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

Unrelenting rain, which had
Ixaten down upon the valleys, the
foothills and the higher moun

rivers, tributaries and creeks
crested out of their banks and
billowed over the lowlanads.
Damage Totalled
Physical damage to crops, live

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

The rains still persisted today
and more were forecast for to-

A new series of active-weather
disturbances was developing be

But even so, there was reason
for the flood victims to be hope-

and virtually all the mountain
snows had already been washed
flown into the valleys.
There was a general slackening

Traders Turn
Restless as
Stocks Vary
NEW YORK. 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.

agent of the company since 1944.
He was traveling passenger and
freight agent in the Willamette
valley and Columbia river terri
tories from 1933 to 1941 when he
was appointed general agent at
Portland.
First entering railroad service
in Minnesota in 1911, Ehlen joined
the SP & S in 1920.

Grain Prices
Fairly Stable
CHICAGO, Nov. 20-(flVA ser
ies of up and down moves in grains
on the Board of Trade today left
prices with little change at the
close.
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.
