Typhoon-Flood
(Continued from Page One)
groups of soldiers and civilians
were stranded at half a dozen
points. Plans were made to supply
by air an isolated unit of several
hundred cavalrymen at Camp Mc
Nair, near Mount Fuji.
The typhoon struck Monday
night, its center passing 30 miles
southeast of downtown Tokyo. It
was dissipating its force out to sea
yesterday after bringing violent
rafns that disrupted power dis
tribution and burst many river
levees. Nine inches of rain were
recorded at the headwaters of the
town.
i TOKYO. I/P) — Floodwaters of
the rampaging Tone river swept
to within two miles of Tokyo’s
eastern suburbs tonight as unoffi
cial estimates jumped to 2,947 the
number of dead, missing and in
jured in the typhoon-bred disas
ter.
A new levee creak on tne lone
river threatened to add new tons
of water to the wide stream
sweeping toward Tokyo. Advance
fingers of the flood were expected
to hit the suburbs sometime to
morrow. The entire district was
evacuated to the accompaniment
of warning sirens.
Kyodo news agency reported a
new compilation showed 774 dead.
158 injured and 2,017 missing
throughout the 20 prefectures re
porting storm damage. The offi
cial death toll was some 300 less
I than Kyodo’s figure.
Among the dead were two
American soldiers of the First
Division who drowned when their
truck ran into a washout near
Ojim last night.

Roost Taft For
Nomination
i ■ ■ —
En Route to San Diego with
Taft, (/P)—Senator Taft (R.-Ohio)
traveled south today for an aeriai
look at the Colorado river basin,
leaving behind in Los Angeles the
impression that jeering union pic
keters may go far toward project
ing him actively into the race for
the 1948 Republican Presidential
nomination.
Introduced before a Republican
gathering as possibly “the best
qualified man in the United States
for President,” Taft indicated that
he thought CIO and AFL pickets
who booed his entrance into the
hall might have lifted his political
prospects.
Associates have made no secret
of the fact that the Ohio Senator,
who heads the Senate’s Republi
can policy committee, is primarily
intent on his trip in finding out
if he stands a chance for election
before he decides on his return to
Ohio whether to campaign active
ly for his party’s nomination.
Taft told an audience of Repub
lican organization members jam
packed into the Los Angeles Elks
hall that a picket line had given
him “perhaps the noisiest session
I have had.” Police inspector An
thony Collins estimated the picket
line was composed of 300 union
members.

jFive Countries Now
1 At Peace Not
So Peaceful
i*
Five former enemy countries
j took their places yesterday as,
sovereign members of Europe’s
family of nations.
The birth of the international
free territory of Trieste, formed by
the peace makers from Italian
soil, was marked by a bloodless
border clash between American
and Yugoslav troops in which
the Americans fired a warning
| burst from a machinegun. The
j Yugoslavs sought to cross the
j frontier at a U. S. outpost instead
of at the prearranged area in the
south to join Britsih and U. S.
forces in the Allied occupation.
They yielded before the Ameri
can show of force.
Spreading strikes me n a c e d
Italy’s already shaky economy.
Some newspapers assailed as “in
famous”, the treaty which became
effective at 2 a.m.
The Allied control commissions
for Hungary, Romania and Bul
i
garia formally passed out of ex
istence.
Finland planned an official cel
ebration for Thursday. Since no
Finnish territory was occupied, the
advent of peace does not involve
any troop movements.
In Bucharest, the Soviet com
mander formally annouxxced to a
gathering of government and dip
lomatic leaders, including mem
bers of the British-American mis
sions, that Romania now was a
free country. Russian censorship
of news, which had applied to
other than Allied correspondents,
was lifted, but Romanian censor
ship still was operating.
In Sofia, Soviet Lt. Gen. Alex
ander Cherepanov, deputy chair
man of the Allied control commis
sion, told the British and Amer
ican members that the commis
sion had discontinued its activity.
In London an authoritative gov
ernment source said Britain would
end her technical state of war with
Austria yesterday without preju
dice to the current four-power
discussions in Vienna on the Aus
trian peace treaty. Of the big four.
Only Russia and Britain were at
war with Austria.
