Indian Brothers Rescue33
From California Torrent

EUREKA, Calf, Dec. rs [P).--
Two brawny Indian brothers
were credited today with saving
80 lives from the raging klamath
River after most Of their town,
klamath, was swept away.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clifford Whitney
who spent nine hours in swirline
waters clinging to tree tops be-
fore the two Indians got to them
said the rescuers Unanswered
their boat with great precision
and daring through debris cata-
putting down the raging torrent
The brothers, Bill and Greeley
Frye, rescued 33 people in that
one area" said Mrs. Whitney
Then they took us all into their
own home. Those brothers should
get the Carnegie Medal for I'M
surpassed heroism.
They pulled one man off the
top Of a fence post and rescued
a 92-year-old woman from hel
perch on a table as the water
stopped up over its edge"
The Frye brothers heroism
came too late to save Mr.. Whit
ney's brother, Ernest, 81.
The family, including Son Nor
man Whitney and his wife. had
been working on a new sawmill
south of klamath when the flood
hit. Ernest Whitney put off into
the torrent on an air mattress

Reporter at Yubo CITY
Tells of Wall of Water

MARYSVILLE. Calf, Dec. 26
.R.-The water came in with a
loud p-o-o-o-Sh!
It came in wall, spreading
in all directions and with such
pressure that it raced up hills
almost as If they weren't there.
People literally had to run for
their lives.
Within As minutes, all but pos
sibly a sixth of Yuba City was
flooded. Yet, in that brief time,
almost everyone got away.
When the Yuba City levee on
the Feather River broke. we
flashed the word over the one re-
manning radio station.
Fled In Massed Cars
The residents Of Yuba City, and
her sister city of Marysville
moved out in cars-three abreast,
bumper-to-bumper. at. 10 miles
an hour.
Some were trapped. I don't
know how many. I expect that
most OF those who perished-we
don't know the number-were in
cars trapped by the onrushing
water.
One thing that Will always
stick in my mind was a fire alarm
just as the levee broke. The fire
men raced to answer it, but were
met by a wall of water and had
TO flee. And there. like flaming
island in a sea Of rolling brown

Flood Victims
From Danger

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. rs up.
I'VE were picking them OF
everywhere i. treetops :. light
poles roofs. Even got Is
kids out of one building"
1t. Comdr. George F. Thometz,
jr.. a Coast Guard helicopter
pilot. told yesterday how he and
1t. Henry j. Pfeiffer rescued
1873 persons in an action packed
24-hour period in the Yuba City
flood area. Comdr. Thometz, 80,
formerly lived at Twin Fails,
Idaho. 1t. Pfeiffer, AZ, Is a
San Franciscan.
Taken off Top Floor
Comdr. Thometz said the IS
children were lifted from the
top floor of a Ihouse. I'VE just
kept lowering the basket and
bringing them up" he said.
Then we went back and picked
up their six fathers.
II picked one man off the top
of a light pole. He had tied
himself to it with the dead wire.
Our mechanic, Vic Rouland,
dropped on top of a house trailer,
hacked his way through the roof
to rescue a paralyzed woman.
She was floating in the trailer on
"a mattress.
1.-THE people were so terrifi-
ically cold they could hardly
talk. Many were suffering from
Exposure.
"One man, hanging by the
skin Of his teeth, was plucked
from a tree-top. He said he
stepped from his car shortly
after the levee broke and the
water was up to his chest be-
fore he could move.
HE told me he climbed a
tree. That guy was just lucky
to be strong enough to hold on.
We were picking them UP as
fast as We could. Just see q
light and head for it."
Antennas Knocked Over
1t. Pfeiffer said he twice had
to use his rotor blade to remove
itelevision antennas that inter-
fered with rooftop rescues. He
would drop as low as he could.
neatly snip the guy wire, then
tilt the 'copter and use the wash
from the blades to blow over
the antenna.
One woman, paralyzed from
polio, was picked up from the
roof of her home after the re-
moval of the ,T'V apparatus, the
pilot said.

State express confidence they
will win back this Office, which
has been in the hands of the
Democrats for the last seven
years. The Democrats have nc

strong appeal to Republican and
independent voters as has MIR

OF the 80 States which will
elect governors. Is today have
Democratic governors, and Is
Republican. A Congressional
Quarterly study suggests that
the Democrats may win nine
States where Republican. COVER
nors are now in Office, and that
four States in which there are
Democratic governors may be
carried by the Republicans.
This estimate was made before
Governor Lausche decided to
run for the Senate instead of
governor. Furthermore, how real
the danger is to Republican gov
errors in such States as Illinois.
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Wiscon-
sin. Delaware. Massachusetts,,
Montana and Utah - the nine
States in which the study indi-
Gated the Demo crats have
chances of victory-is largely a
guess.
May Shift
The states now having Demo-
cratic governors which the study
suggests may have Republican
governors after next years cleo
tons are Colorado, Maine, Min
nesota and West Virginia. Here
again the odds are so narrow
as to make prediction unreal.
1t seems certain. however, that
Ohio must now be placed in the
group of states where Republic
can chances are brighter.
If estimates for the rest OF the
states holding gubernatorial cleo
tons are correct, the Democrats
will hold the governorships in
Arizona. Arkansas, Florida, LOU
isiana, Michigan, Missouri, New
Mexico, North Carolina, Rhode
Island and Texas. The Repub-
licans. for their part, will hold
Nebraska, New Hampshire, North
and South Dakota, Vermont and
Washington.
Probably a great deal will de-
pend on how strong a Republic
can presidential candidate is
nominated. If President Eisen-
hover heads the ticket, he may
carry with him Republican gov
errors in many states now re-
garded as doubtful or even as
leaning to the Democrats.
Without Mr.. Eisenhower head
ing the Republican ticket, the
Democrats have in the elections
of 1853 and 1854 reversed the
lead which the Republicans held
in the number of governors.
After the 1852 national elections,
the Republicans had 80 COVER
norS; the Democrats, 10. Today,
the Democrats have q governors
and the Republicans 81.
The list of states wrested from
Republican control in these few
short years is impressive. 1t
comprises New Jersey. won by
the Democrats in 1853, and in
1854, Arizona, Colorado, Connec-
ticut. Maine, Minnesota, New
Mexico. New York and Pennsyl-
vania.
