throughout the coastal area.
Unofficial estimates were that
the damage to the rice crop would
run into the millions. In Jefferson
county alone only 15 per cent of
75.000 rice acres had been har
vested. Almost nine inches of rain
fell at the coastal city of Beau
mont.
Galveston, island resort city
about 50 miles southeast of here,
caught the edge of the storm. But
it’s high sealwalls saved it from
great damage.
It> force diminishing, the hurri
cane headed toward the Palestine
Lfkin area of East Texas where it
was expected to hit early yester
day. A vast oil field is in that area
but little damage was expected.
The New Orleans weather bur
eau indicated the hurricane al
ready had lost much of its punch
when it hit Houston about 1:30
a.m. yesterday.
The bureau said it had lost its
clearly defined “eve”—the center
of the storm near which destruc
tion is greatest—when it reached
Houston.
Yesterday morning many of the
city's residents scoffed at the idea
that a hurricane had passed in the
night. "Lots of wind and lots of
rain, but no hurricane,” was the
verdict of hurricane-wise Houston
residents.

Freighter Lotlirop
TACOMA. </Pi—A enm"i jry re
straining order was involked Mon
day against four unions to halt

Issuances of the order followed
two minor skirmishes along the
waterfront wher the CIO marine

morning.
Superior judge Bartlett Hummel

as to why the order should not be
made permanent.

Sailors Union of the Pacific, which
won unanimous support from the
Lothrop’s crew' in national labor

end.
Cited in the order were the
Stewards Union, the Marine En

the American Radio Association,
all CIO, the Independent Marine

Introduce Two
Nc^ (ianie Birds
fBy Vern Haugland)
WASHINGTON. <A>)—Two new
game birds from Scandinavia are
to be introduced to American
hunting areas, a fish and wildlife
service official said last week.
They thrive in a climate similar
to that of the northern states. They
are hardy. They are good to eat.
And. said Dr. Dardiner Bump—
the man who rounded them up—
they are going to make very spor
ty shooting.
They are the European Lack
Grouse and the Capercallie.
The grouse is about what a
hunter would expect the grouse to
be, only bigger.
And the Capercallie?
“It looks as big as a turkey but
has a chunkier build.” Bump told
a reporter.
Bump returned last week from
a four-month field study of game
species in Sweden. Finland. Nor
way. Denmark and Scotland.
He sent back from Sweden more
than 50 grouse and capercallie.
‘‘If we get several hundred
birds, we may try them out in
Maine, in Idaho. Washington . nd
wes'ern Montana, and even :n
Alaska,” he said.
from California armed with billy
clubs, brass knuckles and base
ball bats.” The men left when a
police prowl car arrived at the
scene.
