RED GROSS FACES TRENENDOUS TASK Must Aid Florida And Also Porto Rico ‘Washington, Sept. 19 (UP)— The Red Cross faced today the task of aiding in burying hurricane dead and of succéring the living. While workers toiled to get food and medicine to survivors of the west Indian hurricane which. crush- ed Porto Rico, the Bahamas, Flor- fda and other places, a tragic ap- peal for coffins for Florida reach- ed headquarters here. The number of Florida dead was still uncertain, Known totals late last night ran below seventy, with 645 injured; but there were reports to the Red Cross and in United Press dis- patches which hinted the final totar would be between 100 and 200 dead and perhaps more. Appeal for Coffins Out of Fort Myers came the ap- peal for coffins. Margaret 8hepherd of the chap- ter there advised that pleas were arriving for coffins for the dead of Okeechobee, South Bay, Miami Locks and Bear Beach in the lake Okeechobee territory. 8he had been unable to establish contact with the east coast relief unit, but was able to advise the main offices where today hundreds of dollars were pouring in from u nation whose heart was touched by the hurrieane tragedy. She was told that if public funds were available, the Red Cyoss would see that the victims had de- cent. burial at the organization's ex- pense. . And while there were thoughts for the dead, the question of car- ing for the living arose. Typhoid, that scourge which rides with the whirlwind, had to be pre- vented. The Parke Davis company offered 10,000 units of typhoid ser- um which the Red Cross in turn offered to the Florida health de- partment. Physiclans and disaster experts were assigned to Florida. Iood was mobilized for the Porto Ricans, 700,000 of whom are esti- mated by Gov. Horace Towner to be bungry and homeless as a result of the hurricane. . Storm Lessens Meantine, the peak of the hurri- cane had passed. The storm which Jiad broght death and destruction through the tropics was swirling northward along the Alantic coast, its fury lessened and now listed as a “whole gale” rather than a hur- ricane. It turned its blasts last night onto the Virginia capes. Gov. Martin of Florida asked aid of the war department and the ad- jutant general advised the fourth corps arca at Atlanta to give the state all possible aid. Atlanta was told to forward 1,000 cots to West Palm Beach by the first available train. Meantime, from Porto no need—as hinted in press advit for martial law. The police, he said, were in control, and 2,000 national guardsmen have been ordered to help them. He spoke of a spirit of cooperation fn the island and re- portgd relief measures were pro- ceeding, Wwith communications of some kind now reestablished to all dustricts. Tail End of Storm Strikes New England Boston, Mass., Sept. 19 (UP) — The tail end of the tropical hurri- cane that has wreaked its havoe on Florida and Porto Rico swept up the New England coast today. Although greatly weakened dur- ing its northward progress, the hur- ricane still managed to give Boston and southern New England quite & “blow.’ It was raining along the coast and a northeast wind was blowing.

An engagement with R. B. Crea- ger, national committeeman {or that state, was at the head of his list as the republican presidential nominee returned to his desk at his personal headquarters, There were few other appoint- ments, however, for the strain of two days of vigorous campaigning through the industrial towns of northern New Jersey had made it- self felt. During that time the can- didate was whirled through more than a score of towns, and delivered one prepared speech, another ex- temporaneous one and spoke briefly at almost half a dozen other times in Newark, Paterson, Jersey City, Trenton and elsewhere. 5 Thousands See Him Thousands of persons saw him as he passed through territory which obviously is to be a battleground of the campaign. Feor the most part they applauded him, but there were times during the tours through Newark and Jersey City when he passed through silent streets and be- neath banners flaunting the names of his democratic opponents, % At Jersey City, where he came to the very border of the home town of his democratic opponent, Gover- nor Alfred E. 8mith, the republican candidate heard hisses when the man intreducing him referred to the governor of New York asa servant of Tammany. Hoover gave no sign, however, and thanked the crowd for its enthusiastic reception, and left the hall in the midst of hearty applayse. His return to Washington found him with more than two weeks to devote to direction of the campuign and preparation for his next cam- vaign move. On October 6, he will RO to Elizabethton, Tennessee o deliver the second address of the four he plans to make in the cast and south. , Discusses ¥arm Relier Already the nominee has dis- cussed farm rellef and labor, the former at West Branch, Jowa, and | = = | Police Question Girl = About “Murder Farm” Vancouver, B.
