' firemen dropped rope from the
- railroad track above and the two
iwung to the sidewalk railing.
After the storm a rowboat was
launched in tho underpass and
t with the help of a trio of im-
1 promptu swimmers chains were
i hooked onto the cars and a
wrecker pulled them out.
The Esplanade underpass also
was flooded and several cars
i, stalled but a group of children
helped push them out. Other cars
went dead in various parts of
t town as water splashed into their
. motors.
Other shallower lakes devel
! oped all over town, but real
rivers flowed down Main street
and South Sixth street, both full
from doorway to doorway in
places, with merchants hastily
building barricades of sacks,
boxes and rags to keep the flood
out of their stores.
Pedestrian traffic virtually
stopped as intersections and sev
eral stretches of sidewalk be
came impassable but auto traffic
steadily increased as sightseers
made the rounds to view the
flood. By the time the storm had
stopped the downtown streets
were almost a solid mass of slow'
ly moving cars. Damage appear
ed confined mostly to deposits
of mud, and the flooding of base
ments and garages.
Children had their day when
the rain was over. At Martin and
Union streets a group rowed
around over the intersection in
rowboat. At the Main street
underpass, youngsters in bathing
suits Ventured into the edge of
the roily water, and any large
pool had its quota of young
cyclists.
But for motorists it was gravel
and slimy mud. Hot Springs hill
side and other streets fared simi
larly. The California Oregon Power
company blamed lightning for a
general power failure when two
high tension lines went out for
a short time. Two wires blew
together on North Eighth street
and burned in two, and trans
former fuses were blown in other
sections.
The Klamath Heating com
pany plant was forced down at
4 p. m. when lines filled with
water and steam condensed in
the pipes faster than they could
carry it through. Considerable
damage was done by the storm,
company officials stated, and it
will be several weeks before
work is at normal. The plant
dosed for four hours, it was
learned.
The heaviest of the storm
eemed confined to Klamath
Falls, according to reports from
surrounding districts.

allel was to the situation in this
country, Mr. Roosevelt agreed
that it was.
The president said he and
Bcaverbrook had talked about
the general problems of needs
and supplies. Ho said he h a d
told the British supply minister
that he had asked the army and

Senator Johnson (R-Calif .) told

Minister Churchill of Anglo-
American peace aims constituted
"an offensive and defensive al

Johnson made this statement
in a stormy debate precipitated
by a denial by Senator Barkley
of Kentucky, the democratic
leader, that t h e possibility of
sending an American expedition
ary force to help Britain invade
Europe had been "discussed, in
timated or even hinted at" at a

President Asks
Campaign Against
Accident Losses
WASHINGTON. Aug. 19 (P)
President Roosevelt called upon
every American citizen in a proc
lamation today to enlist in a
campaign against accidents and
prevent "wastage of human and
material resources of the na
tion." He asked the National Safety
council to lead a "concerted and
Intensified campaign," since the
nation is confronted with a
"rapidly rising accident toll."
Accidents definitely hinder
the defense effort, the proclama
tion said, by taking a huge toll
in life and property. At the
present rate, Mr. Roosevelt said,
accidental deaths this year will
exceed 100,000.
Traffic accidents alone caused
34,500 deaths last year, he said,
and this year has shown a 17
per cent Increase in such fatalities.
