time out to come to Salem.
Coming in Monday were CaDt

and Cmdr. G. C. Gould, material
and maintenance officer from
Glenview. They were brought
here by Cmdr. J. F. Litsey train
ing officer at Naval Air Station,

Upham's comment before leav
ing Monday morning was that he
felt the taxpayer was getting his
money's worth at the Salem fa
cility, and' probably much more
than at the average installation.
He remarked that the facility
was doing about twice the aver
age of the other setups, consider
ing the number of stationkeep
ers, planes and the physical set
up and then said, "The pilots ap
pear to average as much flying
time as the full time 'Week-End
Warriors."
Cmdr. Gould's comment was
"Wonderful," and he followed
this with the statement that he
was going to try and get the fa
cility mure planus. '
At the lacility Sunday was the
officer from the staff who is in
charge of aviation auxiliary
units, such as Salem has, Lt.

Lt. Rogus after looking around
the facility, said, "It is certainly
a nice little set-up here. It is
like a small air station."
The lieutenant expressed
amazement at the strength of the
units and said that the large
number of enlisted personnel in
the units was amazing to him,
commenting, "I can't get over
it." .

Million Dollar Loss in
Peabocly by Flash Flood
PEABODY. Mass.. un - This in
dustrlal city of 23,000 counted a
loss of millions today as it cleared
debris and fought a health menace
in tne wake of a Hash .flood
caused by a dam burst.
Mayor Philip C. O'Donnell said
the flood waters which raced into
the heart of the city last night
caused what may result In the
heaviest property damage, of any
nonfatal disaster" in-the city's 300
year history. . '
As digging out operations got un
derway, state and local health offi
cials joined to combat the health
problem. J - -
The city's nine schools, with
3,500 children, were ordered closed
for the day. AU rostaurants and
food stores were earmarked for
close, inspections. Cltywide water
tests were scheduled. Police
equipped with loud-speaking sys
tems cruised the streets warning
residents to boil all water used for
drinking or cooking. .
The health menace was in
creased, officials said, by the mix
ture of chemicals from leather
tanneries and ' other Industrial
plants with the flood waters. Hun,
dreds of gallons of gasoline also.
flowed freely as some service sta
tion numps toppled. .
The water surged downhill into
the central business area ot Pea
body Square after ' two one-ton
granite blocks of a dam gave way
at a pond called The Flume about
a mile away. "
It looked like the Mississippi
River flowing in," witnesses on
rooftops said.
Water up to six feet deep flooded
scores 'of buildings, including 75
factories, all the citys main
stores. City Hall, police and fire
headquarters and the historic 150-
year-old South Congregational
Church. Mayor o uonncii sam
some 1,000 leather workers face an
indefinite layoff because of dam
age to tanneries. 1

Chicago Grain
CHICAGO W Old crop soybeans
broke 10 cents, the daily limit, in a
mostly weak grain market on the
board of trade Monday.
May and July soybeans again
were unable to withstand liquida
tion by holders who, in many
cases, bought many months ago
and are now endeavoring to get
out with a profit.
Wheat fell a couple of cents in
response to good rains over much
of the winter wheat belt over the
weekend. Corn acted quite steady
after an early dip while oats and
rye had small price changes.
