Nearing 400 Mark
By the Associated
Press
Corpus Christi, Sept. 20—With the known dead approaching the
400 mark and steadily increasing, residents of the Texas coast towns today
resumed their search for persons believed to have been lost in Sunday’s
hurricane.
The number of known dead today were 386, but many persons
were of the opinion that it would double that number when all the waterfronts
are visited.
In Corpus Christi proper conditions were becoming more
normal today. Although electric lights and street car service might not be
restored for some time, announcement was made that gas may be supplied in
certain sections.
According to a statement by the central relief committee, a
clothing and financial assistance constitute the immediate needs of the
residents and the people of the nation were called upon to render assistance.
The food situation was said to be satisfactory.
