Wall of Water Swamps Desert Town Killing Two
A 39 foot wall of water from Tropical Storm Kathleen swept Ocotillo and parts of the Imperial Valley. At least two people were killed and a third drowned earlier as high winds 90 mph blasted El Centro. Bridges washed out and roads closed isolating the area as rescuers with deputies and volunteers combed for victims. Rain totaled 8.5 inches in the mountains between Ocotillo and San Diego in 24 hours while Nevada and Arizona felt the storm's reach with a 76 mph wind and a fatal tree limb incident.

Catholic Leaders Encouraged By Ford's Abortion Views
Catholic Church leaders met with President Ford and voiced encouragement at his stance on abortion while noting they still seek stronger protections for the unborn. They contrasted Ford's position with Carter's, pressing for a constitutional amendment or stronger state action to regulate abortion within the framework of the 1973 ruling. The meeting followed Carter’s march through Wisconsin and Illinois amid campaign debates over abortion and party unity as the race tightens.
