DAM BREAK IS PR0BED;
373 BODIES FOUND

Los ANGELES. March 15.-As
daylight broke over the rugged
peaks of Santa Clara Valley today
and 5000 mounted and foot men
resumed their search, the bodies of
twelve additional flood victims were
uncovered, swelling the total to 1873
of known dead and officially miss
ing in the st. Francis Dam break.
How many persisted in the flood
may never be known. Authorities
declared the belief that a countless
number of bodies were swept on into
the sea.
With seven separate investigl-
tons under way to determine what
caused the huge dam across San
Francisquito Canyon to go out,
workers in the flood area today
were confronted by the fourfold
task of:
1. Systematic Identification of the
recovered dead.
2. Rehabilitation of hundreds of
homeless survivors.
