NO EVIDENCE OF SERIOUS DAMAGE
Hurricane Reports From Mexico
 Exaggerated

Mexico City Oct. 1 P,-Notwith- standing alarmist reports published In the newspapers of Mexico City regarding the destruction of two small villages In the state of Vera Cruz during Mondays hurricane, the reports of heavy losses of life seem- .ingIy have been exaggerated.
 A correspondent of the Associated Press who arrived here last night from Vera Cruz travelled within 16 miles Of the villages reported de- stroyed and in the country traversed found no towns or villages where there had been any damage aside from a few matched huts which had been blown over.
 Throughout the tropical belt sugar cane and banana plantations suffer- ed extensive damage from wind and rain. Otherwise observations from the train did not reveal any substan- tial damage.
 The Vera Cruz authorities had re- ceiVed no reports or the destrucuon of any villages when the correspon- dent left Conditions in Vera Cruz city were normal. The business and residential sections presented their usual appearance. Most of the dam age consisted of wooden buildings razed along the waterfront, group of frame houses destroyed, refresh ment stands wrecked and marine coal landing station demaged.
 Some portions of the state of Vera Cruz are still cut off from communi- cation with Vera Cruz city and it is possible that the storm did much damage in them. The best sources of information in Vera Cruz, how ever, were disposed to treat with skepticism reports that large num- bers of persons were dead.

COURT STUDYING
 FEMALE MAKEUP
Mrs, McPherSOn Denies She Used SWitCh-TakeS Down Hair

Los Angeles, Oct. P-Men's testimony intended to define coit- lures and cosmetics, augmented by women's versions of similar subjects has turned the preliminary hearing of Aimee Semple McPherson from channels Of routine documentary evidence 10 a detailed account of ef- fleets produced by various forms of feminine make up.
 Attempts of witnesses to identify the Angelus Temple pastor as a woman who occupied a cottage at Carmel -the-Sea with Kenneth G. Ormiston, former temple radio op- orator, during the time the Evange- list declares she was held for ran som by kidnapers, caused the attor- neys to change the trend of testi- mony yesterday.
 Mrs. McPherson, who for four days heard witnesses attempt to verify charges she conspired to ob struct justice by issuing false state ments regarding her five weeks ab- sence from her temple, yesterday al- lowed her bronze-colored hair to fall about her shoulders to refute dec larations she used switches in ef- fecting changes in appearance. Ankles also have come in for court discussion. Howard Benedict of Carmel testified he noticed the unusually large" ankles of the woman who shared a cottage at the ! Beach City with Ormiston. He said he since had occasion to observe the ankles of Mrs. Lorraine Wisemann- Sielaff, who posed as Ormiston's companion. They were very slim. he testified.
 Further reading of the transcript of Mrs. McPherson's testimony be-
 fore the grand jury yesterday re- vealed that intimations of base motives" for her disappearance had been denied by the Evangelist. She testified before the grand jury that the history Of her case for 12 years back would show such thing "ab- solutely out of the question"
 Yesterdays witnesses included
 John W. Wilson, San Luis Obispo hotel man. Walter S. Lambert, local haberdasher and Wallace Moore, Santa Barbara newspaper man. Wilson identified a page from his hotel registed for May 29 bearing the signature of Frank Gibson and wife" and identified a photograph of Ormiston as the man who had registered.
 Lambert testified that he saw Mrs. McPherson enter a hotel here on the morning of the day she disap- peared and said she was followed by man with limp. Moore told ! of having stopped Ormiston and a heavily yelled woman in an automo- bile near Santa Barbara on the eve
 ming of May 29.
 District Attorney Asa Reyes in-
 vestigators continue attempts to | trace various articles the state
 charges Mrs. McPherson purchased | in coast cities in the hope of dis
 counting her story she spent several weeks in southern Arizona Detec- tives last night said they located an optical store where the Evangelist purchased a pair of heavy spectacles similar to those worn by a woman at Carmel.
 The district attorney indicated further testimony would be intro duced today relative to the appear ance Of Mrs. McPherson on the days she disappeared at Ocean Park beach and as to the clothing worn when she reappeared at Douglas. Ariz.
