SCAR ON IIS HI PFRI There is danger of heavy winter rains causing considerable damage to West End property, lying directly south of the recently fire-scarred mountain area, it was stated yesterday by Roberts E. Jones, acting su pervisor of the San Bernardino national forest.

Acting Supervisor Jones' assertions were based on a report made by Charles J. Kraebel, the region's senior silviculturist who inspected the area for the second time yesterday with Mr. Jones, J. E. Elliott, former San Bernardino national forest supervisor, and William Jones, acting supervisor of the Angeles national forest.

Particular concern was felt for San Antonio heights which is directly in front of Frankish canyon, one of the most badly burned portions, they said. Dry erosions in the form of slides already has started in that canyon which occupies about 250 acres in the center of the burned region, it was revealed in Mr. Kracbel's report. As a consequence, heavy erosion is expected there when soaking rains begin. "Over a large part of the canyon," the report stated, "the fire burned with such intensity that the former brush covering is completely consumed and not even stumps remain to offer partial control of the soil.

The steepness of the slopes and the stream gradients will cause rapid concentration of water during heavy rains and will produce a runoff of high velocity and carrying power." This portion is likened, although on a minor scale, to the mountain area north of Montrose before the disastrous flood of a year ago last New Year's day. DeWitt Nelson, who this week was promoted from the position of supervisor of the San Bernardino national forest, already had insti tuted plans to sow mustard seed on the burned area. It Is hoped that the seed will be planted in the early part of next month so that it will be ready to germinate when the rains start. Such growth is expected to hold the soil together somewhat. E.

A. Bread Price Boost Not to Affect City Rate Although specialty bakers of the Los Angeles district announced yesterday that prices of French, Italian, Jewish, rye and potato bread will be boosted today one to two cents a pound, William H. Meyer of the Moyer Baking Co. in San Bernardino, said last night that no change in prices will go into effect today in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The Associated Bakers of Southern California announced yesterday in Los Angeles that bread prices will be boosted today as the result of an agreement reached within the industry.

Mr. Meyer said, however, that the Associated Bakers comprises only a few companies and the announcement cannot be taken as general. "Action may be taken today or VvXlN w3U''w Great Craft Dwarfs Even Largest of Present Ships Dwarfing even the largest type of modern bomber airplanes now in use, the United States army air corps is now testing America's largest bomber, said to be able to outfly any other bombing craft built. The giant airplane is said to be the fastest and longest-range bomber ever built, and would make possible air defense power second to none in the world. Built by the Boeing aircraft company in Seattle, manufacturers of many types of craft now used by the army air corps, the immense ship is powered by four motors.

The airplane made its first public appearance in Seattle and was then submitted to the air corps for severe test flights in open competition with other types at Wright field, Dayton, Ohio. Not only has the ship been equipped with all the latest improvements for flying and convenience, but many new features in armament installations have been incorporated in the design. The big land plane has a wing span of 100 feet and a length of 70 feet. It is all metal with re-tractible landing gear to increase its speed in flight. Air brakes and an automatic pilot increase the safety factor in halting the craft after landing and in flying.

A two-way radio telephone provides communication between the airplane and ground stations. Sanity Quiz Follows Attempted Suicide Albert Garcia's repeated attempts to end his life will result today in the filing of an insanity complaint, said Redlands police yesterday. Garcia yesterday was in the psychopathic ward at the county hospital, having been revived at the Redlands fire department Saturday night after endeavoring to asphyxiate himself at his home, 1216 Clay street. Recently Garcia, held in the Redlands city jail for intoxication, shattered a bottle and swallowed the splinters. His life was saved at the county hospital, where the pulverized glass was extracted.

Bert Monson, of 1211 Clay street, told police Saturday night that he had rescued Garcia from a gas-filled kitchen at the Garcia home. He had written a despairing note to his wife, who had separated from him eight days before. Erlene Hollingsworth, of 1224 Clay street, helped Monson drag Garcia from the kitchen, after which firemen restored him to consciousness. sometime this week," Meyer said, "but so far as is known, prices in this district will remain the same for at least today." W. F.

Ireland, manager of the Associated Bakers, announced yesterday that the prices on specialty breads, such as French and rye, will go up to eight cents a pound loaf wholesale and 10 cents retail, a one to two cent increase per pound. "Retail bakers, that is those who bake and sell over their own counters, will advance all of their baked prices one to two cents a pound," he said. "Pan bakers, those who bake the white and whole wheat bread most widely used, will from Tuesday to Thursday advance their prices to seven to eight cents a pound loaf, wholesale, and nine to 10 cents retf SEEN IN 1ST Far western business has reached its highest level in 43 months, as measured by the statistical index of Bank of America. According to the September issue of the Bank of America Business Review, the bank's preliminary August index of far western business registered 69.2, the highest point since January, 1932.

St. Phon Jacobsen to Keep Pulpit At Redlands The Rev. Lewis Jacobsen, pastor of Redlands First Baptist church, who has rejected offer of Santa Barbara pulpit. His refusal of the pastorate of the First Baptist church of Santa Barbara was announced to his congregation yesterday by the Rev. Lewis Jacobsen, pastor of the First Baptist church of Redlands.

"After consulting with officers of my church here, I have declined the invitation to become pastor of the Santa Barbara church," said the Rev. Dr. Jacobsen. "I have dismissed the matter from my mind, preferring to remain inter ested the city of Redlands and the University of Redlands, which is so closely associated with our church. The important work to be done here presents a challenge that I cannot ignore by accepting the other opportunity." The Santa Barbara church, with a membership approximating 1,000, is twice the size of the Redlands institution, of which the Rev.

Dr. Jacobsen has been pastor for eight years. "The call from Santa Barbara came unsolicited by me and was extended in an urgent manner," he stated.
