‘Beg Pardon, You're Under Arrest’

Aerial, naval and artillery attacks were reported in the west today as Adolf Hitler shifted Germany's war strength from defeated—but still defiant—Poland to oppose the Allied fighting forces. French and German heavy artillery duelled along the

IGELES, Sept. 25 (U. P..! LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25 (U. P nents.

—Violent winds and torrential rains swept over southern California today claiming many lives and causing extensive property damage. Coming in the wake of an unprecedented September heat wave, winds of 65-miles-an-hour velocity swept in off the sea capsizing boats along the chore and sending mountainous waves beating into the coastline. In the Coachella district of the Imperial Valley crop damage was estimated at 75 per cent.

30 Known Missing

It was impossible to calculate with accuracy the number of lives lost or the extent of property damage. Nearly 30 persons were known missing and it was feared the total dead might far exceed that figure. Among all the victims believed to have drowned in the small boat disasters, only one bhodv had been washed ashore. That was the unidentified body of a woman found at the Point Hueneme lighthouse. At least five deaths in the surf were reported. Two died at Los Angeles Harbor, two at Long Beach and one at Newport Beach,

24 on Boat Feared Lost

Most serious casualty of the gale was the 30-feoot fishing boat Spray. Of the 26 persons aboard it only two were accounted for. The other 24 or their bodies were expected to be found on a jetty reaching into the surf from Point Magu 753 miles north of here. In Hollywood, fears were expressed for the safety of 25 employees of the M-G-M Studio who were unreported aboard the fishing boat Falcon. Four Navy Coast Guard cutters patroled shoreline calls.
