Floods Rage In England

LONDON (P) - Flood waters seeped into the largest London sub- way power station today, halting service and bringing chaotic condi- Ons 10 much of England'S largest city.
 As floods spread in still more areas of northern England, wiping out crop prospects over many acres, talk started in London over the possibility of seeking another American loan. The Labor govern nent maintained silence.
 Outside London, York was the major flood sufferer as the swollen Ouse River virtually cut the indus triai city of 100000 in two.
 Virtually everyone was late to work in London. The dead sub ways caused Londone.s to travel by strange and devious route. ,-~rV4ce was stoppci entirely to two main subway routes and slow cd ca the other three. Seventy sub- way stations were closed.
 Long lines stood at stops for buses, trolleys and taxis and be- fore telephone booths. Some form ed at the better hitch-hike loca- tions. The transportation jam, the worst in memory here, started just before the morning rush hour and lasted two hours.

 Milligan, who made an aerial survey of the ice-glutted river said he believed the lush Yellow stone valley from Fairview, on the North Dakota border, to its con- fluence with the Missouri in North Dakota, would be the scenes of broad floods.

Uranium Ore Discovered in
Basin of Colorado River

WASHINGTON The largest de.
posts of uranium ore yet found in
the United States have been discov-
cred in the Colorado river basin
area, a senate source said.
The atomic energy commission,
it was learned, has been urged to
push development of these deposits
in the hope of making the United
States independent of foreign sup
plies.
Uranium is the stuff of which
atomic bombs are made. It and
thorium are the only naturally &C.
curing elements which can be
made to undergo atomic fission in a
chain reaction.
Most of the uranium used in this
country's two million dollar atomic
energy project comes from the
Great Bear lake region of northern
Canada. Another important source
is the Belgian Congo.

Decree New Penalty
For Crime in Russia
The Heaviest Punishment Is for
Embezzlement From State.

LONDON.-The presidium of the
Supreme Soviet has decreed new
penalties for crimes of violence in
Russia in order to Strengthen the
protection of private property" the
Moscow radio says. An earlier de-
II recently abolished capital pun
ishment.
For only one of the crimes listed
in the new decree-embezzlement
of state property a second time, or
by a gang, or on a large Scale-is
the maximum punishment fixed at
25 years in a labor camp. That
penalty previously was substituted
for the death sentence.
The decree listed the new penal
ties as follows:
Theft-Five to six years in a Ia
Dor correction camp; theft by a
gang or on second offense-six to
ten years.
Robbery-10 to IS years, confisca-
ton of property.
Robbery with violence, or by a
gang or on second offense-15 to 20
years, ~coniscation of property.
Failure to report a robbery-Loss
of freedom for one to two years or
Punishment for four to five years.
Theft or embezzlement of state
Sroperty-Seven to ten years in a
labor correction camp.
Embezzlement of state property
a second time, or by a gang or on
a large scale-10 to Is years, confis-
cation of property.
Theft from a collective farm or
cooperative-Five to eight years;
second offense, or when committed
by a gang or on a large scale-eight
to ten years, ~confiscation of prop
erty.
Failure to report theft of state
property-Loss of freedom for two
to three years or Punishment for
five to sever years.
Russian sources in London said
that at the last session of the SUI
preme Soviet complaints were
that penalties for crimes
were not uniform throughout the
country.
They surmised the new decree
standardizes penalties.
