VANCOUVER, B. C., March 14 —(U.R)—Disastrous earthquakes in California between July 20 and August 5 were predicted today by Civil Engineer E. C. Thrupp, who successfully forecast 11 quakes in the last yeaf, including shocks in Turkey which cost thousands of lives.
Both predictions were made last June and registered with the Royal society, but the July temblor previously was not localized to California.
As made originally, the prediction said the period would "bring the most destructive earthquake of this century, probably in those countries where they have occurred before. The main shocks will come between 6 and 9 p.m. (PST). This occasion will compare with the disasters in Asia Minor on August 13 and September 5, 1882, when 20,000 people were killed.”

The Scandinavian bloc was Finland's idea, it was learned, and the subject was broached to Sweden and Norway three days ago. before the Finns signed their peace with the Soviet Union. At that time Fin-
