Relief Seen as Swollen

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 1s-Flood
conditions abated somewhat today,
but fears continued in certain parts
of the South of inundation from the
streams that are flowing bank high.
Already twelve persons are known
to have been killed in these South
ern storms while property damage
will amount to the millions. Much
of the cotton crop in Georgia. North
Carolina and Virginia has been de-
stroyed.
The greatest danger at present is
at Rutherfordton. N. c.. where more
than 100 men were working on the
sand bank barriers to hold back the
waters. Late advices said there was
no great fear felt. but that many
inhabitants of the district below the
lake we're evacuating, fearing the
dam might give way.s
Returning to NormacX
Through other parts of the South
conditions we're reported returning
to normalcy.
Hurricanes and high waters we're
accountable for most Of the deaths
through the three States. Several
persons we're killed by coming in
contact with live wires.
Today the situation began to ease
somewhat. Asheville, N. c., with
out train service for forty eight
hours, was in touch with outside
communication. Rail traffic into
the city had been suspended-with
the exception of few trains from
the North-for two days.
Georgia Rivers Abating
Rivers in south Georgia we're be-
lieved abating slightly and this led
to the belief that the worst OF the
high water conditions had passed.
Conditions continued serious in
Virginia with rivers reported out
at Lynchburg, Danville, Roanoke
and Bristol. No serious conditions
were reported in any of the cities,
however. The Pamunkey River was
reported overf1owing its banks.
The greatest damage apparently
has been in the Asheville district
wheer it was said the flood losses
might amount to 100000.

HOOVER WILL
TEST ARIZONA
DAM OPINION
Discusses Boulder Project
With State Leaders
Today.
BY PAUL r. MALLON

ABOARD HOOVER SPECIAL
TRAIN NEARING WILLIAMS,
Ariz., Aug. 1S.-Herbert Hoover bade
farewell to his home State of Cali
fornia early today and moved into
Arizona for a round-table discussion
with county chairmen here about his
Endorsement of the Boulder Dam
flood control and power project.
The Republican presidential nomi-
nee expects the chairmen to bring
him the local reaction TO his Los
Angeles speech. for Arizona is as
deeply interested in Boulder Dam
as California, and is on the other
side of the issue.
The fllibuster of Arizona Senators
twice defeated the Johnson Swing
Boulder Dam bill. Arizona wants
the dam built at Black Canyon,
farther up the river, so that she will
get a maximum share of the water
to irrigate her arid lands.
Urges High Dam
Hoover stressed in his speech,
however, the necessity for unified
action on the project. Mindful Of
Arizona's feelings, he urged that
nothing be done which would in
jure the interdependency of all
Colorado River States in the pro-
posed dam.
1--WE indeed want the greatest OF
reservoirs in the Boulder Canyon
with the highest of dams that our
engineers will recommend, and 1
am hopeful that the project will re-
ceive favorable action by the pres
ent Congress" was the way he
phrased his Endorsement, extempor-
izing from his prepared text to the
Los Angeles crowd.
The nominee failed to mention
the Johnson Swing bill by name,
but his declaration for a high dam
embodied the theory of the legisla-
ton because by a high dam power
can be developed.
The unexpected Endorsement was
hailed by the crowd that heard him
and most of the interested prses of
Los Angeles, because the issue is
intensive there, due in part to the
campaign for reelection now being
conducted by Senator Hiram John
son.
Gives Farewell Address
The Senator has been attacking
the so-called power trust and
charging that it sponsored the move
to build only a low dam for flood
control.
When he arrives at the Grand
Canyon after a side trip from Will
liamS with the Arizona chairmen,
Hoover virtually will be in the
middle of the two proposed dam
sites, with Black Canyon to the
northeast and Boulder Dam to the
southwest.
The nominees farewell address to
his home State was delivered at
San Bernardino Friday night after
an intensive day of campaigning
during which he visited six exub-
Grant southern California cities.
There, just as at previous stop
at Pasadena, Hoover voiced his
regret that he had to abandon his
restful vacation at his Palo Alto
home to begin the rigorous duties
of the campaign. Hoover spoke of
the campaign as "a great task" and
promised that it would be conducted
on plane commensurate with the
highest American thought and feel
ing.
Speeches Improve
Hoover made the best extempo-
raneous stump speeches of his early
campaign at the close of his Cali
fornia trip, and the crowd greeted
him more enthusiastically than they
have previously at other points. He
seemed to abandon the shyness
which characterized his previous
addresses.
