Raging Brush Fire Sweeps

BIZ United Press.
LOS ANGELES, NOV. 1.-The
Malibu Beach homes Of many prom
inent motion picture actors were
threatened today when a brush fire
raced uncontrolled along the sea
coast in a direct line for the exclu-
sive colony.
Only a narrow firebreak, less than
a mile from the front of the blaze,
remained to protect the millions OF
dollars worth of beach estates.
A new force of 100 men was re-
cruited hastily from downtown Los
Angeles and sent to line the fire
break in the new emergency.
Road Closed to Traffic
Even the city of Los Angeles may
be endangered if the flames pass
the firebreak and reach Malibu,
Supervisor John Quinn Of Los
Angeles county, who worked all
night in the front lines, said.
The firebreak is in Renera
Canyon, about ten miles north OF
the movie colony. It became the
last stand of the 1000 fire-fighters
when the fire turned from an
easterly course and started following
the coast line to the south. The
highway was closed to traffic and
steps were taken to protect homes

Ordered to Backfire
Fire officials had hoped the road,
serving as a break, would curb the
fire, but when this failed orders
were issued to backf1eld along the
twenty-nile front.
The second serious fire in south
ern California, burning fiercely near
the Monticello oil fields in Ven
tura county, leaped the Grimes
Canyon road and blew toward Oak
Ridge oil fields, four miles distant.
The Montebello field, surrounded
on three sides, was saved from
serious damage when the blaze
swept away toward Oak Ridge.
