Oil Boom Town Was
 Struck By Tornado
(Continued from Page 1)

injured were given first attention.
 It was not until a. m. 6 a. m EST0 that emergency crews had re- stored power lines and the lights went on in few sections of town
 The wrecked gas well was on the Atlanta -RodeSSa road. Police were forced to stop traf1ic and mark de- tour across 8 muddy side road, mak- ing 1t virtually impossible to travel between the towns.
 Vivian was without adequate facilities for treating the injured and most were sent to Shreveport Latest reports listed 13 injured in Shreveport hospitals.
 Estimate of Injured
 Estimates of the injured ran as high as 100 persons, but many of them suffered only minor hurts. The search of the ruins was renewed in- tensively at dawn after tagging in the early morning hours because of the rain and darkness.
 First estimates of the damage ranged between $20O,000 and $780, 900. The main part of the town cs- capped the destruction that was com- plete along supply row and the squatters' camp.
 Most of the survivors said a light rumble had been their first sensa- tion of the approaching destruction. Then lumber and sections of sheet iron of the demolished warehouses filled the air.
 Adjutant General Ray Fleming at New Orleans ordered out com- pany of national guardsmen from Shreveport, to move here immedi- ately, when he heard reports that there was footing. Thirty militiamen came here but martial law was not proclaimed and no signs of footing were apparent.
 The only order to the rescue work was in the areas taken over by state policemen and nation.-., guardsmen. Elsewhere, the townspeople milled about aimlessly, congregating most ly along the board walks of the bus ineSS district.
 The dawn was murky. The rain continued.

 ALLPOLITICIANS
(Acn1e Telephoto)

wethersfield, Conn, Feb. 1S.- (UP)-Gov. Wilbur L. Cross today advocated elimination of practical politicians" from the state govern ment and the continued formation of 8 business" administration.
 ''The point" said the governor, Sis to make the administration of the affairs of the state a business mat ter, dissasSociated from politics.
 He spoke to the Wethersfield Mems club.
 The governor said partial adop- tion of the reorganization program by the 1897 general assembly was a step in the direction of a "business" government.
 If we are to have a government which can pay its way" he said, it is absolutely necessary that we rig idly control our expenditures"
 He advocated abolition of "use- less political jobs" from the state government.

patience at the governments wait and see" attitude.
 But it was understood that a strong group in the cabinet led by Viscount Halifax, lord president of the council, opposed any word or action calculated to annoy Germany. This faction wants early complete agreement with Germany and Italy.
 As regards Italy, there was some belief that she and Germany might try to persuade the powers-Great Britain and France, specifically-to listen soon to joint diplomatic pro- posalS.
 Await Hitler Sunday Speech
 Berlin, Feb. 18.-(UP).-Fuehrer Adolf Hitler made a speech today, his first since his historic confer ence with Chancellor Kurt SchuSch- nigg of Austria, without throwing light on the present situation be- tween Austria and Germany.
 Nazi quarters, awaiting Hitler'S speech to the Reichstag Sunday, in- dicated they were satisfied with con- sessions made by Austria-and that they were watching closely to see that the concessions were carried out.
 Racial Laws Expected
 It was predicted more freely that rapid "bleischaltung"-harmonizing of Austrian life with German life would be carried out, and it was believed in many quarters that this meant inclusion of Germany's racial laws affecting Jews. AS regards the question of the Roman Catholic church it was realized that any progress toward Ratification of re- ligion must be made cautiously be- cause about s5 per cent of Austrians are Catholics.
 With the Austrian amnesty un- der way, 1t was expected that there would soon be flow of Austrian Nazi across the frontier-both ways.

Price System Policy Comes From President
(Continued from Page D

situation moderate rise in the general price level Is desirable, and that this rise need not and should not extend to all prices. The rise should take place in and must be mainly confined to classes of com- modities whose prices are too low. These include most of those raw materials and finished products which are produced and sold under highly competitive conditions. Such rise must not be so sharp or con- tinue so long as to lead to a repeti- tion of the unhealthy speculative conditions of a year ago. That sharp rise in prices encouraged specula- tive inventory buying which, com- bined with the decline in housing construction, laid much of the ground for the persent recession. We must do everything we can to pre- vent this from happening again.
 Balanced Price System
 Our program seems 8 balanced system of prices such as will pro- mote a balanced expansion in pro- duction. Our goal is a constantly increasing national income through increasing production and employ ment. This is the way to increase the real income of consumers.
 "This is not a policy of restric- tion; it is a policy of abundance.
 Our agricultural, industrial, hous- ing and monetary programs have been and will be directed toward this end"
 This statement was prepared at the presidents request by: Henry Morgenthau, Jr., secretary of the treasury; Henry A. Wallace, secre- tary of agriculture; Frances Per- kins, secretary of labor; Mariner Eccles, chairman of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System; and economists of various executive departments.
