Fourth Vocftom off FDasDi IFflood Sought Needles, Calif. -dTB- Rescu ers searched today for the 'feared fourth victim of a flash-flood which tossed autos off the highway like toys and stranded some 500 motorists jfor 12 hours. Three bodies already have been found and the fourth is jfeared buried under several ;feet of sand carried by the churning 15-foot crests of wa iter which roared down desert 'washes following a cloud-burst. jCling to Bridge ; The four men were part of a railroad crew of six work ,ers whose truck was swept ;away by the flood as they drove to repair torn up track. The two other men escaped by clinging to a bridge. Eight other persons also re ported their cars were swept off U. S. Highways 66 and 95 by the flood, but all escaped Injury. The two highways were impassable for up to 12 hours after the flash-flood struck late Monday and early Tuesday.

Nonsurgical Method Cues Hemorrhoids Painlessly A relatively painless, non surgical method of treating hemorrhoids (piles) is work ing therapeutic miracles for thousands who suffer from rectal and colon disorders. A recently developed elec tronic treatment is proving more effective than surgery, with none of the after effects of surgery. The treatment requires no Advertisement WodnesaV, Aug. 19, 1959 railroads in adjacent areas washed out. Rail travel was rerouted around the area and was run ning up to 14 hours behind schedule. Only one inch of rain was recorded in the three-hour storm which hit first in the mountains above the highway, but it sent an avalanche of water down the parched earth which dug up railroad tracks and highways and flowed through an area including Kingman, Ariz., to the east and Essex, Calif., to the west. The same storm felled an estimated 100 telephone poles in the Las Vegas, Nev., area. Same small businesses were flooded here but the water had run off by midday Tues day. Identity of the man sought and believed dead was Fred Atne. The three victims re covered were Ven Elthe, Francis Yazzi and Charles Sanchez. Sanchez' body had been swept 12 miles by the torrent. The only parts of his clothing remaining on his body when he was found were his shoes and socks. Show Hailed by Critic who put the show together. They've a respect for taste and a superb ability to ex press it. And, man, are they making everything else look shabby this summer. Keith Andes, as beloved "Dr. Mike," tried to leave the hospital for a hard-earned round of golf on CBS-TV's Adventure Showcase rerun and, somehow, I suspected he'd never get past the door. He didn't. That's the sort of drama it was. Predictable. Corny. Outrageous. Mike had to operate on a dying woman while her crazed husband stood behind him with a gun and threatened to shoot him -right in the operating room if the patient conked out. I just hope Dr. Mike's needle work didn't show as many loose ends as the script did. Only one laugh in this show: A "tired blood commercial led into the scene where the patient is wheeled into sur gery. ' Court Records DISTRICT COURT William Clyde, violation of basic rule. $15.

Mitchel makes public tonight statistics he hopes wil speed up settle ment of the 35-day-old steel strike. It will be the closest an administration official has come to becoming involved in the strike, but Mitchell said his report was "not intended as intervention." President Eisenhower Tues day ordered Mitchell to make public the statistics on wages, prices, productivity and prof its to clarify facts that have been released by both parties. The data will be given newsmen this afternoon for release tonight. In New York, Chief Fed eral Mediator Joseph F. Fin- negan said the outlook for settling the strike was "dis tinctly gloomy." Finnegan scheduled a meet ing this morning with United Steelworkers President David J. McDonald, who walked out on the talks 12 days ago be cause of lack of progress, and a meeting with chief industry negotiator R. Conrad Cooper in the afternoon. Other nego tiators meanwhile were to hold another formal meeting today. Mitchell said the volumi nous facts collected by him as a one-man presidential fact finder would not contain any suggestion on whether the in dustry could grant a wage in crease without raising steel prices. He said it would be up to the public to decide whether the statistics favor industry or the striking steelworkers. The strike has idled 500,000 steelworkers and caused at least 100,000 other layoffs. Ex-Child 3tar Hurt in Crash West Los Angeles, Calif.- (UPD Scotty Beckett, trouble- plagued former child star of "Our Gang" comedies and other films, suffered a broken hip and a possible head frac ture Tuesday night when he smashed his auto into a tree. The 29-year-old former ac tor, now working as a car salesman, was driving about 65 miles an hour when he ap parently lost control of the vehicle, veered off the road, grazing one tree and crashing into another, according to of ficers C. E. Gourlay and P. C. Weir. Beckett, who was alone in the auto, was taken to UCLA Medical Center where his con dition was described as satis factory. Only last Friday he was ar rested on suspicion of pos sessing narcotics, but was re leased 12 hours later when the city attorney refused to file a complaint. His arrest came when police found four benzedrine pills in his coat being worn by a friend.

Attack on District Brings Replies from Senators, Attorney Mrs. Ann Todd's latest at tack upon the Eagle Point Ir rigation district and the Cali fornia Oregon Power com pany has reportedly brought responses from Oregon's two senators and the U.S. attorney for this state. Mrs. Todd, a district water user, wrote to U. S. Attorney Edward C. E. Luckey in Port 1 a n d Aug. 1 questioning whether federal disaster re lief funds paid after the 1955 56 floods did not benefit Cop co rather than the district. Under federal law, it is un derstood, the funds were available to state or local gov ernments, not private corpo rations. The funds were re portedly paid to the district. But, since Copco had contract ed with the district to main tain the main canal at its own expense, Mrs. Todd alleges that Copco, not the district, Gas Pipeline Hearing Slated Salem (UPD The Federal power Commission has set Oct. 15 as the date for a hear ing on an application of Pa cific Gas Transmission com pany to build a $129,588,000 natural gas pipeline from the Canadian border across three northwest states to California. Public Utility Commission er Jonel C. Hill, who inter viewed on behalf of the state in the case last March, said the hearing would be held in Washington, D.C. Under the proposal, Pacific, which is a wholly-owned sub sidiary of Pacific Gas and Electric, would build approxi mately 614 miles of 36-inch transmission pipeline from near Kingsgate, British Co lumbia, through the panhan dle of Idaho, across part of Washington and Oregon-to a point on the California-Oregon border near Klamath Falls. "We have filed notice to intervene in the matter, and will participate in the pro ceedings to adequately protect the interests of the people of Oregon," Hill said. The gas would be imported from fields located in Alber ta, Canada. Artificial Cloud Attempt Failure Washington-dJPD-A malfunc tion in the second stage of a Nike-Asp rocket was blamed today for a failure of an at tempt to place a second glow ing artificial cloud into the skies' above the east coast. The two-stage rocket used for the experiment designed to test wind velocities in the near vacuum of space was launched Tuesd-y night from Wallops Island, Va. But the 27-foot rocket, which placed an artificial so dium cloud in the skies Mon day morning, apparently fail ed to reach the height neces sary for its chemical payload to spew out and reflect Sunlight. benefited from the federal aid for repairing the canal. Decline Comment Attorneys for the district and Copco have declined to comment on Mrs. Todd's let ter. ' Mrs. Todd has reported re ceiving replies to her letter to Luckey from Sens. Wayne Morse and Richard Neuber ger, Oregon's Democratic sen ators, to whom she sent copies. She quoted Morse as saying he was checking into the matter personally. I agree with you," Neu- berger was quoted as saying, "that the situation would ap pear to merit his (Luckey's) attention "I am asking the appropri ate federal agency to look into this matter. . "You are indeed a conscien tious citizen, and deserve commendation for the inves tigation you have accom plished." Letter Appreciated "Your very carefully com piled letter is much appreciat ed," Luckey replied. "It may be that it is appropriate for investigation of either the general accounting office, the federal bureau of investiga tion or some other investiga tive agency. For that deter mination it has been sent to the department of justice in Washington, D.C. Luckey added, however, that since the funds were dis bursed through the state of Oregon, .there might be some question of whether the fed eral government would have jurisdiction. Mrs. Todd previously had launched court action against irrigation district officials on other counts, and has initiat ed one suit challenging the validity of the district's agree ment with Copco which con tains the main canal mainte nance provision. Housing Conflict Shifts To House Washington -(UPD-The deep ening conflict between the Democratic - controlled Con gress and President Eisen hower over housing legislation shifted today to the House. The Senate late Tuesday passed a $1,050,000,000 hous ing bill despite Republican warnings that President Eis enhower may veto it just as he did an earlier, more costly measure. The vote was 71-24 Democratic leaders in the House expressed general sat isfaction with the Senate measure and indicated it prob ably would be approved sub stantially as it arrived. The measure is not expected to reach the House floor, how ever, until next week at the earliest. The bill, among other things, would reduce down payments on FHA - insured mortgages exceeding $13,500 and continue the FHA home improvement loan program.

ALZER UPI Financial Editor New York-flJPD - America- strong industrially as well as militarily-has an enemy at home it just hasn't been able to lick. That enemy is fire which last year cost 7, 000 lives and more than $1 billion in prop erty damage. Architectur- er wirer al Forum finds that there is no such thing as a fireproof building. Matthew Braidech, research director of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, says "no material is totally immune to fire." Hazards Magazine, publish ed by Industrial Publishing Corp. of Cleveland, finds a new hazard in industrial plants namely in the many built in suburban communities were fire protection is inad equate. ' The Forum says " we are building "pretty" firetraps or "firetraps modern." In the fu ture, it adds, "architects will design for fire safety, that is, buildings will still be vulner able to fire, but will be better designed for rapid exit and better equipped for early de tection." Depend on Other Cities Hazards points out that too often the communities in which new plants are being built depend on other com munities miles away for fire protection. It finds that industrial fires totaled 38,000 in 1954 with $150 million in losses and 41,000 in 1957 with losses of $230 million. "Fire is still the number one threat to industry,'.' Haz ards says, and industry is not doing enough about it. UNIONIST'S WIFE DIES New York -0JPD- Mrs. Mich ael J.

It means that circu lation so identified is measured according to the rules and standards of the Audit Bureau of Circulations The A.B.C. is a cooperative and non-profit association of 3,450 publishers, advertisers and advertising agencies. Organized in 1914, these buyers and sellers of advertising brought order out of advertising chaos by setting up standards for paid circulation and establishing rules and methods for measuring, auditing and report ing circulations. Therefore, the work of the A.B.C., of which this newspaper is proud to In its survey of hundreds of plants, Hazards found only 38 per cent reported fire fight ing equipment could arrive within five to ten minutes. And these estimates, says the magazine, were under optim um conditions. The survey also found that 35 per cent of the plants train their personnel in fire fight ing techniques less than one hour a month. Another 16 per cent have only an indefinite amount of training time. Five per cent state they have no formal training. Also, plants pass on little in formation to municipal fire de partments on specific prob lems which might be encount ered in fires such as reaction of water with their products, and if they are using such things as radio-active isotopes in their laboratories. Plant Firemen Needed The magazine stresses the need of well-organized and well-equipped fire brigades within industrial plants wheth er volunteers or paid. It re ports some progress in equip ment but notes it is not being added at a rate commensurate with the number of fires and the attedant dollar loss. The Forum lists many de (ma (mmMm 1 mm" L. J.
