Forest Fire Menaces Santa Paula Canyon in Wide Sweep
A massive forest fire roared through Santa Paula canyon in Ventura County, devouring about 20 000 acres of brush and timber as it threatened Santa Paula town. Firefighters, now 180 additional men, battled 1500 already on scene amid 30 mile per hour winds while smoke drifted over the city and ash fell within limits. Ferndale and other properties faced danger as fires spread over Topa Topa Ridge toward the canyon plateau.

In a speech to a silver country crowd, the New York governor argues for a policy to restore railroads to financial health without receiverships. He stresses efficiency, safety, and permanent employment, and critiques highway expansion for siphoning freight from rails while urging coordinated transport systems and responsible lending. He cites railroad bond ownership by savers and institutions and backs the Reconstruction Corporation with caveats.
