HEAVY SNOW IN
MOUNTAIN AREA
OF SOUTHLAND

LOS ANGELES, Dec. IA. (U.P) =
Another storm on the heels of a
cold wave brought heavy SHOWS to
the mountains of Southern Califor-
mia today, and forced the closing
Of the Ridge Route to automobile
travel.
The storm, which began early to-
day, was moving into San Bernar-
dino and San Diego counties at 9
a. m, and was expected to continue
for another "a hours at least.
Far down into foothill communi-
ties a heavy blanket of snow was
reported. Newhall, at the upper end
of the San Fernando valley reported
six inches; five inches was reported
at Palmdale and generally through
the Antelope valley. Snow was fall
ing at Sylmar, OH the outskirts of
San Fernando.
Deputy Sheriff David Croushorn
IN charge of sub-stationS, ordered
Capt. Jeb Stewart Of the Newhall
sub-station to halt all automobiles
attempting to cross the Ridge
route.
Snow plows were dispatched to
the district early today to clear
away an eight-inch fall, but increas-
ing velocity Of the storm made ef-
forts futile.
Searching parties were sent out
from Newhall after reports we're re-
ceived that hay trucks travelling the
Mint Canyon route into Los An
geleS were marooned by the storm.
Hundreds of wild animals, includ-
ing wildcats, lynx and coyotes, were
driven out of the Ridge route hills
in search of food.
Poultry ranches near Newhall re-
ported the marauders made heavy
raids on chicken coops last night.
In Los Angeles, .16 inches of rain
had fallen at $3.50 a. m, bringing
the seasons mark to 3,95 inches.

perature Of 26 degrees was reported

arrived. Smudging had been gen.
eral through the citrus country dur
ing the night, and snow was expect

certain coulSe through congress to-
day with the White House blessing
and hoping. Administration lead
ers predicted its eventual ratifica-
ton, though well aware of a reel
fight.
Chairman Collier of the house
ways and means committee today
introduced the bill prepared by the
treasury to make the moratorium
effective. He called the committee
to meet at 2 p. m. tomorrow to
hear Undersecretary Of the Treas

the administration. Collier said he
hoped the house would complete
action by Saturday.
Meanwhile, the confusion as to
the status of foreign debt pay
ments, due tomorrow in the amount
Of sl24,80000 was cleared up as
far as the administration is con-
cerned.
Mills anr ounced that the state
department would informally ad-
wise foreign governments that they
may pass up the December Is in
stallments, pending final action by
congress, without being subject to
any Just criticism"
Great Britain and Finland are
the only debtor nations which have
made inquiries thus far and the
state department has informed
their ENJOYS of the United Stat S
attitude as outlined by Mills.
Early approval of the morator-

leader, assured Pre- ident Hoover
