PALM BEACH, Fla, Sept. 49,
If there is sadness in the death OF
trees, then Palm Beach is a sad
place today.
Boarded and empty, the stately
homes of this winter social capital
of the Gold Coast still stand in
tact, bit its pavements are Uttered
with the corpses of famous fallen
trees.
They are the royal palms known
to millions of American tourists
tall, slender trees that take the
wind as gracefully as bending
sail. &.
Now they lie like granite road
blocks across Royal Poinciana and
Royal Palm boulevards-two of the
worlds beautiful streets. They are
down by the hundreds and probably
thousands, beaten to earth and up
rooted by winds whirling at more
than 120 miles an hour.
The hurricane struck in full power
yesterday against Palm Beach, a 12-
square-mile sea emerald linked to
the mainland by three causeways.
The island is valued on tax rolls
at $63 100000.
Most Mansions Still Closed.
But few Of the millionaires who
come here to rub elbows with multi
millionaires were in their mansions,
still shuttered and closed until the
winter season. Palm Beach is pop
ulated chiefly by caretakers, police
men and flremen. No lives were lost
here.
A predawn motor tour of the
battered island this morning found
it locsing pretty much like dowager
with her hair caught in an electric
drier.
Every side road was blocked with
trees. The car lights were blinded
at times by heavy rain squalls. High
velocity winds sent torn palm tronos
skittering across black pavements,
deserted except for police patrols.

Social WorkerNeeded
In Court, Judge Says

"At loss" as to how to handle the
case of 51-year-old deaf woman
charged with vagrancy. Judge Ar
mond w. Scott yesterday deplored
the fact that public aid agencies
here do not assign social workers
to the courts.
The court needs assistance from
qualified workers to take care of
vagrants who are unable to take
care of themselves the judge de-
clared.
People like this defendant are
blameless, even though they are
technically guilty" he added. Il feel
helpless trying to act alone in q
case like this"
The defendant was Mrs. Elizabeth
M. ludlow, who was found living in
an empty Capital Transit Co. re-
pair shack near Georgia and Alaska
avenues NV, according to Pvt. w
A. Schubring of No. Precinct. The
policeman testified he dislikec
bounding" the woman and said he
only wanted to help her.
Judge Scott continued the case
to Monday after asking Andrew
Thomas, lawyer appointed by the
court, to investigate and to offer a
possible solution at that time.
The Welfare Department said to-
day that Mrs. ludlow is on relief
rolls, but has not received her check
for September. Off1cials said she
asserted a relative had put her out
of her house and that when they
offered to place her in home for
the aged at Blue Plains she refused
The department said it did not
have sufficient help to assign work
ers to the courts.

of salt water duck ponds.
Money built the fabulous homes
and Fairgrounds of Palm Beach and
money can repair the hurricane
damage to them. But it will take
years to replace the ruined royal
palms cut down in few hours along
the stricken thoroughfares they
once made green with beauty that
became a Palm Beach trademark
