4 MORE PERISH IN FLOOD; TOLL PUSHEDJO 23 Property Damage Running Into Millions in Stricken Northwest Area. By United Press PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 26.—Avalanches spread anew terror today in the flood-stricken areas of the northwestern states, where unusually heavy rainfall and high tides spread death and destruction over Washington, Oregon and Idaho. The list of deaths attributed to storm conditions reached twentythree when four members of a single family were killed near Clatskanie, Oregon. A torrent of mud. logs and boulders, swept along by O. K. creek, crushed the home of Robert Allen, 50, and killed the owner of the house and his three sons, George, 30; Robert, 12, and Donald, 7. Mrs. Allen and two other children escaped injury. Two Buried in Landslide Donald, whose body was missing, was seen trying to rescue a pet dog before the slide carried him away. An earlier landslide on the Maph Valley road, south of Seattle, buried two women and injured two men. Weather forecasts for rain and more snow during the day brought little cheer to 5,000 refugees whose homes were in the inundated areas of Washington and Oerogn. Flood waters receded somewhat at Aberdeen and Hoquiam, Wash., but an overflow of the Spokane river in Peaceful valley drove fifty families to higher ground. Kelso still was inundated in the southern section. Damage at $5,000,000 The first transcontinental train to reach Seattle since last Thursday steamed into the city with a capacity load Christmas day.

‘Sailor Beware,’ Gotham Hit, May Be Seen Here BY WALTER D. HICKMAN
Does Indianapolis want to see and | hear the “broadest language play” the New York stage ever has had? That is the question of Arthur M. Oberfelder, who is keeping the legitimate stage alive here and in other cities. Mr. Oberfelder, in wiring holiday greetings to me asked me if I, thought it wise to present "Sailor Beware,” said to be the hottest talk and action play the New York stage ever has had, in Indianapolis and the other cities on tour. I wired him back and gave as my personal opinion that it would be all j right to do it on tcur. It was writ- 1 ten by Kenyon Nicholson of Craw- j fordsville, Indianapolis and New York. The fact is, “Sailor Beware” is conceded by all observers of Broadway activities to be one of the most successful and outstanding hits in New York at the present time. Burns Mantle in Sunday’s Chicago Tribune, in discussing a theatrical menu for an imaginary Main Street character on a visit to New York City, suggests a visit to “Sailor Beware.” The New York dramatic critic says that “Sailor Beware" is just the kind of play to discuss at home over the bridge tables. “The first of these is the terribly rowdyish ‘Sailor Beware.’ A frank story of a sailor’s pursuit of a lady of the cases who wanted to play hardboiled and make her own rules. Not nice in a Bucyrus way, but rough and funny. Goes even better with its audiences since repeal than it did before, although goodness knows they made noise enough then,” Mr. Mantle wrote. I am throwing my hat in the ring and hope that Mr. Oberfelder will bring it to Indianapolis. Mr. Oberfelder also informs me that he has booked “Autumn Crocus” and “Pursuit of Happiness.” He is getting all the new plays, it seems, as he now is offering at Eng-

DRUG TRADE TO i BACK NEW BILL' FOR REGULATION Favors Beal Measure as Substitute for Tugwell Control Proposal. By Times Special WASHINGTON. Dec. 26. The Beal bill, an amendment to the food and drugs act. will be introduced at the next session of congress as a substitute for the so-called Tugwell bill, which has been the subject of lengthy discussion in the drug trade. The aim of the Beal bill, according to its supporters, is to correct deficiencies in the food and drugs act and to include government supervision over cosmetics and advertising. Dr. James H Beal, author of the amendment, also is joint author of the Harrison anti-narcotic act and chairman of the board of the United States Pharmacopeia. The bill has the announced support of the National Drug Trade Association. Critics of the Tugwell measure in approving the Beal bill, charge that the former bill, if enacted, would jeopardize the jobs of nearly two million workers in food, drug, cosmetic and allied industries. They also claim evasion of authorship of the Tugwell bill, citing the disavowal of Senator Royal S. Copeland, who introduced the bill at the last session of congress. The Beal bill, according to its sponsors, would modify some features of the Tugwell measure without destroying its constructive aims. This same group attacks severely Professor Tugwell as a “radical,” and compares his proposed change in drug relations with technocracy. Halstead street, Chicago, is seven miles long; on it live representatives of practically every race in the world.
