of the branch, said the staff was
crippled severely, but that all factl-

able to the government and public

1.-THE hurricane struck with ter

describing the wrecking Of the cap
ital. 1.-THE first blow was for about
three hours and then there was a
lull of fifteen minutes in which the
sun lit the sky brightly and thou
sands of persons rushed from their
darkened homes into the streets
only to be caught by the full force
of the second blow which came from
the opposite direction and lasted
two hours.

by a violent electrical storm-lasted

appeared to me that the Gascue resS

"The San Carlos, Barahona and
Pajarito districts of the city were
practically obliterated. In the city
proper no building escaped damage
except a few of the sturdy old ones

Bradford was located in Chicago

u. S. REPORTS
State Needs $1,000 Tons
of Hay to Sustain Stock
Over Winter.
PREDICT CREDIT PINCH
Southern Counties Will Pro-
duce Less Than Third
of Feed Supply.
BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
Times STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Indiana,
will not produce enough feed grains
to supply her own livestock this
winter, according to a special gov
eminent report on drought cordi-
tons made public today.
Half a dozen southern counties
will produce less than one-third of
their normal supply of livestock
feeds and the entire southern half
of the state only about so per cent
of the normal harvest. Indiana. as
a whole, will produce only about
IS per cent of her own stock re-
quirements.
If machinery can be set up to
insure the even distribution of the
states feed stocks over the entire
commonwealth, Indiana will need
TO buy from other states only about
$4,000 tons of hay to sustain her
stock through the winter. But
there will be a severe pinch where
credit is tight.
Indiana Does Nothing
In reporting these facts today,
the special drought commission, set
up last month by President Hoover,
said that indiana probably will have
only about 900, 900 bushels of corn
above feed requirements.
ATAI.A.r1l- HE - 1Ar,f tAA
normal feed requirements now arc
visible in the state. the emergency
reports emphasizes that only the
immediate arrangements of credit
machinery to facilitate easy dis
tr1bution of extra supplies in the
more severely damaged regions can
prevent acute suffering and heavy
losses through forced sale of live
stock under the most u%nfavorable
marketing conditions.
In this respect. Indiana has &C
Uomplished practically nothing since
the executives from the twenty-eight
drought stricken states met with
President Hoover here three weeks
ago.
HaS Ndffy-OYer IN NneaJ
In relation to her livestock popu-
lation as recorded in the department
of agriculture, Indiana will harvest
this year only 1890 pounds of feed
grain per animal unit, against a
fve-year average of 1870 pounds.
The prospective hay crop of the
state is placed at $50 pounds Of corn
equivalent, against a %1ve-year av-
erage of 80 pounds.
To offset this condition however,
the state has a carry-over wheat
supply, equal to 48O pounds of corn
equivalent per animal unit, which
brings the total visible supplies for
the state up to 1850 pounds OF
corn equivalent this year, against an
average annual consumption of
4,78O pounds in the period of
1858.
Only 255 Carloads Shipped
I'm to wednesday of this week, ac-
cording to figures of the American
Railway Association, only 285 car
loads of emergency food supplies
had been shipped into Indiana under
the special reduced rates established
last month. Hay and mill feeds
made up 90 per cent of the ship
ments.
A factor favoring Indiana farm
ers is that Illinois will have about
26000.0 900 bushels Of corn over her
normal requirements to supply de-
~fciencies in other states.
This will mean short haul on

quarters, headquarters and flanks
of the city government.
Massed in SERTED ranks-more
rank than ever-they rushed wildly
across the whole City Hall Park,
clearing the astounded populace
from the vast square, and blocking
all entrance lest the sight of one
unemployed worker horrify Jimmie
Walker into complete sobriety.
For an hour they held the fort,
while the wondering New Workers
collected in thousands specializing as
to what the police were up to. But
the police never laugh at anything,
though the whole world may laugh
at the police. They knew their bust
ness, they did! They were awaiting
"red rumors." But no marchers
marched.
So looking around their coat tails,
they discovered something. A City
Council meeting was due, and three,
count 'em: One, two, three unem-
ployed workers had evidently thought
to attain by guile what had long
been denied. Three comrades had
actually gotten into the public gal
lery of the Council Chamber, and
they really had some leaflets. The
miscrants probably intended to
throw them in paper wads at the be-
diamond wardheelers that go under
the alias of city councilmen.
All, ha! They were seized! They
were questioned! Where was the
army? Who had concealed the So
viets? Who is that guy named
Pravda?
But, alas, there was no Soviets
marching that day, in spite of the
tip given by Matte Woll, though
the Three Comrades told them all
about the big demonstration at
Union Square, at p. M, on Thurs
day, and invited all the "gentle, good
natured police" to strike that day.
So the Three Comrades ran along
home and the show was over.

The main reason for the bureau
