Red Cross representatives that s
national appeal be made for relief

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

ued looking for bodies of flood
victims.
