st. Louisans were urged to go
sparingly on water. Mayor Joseph
M. Darst made the plea by tele-
vision and through newspapers
and radio stations. Rising waters
have halted trains which supply
the city's two pumping plants
one on the Missouri and the other
on the Mississippi-with coal and
chemicals.
The Mayor said, however, that
water in reservoirs should be suf-
fcient for the anticipated emer-
gency period.
/ A small IeVee collapsed on tne
Missouri and water poured over
the top of another, spilling over
the Creve Couer area northwest of
st. Louis, where about 300 per-
sons live. Some residents already
had been evacuated and others
were being moved out.
The flood waters were ebbing at
Jefferson City, the State capital
in central Missouri. There the
Missouri had flooded parts of so
blocks and about $50 persons had
to be moved out.
! Missouri's highways were closed
at 81 points by high water.
The cost of the flood in st.
Louis thus far was estimated at
SIS million. The figure included
loss of business and wages and
flood protection expenses. Actual
water damage is not yet of serious
proportions here.
Rail yards at the river level in

A Pulitzer prize winning editor
charged, meanwhile, that the
United Nations covenant on hu-

THE case of William Oats in
dicates the pattern in which a

Espionage when he has done no
more than report established facts

New Orleans States.
Arguing that the United States

Mr.. Fitzpatrick said. "The COW
