and Look to Future.
By United Press)

Federal, state and local authori-
ties of tornado-torn Gainesville,
Ca, and Tupelo, Miss, announced
victory in a fight against disease to-
day and began plans to build model
communities. Workmen still searched
in debris for bodies of missing per-
sons.
Revised Red Gross tabulations
established 1873 dead in Gainesville
and 213 in Tupelo. With 81 deaths
in other tornadoes in Arkansas,
South Carolina, Alabama and Ten
nessee, the tornado death toll stood
at 433.
The WPA cut through red tape
to initiate reconstruction of houses
and store buildings while state au-
thorities made use of $2,500,000 al
lotted by President Roosevelt from
emergency relief funds. Mississippi
and Georgia had $1,000 900 each,
with the remainder divided among
other affected states.

The bodies of many of the city'S
1873 dead remained unidentified, and
hospitals still were filled with the
injured, but the. hysteria of the
early week was gone.

D. G. Actors Go
ToNeW York

On Friday afternoon, November
20, at 4 o'clock, a group Of the
Washington Players directed by
Bess Schreiner will appear at
Town Hall, New York City, in the
third performance of "Six Char
acters" a 36-minute series Of dra-
matte episodes written by Edwin
r MeiSS, originally given by the
Washington Players in September,
1888, at the Hotel Mayflower here
and repeated by them last May,
in the auditorium ballroom, At
lantic City, upon invitation Of
leading welfare organizations of
America.
Their appearance next week at
Town Hall is under the auspices
Of the Charity Organization
Society of New York City, from
which the original idea of present
ing the sketches emanated, and
which secured the material for the
sketches from welfare associations
in six cities-for the characters
are real people-andA represent
various angles of social service
work.
The first presentation in Wash
ington in September, 1885, was
under the auspices of the meeting
for the Mobilization of Human
Needs, and the sketches made a
deep impression upon the audi
ence upon that occasion, which
resulted in the subsequent invita-
tions.
Rehearsals are being held in
Central High School auditorium,
through the cooperation of Cen
tral Community Center with
which the Washington Players are
affiliated. The original perform
ance here was given with the CO.
operation of the Community
Center Department.
Members of the cast which will
be seen in "Six Characters" in
New York City next week are Kate
Tomlinson, Yerby Pannill, Anne
Ives, Audrey Wolfe, Maurice
Jarvis, Ted Freter and Harry
Blutstein.
