TORRENTIAL RAINS
OF
Port Has Rain Average of
231 DaysOut of Year
One of Most Healthful
Cities After Fever Curbed
WASHINGTON. D. C (Spl.) Tor
rential rains are not new to Bahla
(Sao Salvador), Brazil. Rain falls
there on an average of 331 days a
year; but the recent cloudbursts that
brought death to many citizens and
destruction to thousands of dollars
worth of property, caused residents
to peer anxiously into the water
drenched heavens.
"Probably the outstanding calamity
of the downpour was the almost com
plete isolation of the Upper Town,
with Its fine residences, shops, and
schools, from the Lower Town, whose
docks and warehouses furnish the
dally supplies," says a bulletin from
the headquarters of the National
Geographic Society at Washington. D.
C.
Brazil's Third Largest Port
"Bahla Id Brazil's oldest city, and
la outranked only by Rio de Janeiro
and Sao Paulo among Brazilian ports.
It has grown rapidly, increasing Its
population more than a third since
1900. The present population num
bers about 345,000, of which a large
proportion is made up of negroes and
mulattoes.
"In Its development Bahla has lit
erally 'grown up.' Jumping from its
original site along the bay's edge to
the top of the cliff over 300 feet
above, with which it is connected by
elevators and winding roads. On ac
count of this two-story arrangement,
Bahla has been compared to Quebec,
HongKong, and Valparaiso.
"The port is situated on the east
coast of Brazil about 400 miles south
of Pernambuco (Recife), on the Bay
of Bahla. In summer months, the
southern monsoon formerly caused
rough water in the bay, making It
difficult for ships to land their car
provements to the harbor were be
gun. Plans included the building of
breakwaters, quays, and warehouses.
Much of the construction has been
completed, making Bahla one of the
finest ports on the east coast of
South America, and an important
coaling station. Ships skirting the
Brazilian coast, or connecting with
Europe and North America, put In at
Bahla to take on fuel, food, and wa
ter, to replenish their supplies from
the naval arsenal, and for ship re
pairs. Monkeys Imported From India
"In normal times. Bahia's harbor
hums with activity. Ships from many
world ports line up along its quays
to unload flour, salt and manufac
tured goods. Huge movable cranes
swing barrels of wine and tanks of
chemicals from ships into numerous
warehouses, and deposit in empty
holds tobacco, coffee, and sugar.
Chief among exports are black dia
monds, or 'carbonadoes,' which min
ers use in the ends of drills; cacao
beans, a large percentage of which
find their way to American break
fast tables In the form of cocoa; and
navel oranges, whose ancestors were
the forerunners of those now enrich
ing California.
"The bay swarms with small lateen-rigged
boats. From Itaparlca. a
slxteen-mlle-long Island in the bay
near Bahla. come most of the fruits
and vegetables for the city's market.
Luscious oranges and pineapples, gua
vas, and papayas especially tempt
buyers.
"To supervise Bahia's busy com
merce, shipping offices, banks and
consulates are crowded along the nar
row streets of the Lower Town. In
the evening, wealthy merchants leave
these for homes set among spacious
gardens and parks In the breezy Up
per Town. There, beautiful govern
ment buildings remind the visitor
that Bahla Is the present capital of
the State of Bahla, while tlle-decor-ated
residences, resembling those of
Losbon. recall that Bahla was for over
two centuries the Portuguese capital
of Brazil.
"For many years, Bahla was one of
the birthplaces of widespread yellow
fever epidemics in South America.
Today it Is one of the most health
ful tropical cities In the world. It
has a fine medical college and sev
eral hospitals. A force of more than
10.000 men employed to keep yellow
fever under control, maintains con
stant vigilance against the dread
disease, examining cisterns, draining
ditches, experimenting with serums.
Since Brazilian monkeys are Immune
to the fever, monkeys are imported
from India to act as experimental pa
tients. "Bahla is determined to stay
healthful. Approaching vessels are
supposed to indicate their last port
of call, when a vessel falls to answer
the signalled question 'where from.'
especially after any world port has
bren formally quarantined, the cap
tain is given a gentl reminded by
gunfire from one of the forts guard
ing Bahla."

TO MEET IN Ml
TUSSLE THURSDAY
A perfect combination of popular
grapplers for the main event of this
week's wrestling program at the
Armory was announced today by Pro
moter Mack LUlard, who proudly stat
ed that Joe Hubka. whirlwind mat
man from University of Nebraska,
will tangle with Lea Wolfe. Hubka's
only rival in popularity here, for one
hour or two out of three falls.
LUlard made the selection of an
opponent for Wolfe only after careful
consideration, determined to give the
fans the best match of the year.
Wolfe is undoubtedly the beat-liked
muscle-mangier ever to appear In
Medford, and Hubka Is a close second.
Both are clean, scientific and speedy
wrestlers promising a welcome change
from the smear and sneer type of
grprlfrg that has featured the local
cards during the past several months.
The match promises to draw a bevy
of feminine admirers of the handsome
Texan, who formerly attracted as
many women fans here as men.
"Iron Man" Hubka Is equally well
llked and his famous educated legs
are a sou.rce of fireworks in every ap
pearance. Johnny Soos. speedy matman whose
Initial appearance here several weeks
ago still sets well with the fans, will
tangle In the 45 -minute semi-final
with Babe Smollnskl. an aggressive,
capable muscler who Is also remem
bered here as a big-time grappler.
This bout should produce plenty of
action and possibly a good share of
grudge matwork.
Herman Olson, who entered the
recent Los Angeles mat tournament
and is rated among the top grimace
men on the coast, will meet Johnny
McWood, former U. C. L. A. footballer,
in the 30 minute opener. Science
and speed is slated In this portion of
the triple-deck card.

RIGHT WING TALKS
OP KILLING G. 0. P.
TO GET ROOSEVELT
Advocates Coalition Ticket
Grow Louder As Methods
of Defeating F. D. R.
in 1936 Are Discussed
By BYRON PRICE
(Chief of Bureau. Associated Press,
Washington)
Talk of a "coalition ticket" to op
pose Mr. Roosevelt for re-election In
1936 Is prowl ng increasingly preva
lent where conservative politicians
get together.
When the proposal first waa
broached the tendency almost every
where was to dismiss It as fantac
tlc and altogether unattainable aa a
prnctlcnl proposition, however sound
it might appear on paper. Now some
seasoned leaders are not so sure. They
think It might be Just possible.
Nnturally, there are reasons for
this change, however slight it may
be. One reason Is that the idea keeps
cropping up among responsible peo
ple In widely-scattered sections of the
country. Another Is that there are
evidences that a sizeable campaign
cheat might readily be available If
the right sort of ticket were nomin
ated. The present difficulty is that no
one seems to be taking the lead to
wnrd definite organization of senti
ment toward such an end. Without
that, of course, the project scarcely
can be kept alive very long.
New Party Talked
Some Interesting suggestions have
been mndo by those who think the
venture has possibilities.
At present there Is a strong senti
ment among these political pioneers
that It would not be sufficient mere
ly to nominate a conservative demo
crat for president on the republican
ticket;
It Is proposed to go the length of

disbanding the republican party al
together, and calling a convention of
conservatives to form a new party.
A part of the understanding would
be that this new party would nom
inate a democrat for president, and
a republican for vice president, and
pledge that the cabinet would be a
real "coalition" group, chosen from
both the old parties.
One New York banker has made
a unique auggestion for getting away
from the old republican label. He
proposes that the new party adopt in
toto the democratic national plat
form of 1932. with Its pledges of gov
ernmental economy, a balanced bud
get, "sound currency." and so on.
The whole theory behind the move
ment Is, of course, that only a union
of all the conservatives can defeat
Mr. Roosevelt, and that no such
union can be hoped for under tht
republican banner.
Douglas Favored
Lewis Douglas, the budget director
who left the new deal line-up be
cause he thought the administration
was spending too freely, is much fa
vored for first place on such a ticket.
There Is mention also of Senator
Byrd of Virginia, and Senator Bailey
of North Carolina.
Alfred E. Smith Is not so frequent
ly spoken of because one of the prime
suppositions Is that such a party
would depend for support on a com
bination of the east and the south,
and Smith's 1928 record of vote-getting
in the south la well remember
ed. Another assumption by those who
favor the plan Is that Senator Huey
Long will run In 1936 as an inde
pendent, splitting the liberal-radical
vote tn enough states to put the con
servative coalition ticket acrobs.
Whether he actually will do so prob
ably Is not known by anyone except
Long himself.
Such a set-up undoubtedly would
be one of the most interesting, aa
well aa one of the most extraordi
nary, in history. Three democrats,
shading off from deep right to deep
left, would be running against one
another for president.
Obstacles Seen
Of course the obstacles are obvi
ous and they explain why most
politicians still think the Idea only
a dream.
It la hard to visualize the rank and
file of republican politicians giving
up. and conceding there is no repub
lican with a chance to win in 1938
It la still harder to conceive of the
