Munich, who supported abolition
of sanctions but opposed recogni-
ton Of Italy's conquest OF Ethio-
pia, suggested:
/. That the council investigate
the possibility of securing entry
of the United States and other
non n-members into the league.

non-members sign a consultative
pact asserting non-members nave

Motta said it is useless to con-

and insecurity since the original
goal of halting the Italo-Ethio-
plan war has not been achieved.
The league failed, he said, be-
cause it lacked universally and

HUGE SAVING
TO GROWERS
is Affected
Four Big Railroads
Join in Pact
For Cut

LOS ANGELES, July 2.
(UP)-A reduction of citrus
freight rates to $1.35 a hun
dred, estimated to save Cal
ifornia and Arizona ship
pers S2,OO0,OOO a year, has been
negotiated with the four major
western railroads, it was announc-
ed here today.
The agreement was signed at a
conference between officials OF the
California Fruit Growers Exchange
and the Mutual Orange Distribut-
ors and representatives of the
Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, Union
Pacific and Western Pacific rail-
roads.
The new rate will become effec-
tive as soon as it is ratified by con-
Meeting lines and the interstate
commerce commission.
The rate covers oranges, lemons,
and grapefruit and will be estab
lished as a temporary rate, eXpir-
ing Oct. 81, 1887.
A previous emergency rate was
established three years ago, pro-
viding a charge of SLAB a hun
dred. The permanent rate, which
both old and new agreements su-
persede, assessed a charge of $l.55
for oranges and grapefruit and
$150 for lemons. Under the new
rate structure, the citrus industry
will save $2,O00,000 a year as COM
pared to the present emergency
rate or $5,000,000 as compared
with the old permanent rate.
Although the fruit growers eX-
change and the orange distribut-
ors had sought a lower rate than
that accepted by the railroads,
officials expressed qualification
over the agreement. They refused
to say what rate had been de-
manded.

Today. "a hours after SpoutS of
water poured from the skies, the
full story of the disaster was COM
ing from the isolated regions. Soon
after the cloudburSt, dry stream
beds contained maddened torrents
that swept everything before them.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of
farm lands were inundated as were
several towns. Property damage
was estimated in the millions.
The cloudbursts struck in Con-
zales and adjoining counties in
south Texas. Today the flood
waters were receding as rapidly as
they rose revealing more grave
picture than had been anticipated.
The flood ripped through the set
tlement of Kyle, between Austin
and San Antonio, where the three
bodies were found today. Business
buildings and streets in Gonzales
were at one time under three to five
feet of water. A number of frame
houses were washed down the river.
The flood wrecked a train when
washed out a bridge north OF Kyle.
Two were known dead there, but a
hobo, who had been on the train,
told Klye authorities at least six
men drowned when the train
plunged into the stream.
Near Nixon in Gonzales county,
the bodies of Clarence Wernette
and his two daughters, Betty Jean,
6, and Joan, 4, we're found on the
banks of the receding Sandies
Creek. Wernette's wife was missing.
She was believed dead.

lily was known to survive, Clarence

At INLAND, nine inches of rain fell
