Mutual Orange Distributors Moving To Set Price Floor to Valencias The Weather LOS ANGELES (UP)—Rain, amog, heat and high tides made Southern Californians miserable today. The Weather Bureau forecast the mercury in Los Angeles would approach yesterday's 92. the high for this year. It was 86 downtown at 11 a.m., paralleling yesterday's reading. Early showers spotted the region. Burbank had .01 of an inch. Riverside reported .02. Glendale recorded a trace and North Hollywood .03. The bureau promised it would be cooler tomorrow. At Long Beach, eight persons were evacuated by lifeboat last night as high tides flooded their homes. Two of them were pregnant women. Pitcairn Island, midway between the United States and Australia, was not inhabited until 1790 when mutineers from the British ship, Bounty, landed there. Mutual Orange Distributors, California's second largest citrus marketing cooperative has taken the lead in seriously considering "the establishment of a price floor or other means which might be employed to strengthen and stabilize the market for California and Arizona citrus." A resolution to the effect was offered by board member J. W. Grill of Garden Grove asking that Chairman Frank S. Gunter appoint a committee to investigate its possibilities. Mr. Gunter referred the resolution to the executive committee for early consideration. Theoretically, prices for California and Arizona citrus are based on supply and demand. It works like this: Following an estimate of the tree crop of a specific variety by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the Orange Administrative Committee sets a weekly volume prorate of fruit to be shipped. Much of this fruit is sold at eastern terminal auctions. Bidding is Ruin Great in 'Devil's Playground' As Kansans Dig Out of Giant Flood KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UP)—The Kaw River valley is a devil's playground of wrickage and ruin today, and the worst of it is in the eye of the people. The physical damage can be repaired, but— a window of the tavern. A heavy truck tire was flipped inside like a child's teething ring. Furniture, counters, heavy boxes were smashed against the rear wall and broken to bits by the debris riding the flood. Ruin Great in 'Devil's Playground' As Kansans Dig Out of Giant Flood KANSAS CITY, Mo. (F)—The Kaw River valley is a devil's playground of wreckage and ruin today, and the worst of it is in the eye of the people. The physical damage can be repaired, but— Shortly after midnight a week ago today, the river smashed the dikes in four places above North Topeka, and came hissing across the flats toward a small shopping district, surrounded by hundreds of homes. Most of the people, having been warned some 12 hours earlier, had already gone. When the word came, George White and his wife knew exactly what they would do. There were two other people in the White's little tavern on Kansas avenue, at that hour, Penny Coleman, the waitress, and Otis Stevens, the local plumber. Together, the four people first put the refrigerator up on blocks. It was brand new, delivered the day before. Then they went to the Whites' home and began carrying furniture upstairs to the second floor. They stripped the lower two rooms and kitchen bare of everything but the stove. That was too heavy. From there, they went back through the rain and steamy blackness, to Kansas avenue. The Whites own two apartments above a bakery there. The tavern, the apartments, and the furniture are all they have—or had. There was nothing more they could do, then, so the Whites boarded an Army truck and were taken to higher ground. Miss Coleman, who occupied one of the two apartments, said she intended to stay. "I was too tired to go anywhere. Besides, I had a chicken in the icebox." At dawn, Miss Coleman heard thunder on the ground and saw the wild brown plumes of the Kaw come foaming into the street. She saw a railway tie hurtle through a window of the tavern. A heavy truck tire was flipped inside like a child's teething ring. Furniture, counters, heavy boxes were smashed against the rear wall and broken to bits by the debris riding the flood. The twisting currents, in an odd caprice, took venetian blinds and twisted them, still hanging, till they looked like strings of macaroni. The waters rose about nine feet above street level, almost to the windows of the second floor. They have left a blanket of gummy brown mud on the stairs, nearly up to the landing. The Whites came back to North Topeka yesterday. Very little is left to them. They had worked together, in printshops, for 22 years to save enough for a start on the tavern and later the apartments. There is no such thing as flood insurance. Mrs. White said she thought that "somehow" they would get started again. "Anyway," she said, "I still have my furniture in the house. We're luckier than some people." About 20,000 people had to leave the flatlands around North Topeka. The Red Cross is housing, feeding and caring for many of them in the civic auditorium, 15 churches, five school buildings, the Masonic temple and the American Legion building in Topeka. They sleep on Army cots and there are games and movies for the children. The doctors and nurses in Topeka are giving their hours each day to guard against infections, and take care of the emergency cases, the pregnancies and broken bones and paralytic strokes. In one corner of the auditorium—oblivious to the racket of crying children and scolding mothers—two Negroes sat, playing dominoes. Across the room, a Mexican with an accordion played a sad Latin song. Citrus Market The California Fruit Growers Exchange reported today all auction markets California oranges were about unchanged.
