Rain, Wind
Damage Crops
(By the Associated Press)
Reports of widespread damage
to crops, utilities and small ma
rine craft continued today as
the Pacific northwest took toll
of three days of wind and heavy
rains.
Marine authorities in Vancou
ver, B. C, reported one gillnet
ter foundered off the mouth of
the Fraser river, the Vancouver
tug C. H. French holed in
grounding near Squirrel cove on
Cortez island, a seiner grounded
in the Fraser river and the
American freighter Patsco
sought assistance when her en
gines broke cjown in the wind
swept Gulf of Georgia. No cas
ualties were reported.
An estimated 1500 to 2000
acres of newly seeded wheat
was washed out in two days
rains in Walla Walla and Co
lumbia counties of Washington.
Along the Cascade mountain
summits, rains turned to snow
with the government camp on
Mount Kood reporting a three
inch fall in four hours last night.
Telephone and power lines
were broken in the area and
highway traffic at the summit
stalled.
Application blanks are ob

Tattoo Solves Case
Of Walla Walla Twins
Walla Walla. Oct. 23 P Ten-month-old
twin girls so iden
tical that even their own par
ents could not tell them apart,
have turned a Walla Walla doc
tor into a modern-day Solomon.
Names of the individuals con
cerned were not revealed.
The doctor, asked by parents
to help them identify the daugh
ters, called in fingerprint ex
perts but prints taken at birth
were not suitable for analysis.
After various tests, the doctor
determined to his own satis
faction at least that the parents
actually had reversed the iden
tity of the twins and were call
ing them by the wrong names.
He simplified future identifi
cation. One of v the girls will
henceforth sit on a tattoo mark.
