Hurricane Audrey, the season's first, was born as a Gulf of Mexico squall in a wide low-pressure area. As it blew north, U.S. weather bureaus warned the Gulf Coast that a dangerously violent storm was on the way. But the bayou people of extreme southwestern Louisiana felt secure in their swamp-girded isolation and their simple faiths ("I wasn't much afraid," said one woman, "because the Lord told us he would never destroy this earth with water again").

Seaton has refitted McKay policy in another Interior problem: the continuing deficit in operations of the Southwestern Power Administration, an Interior Department subsidiary. To make up the deficit, McKay proposed a 40% increase on power supplied by the administration to rural electric cooperatives. Seaton sliced the coops' rate increase to 27½%, suggested other revenue by increasing rates on power supplied to private power companies. He also demanded that a 30-year contract between Southwestern Power and the Reynolds Metals Co., fashioned by Truman Interior Secretary Oscar Chapman, be renegotiated to allow higher rates...
