Cotton Raisers To Gain By Limiting Acreage
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—«t If— It cotton farmers limit cultivation next ycai to 24 862.000 acres they will receive *126 188010 In government benefits, the agricultural adjustment administration estimated today.
The 1931-35 cotton control program. it was explained, calls for a
■	eduction of 40 per cent from the avenge annual planting between 1928 and 1932. which was 41 437.000 acres. Carrying out the program in full would mean an approximate 1934 crop yic’.d of 3.287.000 bales compared to the present Indicated U'op of 13.000.000 bales.
Particular attention Is being devoted by the government to future restriction of the cotton crop since the yield this year is piling up be- i yond 12.000,000 bales despite the millions of acres plowed under or abandoned.
Bodies of Doty Twin Brothers Found in Gulch
Storm Brings Death to Former Yel! Leaders Attending Party

Tragedy that rode in the wake of the storm which swept southern California New Year's eve left lls mark on the S.C. campus yesterday when l he bodies ot Winston and Weston Doty, twin brothers and tormer Trojan yell leaders, and thru of Clark Harmon, former stu-clrnL in Letters, Arts, and Sciences, were found in a ravine near the Montrcse home where they had gone lo celcbratc the passing of i he old year.
The Dot.vs, together with Harmon and Olndys Fisher ol Venice and Mary Jane Cox of Santa Monica, had gone to the home of Henry Hesse, resident of Montrose and an S.C .graduate, to attend a New-Year's party. At midnight the twins pliotiod their wishes for a Happy New Year to their mother at their Lome in Venice.
Swept Away
Twenty minutes later as members ol the party stood on I he porch of Hesse's dwelling viewing the flood that was swirling pas!, a torrent of water descended upon the croup, sweeping the Dotys end Harmon to their deaths. Miss Cox escaped, as did Mr. and Mrs. Hesse, but Miss Fisher is missing.
Students In the College of Architecture. where the Dotys were enrolled in 1931 and 1932, had known the twins as inseparable companions end brilliant students. A year after graduating from Venice high school, the two brothers entered S.C. and at the end of their freshman teims were named yell leaders. in which capacity they served undei Bally Kdgertcn. yell king, during the 1932 grid season when the Trojan team won I lie national title.

Roosevelt’s Message to 73 rd Congress Awaited
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2—d.l!'— The eve of congress found Washing.on wondering whether President Roosevelt's reported decision lo deliver his message tomorrow in person presaged a surprise request for some unpredicted legislation.
Oovcrnineiit departments held down their usual number ot announcements apparently awaiting the presidents message to learn what to announce. Democratic congressional leaders continued to promise support for the president s program, while Republicans unobtrusively conferred with each other over the dark prospects ahead
Party lines seem likely to mean less than ever at this session, although the bulk of Democrats will vote for most of the things the president wants and the bulk of Republicans probably will vote against them for the recjrd without attempting to obstrurt their passage. Senator Gla.c.s and other
conservative Democrats are unlikely to abandon their beliefs to support phases of the program which they consider dangerous; while the lett wing Republicans are expected in the mam to .loin the Democrats.
Senator Hiram Johnson, when he returned from California before Christmas, conferred with the president and talked of ' party realignments. " Republican progressives — although som» of them oppose the NRA as an encouragement of trusts arc close to the reorganized and liberalized department of arglculture in thrtr farm views. The threat of Republican liberal defection has become so great that Senator McNar yesterday named several progressives to the congressional campaign committee, and announced the party organization would support all candidates next fall who bear the Republican label. Irrespective of Uicir platforms.

Homes were left with floors covered with silt, furniture warped and b. oken. rugs ruined. Garages on the bank of the wash had been swept away, and the ruined automobiles were found hundreds of leet downstream.
Residents told tragic stories of the flood. With the coming of the torrent, many had fled from t!;eir homes seeking higher ground only to be dragged to death in the waters that swirled over lawns and through the streets. Had they stayed Indoors they would have been safe.
Others, looked from their doorsteps and saw struggling victims el the storm being swept to their death in the rushing waters, but were powerless to save them, so swift was the current that was tearing a path of destruction through Glendale.
The flood tore out iargr trees, as debris piled up against them but left little shrubs and hedges stand-ine.
Moving vans followed the CC.C. woikers yesterday, hauling away the belongings of families who were deserting their damaged homes. Thousands of cars blocked Brand boulevard, the only bridge over Verdugo wash In Glendale, and blinding clouds of dust arose fro.n streets as the fine silt dried under a warm sun.
Legionnaires deputy sheriffs, and special police patrolled the afflicted area, keeping sightseers out of tlie eiistrict and preventing motorists from driving into sand-clogged streets. More protection was needed however, for many residents reported their homes had been ransacked b' prowlers after the flood waters had receded
Only a trickle of water was flowing diwn Verdugo wash, making the giant rushing torrent of early Monday seem almost an impossibility.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.—aM!)— The all-American canal project, a Riant undertaking designed to water great areas of the dry Southwest. struck two official snags today which may delay construction for some time.
Commissioner Elwood Mead of I lie reclamation bureau rejected nil bids submitted for earthwork. They were loo high, he said lie had been instructed by R. F Walker, interior department engineer Investigating the canal project.
Local Difficulties
Public Works Administrator Harold L. Ickes said earlier that local difficulties must be settled before he would take final action on the project, which involves an allotment of $6,000,000.
The P W.A. is rapidly coming to the conclusion, he said, that local Interests tn the Imperial valley would have to 'settle their own local difficulties" and the prc»spect lor settlement is "none too good."
Ickes indicated that a hearing on the canal question may be held heri soon.
Criticises
The interests .vliom he criticized "want to hire whom they please and pay what wages they please with our money," Ickes remarked.
“Too many people arc wanting this money,” he added, referring to the $6,000,000 allotment.
In view of apparent local dissatisfaction over bids presented. Ickes continued, "we Invited the district to come In and bid against the contractors." His invitation was not accepted, he said.
Ickes Impatience with the complexities of the project apparently was reflected in Mead's rejection order, since the reclamation bureau ls a branch of the interior department.
39 Known Dead In New Year’s Day Cloudburst

The roll of a new year's cloud* burst disaster In metiopolltan L/'$ Angel.'-, stood last night at 39known dead and 71 missing, while receding I'ood waters disclosed the full extent of heavy property damage.
As re.cue crews pressed deeper into flooded communities, the list, of missing decreased and the list of dead grew In proportion.
Little hope was held for those unaccounted for, and authorities feared the death lift, iT'Icht ultimately reach 100 The total list, in ay never be known, since many bodies possibly were washed out, to sea or buried beneath huge masses of debris.
From Sister CiMe»
The bulk of the dead and miss* ing were from Glendale. Montrose, and La Cresconta. sister cities at tlir base of the foothills from which Monday morning's cloudburst poured a wall of death.
An 18-lnch rainfall In the foothills. denuded by a recent brush tire, sent a mass of water into the | cities that uprooted houses. tor» out bridges, precipitated landslides and dealt denth with a wreckless hand Surveys of the stricken area brought estimates of damage run* ning Into the millions.
Channel Plugged
Houses, automobiles, and bodies were hurled down Verdugo wash, a concrete lined channel 60 feet wide and 10 feet deep.
Accumulated wreckage soon plugged the channel and diverted the huge wall of water through tha upper reaches of Glendale, where scores of additional homes were wrecked.
At one narrow spot ir. the canyon, the water was rushing 30 feet deep
Included among victims supposed swept to sea Were Phyllis Brook, 17. Wendall Farr, 19, and Virginia

Hurt China, Educators Say
NANKING. China. Wednesday. Jan 3.—il.l!) —Two University of Nanking educators declared today that remonetization ot sliver by the United States and other American nations would result in a severe buslm ss depression In China and a further reduction of Chinese im-porU of foreign goods.
Dr. Ardon B Lewis and Mr Chang Lu-Luan, both of the department of agricultural economics ot the College of Agriculture and Forestry at the University of Nanking, made the assertion.
They have completed a survey of the purchasing price of silver in China, the United States and England over a period of years and the monthly Indices of wholesale prices In Shanghai and North China compiled by the national tariff commission and the Nankul Institute of economic.-.
All evidence the two economists held indicates the 'alsity of the belief that remonetization of sliver by the United Stales would result In Increased purchasing power of 'ilver and consequently Increased
I buying power of China in world
I market a.
| They found that the Chinese price level has been declining since (he middle of 1931, when the world ; purchasing power of sliver began to ! increase. Considerable economic j distress In China has already resulted. In order to avoid an In-rreaslngiy severe business depres-I sion. Dr. Lewis believes. China , should stabilize the price level by 1 adopting a commodity dollar based 1 on a variable amount of silver.
The commerce In sliver is worldwide and subject to few restrictions. he said, and any factor whlcn raises the purchasing power of silver for other goods tn foreign countries tends therefore to bring about a similar change In China. S nee Chinese currency is based on silver an increase in the purchasing power of silver in China is registered in a decline In the general level ol Chinese wholesale prices, while a decrease in the purchasing I power of silver is registered in a rise in Chinese w holesale prteas
