San An tonio. Damage at Kenedy, a town of 5,000, was estimated at $500,000, and at least two deaths were blamed on the floods. Rain Forecast Rain was forecast today for much of the eastern portion of the nation, from the upper Great Lakes area to New England and south through the Carolinas. Scattered show ers and some snow flurries were predicted in the central Rocky Mountains. Cooler weather was looked for from tjie Pacific Coast to the northern Plains and into the central Rockies. Slightly warmer temperatures were expected throughout the mid dle Mississippi Valley and western Ohio Valley north ward to the Canadian border. Rain fell this morning from Lake Erie southward into the central and southern Appala chian Mountains. Amounts of precipitation averaged less than One-tenth ' of one "Inch. Heaviest amounts were .65 of an inch at Palm Beach, Fla., and .32 of an inch at Lexing ton, Ky . Clouds in Northwest Cloudy weather and tem peratures in the 30 to 40 de gree range stretched east from the Mississippi river and over the Pacific Northwest. Temperatures in the Cen tral Plains were in the 60s, with 70 degree readings in Florida and Southern Texas. Highest temperature was 81 at Key West, Fla., and the lowest 20 degrees at Fraser, Colo. EX-UNION OFFICER DIES Kansas City, Kan. (UPII - Charles J. MacGowan, 73, president emeritus of the Boil ermakers Union and vice pres ident of the AFL-CIO, died Wednesday. in the Days News By FRANK JENKINS In these sketchy Chronicles of the Southwest, let's talk about roads today.. I suppose one of the fastest roads in the United States is from Reno t,o Las Vegas. It's fast for two reasons. One is that the people who travel it -the whole distance, that is are in a hurry. It's 459 miles from the gambling and night club metropolis of Northern Nevada to the gambling and night club metropolis of Southern Nevada, and nearly everybody wants to make it in one day. And the night life of Reno is not such as to promote early morning departures. And nobody wants to get into Vegas late. Speed is the answer to the problem. THE other reason is that for the most part the road is straight-especially from Tono- pah on. Speed on this route is : reasonably safe because traffic is light. Add to that the fabulous smoothness of the pavement. There is hardly a bump in the whole 455 miles, Add the further fact that most of the time you can see ahead for 15 or 20 miles and off to one side clear to the foot of the nearest mountain and you can understand why there is little loitering along me way. Besides, Nevada is broad minded about speed, as about many other things. You waste little time looking for traffic cops. The general idea seems to be that whatever your car will do is the speed limit. IF YOU are one of the few who have no Date with Destiny in Las Vegas, you cross the Colorado at Hoover Dam, some 20-odd miles south of Vegas. The dam serves two purposes. It backs up the wa ter in the Colorado, so that power can be extracted from it, and it serves also as a bridge. If you ' are a hard-boiled Republican, you will recall that the dam was projected by the GOP and was named for President Hoover. There came then 1932 and the Roo sevelt administration. FDR changed the- name to Boulder Dam. It stayed Boulder Dam until the Republicans got back into power. They promptly changed : it back to Hoover Dam. , What W'H happen after the election that is due on the 8th of next month remains to be seen. -. . ' TT IS worth recalling that when Hoover Dam was be ing projected Nevada slipped a cog. While it was looking the other way, Arizona and California gobbled most of the power. Worse still, they gob bled the bulk of the WATER. As a' result, Las Vegas is surrounded by a vast and arid plain, whereas it MIGHT have been surrounded by a green and lovely land-for the soil is fertile. . There's a lesson in that for us of the State of Jefferson. When the water is being por tioned out, let's make sure we're not looking tha other way.

Forest Pathologist Ernest Wright and Forest physiolo gist Denis Lavender said that Douglas fir seedlings lifted from the nursery before Nov. 4, 1959, had an average sur vival of only 70 per cent. Seed lings lifted after Dec. 1 had an average survival of 90 per cent, and appeared more vig orous than those of the early liftings. Study is continuous to con firm early findings and to de termine the effect of cold storage on survival and vigor of the seedlings. Two-Week Intervals Seedlings have been lifted at two-week intervals since Aug. 24 from the Oregon for est nursery near Corvallis. Each of the two experimental plantations established by the rehabilitation section of the Oregon state board of forestry receive 100 seedlings from each lifting. The plantations, located in the Tillamook Burn and in the Cascades east of Silverton, have been fenced from deer and protected from other in jurious mammals. Tests at the research center have indicated that vigor in growth of both roots and tops is reduced by early lifting of the seedlings. Growth of shoots in the spring can be de layed by as much as two weeks. : Dr. Wright aiso will study mycorrhizae on roots of seed lings. These fungi aid seed lings in extracting water and nutrients from soil.
