Legion (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) countries a Pacific counterpart of the North Atlantic Treaty. Internal Bickering: Internal bickering among top Legion officials, past and present, broke out at the national executive committee session. National Commander Perry Brown of Beaumont.

Texas, touched off the squabble. Brown denied charges made by past National Commander Frank N. Bclgrano Portland, that the Legion is influenced by "kingmakers and politicians'' and is bankrupt. Belgrano stuck to his accusations. He said further that present Legion leadership "discriminates against the veteran of World War II." "Precarious Condition" Brown told the committee the Legion's finances were in a "precarious condition" and urged convention passage of a dues increase.

Four past national commanders defended Legion leadership. Meantime, some 4,000 members of the 40 and 8 the Legion's fun and honor group are holding their own convention.

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I would say that the $40,000,000 estimate is perhaps high, but exact totals remain to be counted." Citrus growers thought damage might run as high as 20 per cent of the crop. Warren O'Johnson, head of the Lakeland weather bureau, said it might well be as great as in the 1944 hurricane, which caused a 20 per cent loss.

Estimates Fruit Damage A high industry figure, who refused to be quoted by name estimated the loss at 20,000.000 boxes of fruit three fourths of it grapefruit. Property damage also ran high but without estimate. At West Palm Beach where the big fellow threw his Sunday punch late Friday, 16 big transport planes and 24 private craft were wrecked at International Airport! A metal and concrete hangar also was reduced to junk. A 250-mile stretch of the beach playgrounds suffered. Roofs, neon signs, palm trees, loese boards, and debris hurtled through the air to be smashed.

Radio towers and electric lines were brought to the ground. About 60 persons were reported injured. One man was dead. In the American handmade glass industry, a water pitcher is never spoken of as a pitcher. Glassworkers always call it a "jug." Hopeful 50 More Mink Needed Mrs.

Earle Leu, 709 Highland avenue, was one mink closer to a fur coat yesterday afternoon following an unexpected visit from one of the wary little creatures. It all happened shortly before the Leu family sat down for their Sunday dinner. A hurried call from their neighbors, the Ed Finks, informed them that one of the valuable little fur-bearers was making its way toward the Leu homestead, via the backyard. The children from botn lami-1 lies dragged out an old Indian hunting trick, encircled the wary animal and drove it into an outdoor entrance to the Leu cellar. There a fish landing net was pressed into service and the animal's freedom was brought to an abrupt end.

Throught the wire of an improvised cage the animal appeared to be full grown and showed nogreat fear of its captors. The latter tendency made Art Bruck-ert. local zoo keeper, think the animal may have escaped from a nearby mink farm. No reports have been made of any missing minks, however. Bruckert took Hurricane i i I i The Nation's 1949 polio cases numbered more than 19,500 today, but the rate of new infections appeared to be slackening.

Approximately 3,900 new cases from Aug. 1-8 to 27 reflected more than a 20 per cent reduction from the previous 9-day period when 5,000 were reported. However, this was still well a-bove the 3.000 cases reported during the first 9-day period of August. The latest Associated Press survey showed actual declines in new cases reported during the past week in six states Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kan- MILWAUKEE GIRL DIES Milwaukee (JP) A 15-year-old east side Milwaukee girl died of bulbar polio yesterday, City Health Commissioner Dr. E.

H. Krumbiegel reported. Her death is the third polio fatality in the city this season. There has been; one non-resident death. Last year at this time the figures were 10 dead from the city and five non-resident deaths.

sas, Maine, and North Dakota. Illinois, with 1,502 cases and 111 deaths this year, is the third state in numerical incidence. Arkansas, too, has been hard hit, with 707 cases and 35 deaths. Further Encouragement Further encouragement came from health officials of nine other states including the two with heaviest 1949 case totals that there were indications of leveling off in new reports of the disease. These states were Indiana, Massachusetts.

Michigan. Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. New York, with 2,429 cases and 141 deaths, topped the list of states. But in New York City, where 1,433 of the state's patients and 114 of the dead were reported, the Health Department declared the epidemic is now in a fluctuating period before an imminent decline. The State Health Department said New York's peak is expected in September.

In Texas, which has 1.552 cases, there have been minor drops in new reports durinnr the last two weeks. State Health Officer George Cox said he hoped this indicates leveling off. Michigan's Health Department said the case load rnpear-ed to be leveling eff although there was no marked decline in new caces: te cases there totaled 313 this year. Still Mounting in 3 States However the case rates an peared still to be mounting in Connecticut. Rhode Island, and New Jersey.

Jn Connecticut, nearly one fourth of this year's 210 cases were reported last week. There were only three instances of plans to delay school openings because of polio. Milwaukee set back its school opening date cne week, to Sept. 13, after three years of polio postponements. Some rural Iowa schools were advised to delay opening.

In O-klahoma. a few schools planned late opening despite a State Health Department recommendation that schools open on schedule. In Massachusetts, one official declared children in school "would be under the eyes of school authorities trained to watch for developing polio." There were still unusual precautions against -the disease in some areas: Snohomish County, around Everett, banned children from theaters and city beaches and ordered those under 14 to stay at home. There were cancellations of children's outings in North Dakota where swimming pools at Fargo and Valley City were closed. But Springfield.

111., lifted its quarantine on youngsters 16 and under. 395 Cases in "Wisconsin Eight states have had fewer polio cases to date' this year than during the comparable period last year. These included California where 1,182 cases for 1949 was still well under the mark for the same period of 1948. Other, states with fewer cases than last year were Delaware. Florida, Georgia.

Nebraska, North Carolina. South Carolina, and Virginia. Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, and the District of Columbia had a very slight increase this year. The survey showed 19,591 cases reported in the nation to Aug. 27.

This was far ahead of 1948. a near record year, when 11,409 cases were reported to Aug. 27. The survey reports 395 cases in Wisconsin so far this year, which is considerably more than twice the number for the same period in 1948 when the State had 151 cases. Eleven polio death have been reported in Wisconsin.

There were six deaths for the same period in" 1948. Sodal Situations SITUATION: Your child mis behaves when you have guests.

There now are 32 capercaiHie and a number of black grouse both giant-size varieties of European grouse being acclimated cn the island in an effort to learn whether they will be satisfactory as American game birds.
