WASHINGTON OP - President
Truman told the Senate today
that if it restricts use of govern-
ment funds for operation of the
seized steel mills it msy result in
“paralyzing the operations of the
government in an emergency.”
In a letter to vice president
Barkley, the President hit out
vigorously at Republican sponsored
moves to deny any funds for gov-
ernment operation of the mills.
He said enactment of the GOP
proposals might lead to a com-
plete shutdown in steel and “im-
mediately reduce the ability of our
troops in Korea to defend them-
selves against attack.”
Further, the President contend-
ed, much of the debate on the mat-
ter has been of “extreme and mis-
leading character.”
He warned:
“If the Communists stage an-
other offensive in Korea this
spring, the success or failure of
that offensive may well depend

this state's powerful 70-vote presi-

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s
name is on the Republican ballot.
He is opposed by former Gov. Har-
old E. Stassen of Minnesota. But
there are indications that an unof-
ficial write-in campaign is under
way for Sen. Robert A. Taft of
Ohio.
Taft has repudiated any such
campaign, saying that it doean’t
mean anything so far as the state’s
delegation is concerned.
Sen. James Duff, one of the chief
Eisenhower backers, has limited
his home state predictions to a
forecast of a “substantial” vote
for the five-star general.
And Gov. John S. Fine, who
might have the decision on how the
majority of the state delegation
goes at Chicago, hasn’t said a fa-
vorable word for any candidate, b7’a7auto nea“ MwiaVWe Sunday" skuU’fracture” received in a one-
on whether or not we have kept
our steel mills In operation. This
is a consideration over and above
the drastic effect a steel shutdown
would have on our total defense
effort.”
Truman repeated what he had
said in a message April 9—that
he ordered "temporary operation”
of the steel mills by the govern-
ment “with th* utmost reluctance;
that the idea of government opera-
tion of the steel mills was thorough-
ly distasteful to me; and that I
wanted to see it ended as soon
as possible.’’
His letter to Barkley reminded
the Senators, too, that he had in-
dicated his willingness to "cooper-
ate in developing any legislative
proposals the congress might wish
to consider” for dealing with the
steel crisis.
The message was sent to Barkley
while Truman continued his cruise
aboard the presidential yacht Wil-
liamsburg.

Another youth, 14-year-old Don-
ald Ray Tutt of Denton, waa also
especially the overloaded area
from St. Joseph, Mo., to Kansas Ij^Lj
City.
Even if it rained a fall inch in
the Kaw (Kansas) Basin, they
said, it would raise the Missouri rgj|K
at Kansas City only about a foot.
That would still be well below the
level the protecting dikes were
built to stand.
The Kaw, a fast-acting river, was
whst gave Kansas City, Mo., and I
Kansas City, Kan., their worst F
flood when it poured into the Mis- p
sourl here last July. It’s rolling ‘
along at a low level now. f /
Brig. Gen. D. G. Shlngler, di- t
vision engineer at Omaha, stuck I
to his prediction that the Kansas I ' . y
Citya would be safe thia time. But j
while the downstream battle was ;
not a spectacular aa the fight to
save Omaha and Council Bluffs
hat week, it was still a hard one.
Men still fought to confine the river
which has driven thousands from
their homes and caused millions of
dollsrs of damsge.
"We really have one terrific
flood,” Shingler said after an aerial
survey. “Today we’re in flood stage
from Blair, Neb., above Omaha
almost to the mouth near St.
Charles—a distance of about 700
miles.”
Another weather threat developed *
on the northern Mississippi River.
A flood crest of 15.3 feet—lower
than originally predicted—reached
LaCrosse, Wis., yesterday.
Soggy dikes held but repair work
went on around the clock. Weather
man A. D. Sanial said today and
tomorrow would be critical times
there because the river won’t start
dropping much until tomorrow
night.
A wind which might climb to a
stiff 25 miles an hour was forecast
for today in that area. That would
pile up the waves and let them
slosh against the eroding dikes.
But the flood peak waa long and
slow moving. Army engineers
wouldn't pin it down definitely.
"It's not a knife edge,” said C.R.
Van Orman at the engineers, flood
headquarters. “It’s more like tta
