WOW....any way to get the full date of the San Diego paper with the EL crash? I'd like to research the crash and see which EL that was (I grew up in the Bronx).

judging by the other news of the day, I'd guess late 1930's.

Reading some of the visible text you can see it was January 18th and it was a Monday.  From other parts of the paper it had to have been during WWII  (note the bottom right of the third post - "until the war's blackout on weather forecasting ends."   A quick check of years during WWII with January 18th as a Monday would make it January 18th 1943

jan, 19th, 1942

Nope, too young.

  I had spotted the weather bit too, but never knew there were weather forecast blackouts during WW-II. 

Sounds like Mr Cooper was pretty good at "guessing"

from my grandparents house, / uncle,  I also have the complete paper , when japan attacked,  it's tied up still.  grandparents  think that my grandfather saved it,,as an x navy man.   I have looked at it, but didn't un tie it,  one of these days,
