Stadelman to Make Determined Effort Collect $40,700 Due Before No vember Is Declaration SALEM, June 14. (AP) Secretary of State P. J. Stadelman Intends to make a determined effort to collect a deficit amounting to $40,700, owed the state police fund by the stat game commission, by November 30, 1034, In addition to the regular monthly payments, It was announced at the state department here. Stadelman declared he discovered the deficit when he became secretary of state on February 8, and that he had immediately notified the game commission It would be expected to meet Its state police obligations promptly. In answer the commission stated this might be Impossible, due to Its poor financial condition. Payment Plan Proposed. The secretary declared he had then worked out a monthly payment plan with members of the commission, which he said, If adhered to, would wipe out the deficit by November 30. Records show that the receipts of the game commission thus far in 1034 exceed those during the same period in 1933, were virtually tne same as during the first five months of 1032, but slightly less than In 1031. George Flagg, deputy secretary or state, discounted a statement that the profitable months for the game com mission for 1034 had passed, stating that "the reports show that the Octo ber receipts of the commission are the largest of the year." Improvements Made. Flagg attributed the present finan cial condition of the commission to "expenditures of approximately $60, 000 by the state game commission In order to obtain federal aid." Most of this money was spent In construc tion of new buildings and other Im provements. Charles P. Pray, superintendent of state police, stated there would be no letup in enforcement of state game laws. He , declared the state police had 30 men in the game division, four less than a year ago, and that in order to enforce the game laws effic iently, that number would have to be retained. Under existing laws Pray draws his allotment from the game commission through the general fund, and this la subsequently collected from the com mission by the secretary of state. PORTLAND.

HURRICANE RESULT L Wholesale Destruction of Life and Property Shown by Air Surveys of Hon duras and El Salvador TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, Jun 14 VP) Stricken Central America re ceived additional reports today of wholesale destruction or life and property In a hurricane which atrucx six days ago. "Ruin, misery, mudl" waa the graphic description of one observer. Plights into the interior of Hon duras and El Salvador revealed that entire villages and many families had been wiped out by devastating floods. The known dead in the two countries was estimated at 3,000, but observers feared the toll was much greater. New Menace Dwindles Weather forecasts said another tropical disturbance to the north which had menaced the coast of Mex ico and Texas in the gulf "apparent ly" was dissipating. A dispatch from the Associated Press correspondent at San Salvador eald victims of the hurricane would probably greatly exceed the 3,000 now listed. Apparently reliable reports, he said, were that the town of Verapaz, lo cated at the foot of the Chlnchot vol. cano, was swept .away by water rush ing down the mountain. Likewise the town of Acajutla was flooded, and great damage wrought. Lack Water Supply Because of the lack of water sup ply, disease was feared in the interior. Heavy rains had lashed the country for nine days. Reports from towns in Honduras indicated the total number of dead might reach 1.000, including the BOO persons drowned when the town of Ocotepeque was wiped out by a flood. An American flier named Shelton, who made an aerial survey over Oco tepeque. said: "The scene that meets the eyes of the survivors la moat grievous. Everywhere are groups of persons, hungry, almost naked, seek ing among the corpses still floating some loved one they will not se again. The church remains standing; all else la ruin, misery mudl" Slides Hit Villages Landslides fell on villages, piling up the frightful damage done by wind and floods, whole plantations, farms, bridges, sections of railroads and cat tle were wiped out. Some damage was wrought in Gua temala, but less than In El Salvador and Honduras. Advices from Tamplco, Mexico, said a gulf storm, greatly diminished in force, struck the Tamaulpias coast. 90 miles to the north, yesterday. The sec tion Is sparsely inhabited. Observatory officials expressed belief damage would be slight. Grants Pass Woman Hurt PORTLAND, Ore., June 14. (AP) Mrs. L. J.
