Atlantic Lashed by 261 Hurricanes in 68 Years Washington The storm gods of the North Atlantic have hatch ed 261 hurricanes in the last 68 Jpars. Two made weather history in 1955. Connie, th tropical tempest that sirlid up from the hurri cane breeding area around the Carflean Sea and battened down the United States east coast recently, was preceded this year by Alice. Alice, which swept across the Caribbean, was remarkable in one respect. It was the first January hurricane marked on United States Weather Bureau books. Very few have ever, been reported; the first was noted by an earnest weather observer, Columbus. Blew Ilself Out . Alice was followed by Brenda. This gale generated power south of the Mississippi River, mouth on July 31 and blew itself out over Louisiana and Missis sippi in three days. It didn't . quite work up a hurricane head of steam, which must be winds of 73 miles per hour or more. From 1887 through August 10, 1955, the weather bureau has recorded hurricanes by months: one in January; one in May; 11 in June; 15 in July; 62 in Au gust; 109 in September; 53 in October; eight in November; and one in December. Most petered out at sea. When they hit the United States their target was most often south Florida or" the western Gulf coast. Along the Atlantic shore the frequency rate diminishes with the distance northward. The names of this year's crop were picked from a list of pre viously accepted terms, all short and easily understood. As they occur, the storms take their tags in alphabetical order.. Thus Alice came first, then Brenda, then Connie, with Diane and Edith in store for those that "follow. Next year names will start at the beginning of the alphabet again, but there will be another set. There won't be any more Alices, or Brendas, or Connies. Few if any hurricanes mael stroms of shattering wind and rain spinning like a top have been more methodically tracked than 1955's. At least two flights a day one by the Air Force and one by the Navy kept a weather eye on the movements of Con nie. When the fickle lady daw dled 225 miles southeast of Myrtle Beach, S. C, gyrating crazily but making headway of only 25 miles in 10 hours, me teorologists were able to trace its every antic, thanks to radar equipped planes. Still a Mystery Much remains to be known about hurricanes. But observa tion of these land - flooding, house-scalping, tree-snapping and often man-killing storms has now come of age. This happened when radar sharpened the eyes of the airplane. Hurricane winds still pack the same punch they always did. A big blow works up more energy than hundreds of atom bombs all exploding at once. In the form of water vapor t lifts two billion tons of water and dumps this titanic load as rain within 1 24 hours. Nature in the raw is seldom as impressive or as frightening. Even so, man has learned to roll with the hurricane punch. In 1928 before the day of a full- fledged warning system, a wall of water killed 1,836 persons. Twenty-one years later a similar hurricane over virtually the same path left a toll of only two.

Mall and Sutler Optimistic on To Capture Presidency in '56 Washington (U.R) Repub lican National Chairman Leon ard W. Hall predicted today that the GOP would win next year's presidential election because Americans want continued "peace, prosperity and progress." He said the record of Presi dent .Eisenhower "is the plat form on which we will cam paign. . . " Democratic National Chair man Paul M. Butler was just as optimistic about his party's chances of winning in 1956. ; Butler said he was convinced after a trip through Southern states that the Democrats would win back the Solid South next year and elect the next presi dent. - Solid Accomplishments Hall, in a speech to Republi can Women of Pennsylvania, Inc., at Philadelphia, told his lis teners "to drive home . . . the solid accomplishments of this Republican administration." He said the GOP's "most im portant achievement is that our nation is at peace." He said the GOP had ended the "stale mated" war in Korea and made "other vital contributions to world peace and security." Other GOP "achievements" Hall cites to the GOP women as 1956 selling points for the party included: Building a powerful defense force; establishing "a strong and sound economy;" record break ing employment and wages; re placing "the trend toward so cialism with an individual in centive economy, and increasJ ing welfare services. Peace With Prosperity Hall said the Republican party represents prosperity with peace.

The GOP chairman made no mention of possible candidates for the Republican nomination next year. But, he told the GOP women, "I know you join with me in rejoicing at the continuing good news from Denver . . ." He said the Eisenhower ad ministration has appointed an all-time high of 94 women to various posts. Butler predicted that the Democrats would win back Texas, Tennessee, Florida, and Virginia, which went for Presi dent Eisenhower in 1952. "I'm satisfied that we're go ing to carry- every one of those states in '56," Butler said. Butler predicted that the Dem ocrats would win the White House next year with "whom ever we 'nominate." Open Convention But he refused to discuss the convention chances of Adlai E. Stevenson, Gov. Averell Harri man of New York, Sen Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) or any other prospective Democratic nomin ees. He predicted a ''free and open" convention. Butler said adoption of a pro posed new rule, drawn up by an advisory committee on rules for the 1956 convention, "will eliminate any necessity for any discussion of the loyalty oath in the '56 convention . . ." On the Republican side, Har old E. Stassen said "I do not consider myself a candidate" for the GOP presidential nomina tion. Last week Stassen issued a statement indicating he would run if President Eisenhower de cided not to seek reelection. ; Stassen also discounted Demo cratic talk of a possible split in GOP ranks if Mr. Eisenhower does not run again. He said he does not "anticipate any change in administrations" as a result of next year's election. Meantime, Joseph L. Rauh Jr., national chairman of Americans for Democratic Action, said the "independent voter will never swallow Vice-President Nixon" and urged the GOP to "drop" Nixon. Rauh charged that conserva tive Republicans are trying to "clean up" Nixon for the GOP presidential nomination. Rauh said Chief Justice Earl Warren and Dr. Milton . Eisen hower, the President's brother, are unacceptable to many, pow erful Republicans and "this dilemma is the strength of Rich ard Nixon." From Denver, White House Press Secretary James C. Hag erty said Mr. Eisenhower ' has given him no word on 1956 although' he has promised that Hagerty will be the first to know about his intentions. Chances Election Attacks on the GOP farm poli cy were renewed by Democratic Sens. Paul H. Douglas (111.) and Wayne L. Morse (Ore.). They accused Agriculture ' Secretary Ezra T. Benson of trying to pit farmerst against industrial work ers "on the principle of divide and conquer." Jackson Counlians Win At Exposition Joan Dobrot of Central Point and Suzanne Palm and Joe Ann Malloroy of Eagle Point won the home economics judging over 39 other teams at the Pacific In ternational Livestock exposition in Portland. It was their first trip to the exposition, in which 117 other judges competed in the home economics contest. Suzanne Palm finished fifth in individual judging with Jo Ann Malloroy sixth and Joan Dobrot seventh. In the exposition's wool show, four Applegate 4-H'ers placed exhibits in the quarter-blood division. Exhibits by Russell El more placed fourth Michael El more, sixth; Truman Elmore, seventh; and Francis Krouse, eighth.

Reno, 27," admitted killing Mrs. Stella Reno, 34, and knif ing his father, Andrew Reno, 57, after a violent family argument last Wednesday night. "I hated her guts," Reno told police. Dr. L. D. Nelson, Truckee, Calif., physician who conducted an autopsy on Mrs. Reno, said "from" appearance it is quite likely she was assaulted sexual ly, but tests are still inconclu sive." Reno told Los Angeles Detec tives Edward C. Kruger and C. C. Forbes that after strangling his stepmother, he placed her body in the trunk of his car and headed for Nevada. He was ar rested in Reno Thursday night. Friday night he led police to a concrete catch-all box built in front of a culvert where he had placed the body. The culvert was off U. S. Highway 40 about 25 miles west of Reno. The Inner Gorge of the Colo rado River in the Grand Canyon is cut through dark Pre-Cam-brian rocks formed some 1,500, 000,000 years ago. .
