Waters Receded Left In Wake
 Fear of Disease

LOS ANGELES, Calf, March 4, (P)-A grim search through silt and debris for bodies of flood victims began in storm ravaged Southern California, where the casualty list of 95 known dead or missing, is steadily mounting.
 The list of dead from the ten million dollaro five-day rain storm rose to TO early today and 25 known to be missing and an undetermined number of others. It is reliably estimated that be- tween twenty-five and fifty per sons are feared lost, and officials said it would be days before the exact casualties and damage will be known.
 Unofficial estimates of the dam age scared well above ten million dollars, The damage to Los An geles City property alone is rela- lively small part of the five county area which was swept by floods. It is estimated by city engineer Lloyd Aldrich at three million twenty eight thousand dollars, as the sWirling yellow flood waters receded as rapidly as they came and left in their wake a rising fear of disease. F The main outfall sewer of Or ange County, serving dozen populous towns, gave way and threatened widespread. pollution.
 Many movie notables were caught in the worst storm that Southern California has suffered in years. The floods temporarily marooned Ida Lupino, Madalene Carroll, Michael Whalen, Tom Rutherford, Neil Hamilton, and Director Frank Capra.

BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Coe- graye--and their associates agreed upon pr, Douga4 Hyde as the first real President of the country.
 Here are the high spots of this decision:
 Fire Is predominantiy a Roman Catholic
 country, but Dr. Hyde Is Pr0testant-S0n
 of a Protestant country parson.
 Politicians usually want practical man
 as head of the state, but Dr. Hyde is a poet
 The dominant cry fin Europe is for young
 inen as leaders. but the Irish chose Dr.
 Hyde, who Is 78.
 Dr Hyde is universally popular both with his Catholic and his Protestant fellow countryinen. lie has kept aloof from political quarrels and he has done more for the Irish language and literature than even Fires most famous poets and noyeiists After alI the latter mainly wrote in English, But Dr. Hyde has made Gaelic his particular care.
 He was born in 1850 at Frenchport County Ros- common, where his father preacher. He went to Trinity College, Dublin, and had brilliant career Later he lived in Connalght and became interested in the Gaelic speech of his neighbors During spell Of illness he took up the study of Gaelic and eventually became one of its greatest modern masters and exponents
 When the Gaelic League was formed in 1893, he became it's first President He began writing in Gaelic, adopting the pen name of An Craobhin AOlblln, Whlch means 'Beautliul ntCe branch" Ills Literary History of Ireland" the first serious at tempt to write real comprehensive story of Gaelic literature. He followed this up with transations from the Gaelic-"Loye Songs of Connaught." Later he became professor of Irish literature in the Na tional University of Dublin
 In 1908 he made tour of the United States. the primary purpose Of which was to raise fund of $6O000 for the Gaelic League. He addressed audi ences of students at the leading American univer- sites He delivered lectures in large cities.

You shall stand up on that box and tell the folkses about that Stingy Tommy and that you and the other childrens got nothing against me. But you shall say nothing about th' digging
 Then 4 policeman came up, We knew each other. Hello, Tony! Whats th' excitement he asked.
 Peppina Plays Role
 "'It's all right, officer 1 said A little girl particular friend of mlne-is going to say few words to th' crowd, and then they'll all go about their business
 Where's this girl2' asked the policeman.
 FeDpIIIh stepped IOfWhfd.
 "Policeman impressed. 'GO right ahead with the program he said, good -naturedly, and Tony and I'll stay and see that the crowd behaves.
 But Peppina didn't need any body To help her manage that crowd, She made fl hit from the start and they didn't want her to stop when she did. It was all right, Peppina. It was splendid and was mighty proud of you" he said, throwing her a kiss across the table.
 Antonio was about to stop there, but the others except Peppina led by Miss Ward, insisted upon his telling them what Peppina said.
 Well" continued Antonio, "she stood uD there, cool as cucum- Der, facing the crowd with smile. The other children gathered closely around her-confidenL of her ability 10 do credit To the or ghnlzall0n- watched her intently. Her gesture with both hands fo- clsed all eyes on the children:
 Paul Guards
 We are the Paul Guards, she began, in her natural low, musical tone of yOice-'We are school chil- dren of the famous Old North End That brought a round Of applause, and the drummer beat three cheers on the drum. We study American history in our school and we love it all, but the part we love the best is what it tells us about the brave lives that have been lived and the brave deeds that have been done right here in our own neighborhood.' You should have seen tn crowd thenl Officer Mulligan and 1 as uproarlous ifs th' rest.
 She explained how they had paraded that day past Paul Re- vere's House, and past the loca- ton on Hanover Street where pr. Warren used to live, to show hon or to their memory. And that they had come over where Stingy Tommy Used to live to boo his memory, without any reflections on present residents
 "Fhe man had been standing close by, drinking in every word and when Peppina pointed him out 10 the crowd and assured them that he was not a descend ant of Stingy Tommy or King George or any other tory; but WAS good, patriotic delicatessen man
 they gave him an ovation, And the man deeply affected, bowed to everybody, but toward Pep pima, he cast looks of wonder and reverence snd took Oft his hat

 Then with final cheer for Peppipa and the Guards, the crowd dispersed in very good humor And the Guards re- formed and went on their way - to the quick -step beat of the drum

 Demi-tasse, fruit, nuts, and rare Italian cheese were on the tables now.
 T understand we're all going over tO the Paul Revere House this afternoon to hear Peppina tell a story 10 the children of the Paul Revere Guards-Is that cor rect Peppina?" asked Miss Ward. "The Guards will be very much pleased to have you come" re- piled Peppina.
