Gulf Storm Nearing
Louisiana Disables
Several Vessels
Winds Near Hurricane
Force; Another Blow
Reported at Haiti
By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 6.—Carry
ing winds close to hurricane force
of 75 miles an hour, a tropical
storm rumbled toward the Louisi
ana-Texas Gulf Coast today and
was slated to move inland near
Franklin, La., in a few hours.
The year's first severe Gulf dis
turbance already has disabled sev
eral vessels and persons in low and
exposed places between Bay St.
Louis, Miss., and Galveston, Tex.,
were warned to flee the dangerous
east and southeast winds and ac
companying flood tides.
The 8:30 a.m. (Central standard
time) Weather Bureau advisory
placed the center of the storm a
short distance southwest of Grand
Isle, La., moving west-northwest
ward at 7 to 8 miles an hour.
While this blow heralded the ar
rival of the tropical hurricane sea
son in the Gulf, the Jacksonville
(Fla.) Weather Bureau reported an
other disturbance moving west
northwestward near Turks Island
In easternmost Bahamas near Haiti.
Caution was advised in the South
eastern Bahamas, where the center
was supposed to pass late today,
but the bureau said the winds in
this storm were “only fresh to mod
erately strong’’ and showed little
tendency to rise.
Coast Guard officials said the
Greek freighter Oropos wirelessed it
was in distress about 30 miles south
of the mouth of the Mississippi
River and that the schooner J. W.
Clise of Tampa, Fla., had been
abandoned 135 miles south of the
river's mouth after the crew was
rescued.
Stiff winds were felt yesterday
along the Mississippi, Alabama and
Florida coasts. Some small craft
were swamped and seaside high
ways temporarily submerged. No
appreciable damage was reported,
however.
The Coast Guard said it had a
message indicating the 4,474-ton
Oropos lost both lifeboats, and
the rudder and steering apparatus
were damaged, putting the boat out
of control. A Coast Guard vessel
was en route to it.
The steamer Panamaco rescued
the captain and six sailors from
the four-master J. W. Clise when
the craft became waterlogged. A
Coast Guard boat was searching
for the derelict.

Fate of Lost Aviator
Discovered in Peru
Ewla* Galloway
Daredevil Dick Vernon (above), who disappeared “somewhere in
the South American jungle”, has been found—dead. A “G-Bat”
transport plane, flying oil its course, has just made the discovery,
and put an end to the many rumors about Vernon's fate. What
the G-Bat pilot found along with the wreckage makes one of the
weirdest of all Hoffman Birney’s current stories of aviation
below the Equator. Read “Glory Hunter”, Sunday, in This

Exhibit Demonstrates
Progress Hade by
Glass Industry
Commerce Department
Places Items on
Display in Lobby
Providing a graphic illustration
of the progress made by the glass
industry in streamlining its prod
ucts,* a glass exhibit has recently
been placed on display in the lobby
•of the Commerce Department.
The exhibit includes cooking uten
sils, laboratory and scientific ware,
redesigned %lass containers, glass
piping, architectural glass, heat
treated plate glass, glass chalkboard
and many types of fibrous glass.
Among the cooking utensils are
many which can be used directly
over a flame, such as coffee pots,
double boilers and frying pans.
The laboratory and industrial ware
includes the new “vycor” glass.
This glass, consisting of 96 per cent
silica, withstands higher tempera
tures than any other type. Of
particular interest to housewives
are the fibrous glass products, such
as draperies, lamp wicks and glass
hats and ties.
The principal features of the
glass container exhibit is the re- {
ductlon in weights achieved through
redesign. Bottles of identical
capacity now contain from 6 to
55 per cent less glass than the old
type designs. The department has
chosen for the exhibit 22 sets of
standardized bottles. Each set con
trasts the weights of an old style,
and a redesigned*bottle.
The latest quart bottle weighs
only 17 V4 ounces, compared with
the present standard bottle weigh
ing 22 ounces or more. The stream
lined beer bottle weighs less than
8 ounces, whereas the familiar long
necked export type weighs IS or
14 ounces. The lighter bottle, how
ever, contains the same amount of
beer.
