Kansas City Flood
Damage Estimated
At $750 Million
/
KANSAS CITY, Mo., (/P)—‘The
battered Kansas City area mobil
ized yesterday for a herculean
clean up task as flood waters,
swirling eastward, struck new
blows at Missouri River towns.
Receding flood waters in this
metropolitan area of 900,000 left
block after block of muck-covered
ruin.
And in Kansas, a line of
wrecked or partially damaged
towns and cities stretched across
the eastern and central parts of
the state.
The latest damage estimate for
Kansas and Missouri is $750,000
000—the nation’s costliest -flood.
Water still covered many sec
tions but it was fast slipping back
into river channels here and in
Kansas.
But to the east of Kansas City,
small towns along the Missouri
felt the full force of the turbulent
river. Lexington, Norborne, and
Mardin, Mo., were flooded. Some
dikes in central Missouri gave
way.
President Truman, reported
deeply concerned over the flood
situation, flew west towards the
Missouri-Kansas disaster area. He
was scheduled to make a brief
stop at Independence, Mo., his
home town and fly back to Wash
ington Tuesday night.
The flood has brought death to
17 persons, tied up highway and
rail transportation, forced more
than 70,000 from their homes and
severely damaged the industrial
capacity of numerous towns and
cities.
In Kansas City, Kas., and Kan
sas City, Mo., four major indus
trial areas covering thousands of
acres were flooded. Water during
the height of the flood stood more
than 20 feet deep in some places.
A five-day-old fire that ravaged
a seven-block area and injured
14 firemen was left to burn itself
out. The fire destroyed or dam
V aged 24 major firms. Preliminary
estimates indicated damage would
run well over $1,000,000 and was
called the most destructive fire
in Kansas City in more than 30
years.
The flames were fed by oil and
gasoline floating on flood waters.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., </P)
—Mrs. Margaret G. Ryan, wealthy
New York widow, has pleaded in
nocent of manslaughter in the
fatal shooting of a young tres
passer on her California ranch
last month.
Mrs. Ryan, at liberty on $10,000
bail, admitted at the coroner’s in
quest she shot 22-year-old Leon
ard D. Ray, but insisted it was
accidental after he threatened her
with a rifle.
CANCER PROGRESS MADE
The canqer death rate among
women now shows a slight de
cline when adjusted for an aging
population, the American Cancer
Society points out. The over-all
death rate continues to rise but
you can help reverse this trend
by supporting the 1951 Cancer
Crusadq of the American Cancer
Society.
You never how well you can

Would Extend
Claims Deadline
To Indian Com.
(AP Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (JP) — The
House passed and sent to the Sen
ate Monday a resolution extend
ing until Aug. 13, 1952, the dead
line for presenting claims tor the
Indian Claims Commission.
The House Interior Committee
reported that its reluctance to ex
tend the deadline “was overcome
by the overwhelming evidence
that justice will be sprved” by
granting an additional year.
It added, however, that “It is
the committee’s recommendation
that no further extension of time
should at any time be given for
the presentation of such claims.”
It agreed to the extension part
ly, the committee reported, be
cause “in certain instances, parti
cularly with respect to the In
dians of California and Alaska,
the Indians have been unable to
organize themselves effectively”
to make claims. v
Fifteen native groups in Alaska
have indicated they wish to file
claims but have not done so, the
Justice Department informed the
committee.
The American Cancer Society
has awarded 965 research grants
since starting its nation-wide pro
gram in 1946.

Another Reason Why
You’ll Prefer Budweiser
One of America’s very few true lager beers,
Budweiser is fermented not once, but twice.
Much, much longer-than-average ageing
brings it to mellow maturity.
Only the ch6icest hops, rice and best barley
malt are bought for Budweiser • •. and at
premium prices.
The Budweiser lagering process is your guar
antee against greenness and bitterness.
