Coast Guard Begins Search
Seventy-Five Missing In Recent Storm
By United Press
Frantic relatives and friends were still attempting to learn the fate oi about 75 missing persons tonight as the coast guard ordered a systematic search of wrecked boats
and debris along sfcuthem California’s storm-strewn coastline.
The missing were pn boats unreported since they put out to sea Sunday when a sudden hurricane-wlnd and rain swooped up from the tropics. Forty-four were dead, or believed dead.
Hope that some of the persons missing might be safe was aroused when seven persons from the wrecked 35-foot sloop Conchita were brought into Los Angeles harbor. Members of the party told a story of battling with the sea when they atempted to sail back to the mainland from a week-end cruise to Catalina island. The Conchita. dismasted and abandoned, was found drifting three miles off Santa Monica breakwater while the party took refuge on the gambling barge Texas.
All facilities of the coast guard were turned into the search for missing craft, but late today the j search had developed nothing to change the general situation. Cut- I ters were under orders to make a new survey of the 200 miles from Santa Barbara to San Diego.
Other members of the 1939 staff included: Bill Cook, Eunice Launer, Dick Fish. Jean Meredith, Bill Meeves, Winifred Clare, Bob Stevenson, Bob Franklin, Esther L’-Ecluse, Mort Brigadier, Kathryn

STUDIED IN PARIS
Frank was born in Belgium in 1822 and educated there until the age of fifteen, when he was sent to Paris to study piano. He was destined to become a great teacher as well as a great organist and composer. Filled with the tradition of Bach, Beethoven, and Wagner, Frank influenced musical thought of his contempories as well as hin successors.
COLOR CERTAIN
The Symphony in D Minor shows the great extent of Frank’s symphonic and harmonic development. Always certain of his colors, his feeling for harmony is intensified and strengthened by the way Frank treats his themes in “cycle” fashion.
