WORST BLAZE IN HISTORY SWEEPS MEXICO MEETS (Continued tiuui Page One.) the belief they were dead, a 33-year old ranch workman was held by Los Angeles fire department arson In vestigators. He was Identified as David Imet Trewltt, employed on the Trippett ranch In Santa Yn can yon, bordering Topanga. Deputy Sheriff E. H. Carroll said Trewltt told of trying to stamp out the fire, only to have It race over brush lands. The destructlveness of fire near the Pacific was equalled If not ex ceeded by a blaze In the mountains above San Bernardino. 60 miles east of Los Angeles, which razed the $750.- 000 Arrowhead Springs hotel as 40 guests. Including the Rite brothers of comedy fame, reached safety. The Las Casltas night club nearby and more than a score of mountain homes were destroyed, the fire spreading out over 3,600 acres. Fin gers of flame stretched down Water man canyon, while authorities evac uated 200 families from the north district of the city of San Bernar dino. Ashes, am eke and dust covered the region. Thousand Fighters The blaze, witnesses said, started at the very crest of Strawberry peak, ate through timber and brush, leap ed the rim of the World highway and sped down the mountainside. One thousand men, conscripted from WPA lists and private citizenry. feverishly worked on a firebreak to stop the flames from advancing onJ heavily forested Crestline, near Lake Arrowhead. The direction and force of winds today held the answer whether the blaze would be definitely controlled. As the fires at Santa Monica and San Bernardino flared up suddenly yesterday. It seemed as if a plague had struck southern California. A score of separate blazes were fought In four counties. SIX SUFFER BURNS IN TRAILER BLAZE TO CALL SESSION BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 24.

By WILLIAM I. AN PER Vnltert Pre staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY ( UP ) The Mexi can government, in the fourth year of President Lozaro Cardenas' program 6f social and economic readjustment Is struggling to force down the cost of living. This Is the second year of severe depression In Mexico a depression which the opposition blames on Car denas' socialistic measures and which the government blames on past ex ploitation of the nation. Wages have gone up. but the cost of living has gone still higher. A series or crop failures added to the distress. Beans cost four times as much as they did five years ago. Substitutes for food staples have been introduced in many households. But there Is an old proverb that "Mexicans starve slowly." This year , crops are improved. The government , has been importing wheat, beans, and rice and subsidizing the Imports of both beans and rice In an effort to force prices down for the food that the poor man must buy. Hope I: expressed In government quarters that Mexico will not be forced to lm- ' port corn this year. "Times are mighty hard," most Mexicans say. "but we went through worse during the revolution." ( "During one of my campaigns," : Gen. Ramon F. Iturbo recently told this correspondent, "my reglmefit ! went 40 whole days eating only n thinly diluted corn gruel yet they fought and didn't complain. That doesn't happen everywhere." I The wage Increases labor obtained 1 in 1035 and 1936 contributed to In crease commodity prices. This in turn caused real wages to go down. At first this was not notlcrablo. but ! there was a sudden skyrocketing of food prices In 1037. ( Tho Confederation of Mexican Workers at one time threatened to stage a general strike seeking 50 per cent wage Increases to compensate for the new price scales, but the gov ernment persuaded It to dismiss such a thought. , Even the department of education ordered all. teachers to lecture on the "people's struggle against the high cost of living." from tha flaming trailer, was burned about the legs.
