Rather than face the storm at anchor in the harbor, two battleships and a destroyer put out to sea from San Pedro. Los Angeles measured 2.07 Inches of rain, of which half an Inch fell in 12 minutes. Snow fell early Friday In the citrus fruit sections at and near Riverside and San Bernardino, but the crop loss was expected to be small as it melted as it hit the ground. The storm left scores of families homeless, driven from their residences by overflow waters of ordinarily dry washes In the Canoga Park district.

The Coast Guard late Thursday night rescued four persons from a drifting barga off Long Beach. Earlier a Coast Guard cutter saved the life of Ernest H. Wylie, of San Pedro, whose 14-foot boat was wrecked at Point Firmin. Aground a mile south of Humboldt Bar, the lumber schooner Tiverton, with a crew of 19 men aboard, was lashed by a heavy sea early Friday as Coast Guardsmen attempted to render aid. Distress signals sent out by the craft, a 336-ton wooden vessel owned by the Christenson-Hammond Line, were seen shortly after midnight by the Eureka Coast Guard station and rescue efforts were started immediately.

Launches and small boats were sent to the scene and the Coast Guard cutter Cahokia started a 300-mile dash from San Francisco. The Eureka Red Cross chapter prepared to aid If needed. Miniature flood reports kept police busy and 16 families were taken from the Canoga Park district when a torrent became threatening. A bridge over what normally was a "waterless" stream was closed to traffic when it became weakened by the surge of water.

It has been impossible heretofore to separate them from the obscuring masses of millions of other body cells. Unharmed by their iron meal they are raised "in vitro," that is. they continue to live and grow in glass dishes. Thtre they are now under observation at the institute, for learning more about their tunc-, Uons. The method is reported by Peyton Rous and J.

W. Beard. The cells are those of the "reticulo-endothelial system." and they line the blood-vessels of some of the organs. Those in the liver are called Kupffer cells after the name of the man who discovered them. The best known specialty of the reticulo-endothelial cells is "phagocytosis," literally "eating," because they engulf and digest bacteria, and other particles.

When they have eaten a large meal, they come loose front the surface they cover, like hingles falling, off a roof, and float away In the blood. It is this trick of slipping off after a meal pf magnetic iron that enables the magnet to trap them so readily. These Kupffer cells appear to have other functions in addition to being merely "eaters." They not only cleanse the blood stream of bacteria but they are supposed to produce the "antibodies" circulating in the blood as immunity develops to disease, and they may be responsible for part at least of the pigment that causes Jaundice. ready to take up legislation to change the bankruptcy laws.

The special train was due to stop at Decatur at 1:10 p.m., when Mr. Roosevelt will make a platform talk and then reach Birmingham at 4 p.m., when another five-minute talk Is scheduled. There was still some confusion as to what plans would be made for receiving a crowd at the N. Station. In Birmingham, and It was possible Friday that the number which will be able to see and hear the president-elect will be confined to those that can find space within the station's platforms.

Efforts were being continued, however to carry out the original plans for having Mr. Roosevelt addresR a large crowd along Morris Avenue. Rental Received Although Muscle Shoals is considered to have been more or less dormant since its construction, the government has received since 1921 $6,639,888.05 in payments from the Alabama Power Company for energy purchased from Wilson Dam and for rental of U. S. N.

P. No. 2 Steam Plant. The dam energy payments from 1925 to 1932 amounted to while that for the plant totaled $1,705,990.04 between 1921 and 1932. The future of Muscle Shoals must lie in peace time pursuits if the statement of Maj.

PROGRAM NOT IN BAG Danger is looming ahead for the administration's revenue and debt funding hopes and even many warm administration partisans are cooling off somewhat over the workability of the plan whereby a salas tax would be imposed on the general public in the highly calculated effort to use this as a club to force voters' endorsement of the Income tax amendment. It is now dawning on many at the capitol that the plan might work beautifully were it not for the fact that the administration has a big favor to ask of the voters, namely, their legal acknowledgment of the $20,000,000 deficit. It lies entirely in the hands of the voters to validate the deficit and a battering ram procedure at the hands of the administration and the Legislature to force them to accept an income tax unwillingly or else psy the penalty with a permanent sales Isvy might cause them in their protest against such highhandedness to toss overboard any program the governor offered to them for their formal consideration. PRESSURE ON LEGISLATURE The plan has an additional feature unfavorable to the administration. A large bulk of the indebtedness which Gov.

Miller is insisting must be paid now, although his counsellor. Senator Teasley, of Montgomery, has admitted the deficit is an accumulation of debts over a period of more than 20 years, is in the form of warrants held by school teachers, building and road contractors. These warrants are scattered widely over the state and their holders would hardly stand by quietly while the Legislature and the governor were endangering the final payment of the paper. Undoubtedly they would protest to the Legislature and try to head off any move which might cause voters to repudiate the debts and thus postpone payment indefinitely. COMPROMISE HINTED Sensing great possibilities of a legielative tug of war more bitter than the last special session, several legislators are expressing hope that a compromise, however indefinite one appears to be at present, may arise out of the present uncertainty.

Unless such a compromise is presented end the people are convinced beyond doubt that tho program thus offered is for the best interests and welfare of the state and people, they see little chance of the voters ratifying the state's debts. As for the session being a brief one and limited to but few bills, that appears now to be more or less a pipe dream. With several hundred bills of all kinds and shades in the offing, even the most hopeful legislators are saying the session will last six to eight weeks. GAS TAX NIGHTMARE A few standpat legislators from the smaller counties bristled In hotel lobbies Thursday when Information reached Montgomery that the Commute of 500 was considering a plan for temporary use of gasoline taxes now going to the counties to pay interest on school warrants. Immediately they put out the word that It would be an impossibility to recapture any portion of their gasoline bounty.

Their statements, however loud, were not entirely without a ring of bluff. On the last day of the 1932 special session the House passed a tentative appropriation bill which would have recaptured $500,000 of the 1932 one cent gasoline tax and paid it over to maintenance of convicts. The Senate alone saved them from the loss. Such a program as suggested by the Committee of 500, holds possibilities of forcing recalcitrant legislators to choose between the school marms of the backwoods, the greatest sufferers from the non-payment of school warrants, and their county officeholders, who are now receiving the gasoline tax "bacon" from the state, according to law for the building of county roads. NEW TYPE OF DEFICIT The state is understood to be running up a new kind of debt.

Instead of issuing warrants, the Highway Department in recent purchases of road building equipment is said to be buying on the credit plan, promising to pay the notes within two years. The Miller administration is beginning its third year and if this plan ia continued and the deficit is not liquidated soon, the next administration may inherit some promissory notes as well as unpaid warrants. Capitol lobbies and corridors chuckled Thursday when a Montgomery newspaper printed a news item that 40 additional electric light bulbs had been Installed in the executive mansion to flood the governor's dwelling when President Elect Roosevelt and other notables are his guests Saturday night.

The directors at a meeting Thursday night endorsed the reorganization plans and favored the reopening of the institution. Under the reopening plans 95 per cent of the depositors must approve the action and officers of the bank estimated that 75 per oent gave their approval at the Thursday meeting.

J. J. Lee, president, announced that H. C. Prlckett, cashier, would be at the bank from 9 a.m.

In diplomatic quarters, note was taken immediately that the statement referred to Great Britain alone. At the very time It was Issued, blasts against the French default on payment of its Dec.

15 debt installment to this country were being sounded. Senator Robinson Ind.) had set it off with a scathing speech, in which he termed France a "thorough ingrate." He was joined by senators prominent in both parties. The White House statement was reviewed in detail by the president. Stlmson and Mills in the executive offices before it was given out by one of the chief executive's secretaries. Great Britain met Its Dec.

15 instalment, thereby causing a favorable reaction here. Prior to doing so, however, the British emphasized in strong language that the payment was considered as the last to be made under existing arrangements. There has been discussion, very serious discussion, of settling the whole war debts situation by a lump sum paymsnt by the European debtors. It would help to balance the budget next year and dispose of the whole vexing issue. But the president-elect went to Friday's meeting at the White House, with no apparent commitments.

Mr. Roosevelt took advantage of his overnight stay in Washington to talk over the complicated congressional situation and to size up prospective cabinet members. After a long series of meetings Thursday night he was described as "reconciled" to an extra session of the new Congress. This will be called In all probability in mid-April, affording him first a fair opportunity to organize the new Democratic government after the March 4 Inauguration. Before consulting with Secretary Stlmson soon after his arrival Thursday, the president-elect talked with Senator Johnson, California Republican who supported htm In the campaign.

Johnson has been at odds constantly with the Stlmson foreign affairs policy. He also has been mentioned frequently for the cabinet although he is not expected to listen to such an offer should one be made. The attendance of Norman H. Davis, of New York, American arms and economic delegate, In the meeting Thursday between Mr. Roosevelt and Secretary Stlmson led to speculation that he would he the Roosevelt secretary of state but there was not the slightest confirmation of this in any quarter.

However, the talk between the president-elect and Senator Glass, of Virginia, was regarded as most significant. It is known Mr. Roosevelt wants the Virginian for secretary of the treasury. It Is believed' he has insisted upon this. But again there was no confirmation.

Senator Long La.) made a call upon Mr. Roosevelt Thursday night, also. He rfnd Senator Glass have been in a bitter contest In the Senate over the latter's banking bill. Long said he and the president-elect were still "pals." but there was no hint from the latter's headquarters that he had Indulged In the slightest way In taking sides In the dispute over branch banking. Npt only debts but a wide range of other International problems were expected to be discussed at the White House between Mr.

Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt. One, the Far Eastern crisis, has been put into the foreground as an important topic. Secretaries Mills and Stimson planned to sit In with the president while Prof. Raymond I.

Moley, the president elect's economic adviser, accompanied the latter.

It is not likely that any serious direct ehailenge to the army 4eadershtp which now dominates the councils of state will arise, but the 1933 budget, totaling nearly 225,000,000 yen emphasizes the question as to how long Japan can afford to pay for campaigns in Manchuria and possibly further afield. Critics of the budget have asserted the present army policies are running the empire into debt at the rate of 1,000,000,006 yen a year and that ruin looms ahead. Nevertheless it is a foregone conclusion that the budget will be passed-, because no political group of any influence cares to challenge the military element now.

I would greatly favor that. I would even go further and reduce it, say.

"More than anything else, I would favor the total elimination of all ad valorem taxes on automobiles," Spain concluded. Keliey in his letter to Spain wrote: "As you know the present economic conditions have put thousands of automobiles under the shed, because the owner is not able to pay the price required by law for a tag. I believe that more than half our cars in the rural section of my county are not being operated because the owners cannot afford to huy the tag. "If the price of the tag were reduced those cars would be in operation, and, in my opinion, the state would be getting more revenue from the gas tax than It is now getting, taking all in consideration." $60,000 AWARDED Jury Allows Damages To Nurse urday to participate. theatrical stage employes union donated their services.
