Californians Hope End of Flood Near TRESNO, Calif., Nov. 2(HV lUvermen hoped tonight that the worst floods in California's cen tral valleys in a generation were subsiding. - Several thousaand people had 1een chased out of their homes by the raging waters, but some were returning today and were adding CP their , losses. Damage ultimately will be counted in the millions of dollars. . Loss of life was remarkably low -only two directly due to the floods, while 10 or 1Z died as a nnsponpnH nt th attnriin vtorms. - Unrelenting rain, which had Ixaten down upon the valleys, the foothills and the higher moun tains for eight days, stirred nor mally placid streams into tor rents..; ' , - " ., r Tho warm rain -wiped-iut . the nowpack in. the high Sierxa, send ing ; the snow waters cascading 4own mountain canyons. ' where the American river was on ' rampage, south to the Kern which passes through Bakers field, rivers, tributaries and creeks crested out of their banks and billowed over the lowlanads. Damage Totalled Physical damage to crops, live tnrk. farmlands s fitiUrffn tr bridges and highways may run between $10,000,000 and $15,000, 000. Pacific Gas & Electric Co. said five of its hydro-electric power plants were out of service because debris either choked intakes to the powerhouse, flooded generat tag plants, or wrecked dams. The $200,000 state fish hatchery n the Kern river was demolished. Between 75,000 and 100,000 fat turkeys, just ready for the Thanksgiving market, drowned in the Centerville area in Fresno eounty. . . The rains still persisted today and more were forecast for to- -morrow. Ko Permanent Clearug The weather bureau comment ed there may be temporary breaks in the storm, but no per manent clearing is seen at the present tune."L ' A new series of active-weather disturbances was developing be tween Hawaii and San Francisco. the weather service said. These storms were moving upon Cali fornia. But even so, there was reason for the flood victims to be hope- zui tnat the worst was over. . ine weatner continued warm. and virtually all the mountain snows had already been washed flown into the valleys. There was a general slackening off in' the flood stage at all river checking points. About 700 residents of suburban Sacramento fled their homes as the American river rose. Some 300 homes and 150 house trailers wero damaged.. - Y Older Boys Elect Officers John Bone of Salem was elected president of the older boys con ference which concluded in Sa lem Sunday under sponsorship of the YMCA and Hi-Y clubs.

Nov. 20-vP)-Trad- ers turned restless today and stocks produced one of the most uneven performances in weeks. Prices flipflopped so often from the gain to the loss column and back again that trends were to tally obscured at the close and plus and minus signs were com pletely mixed up. A good showing by oil. Dunging material and some rail and chem ical stocks was partially offset by weakness in auto, radio-television and rubber issues. Gains ranged up to $1.90 share, with a very few Issues doing even better; some losses ran to nearly S2 a share. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks, after ramming to a new 20-year high Saturday at the end of a week of almost steady rise, was forced down 10 cents to $84.90 a share. On the other hand, 504 of the 1,134 separate issues traded were gainers, while only 360 lost ground. And, since the market has had more than a tingle of bullishness for the oast several weeks. 107 stocks climbed to new 1950 highs. while one solitary issue dropped to a new low. Trading totaled 2.250.000 shares, second highest figure for any day this month. SP&S Promotes George F, Elilen George F. Ehlen, long-time rail road man well known to Salem shippers, Monday was appointed assistant freight traffic manager of the Spokane, Portland and Seat tle railway.

Everything firmed in early deal ings, soybeans and oats putting on the best display. All bean contracts and all oats except July made new seasonal highs. But beans ended more than 3 cents below those early peaks while oats were down more than a cent from their highs. Wheat closed - lower than Saturday's finish, corn lower to higher, oats lower to higher, rye -T lower, soybeans 1 higher and lard unchanged to 5 cents a hundred pounds lower, The early strength mystified some of the local analysts, who couldn't find any reason for it. News from the Korean front was. if anything, bearish on prices. Traders felt the early bulge was a reflection of firmness in cotton and stocks more than anything else. ElfrT lvm,.. wim 0.
