in both the senate and the house were
such that the special message of the
president further outlining his views
as to legislation. which was sent to

Mr.. Curran said in part:
"The newspaper accounts of the

reports were conservative as to the
damage done there. In fact the little
city was almost wiped out of exis-

liberal, but the people of Purvis are
yet in need. In fact they are in sore
