The Coolidge examiner., 1945-07-27

Coolidge was the center of a
storm Sunday that brought the
most general rain to thirsty Arizona
since March, and the most terrific
wind and lashing rain to sections
of Coolidge, Florence and surround
ing ranch districts that old timers
have seen in many years. The
freak storm wound like a serpent
through Coolidge and outlying
areas, breaking plate glass win
dows, tearing off roofs and Telling
huge trees in its path.
The storm broke in all its fury
late Sunday afternoon, quickly fill
ing Main Street with water from
curb to curb. When the power went
off theater-goers removed their
shoes and waded to their cars
across the street. Waves caused
by passing cars swept across the
sidewalks and narrowly missed go
ing under doorways of business
buildings. The terrific force of the
wind shattered a glass in Hines
Drug Company east window and
ruined merchandise on display. The
plate glass front of Appel & Sons
on Coolidge Avenue was broken
by the force of the storm, but no
damage to merchandise resulted.
The roof of the Henry Appel. Jr.,
home east of Coolidge was torn off
by the storm and rain poured in,
running walls and woodwork that
had Just been redecorated. A num-
Der of roofs through the main storm
area were blown off, including all
those on the tenant houses at the
Shoemaker ranch. The pump house
at Pinal Gin near Borree's Corner
was lifted off the pump and de-
posted on the highway. Numerous
corral fences were scattered, and
the roofs of barns and sheds blown
off.
Lightning struck Kellman
switch at the Diesel Plant of the
Indian Irrigation Service, causing
Coolidge residents to be without
electricity during the worst of the
storm. Telephone service through
out the rural district was disrupted,
lines were torn down. Electricity
went off at the Salt River Valley
Water Users sub station southwest
of Coolidge at IL a. m. and re-
mained off until after midnight.
The initial damage on this line was
caused by branches being blown
across the line and burning a pole.
Slight hail was reported east of
Coolidge, but no crop damage.
Crops throughout the storm area
were practically flattened, and al
though some damage resulted the
heavy rain was of untold benefit
TO the agricultural valley which
had been pumping heavily.
Rainfall at the Ruins was re-
ported at II of an inch. Two
miles away at Mac Rae ranch a
rain guage showed a fall of two
inches, indicating how the storm
swept through the district like a
cyclone, wrecking its full fury on
certain areas and passing others
nearby.
A calf tied to tree in the corral
at w H. Farnsworth ranch was
struck by lightning and killed. Mrs.
B. F. Storie lost so fryers that in
spite of having plenty of shelter,
tried to crowd into the small area
of a dog house when the storm
broke, and were smothered. Milk
ing at the George Zeigler ranch was
disrupted because of lack of cleo
tricity - causing one entire milk
ing to be lost.
Runoff from the desert storm
which appeared to center around
Picacho, swept through highway
dips from Red Rock to- Coolidge,
depositing debris on the pavement.

4 The years best seller, "The Educa-
tion Of Harry Truman" is approach
ing a climax.
The leisurely buildup is over.
Farewell has been said to the coun-
| ty fairs-by Mr.. Truman reluctantly.
His advisers are happy to have him
accede so readily to their blackout
of the picture of sporty, pleasure
loving President taking to the road
during these troubled times. Mr.
Truman, that friendly man, really
regrets it.
The congressional love feast is an
other casualty. In his fireside chat
the President challenged a Congress
more conservative than he is to a
course of action it will accept only
with the greatest difficulty. Many
assert he is foredoomed to defeat,
that Congress is through with any
thing that savors of the New Deal.
In an effort to show he means busi-
ness Truman called down two COM
mittees by name-a breach of con-
gressional etiquette to which the
offended statesmen reacted publicly
and bitterly.
No doubt is possible that Mr.. Tru-
man will have to fight for what he
wants from now on in. The ques-
ton is: Can he do it?
Asset Works Against Him.
Curiously, one of his supposed as
sets when he succeeded to office
now works against him. His men,
bership in Congress, his knowledge
of it, his friendS-all this was to be
in his favor. But Mr.. Truman has
elected a course which is more lib
eral, more prolabor, than Congress.
1t doesn't satisfy the New Dealers,
but it doesn't satisfy Congress either.
And Congress is finding it hard to
take seriously the man they knew
so well for 10 years.
Their familiarity is not breeding
contempt in an unkind sense-it
does breed disregard. They can't
be persuaded that Mr.. Truman can
or will make his displeasure felt;
they know he is kind and good
humored; they can't see him with a
whip in hand
His advisers are split on the ques-
ton of what he should do. One
bitterly asserted today that there is
always somebody around to steam up

it. He did concede fear that the
President could put 1t over.
Mr.. Truman did not, despite Mr.
Wallace's brave front, go as far as
the New Dealers had wished. They
wanted a definite formula and a
demand on industry to put 1t into
effect. The more cautious counsels
of Reconversion Director John Sny-
der hammered down their proposals.

Congress Can't Picture Truman
Holding a Whip, Says Observer

the President to denounce Congress
whenever the going gets tough. It
was argued that this made a one
day sensation but always ended in
the short end of the roll call because
it merely made Congress mad. The
speaker is devotee of the cloak
room compromise. Should his coun-
sci prevail in the days to come, the
cheerful face of National Charm an
Hannegan will be appearing on
Evening star., 1945-11-01

On the whole the official Tru-
man family went along with the
speech. It's In Congress that the
Truman good neighbor policy has
met fat and conspicuous failure.

Fear OF Defiati0n.
The White House apparently has
decided that 1t fears defiation more
than it does imitation. To that ex-
tent it has accepted the dictum of
Secretary of Commerce Wallace that
this country won't stand for an
other depression, that people must
have money in their pockets and
jobs to work at, and the Govern
ment must see to it.
Henry Wallace was pleased with
President Truman's wage and price
speech. He privately assured friends
that it was all that could be hoped
for, that he had no doubts about

New Jersey avenue was sold, and a

THE FIGHTING LADY MOVES AHEAD

WHILE the Nazis reeled back under pressure from w west, east and south, from the air and from the underground, devastatingly powerful striking force was unleashed against the Japanese.
 The force the aircraft carrier, enthroned the queen of the seas, with her escort of battle ships cruisers and destroyers.
 There were now some 75 carriers in the fleet and they virtually free to roam as they pleased. They had become the forerunners of invasion, sending off speedy fighters and bombers to soften up enemy installations to clear the airfelds and skies of enemy planes, to pound the ground ahead of invaders scurrying up the beaches, to isolate battlefelds and throw up shield of bombs and torpedos against enemy attempts to bring in rein forcementS
 Capture of the Marshalls gave the top carrier admirals-Marc Mitscher and John S. Mccain great bases from which to mount new attacks. But by 1944 Americas naval forces became almost self sufficient. With completely and almost in credible system of supply trains consisting of tank CTS, storage vessels and floating drydocks, it was possible for the fighting ships to stay at sea for months Meeting supply train hundreds of miles from land they could take on oil ammunition food, thousands of conveniences like cigarettes, candy bars, shaving cream and tooth paste
 The Japanese could never know where the carriers would strike, and strike started they could never tell when it might end The resources of Americas fleet seemed to be inexhauStible.
 On June II tremendous carrier force appeared off the islands of Sapan, Tinian Guam Pagan and Rota in the Marianas islands, 1500 miles from Tokyo It was the first announced appearance of Mitscher's "Task Force 58' fast and mighty armada with perhaps 20 carriers, protected by bat tleships, cruisers and other warships. l.
 For three days torpedo planes, dive bombers and fighters roared the islands slashng through
