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

and believed dead was Fred

covered were Ven Elthe,

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

he'd never get past the door.
He didn't. That's the sort of
drama it was. Predictable.
Corny. Outrageous. Mike had

stood behind him with a gun
and threatened to shoot him
-right in the operating room

Mitchell Plans To
Reveal Statistics
On Steel Strike
Washington-flJPD-Labor Sec
retary James P. 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.

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

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

Democratic - controlled Con

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.

Fire Remains Number 1 Enemy
Of Industrially-Strong America
By ELMER C. ALZER

New York-flJPD - America-

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.

And these estimates, says the

The survey also found that
35 per cent of the plants train
their personnel in fire fight
