Mar. 17 (AP) The Job of repairing the havoc spread by the breaking o the St. Francis dam today had been hoisted by the city of Los Angeles-unofficlally at least onto Its own shoulders. Mayor George Cryer. acknow led ring the city's "moral respon sibility" told a conference of city councilmen and of glials: "We cannot restore the' lives that have been lost. But we can and will make amends for the property damage that has been wrought." The mayor and city offlciak turned down the suggestion of Red Cross representatives that s national appeal be made for relief funds for the flood torn San Fran- cisquito canyon and Santa Clara river valley. "I feel." the mayor said, "that Los Angeles Is perfectly capable , of handling the situation. Cer tainly we can devtee ways and meau of providing the necessary funds." An almost military organisation with tractors and steam shovelt acting as the tanks and heavy ar tlllery and a thonsand volunteer searchers as the army has contln ued looking for bodies of flood victims. The latest check of all sources by newspapers, last nlgbt showed 243 bodies recovered. X09 of these having been identified and 34 un identified. At Santa Paula preparations are under way for a public funeral Monday for the flood victim. In other communities. Fillmore, Ox nard. Moorpark. Pirn and Ventura plans are belBg made for similar sevlces. An Indirect victim this one of the air was added to the toll of the broken dam yesterday when wreckage of an airplane missing since Tuesday when It took off on a survey of the flood area, wae found. The plane was sighted on the highest peak of Olive View ten miles from Newhall by one of the searching planes. A rescue party despatched to the scene found the pilot. C. W. English, of Santa Monica. Cal., dead In the recovered plane. The passenger, Bert Baugh, had a broken leg and was carried to a hospital. PISS Ml BILL Lower House of Congress Sends Much Discussed Bill On To Senate SAULT ST.

Homer Galpin, chairman, and Charles V.

Anew world's record of 1,4 43 consecutive loops in an air plane was established h day by Charles (Speed) Holman of Minneapolis, beating the for mer mark by more than 300. The old figure was 1111 loops, established In France by A. Fron val. It wae tbe second time In recent weeks that Holman had bettered the record. Gene Shank of St. Paul set a mark of more than 500 which was beaten by Holman with 1093 twirls. Then came the 1111 loops by Fronval which Holman surpassed today. Holman ascended shortly after noon and remained In the air five hours. He carried 97 gallon of gasoline which had been exhaust ed when he landed. the Colonials score an other field goal and the score was 21 to 20 for Medford. Lewis, ankv Portland center scores on a 'ree throw and field goal giving hem a two point lead. With only few seconds left to play, time was called as Morgan of Medford was injured. With only a few seconds left to play before the final whistle, and tha crowd rolng wild. Melvln. who consistently scored for the losers, looped a field goal to tie the score 23 all a the final gun went off. Two three minute overtime per iods were necessary to determine he winner. During th first period no team scored, each fine shooting long shots, hoping that they could take th lead and stall until tbe final gun. During the second over time period, the cool headed Wash ington forward, Dolp, tossed In the counter which broke the tie, and Inman added another, giving them x good four point lead. In spite of their lead, the state champion played ball through until the last second of play, and did not try to stall. With only a two point lead, they shot from mldfloor, which usually resulted in Medford taking the ball. All during this time the crowd was on edge, booing, root ing and acting like maniacs last night. He also won forward position on the all state second team. The lowest score that he made In any game was 9 points which occurred in the Salem mix last night, having scored from 16 to 28 in all other contests. He also appeared to be a favorite among the spectators, and was dead on long shots from the cen ter of the floor. Edward Lewis, who was the tall est center In the tournament, measuring 6 feet and 5 Inches. winner of the first team all state selection, was second high point man in the tourney. Lewis scored 14 points against University high of Eugene. 16 against Marshfield, and 7 against Medford, netting' him 36 points.

He also holds the honor of being the high noint man in any one tilt during the tourna ment, scoring 19 markers in the The Dalles-McLoughlln contest. He won honorable mention. Axvola. Astoria, one of the sneediest and shiftiest forwards In the tournament, was fourth high in the scoring column, with 25 points.
