Scenes of Havoc Between. eight and 15 inches of rain, suddenly pouring down as through. trap-door, created scenes of havoc second only to the appall" of the earthquake. Besides the known dead, police listed 27 missing, 35 had suffered serious' injury and hundreds were -treated tor lesser hurts inflicted as avalanches of debris poured from the surrounding mountainsides over populated areas.

Hardly an acre of: the metropolitan area escaped without some scar. From a New Year's week-end nor- mally counted as one of the happiest periods here augmented as it is by the holidays and the famed Tournament of Roses football game, southern California awoke to scenes of appalling disaster. Stocks Damaged Fear and grief written into their faces, people searched the morgues and hospitals for missing kin. Store owners, hearts gladdened by the rush of a holiday business that had bettered the record of three years, surveyed store stocks damaged by silt and water. Others counted possibly 3,000 homes and 1,500 automobiles damaged badly by water, a score of bridges washed out, highways swept away, railroad tracks inundated and roadbeds undermined.

The collapse of bridges and the washing away, of homes caused most of the human casualties. Babies, boys and girls, young men and -women, middle-aged and elderly persons were among the victims. So furiously did the flood waters sweep through the area that for a time nearly all traffic was paralyzed. Twenty-four hours after the first roar of mud and rock-laden waters terrified the victims there was only a semblance of oritrly in- terrufaan and railroad train movements. Blame Cloudburst -Tracing the course of the dias- ter, flood control engineers agreed cloudburst in the Montrose area precipitated most of the damage and loss of life.

Montrose is a community cupped in tho foothills about 15 miles north of Los Angeles, separated from the metropolis by the low-lying mountains. Fate apparently had prepared cir- sumstances well for the terror it was to enact. Several weeks ago a disastrous fire, a blaze subsequent to the one in Griffith park here which took 29 lives, had burned the La Creascenta-La Canada-Montrose area bare of the brush that protected surrounding mountainsides. Normally heavy growth of mountain, slopes will counter-act the possibility of floods resulting from heavy rains. Thus with the hillsides bare, no resistance was offered by nature to the excesses railfall.

25 Foot Wall Raining constantly, beginning last Saturday, water accumulated until a wall 25 feet high was freed. While police and sheriff's offi- r-cials directed a search for victims and sought identification of the bo-, recovered, other agencies organized quickly to provide relief for sufferers and repair the damage done. Legionnaires aided in policing flooded districts and helped supply first aid. "i Venire, Beach Resort' where. homes were flooded; life guards manned row boats -and" rescued many of the stranded residents, sonie of were forced to seek shelter on the second floor or in acttics of their homes until aid arrived.

Showing Tuesday a your Capitol; New Stratosphere Flight Planned By Holder of Record WASHINGTpN, Jan. new balloon flight into the upper reaches of the atmosphere, possibly to the unprecedented height of 15 miles, is being considered by Chester L. Fordney of the marine corps and Lieut.

Commander T. G. W. Settle of the navy. The two recently established an official world's record, reaching 62,237 feet in a balloon which landed finally in a New Jersey marsh.

A higher record has been claimed by soviet fliers but their 1500 TEACHERS TO VISIT HERE "Approximately 1500 teachers arid trustees from 29 South Texas counties will attend the 1934 conference of the South Texas Division of the Texas State Teachers' association at Brownsville Feb. 8, 9, 10. "The New Deal and Education," the theme which has been selected as a basis for the program, is creating great interest, both personally and professionally, among the teachers of South Texas because of its practical significance. Speakers at the Brownsville conference are being chosen for their abilities to present concrete data on the place of education in the new reorganization, and to give the teachers definite information in regard to the adjustment that they will be required to make to fit into the "New Deal." Chiefly of interest will be the speakers who deal with the reorganization of the public school curriculum in Tex'as. Featured speakers on this subject will be L.

A. Wood, state superintendent; H. F. Alves, assistant state superintendent in-research and accounting; Dr. Fred C.

Ayer, curriculum consultant, other speakers who have Accepted invitations to appear on the program are Maury Hughes of Dallas; J. F. Loftta, president of the State Teachers association; and Dr. W. J.

Battle of the University of Texas. Officials at Brownsville are making siaJjorate plans to take care of their guests, and all those who attend the convention are assured of a delightful and entertaining weekend in the "tip-o-Texas." instrument readings were not submitted to the International Aeronautic Federation, and the Fordncy altitude stands as the peak attained by man. Maj. Fordney has already been asked by prospective sponsors of a new stratosphere flight to outline his views on the value of attempting to reach still higher altitudes with a larger balloon. In their first fight Settle and Fordney had a balloon of 600,000 cubic feet capacity.

They believe that 15 miles could be reached with a bag of 1,500,000 cubic feet. The marine officer now is discussing the possibility of a new stratosphere venture with Dr. Arthur H. Compton of the University of Chicago, scientific director of the last flight. Before leaving for Chicago, Fordney said one of the most important aims would be penetration of the so-called ozone layer.

This layer, once computed to be 35 miles above the earth, has been placed somewhat lower by more recent calculations. Fordney believes a 15-mile flight might pierce it and provide observations of vast benefit in future weather forecasting.

has for the second successive year, reduced her stake abroad. Dr. Max Winkler, Wall.Street economist, places America's entire Investment abroad at the beginning of 1934 at" $16,715,427,500, a decline of more "than $400,000,000 from a year ago, and of more than $1,250,000,000 from the peak reached in 1931. Exclusive of War Debt These figures are exclusive of the war debts or so-called political loans. On the basis of quotations prevailing in December, Dr.

Winkler calculates that American Investments, including direct investments such, as plant and property owned abroad, have a current value somewhere around $8,000,000,000 or $9,000,000,000. Despite the reduction, of the American stake in foreign lands in 1933, Dr. Winkler's calculations indicate that new. American. investments in foreign countries, in 1933 were larger than He places the 1933 figure at just under $157,000,000, compared with about $116,000,000 in- 1933.

Loan to China This $157,000,000 includes the RFC loan of $50,000,000 to China. It is estimated also that some. $45,000,000 of American money went.to Europe, in.part presumably representing a flight from depreciating nearly as much to Canada. The depreciation of the dollar has made it easier for foreign corporations and" governments wishing to repay American credits which are in the form of American dollar bonds to buy them up in the American market for retirement.
