Eastern Fears StiIIed


NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Scientists,
architects and engineers stilled the
earthquake fears of the East today.
The mighty towers of New York,
Chicago, Boston and other cities
would easily withstand worse quakes
than the world ever has known, they
said.
Damage in the II states that felt
yesterdays quake was slight, but
great public interest was evinced in
the probable effect of a major
tremor.
According to Gilman Hermann
Amman, chief engineer of the Port
of New York Authority, the Holland
Tunnel, the Midtown Hudson tun-
mel, the George Washington bridge,
and the Tri-Borough Bridge in New
York are all flexible enough to
Withstand any shock.
While admitting a real danger ex-
listed in tenement buildings of old
and wooden construction, all
authorities agreed the modern sky
scraper would weather the worst
shocks easily because of steel and
concrete skeleton.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. o
Floating dynamite and a derelict

imperiled San Francisco's marine
commerce today as a raging wind

central California.
While coast guard and harbor off,

dynamite, the steel barge, buffeted
wildly by the storm, constituted a
menace to shipping.
The San Francisco Coast Guard
broadcast warning to all ships and
land stations that the steel barge
torn from its mooring at the Har-
Dor Tug and Barge Co. terminal
was abroad, unnamed and with
out lights, in the bay.

Thirteen men aboard were res
cued by the Coast Guard cutters
Shoshone and Gabiote.. Coast
guardsmen then got line aboard
the derelict magazine and towed it
to its moorings, headquarters re-
ported.
Meanwhile winter dashed the coast
from Mexico to Canada.
On land a whipping windstorm,
accompanied by heavy rain squalls,
assailed the peninsula and alley
areas. Telephone poles and trees
were toppled power communications
lines were blown down and fires
broke out. The wind velocity at
some points was estimated at so to
80 miles an hour.
Truck crops Of the Santa Clara
and San Joaquin valleys were re-
ported damaged. Stanislaus County
estimated damage at $4,000, while
the Salinas jacksonville lettuce re-
gion anticipated extensive losses.
The Pacific Northwest continued to
suffer from cold for the fourth con-
secutive day.
The thermometer descended to 20
degrees below zero in Havre, Mont,
and zero temperatures at earth
