BRUSH BLAZE RACES IN SO. GAL. CANYONS
Cabins, Ranches, Oil Lands Threatened by Sum
 mer's Worst Fire

Los Angeles, June 18.-A brisk brush blaze rushed unchecked today through Hasley Canyon, west of the heavily travelled ridge route, and foresters poured men and equipment into the area in an att tempt to beat down the summers worst Southern California outbreak.
 Cabins, ranches, grazing land and some oil wells are in the area, but Assistant Dispatcher Richard Flynn said it could not be immediately determined whether any were in immediate danger.
 Gusty winds famed the flames as they climbed a ridge dividing Hasley and Nicholson Canyons. The weather bureau said northeast gusts up to 30 miles an hour could be expected throughout the day but would probably shift and diminish by tomorrow.
 The scene is two miles south- east of Cesaic, which is on the main inland highway from here to Central and Northern California.
 Five miles away are two heavily tirtered National forests Los Padres and Los Angeles.

The W ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - Some people seem to be laboring under the inn pression that wrangles are new on the Supreme Court. Actually, wrangling began soon after the Court was formed, with the at tempted impeachment of Justice Samuel Chase, continued vigorously under John Marshall and has far ed-up intermittently ever since.
 Latest wrangle, prior to the Jackson blow-up, was between ann fable Chief Justice Harlan Fiske Stone and austere Justice Owen J. Roberts. Although Republicans and Hoover appointees, they did not get along well in recent years, and there was one hot though private argument between them over the question of sitting Non case in- volving Stones former law firm.
 Before that, however, the most virulent fe,id on the Supreme Court revolved around cranky, crusty Justice James c. Reynolds, the only justice credited with driv- ing an associate off the Court. For six years Justice John H. Clarke sat beside him, and for six years McReynolds never spoke. Finally Clarke resigned.
 McReynolds also tried to drive the late Justice Louis p. Brapdeis off the bench. He would rattle his papers or even leave the bench when Brandeis rendered an opin-

Property Damage in South Michigan, Ontario, Cdn-
 ada Reported Enormous


 DETROIT, June ,8. = A freak June tornado struck yiciously Mon- day night into southern Michigan and adjacent Ontario, Canada, and left behind today death toll of at least IT and more than 100 in- jured
 Searching parties hunted through one-hundred yard path of dew astation in Canada for possible ad- ditional victims. The identified dead totaled 13. but hospitals in the Windsor area reported at least seven or eight" other victims cri- tically injured and near death.
 The search through the debris began at the first streak of dawn today less than l2 hours after the twister roared across the Detroit River and into sparsely settled rural area near Windsor.
 No Mere Bodies Found
 At noon no additional bodies had been reported found in the wreck age of the twister. The search in the Windsor area continued. About 50 persons were reported still in hospitals on the Canadian side. In all, it was estimated the injured toll approximated 200, including those only slightly hurt.
 River Rouge, Mich, Detroit suburb and home of the huge Ford Motor Company Rouge plant, sus- tained the first shock of the tor nado shortly after pm. but tiny Sandwich. Ont. bore the full fury of the blast.
 Property damage was expected to run into the millions of dollars.
 Hundreds Homeless
 Hundreds of persons are homeless as the wind toppled their homes like so many straws.
 Business establishments are wrecked, autos were tossed about like playthings and bodies of the victims were buffeted as the tor nado reached it's zenith.
 The tornado, climaxifig two days of violent rainstorms in the area, struck without warning.
 Scores of residents of populous River Rouge were at their supper tables when 1t hit.
 Housing Units Lcvelled
 The Fisher Low Cost Housing Project was first to feel the fury of the tornado which leveled 10 of the 546 units and caused severe damage to others.
 At least 15 project residents were injured as the wind ripped build- ings as if they were made of pa- per Several small fires broke out, adding to the panic.
 The tornado. which weather bu- reau officials said travelled more than 25D miles an hour, tore on through the business district of populous River Rouge, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
 Huge WaterspOuts
 It then zoomed across the Detroit River, the suction of the tornado creating four huge waterspouts. Coast Guardsmen said that as far as they knew. no boats had been damaged by the huge freaks of nature.
 The terrifying funnel, estimated varicusly at from 20 to 100 feet at it's base, sucked nearly everything in l0O-yard swath' into its fatal grip.
 Little Sandwich and outskirts of the Canadian communities recoiled under the full blast of the tornado before 1t headed for Lake St. Clair, where the weather bureau said it dissipated

 RhlDING JEWS
Terrorisis Snatch Officers as Hostages for Con-
 demned Duo

JERUSALEM, June 18.-A reli- able informant said four British officers were kidnapped today from an officers club at Tel Aviv by a dozen Jewish extremists armed with tommy guns.
 The new ouupreaK of terrorism spreading throughout Palestine came after a wild night in Haifa, when nine Jews were killed in a pitched battle after they attacked the Central Railroad shops. The deaths during gunfire and Is ex- plosions at the railway yards rais- ed the toll in recent days to IS.
 The informant reporting the kid mapping at Tel Aviv said the ban- dits were believed to be members of the Jewish extremist organiza- ton, Irgun zvai Leumi. The British officers were believed seized as hostages against tn impending exc cution of two Irgun members. sem fenced to death last week for parti- cipating in raid last March on a British army camp.
 Raid Hotel Club
 The dozer terrorists raided the Hotel Yarkon, which has been leading officers club in Tel Aviv for several years. Their victims were hlindfolded and forced into taxicabs, the informant said.
 oThe British War Office in Lon dcn expressed surprise when in- formed of the reported Kidnapping, asserting that this is the first we have heard of it.')
 (Reuters reported from Tel Aviv that the British Sixth Airborne division was securing the city for the kidnapers and their victims, reported to be fliers)
 The underground Jewish radio said at the weekend some counter measure would be taken against the death sentences imposed on the Irgun members by military court in Jerusalem.
 Latest adv:ces from Haifa said the railway shops and a power house were destroyed last night. A locomotive was ruined. Police con- tinued to cordon off the area of the battle.
 Set IS Explosions
 The raiders set off 15 explosions in the rail yards and escaped over heavily mined roads.
 The official announcement said five persons, including two women, were inured seriously and that IA men and a woman were arrested. No casualties were reported among British army personnel.
 Previously the government an- nounced that six Jews were slain Sunday night in attacks during which all ot Palestine's frontier bridges were wrecked. A British officer and two British soldiers al- so died, the officer while dis mantling mine under bridge and the two soldiers in clash with Arabs.
 The British army, meanwhile, continued to question the 62 male residents of the village of Beth Haayara, on the Dead Sea, in con- nection with the wrecking of the bridges. The entire population of the village attempted to bar the troops by linking arms and taking stand.
