TO OKLAHOMA

OKLAHOMA CITY, June ga

North Canadian river rampaging
through South Oklahoma City to-
day, bringing death and suffering.
At least two persons were known
dead. Several were injured. More
than a score were missing.
The national guard, summoned
by Gov. William H. Murray and
Lieut.. Gov. Robert Burns and all
city agencies patroled the area, eX-
tending over more than 10 miles.
Damage to property was esti-
mated at hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars.
Seven inches of rain had fallen
here since 2 g. m. The doWnpour
continued internationally.
Hundreds were marooned in the
Packingtown and Capitol Hill dis
tricts. Firemen, troops and police
in boats piled about in the swelling
current, re5cuing persons clinging
to trees and telephone posts.
East of the capitol building, 66
boys at Taylor school for boys
were marooned. They had no food.
Their plight was desperate.
The Flatbed North Canadian was
out Of its banks from Ell Reno to
Shawnee at mid-morning.
Greeks in this vicinity became
rushing torrents. tearing out
bridges, downing livestock and up
setting houses.
At least 1900 families were made
homeless.
-Four city parks were inundated.
The Lincoln park golf course par
TALLY was washed away. Traffic
other than rail to surrounding
towns was suspended. Railroad
companies reported lines intact.
Troops risked their lives to save
an unidentified motorist east of
here on the Shawnee highway. His
car swept from the flooded high
way the motorist caught hold of a
telephone guy wire and clung there
five hours. Rescuers started in a
roWboat but as they reached him
he lost his hold and was whirled
away.
The rescue boat then overturned
and the would-be be-rescuers, cling
ing to tree tops had not been
reached an hour later. The cur
rent was so strong that rowboats
were useless. Motorboats were sub
stituted.
Two bodies were brought to the
Capitol Hill funeral home. Both
were unidentified. One was that
of 40-year old woman, the other
a 16-year-old girl. Firemen re-
ported a third death.

Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, May 12.-U.P)-A
pronounced movement to lower lev
els broke the stock market stale
mate today and sent number of
important shares into new low
ground.
The downward movement began
early in the session by severe breaks
in some of the leading railroad
shares and quickly spread through
out the list. Toward the close
losses ranged from fractions to
three points in the active shares,
many of them selling within strik-
ing distance of last weeks bear
market lows.
Heaviest selling struck New York
Central, which fell below the S12
level for loss of nearly two points
on host of wild rumors. Selling
in the stock was of a necessitous
character and found little ready
support. Union Pacific, a large
central stockholder, which reduced
its dividend today from Sc annually
was another weak spot, breaking
more than four points to undes 48.
Atchison broke more than three
points to new low at $33 on the
less favorable wheat prospects and
other railroad issues like Nickel
Plate, Northern Pacific, Southern
Pacific Northwestern, Allegheny
corporation and Baltimore and
Ohio sold at their lowest prices in
history on declines of a fraction
to more than point.
Losses in the industrial and util-
ity section were generally impor-
tant, such issues as United States
Steel, American Telephone, Consol-
idated Gas, General Electric and
General Motors selling off any
where from a fraction to several
points.
Closing prices were only fraction
ally above the early lows.
United States government issues
were lower on talk of heavy govern
ment financing in connection with
unemployment relief.
LOS ANGELES, May 12.-U.P)-
Most issues declined fractionally

WYKOFF MAY BE
ABLE TO RUN IN
FRESNO RELAYS
BY NORRIS LEAP
United Press Staff Correspondent

FRESNO, Calf, May 12.-The
lO0-yard dash, the 44O-yard dash,
the pole vault and the mile relay
in the class A competition look to
be the big thrills in the West Coast
relays here next Saturday.
There are good possibilities OF
world records falling in any or all
four of these events, with the
broad jump, the shot put and the
javelin throwing events next in
order for outstanding performances.
The condition of Frank Wykoff's
strained back will govern largely
the chances for records in the Al
relay and the sprint, unless Bullet
Bob" Kiesel should change his mind
between now and Saturday and
show up in the sprint for the Uni
versity of California.
A few days ago Coach Dean
Cromwell OF the University OF
Southern California was quoted as
saying Wykoff might not run here.
but later reports have indicated the
Glendale Flyer" was improving
and would face the starting tape
as scheduled.
If Wykoff does run, then u. S.
G. has an excellent chance to beat
its 440 relay world record time of
40.8 made here last year when Wy
koff was anchor man to Roy Delby,
Milt Maurer and Red Guyer. His
teammates this year would probably
be Delby, Les Ball and Alvin Koe-
mig, all of whom have run the 100
only step or two behind Wykoff.
The mile relay will be somthing
to watch, with the Los Angeles
Athletic club quartet opposed to
Stanford crew that has Blazing
Ben" Eastman and his ability to
step the quarter in world record
time for anchor man. Vic Williams
as the clubs anchor man can give
a race, and with three
men ahead of him who should carry
the baton in the dazzling average
of 485, the club has a better chance
to make mark for the world to
shoot at than has Stanford. Ray
Alf, Jim Gordon and Art Watson
will probably be Williams team
mates in the mile relay.
