Dr. Kwood Mead, reclamation commissioner, said in an interview Wednesday that "tens of thou- aands must be moved out" of western portions of the Dakotas, Ne- nraska and Kansas, and eastern portions of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. Dr. Mead said the drought situation had illustrated his contention that these areas should not have fceen subjected to intensive agricultural development. The relief administration has out a general program for what it has designated as poor farm areas.

Under this classification it included some dry land farming area to eastern Colorado, western Kansas, a small portion of the Oklahoma panhandle and some of west Texas, and some grazing and dry farming areas in the western part of the Dakotas and Nebraska, and the eastern- part of Montana and Wyoming. plans have not been worked' out, however, except for South Dakota where the administration now is working with the state in a progam to enable farmers on submarginal land to exchange these farms for more productive lands.

NEW YORK--Disturbed by war rumors arising from the Austrian crisis, prices in the New York Stock Exchange Thursday experienced their worst spill in nearly a year. By early afternoon, many issues were off SI to $10 a share and many were at new low prices for 1934.

WASHINGTON The end of the nazi movement in Austria as a result of the assassination of Chancellor Dollfuss was forecast Thursday by L. G. Froch- nik, the Austrian minister, upon Ms return to Washington. PARIS Premier Doumergue reiterated that Austria must be kept independent. BERLIN German officials sent their condolences to Austria and in Munich an unconfirmed rumor spread that Chancellor Hitler actually has gone there to prevent a march of nazis into Austria; the German minister to Austria was recalled.

VIENNA circulating abroad that Italian troops had crossed the Austrian border emphatically denied by the Austrian foreign as being "ab- unfounded." VIENNA--An unverified report from the province of Carinthia stated that Yugoslavian soldiers had fired across the Austrian border, causing a concentration of Austrian troops in that region. DUCEPLEDGES (Continued From Page One) aary only in case of Austro-German union.) All reports indicated that the powers were in strong accord that extraordinary measures must be taken rather than allow the nazis to seize control Austria, if that seemed imminent. Italy Blames Germany Among groups of Italian former service men a wave of war-time sentiment found ready expression as news of Dollfuss' assassination p-er- rceated the kingdom. Expressions of deep resentment against Germany for alleged interference in Austria were freely passed to clubs and on street corners. Chandler to Speak For R.

Stocks catapulted 1 to around 10 points or so at their worst when rumors spread through Wall street that Italian troops had marched into Austria. Whil prices were irregularly lower at the start, there was a drowned swoop in the second 'hour which put the ticker tape several minutes behind floor transactions and resulted in the worst break since last September. Grains and cotton, steady to firm at the beginning, turned backward with securities.

Most of the cereals showed losses of 1 to more than 2 cents a bushel. Rubber and silver lagged. Pressure was renewed against secondary bonds, especially these of the railroad category, arid many severe recessions were recorded. German, Austrian and Italian were unusually heavy. Foreign exchanges were irregular.

Scores of shares, notably those known as "pivotal" leaders, went into new low ground for tlfe year or longer. Selling dried up for a brief space around noon, then the slide was resumed at an accelerated pace. most severe of the stock casualties included National Lead and U. S. Smelting, off around 10 points each.

Union Pacific, Case, Allied Chemical, and Armour of Illinois Preferred yielded 6 to 7, Kowe Sound and American Sugar Refining 5 each, and Santa Fe, American Can, N. Y. Central, Du Pont, Sears Roebuck, American Telephone, U. S. Steel, Chrysler, General Motors, International Nickel, Western Union, U.

S. Industrial Alcohol, International Telephone, Westinghouse, Manville, American Tobacco Montgomery Ward, Bethlehem Steel and many others sagged 2 to more than 4. A flood of margin calls found nu. merous small speculators without the inclination or the funds to bolster their accounts and much of the liquidation was attributed to this source. A considerable Increase in the short position was also reported by commission houses.

Brokers with foreign connections said there had been no exceptional liquidation of shares held abroad and, in some quarters, this was interpreted favorably.

(IP)--The curb market was distinctly reactionary under the weight of a general selling movement which developed at the outset and showed no signs-of abating. Trading was in substantial volume.

Active issues that displayed moderate resistance to the downward trend in the previous session dropped, along with others, under the large telling orders which brokers reported accumulated overnight and within a few minutes after the market opened losses of around 1-2 to a point were established by leading issues. Electric- Bond Share, the most heavily traded to stock, yielded nearly a point as did American Gas, American Cyananiid Lake Shore Mines, Williams and Swift Co.

Cotton opened quiet Thursday. Liverpool was a shade lower than due and first trades here showed 3 points down on October at 12.72 and unchanged on December at 12.87.

Traders seemed disposed to await the weather map and more detailed information on the effects of the Texas coast storm. The market Improved somewhat after the start, mainly on short covering and October improved to 12.78 and December to 12.90 these levels showing a net gam of 3 to 4 points. The market became more active as the morning progressed. Early reports of damage to crops by the Texas storm caused prices to nuly 7 to 10 points from the early lows to 12.82 for October and 12.94 for December. Subsequent showing of the detail weather map, indicating good rains over a considerable area in the path of the storm induced selling and prices dropped 18 points to 12.64 for October and 12.76 for December, or 10 to 11 points below the close of Wednesday.

VISITING IN HOUSTON Mrs. Tom Sweeney and sen toft tnr vlait MILLIONS OF (Continued from Page One) to wreckage along the beach. Hoof- leal tangled communica- tiops limes, washed out bridges, ruined and muddy roads marked the desolate tcent inland.

Others reported dead were: Hugh W. Hereford, 63, drowned near preeport. Daniel B. Singleton, 40, drowned near Texas City. Mrs.

Red Howard, Bay City, and her small daughter, drowned near Sargent, Matagorda county. Adolph Socha, drowned near Sargent. Six unidentified negroes, drowned near Sargent. Unidentified man, drowned at Freeport. Carey Smith, editor of the" Bay City Tribune said Thursday morning that around 17 persons were missing in the Bay City and Sargent area.

They were all believed to have been swept to death when a wall of water pushed by the 80 mile wind, rushed over the lowlands there for a distance of six miles inland. Ten persons were missing in (he Matagorda Bay area. Ftahermen MfeBfac Bay residents said they were told that six persons had been camped on the Matagorda peninsula when the storm broke eany Wednesday. They had not been accounted for. The wall of water rushed in so rapidly that persons to its path had little chance to escape it.

It was variously estimated at between four and 20 feet high. Searchers began the hunt for those missing as soon as the water receded. Among the missing were Mr. and Mrs. "Red" Howard of Bay City, who operate a camp near Sargent and.their baby daughter.

Howard had made his way to Sargent during the height of the storm with Ray W. O'Dell and started back for his wife and daughter, according to Mr. Smith. He had intended to swim to the drawbridge over the (Intra-Coastal Canal and make his way to the fishing camp, but never was seen again after he started for the bridge. Hat Is Found Four fishermen, out in Matagorda bay in two small boats when the wind struck, were missing.

William Greenwald and Cal Ryman were in one of the boats while Clarence Beck and a Mr. Breaux were to the other. A straw hat washed ashore and believed to have been that of Breaux, added to the belief that the fisherman had drowned. Six or seven persons who nad been staying at a fishing camp on Matagorda peninsula were feared to have been caught by the tide. Plans made to ask aviators from Fort Crockett at Galveston to fly over the peninsula Thursday in an effort to learn if the persons weathered the storm.

High Tidal Wave Old timers said the tidal wave was the worst the section had ever known. The wind was blowing 60 miles an hour when the great wave rolled inland, flooding Sargent. It was 15 miles in length and rushed over the six-mile stretch inland to 15 minutes. Residents were trapped. Watsr stood everywhere at a depth cf 3 and Vi feet.

The government drawbridge over the intracoastal canal crumbled as the huge wall of water brushed into it. All crops were levelled. Observers said the brunt of the storm apparently was felt between Port O'Connor and Rockport. Terrific winds destroyed small craft and buildings. Residents Flee Refugees fled the Matagorda county area and huddled in the public buildings of Victoria.

The residents evacuated sections all along the coast as weather bulletins were issued, escaping the full force of the storm. The wind and torrential rain and high tides were the finishing touches of destruction for cotton crops, already badly hurt by an extended drought. Early estimates placed the crop damage' at several million dollars. At Galveston great waves sprayed over the seawall and levelled flimsy beach homes a 46-mile- an-hour wind whipped into the island city. Only minor damage was wrought to the city.

The wind stripped roofs from Corpus Christi buildings. High water caused slight damage along the beach front. Slight damage was reported on the causeway connecting Aransas Pass with Harbor Island. Water Several Feet Deep Oil workers waded in waist deep water at High Island to save derricks. Nearby houses were destroyed by the wind and water.

Preeport residents watched one of the tides rise ten and a -half feet--one of the largesj; rises to the history of the town. Outlying sections near the town were flooded when the levee broke in five places. In nearby Velasco, water stood several feet- deep because of levee breaks. While Freeport battled the lash- tog wind, a baby was bom to Mrs. Herman Hare to the Freeport hospital.

Physicians used lighted matches. All electric light lines had been blown down. The wind drove inland, reaching as far as. San Antonio, where the weather bureau reported a 42-mile- an-hour blow. Trees were uprooted, windows broken, electric power lines smashed and dropped into the streets.

Many persons had narrow escapes from falling limbs and live wires. A heavy rain accompanied the wind. Beaimontera gtrsndtd More than 1,000 Beaumonters were left stranded in the oil town of High Island after the seven foot rise. They were driven but of beach resorts to the highest land to the section. Water encircled the town, washing out highways and cutting it off from the mainland.

Food and water was plentiful, but the newcomers were cramped for sleeping quarters. Automobiles proved to be popular beds. The first heavy loss of cattle was reported on the western end of Galveston Island. Some 500 or 600 head of cattle were drowned.

The government, it was indicated, will act sternly against the killers of its former leader, but apart from punishment, it was indicated itat one of the subjects of most concern was that of relationship with other countries as a result of murder. Border Fired Across A report which was not immediately confirmed from the province of CarintH declared Yugoslavian soldiers 13d across the Austrian jorder and Austrian troops had jeen concentrated there as a. result. The man who would have been chancellor, perhaps, Anton Rintelen, died soon after Dollfuss. He, too, died of a bullet wound but he was jail when death came to him.

It was announced officially that he had committed suicide. At the time of the nazi putsch, Rintelen was announced as the "new chancellor." Vienna appeared a city of tragedy. Large black funeral banners flew from all public buildings, from thea- and from many shops and lomes. The worried faces of pedestrians clearly revealed the public tension the uncertainty of Austria's future. Martial Law Declared 'Placards announcing martial iaw were posted everywhere.

Damage was confined to boats and waterfront structures at Port Lavaca, Port O'Connor and Rockport. Both approaches to the causeway at Lavaca Bay were under water and believed to have been washed away.

Crops in that section were destroyed. RAIN DAMAGES (Continued Prom Page One) $7-50 per bale to some instances, though the general average of damage will run under $5, ifc is thought. Officials of the Valley Gin company Thursday stated that approximately 24,000 bales of cotton had been ginned in the Valley tdrough Thursday, and estimated that only between 5,000 and 6,000 bales have been sold. An ncy arrangement whereby Rio Grande Valley farmers might market their ginned product is expected to become effective shortly. Prank.

Scofield of Austin, federal internal revenue announced that a plan he had offered Washington officials for relief to the Valley had been accepted and that complete information was en- route to Valley ginners. Accordirig to information, the plan would allow Valley farmers to sell their cotton under tatermin certificates. The government would be indemnified against loss of its excess production tax by a requirement that farmers desiring to sell their cotton place the amount of the cotton tax to escrow until they receive permanent certificates from the state allotment board. At present, county agricultural agents to the four Lower Rio Grande Valley counties are issuing interim which allow sals of about one third of the. individual farmer's cotton quota.

The remainder cannot be sold until permanent tax exemption certificates are Issued. It is estimated that more than 20,000 bales of cotton have been ginned to the Valley thus far, of which a very small number have 'been sold.

The grandstand at the Fair grounds was unroofed, the automobile show building was wrecked but a number of cars stored to it were undamaged. A oil tank belonging to a railroad was crushed. 60-Mile Wind It was estimated that the wind reached a velocity of.

60 miles an hour. It had subsided to a breeze Thursday. Between 'Victoria and Port Lavaca, countless windmills were overturned, fruit was strippec from trees, grata crops were flat on the ground and many buildings were roofless or to ruins. There was a difference of opinion as to whether the storm had damaged the cotton Previously drought had stunted the cotton and growers expected to pick but a small fraction, of the amount normally raised in this section. Some were hopeful Thursday that the rain which drenched their fields would improve the crop.

Others feared that the hard wind and rain had finished the destruction. Three oil derricks were blown over to the Colette Creek oil field five miles southwest of Victoria.
