Texas Flood Toll
Increases to 10

AUSTIN. Tex, Oct. 81 (AP) .
Flood waters swept two small
children to their death in
Southwest Texas, increasing
the weekend death toll from
flash floods to at least 10.
The torrential rains of up to
10 inches halted yesterday and
were replaced by a major cold
front that brought rain, snow
and Sleet to the Panhandle.
Two Del Rio children, Pedro
Ramirez, jr., 6, and his sister,
Joldea, 4. drowned in the
flooding Nueces River about
$50 miles southeast of Austin
Saturday night. Eight others
drowned in floods set off by
cloudbursts.
The boy and girl were the
only children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Pedro Ramirez. Their car
stalled while crossing a bridge
which was covered with 2 to 8
feet of water, highway patrol
men said.
The father tried to push the
car but the rushing water car
ried the front part of the car
of the bridge, leaving the rear
wheels resting on the bridge.
While attempting to carry the
children to safety the father
was swept of his feet.
Mrs. Ramirez was carried 100
yards down the river before she
crawled out and the father
managed to pull himself to
safety near the bridge.

Minister Raul Roa was expected

The Assembly is expected to
adopt the recommendation and
reject the Cuban request for

Rear Admiral Edward j.

the new commander of the
United States Naval Base at
Guantanamo Bay. Cuba.
Admiral O'Donnell, SO, q ma
tive of Boston, presently is as
signed to the Office of Inter-

in the Defense Department. He
succeeds Rear Admiral Frank
Fenno. who suffered a mild
stroke several weeks ago from
which he is now recovering in
the Naval Hospital at Chelsea.
Mass.
The Guantanamo command
has assumed added Importance
in recent weeks because of the
attitude of the Castro govern
ment toward the base, which
was established by treaty.
United States officials gener-
ally doubt that Prime Minister
Fidel Castro plans, at this time.
a direct military attack to seize
the base. But they are on the
alert for incidents which the
Cuban government might pre-
cipitate to harass the Ameri-
cans on the base.
Since Admiral Fenno left
Guantanamo last month, Capt.
c. w. Schoenweiss, commander
Of the air station there, has
served as acting chief of the
naval base.
Admiral O'Donnell is ex-
pected to take over at the base
early next month.
He served during most of
World War II in the Pacific.
He was gunnery officer of the
carrier Lexington when she
