PORTO RICO TO NEED 5 YEARS FOR RECOVERY Ruin Worse in Proportion Than in Mississippi Flood Area. By Times Special NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—lt will be 1933 before Porto Rico recovers completely from the effects of the tropical hurricane that ravaged the island Sept. 13. A half million per-sons—one-third of the entire population—are destitute, living through the aid of the Red Cross or subsisting on potatoes and bananas mercifully left by the storm. More than 25.000 people have been treated for influenza, grip and other effects of exposure and privation. Property damage will exceep SIOO,000,000. Such is the situation in Porto Rico today, as summarized by Thomas E. Bender, chancellor of the University of Porto Rico, in a report published in the November issue of the Review of Reviews. Appeals to United States Chancellor Benner appeals to the people of the United States to realize that the disaster is more serious in proportion to the population affected than ever the Mississippi floods of last year. Although the chief cities, particularly San Juan, escaped with relatively little damage, the rural districts occupied by the vast bulk of the people, literally were flattened, leaving the people not only without homes, but in many cases with the crops from which they derive their existence destroyed for the season, he says. A survey of the rural regions just completed shows that “114.000 homes of farm laborers, housing approximately 570,000 people, were destroyed: that 54,000 homes of farm laborers, housing approximately 270,000, were unroofed, and that only 32,000 such homes escaped serious injury.” says the Review of Reviews report. In many instances a single hut has been found housing as many as seven families. Aid Vital "It gs““r~:!y is agreed that federal assistance will be absolutely necessary,” says Chancellor Benner. “This must include assistance to farmers, already being given through the federal land bank, and assistance to the insular government, which will have great difficulty in collecting even the taxes to carry on a normal program, to say nothing of financing reconstruction of roads, bridges and public buildings.” Deaths resulting immediately from the storm are estimated as far above 500, “but this does not include the deaths which since have resulted Arom injuries, exposure and disease, Chancellor Benner. BROTHERS join army 252 Sets in Uncle Sam's Fighting Forces. Bn Times Special WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.—A survey of the United States army shows that 252 sets of brothers are serving in the same units, according to an announcement from headquarters at Governors island. Os these, ten are sets of three brothers each. Brothers not serving in the same unit are not counted in the survey. The Twenty-ninth infantry, stationed at Ft. Beming, Ga., leads with twenty-six two-brother sets, and in the three-broiher category the Eighth infantry leads with three sets. ASK FOR ENGINEERS Petition Jackson for Fund to Push Utility Merger Survey. Commissioners Harvey Harmon and Howell Ellis of the public serv-. ice commission called on Governor Ed Jackson Friday to present their request for money from the emerency fund to hire four engineers and four auditors in the $70,000,000 Insull utility merger case. They suggested the sum of $7,000 be given for the survey and Jackson declared he would take the matter under advisement. The merger effects 250 Indiana towns and cities and includes railroad, light, gas and water companies.

By Ctiitca Press PARIS, Nov. 3.—As soon as the reported arrival at a Venezuelan fishing village of the escaped lifeterme. Dr. Pierce Bougrat, is confirmed officially, the French government intends formally to request his extradition. The minister of colonies, who has jurisdiction over the penal colony of Devil’s Island in French Guiana, from which the convict escaped, has expressed the belief that the Venezuelan government would readily comply with the extradition request. “I think we can count on the willing cooperation of the Venezuelan police,” he said, “but we must bear in mind that the escaped prisoner will not allow himself to be recaptured easily.” PEGGY NOT TO WED Denies Marriage to Lord Northesk Will Take Place Soon.

APks at War Fierce Political Battles Waged at Elks Club for Radio.

WAR —for the possession of the Elks Club radio has been waged for the last few weeks So far the Democratic cohorts led by Frank Manning have been successful in their battle to use it for listening to speeches by A1 Smith and Joe Robinson. This has been accomplished by a strategic movement executed by Manning with the assistance of E. J. Fitzgibbons. Manning seats himself before the dials at 4 each afternoon and remains there until relieved for dinner by Fitzgibbons. Asa concession to the Hoover rooters living at the club, Charles 'Pop' Crowe, Manning permits a moment of Republican speechmaking to be heard, immediately followed by hours of Democratic spellbinding. Revolt against the Manning rule of the radio was unsuccessful until Thursday night, when the Hoover ranks received support in John Ritchie, J. E. Wells and Charles Howland. Ritchie is president of the “defensive association." Wells is vicepresident, and Crowe secretarytreasurer. although the organization has neither funds nor records. Members of the club today were eagerly awaiting what disposition General Ritchie would make of his forces in order to obtam control of the radio tonight. EXPENSIVE NECESSITY Railroad Dining Cars Bring Loss to New York Central. P.y Times Special NEW YORK, Nov 3.—Dining cars are an expensive necessity for the New York Central lines.

The publication says that, although the 156 restaurants on wheels operated in 1927 earned gross revenues of $5,760,338, the cost of operation was $7,032,798. In other words, the railroad system suffered a loss of $1,272,460 on dining cars, which are considered an indispensable adjunct of through passenger service.
