passing Soviet cutter. All six were
captured and two wounded.
A light machine gun, five Japa-
nese rifles, a Mauser pistol, more
than 1000 cartridges and other arms
were seized, the dispatches said.
At Tokyo, newspapers reported
today that Russia is continually
increasing its forces in the neigh
borhood of the hill on the Siberia
Manchukuo-Kore frontier which
has caused the latest dangerous
Japanese Russian incident.
Some dispatches expressed the
opinion that the Russians might
withdraw within a few days, as
Japan demands. But others were
more pessimistic, particularly be-
cause party of japanese and Man
chukuan messengers, sent to nego-
tiate with the Russians on the spot,
had not returned.
At Hongkong, unconfirmed re-
ports were circulated in Chinese
circles that japanese submarines
in southern China waters had left
for the north because of the new
incident with Russia on the Siberi-
n-Manchukuan Korean frontier.

Tropic Air Mass
-Four Miles Deep
Over Most Of U.s..
Moisture Laden Clouds
Blamed For Unusual
Season of Rain

WASHINGTON, July %
(UP)-A tropical air mass,
four miles deep in spots and
"dripping' with moisture,
was blamed by the weather
bureau today for the incessant
rains over most of the United
States during the last week.
The warm, moist air has been
stagnated over large areas, bureau
officials said, and there are no
prospects of change within the next
few days.
I'VE haven't had situation SIM
liar to this for number of years, "
one official said.
The results of the stagnation has
been felt most severely along the
eastern seaboard.
Weather bureau observers believ-
ed that the stagnatiop would con-
tinue at least until Sunday when
movement of cool, dry polar" air
from the north may bring relief
from constant showers.
The bureaus river and flood divi-
sion reported little possibility OF
floods except in isolated areas. In
most areas the ground is extremely
dry and readily absorbs the mois-
ture.
The troical air mass is general
over most of the country, officials
said, although it is not as deep in
the central portion. There the rains
are not as frequent.
Reports from throughout the
country show that for the eight
day period beginning July Is, rain
fall has been far above normal. In
number of cities, rain has fallen
during six of the eight days.
In Boston, 5.38 inches has fallen
in this period. Normal is 80 inches.
Rain fell in five of the eight days.
In Montgomery, Ala, where it
has rained six days, rainfall totaled
nearly five times the normal
amount. In Palestine, Tex, 460
inches fell in four days, or about
seven times normal.

ATLANTA, Ga, July 90. UP)-
Senator George, D., of Georgia
charged today that the New Deal
removed Earle Cooke, director OF
the National Emergency council III
the state, because Cooke endorsed
Georges candidacy in the forth
coming primary election.
George first made the complaint
yesterday in answering a question
naire for the senate campaign eX-
penditure committee. He mention
ed no name then, merely saying
that a federal official who had been
friendly to him, had been diScharg-
ed. Today he named the official as
Cooke, and said he had telegraphed
a protest to Lowell Mellett, execu-
tive director of the national emer-
gency council in Washington.
George is a candidate for re-
nomination in the Democratic pri-
mary Sept IA. In the last congress,
he joined with Sen. Ellison D., Got
ton Ed Smith of South Carolina,
and Sen. Millard E. Tydings of
Maryland, to oppose many phases
of President Roosevelt's program.
Georges charge brought imme-
diate response from the campaign
expenditures committee Sen. Nor
riS d. Shepard, D., Tex, chairman,
said the committee would meet as
soon as possible for an investiga-
ton.
The committee had sent George
routine QUESTIONABLE, asking
about contributions and eXpendi-
lures of his campaign and whether
there was any evidence of the use
of federal funds in the Georgia
primary.
George replied that he had re-
ceived contributions of $15,420; had
spent $l4,988, and remarked:
Il cite this as one case. -. A fed
eral official in Georgia has been
removed, probably FOR the sole rea-
son that he proposes to vote for
me-"
Amplifying his charge today
George said: Il had in mind the

Torrent Drives Out
5000 Persons in
Lone Star State

SAN SABA, Texas, July
23 (UP) : The 5000 resi-
dents of San Saba driven
from their homes by the
flood waters of three
streams, huddled In the area
around the city square today and
watched the water close in on them
from three Sides
Authorities said that the water
was within a block of the square,
Richard Springs creek, Brandy
creek and the Colorado river con-
tinued to rise as more rain fell.
Richland Springs, a community
of 800 population Is miles west,
was under water. Residents fled to
safety.
An emergency flood relief conf
mittee appealed to- the United
States army and to the coast guard
to take charge of caring for refu-
gees. At least IA persons were be-
lieved already to have been drown
ed by the sweeping advance of the
normally placid San Saba river.
The IA persons, believed to have
been members of two Mexican FAM
lilies had sought refuge atop a barn,
which river workers said was almost
certain to have been swept away
during the night. ~'.---.
The town had no water supply
The city water plant was sub
merged and there was threat oi
disease from lack of sanitation fac.
ilities. Food supplies were almos'
gone.
George Steinman, head of the
quickly mobilized relief committee
in the appeal for help said, "Condi-
tions are becoming extremely criti-
cal and much loss of life and prop
erty is feared"
He said hope virtually had beer
abandoned for the stranded Mexi-
cans.
All communications lines except q
single telephone wire tSd been
washed out. Steinman asked the
United Press to relay the appeal
of the committee to the army and
to the coast guard.

Women Tourists,
Lost in Bad|ands,
Found by Mirrors
Trio Exhausted by Long
Struggle Over Lava
OF New Mexico

GRANTS, N. NJ, July 23
(UP) - Three exhausted
women tourists from Mon
tana, who flashed a mirror
into the sun to attract
searching parties were found alive
today in the lava encrusted bad
lands 35 miles west of here.
Doctors and nurses who accom-
panied approximately 100 persons
from Grants this morning under
the leadership of Gov. Clyde L..
Tingley were administering nour-
ishment to the women who had
been wandering for many hours
in search of their automobile which
they had left to visit an ice cave
in the lava beds.
Their shoes were torn to shreds
during their aimless plodding over
the sharp, CLASSY surface.
The women were located approxi-
mately three miles from their car,
hopele5sly lost in the maze of glis-
tening lava. They were SO weak
ened from exhaustion that they
were scarcely able to move and the
bottoms of their feet were badly
lacerated.
AS they sank to the lava surface,
one of the women opened a small
compact and moved its mirror about
in the suns glare. 1t was by this
reflection tEe. the discovery was
made.

| The wounded man was found lying
on the street a block from the
Freedman packing shed at 3:15 am.
Friday while the shed blazed in a
disastrous fire which destroyed it.
OSWalt said he had definite proof
that other persons were with
Schoenburg and Meyers during the
night Thursday and he knows who
they are. He said he will give them
an opportunity to visit police head
quarters voluntarily and give an
explanation of events of the eve
ming. Otherwise, he declared, he
will arrest them and hold them
for investigation.
Schoenburg and Meyers refused,
Oswalt said, to give a completely
satisfactory explanation of the
shooting. They were believed to be
friends. Both worked for the Freed
man company. They were seen to-
gether a few hours before Meyers
was found. Police arrested Schoen-
burg in his hotel room later.
Officers know Meyers was shot by
a 80 calibre pistol because the slug
lodged in his spine and caused his
death, Chief OsWalt said. In
Schoenburg's bathrobe pocket po-
lice found the holster of 80 pistol
identified by a man who suspected
Schoenburg of stealing it from him.
The shell of a 80 pistol was found
near the spot, Meyers was lying
when found by Officer Jack Tackett
of the Ell Centro police department.
The gun used in the shooting
has not been found, Oswalt said.
His officers searched the area near
the fire and near the place Meyers
was found. After searching for
hours, the called Is junior police
men and had them search. They,
too, were unsuccessful. Police still
are searching for a possible con-
nection between the shooting and
the fire.
An autopsy was performed on
Meyers Saturday An inquest is
scheduled for the Lemons under
taking establishment Monday.

There is plenty Of classy opposi-

he can fight Fred Apostolic, who
