Lodge Warns U. 5. Against
False Sense Of Security
BY The Assesiated Press

NEW YORK. July l4.-Senator
Lodge. Republican. Of Massaehu-
setts. said tonight the United
States must be careful not to be
lulled into false sense Of security
by the Korean peace talks.
A member Of the Senate For
eign Relations committee, Sena-
tor Lodge said:
"We must arm to regain the
diplomatic initiative lost in 1945
when we disintegrated our armed
forces"
Leaving for Europe. he said he
hopes ito see what has been ac-
complished by the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. z
He will join eight other Foreign
Relations committee members
now in Europe inspecting the
western defenses.

price regulations, he said. some
of them can legally charge 200 to
800 per cent of the prevailing
market price.
'I'd call that a very gray mar
ket," Senator Moody commented.
The president of a steel ware
house firm that has been in busi-
ness IL years recommended heavy
fines and wide publicity" for "chis-
lers who take monetary advantage
at the expense of the defense ef-
fort" " @
]. Ivan Fiscus, head of the
Huron Steel Co.., Detroit, made the
recommendation. He said the
steel mills themselves could help
by keeping closer control on the
flow Of steel rather than creating
o whole new flock Of unqualified
steel brokers'"

Railroads, operating at the
river level, have been hit hard.
But for residential Kansas City
the flood is felt mainly through
low-water pressure, through flood
ing of q pumping station that
supplies two-thirds of the city's
water. That closed all but food
stores and essential businesses to-
day. All saloons are closed. the
churches are open; a city flooded,
but the great majority Of the
people short of water.
Losses Total Millions.
The loss is now into uncalcu-
lated millions. in hides. soaps.
meats, lumber. oil. chemicals,
some grain, all the sorts of sup
plies that are held in big store
houses. The loss of thousands Of
drowned cattle and hogs was a
small item in comparison with
the enormous quantities Of meat
in cold storage. Where insurance
is inadequate such loss can be
Gripping. Thousands of loaded
boxcars were caught in the sud-
den overfiowing of the dikes.
AS the crests pass. dikes have
held, except for seepage in the
modern industrial districts OF
Fairfax in Kansas and the north
east industrial district of Kansas
City, Mo.
But even here there is water
from inches to several feet from
sand boils, particularly in Fair
fax where the airport has been
closed.
Plugged With Sandbags.
"a sand boil is fountain
like upsurge Of flood water that
has seeped beneath a levee and
burst through protected ground
behind the dixie. They are
plugged with sandbags or con-
tanned in earthen "chimneys"
as conditions demando
Dikes so far have done the job
of protecting the vast North Kan
|sas City industrial district. Kan

starting to dig out and bring to
