West Believed Ready
To Ease Breakup Of
German Steel CarieIs
BY the Assoeiated Press

BONN, Germany, Mar. 30.-The
three Western occupation powers
were believed today to have modi-
fed their German Decentralization
plan in order to bring Ruhr coal
and steel into the Schuman plan.
The three-nation Allied High
Commission announced yesterday
that 1t had agreed on reply to
German proposals for changing
the plan. but refused to say wheth-
Ter it accepted the German sug-
!gestions.
The fact that all three powers
were In agreement, however. was
taken as indication that Britain
might have dropped her objections

Americans and French.

German induStrialists had OBJ

plan for pooling Western Europe's
Icoal and steel resources unless the
Allied program to break "exces-
Isive approximations of power" in
Rufr industries was softened.
The German proposal considered

solution of the German centra

French insisted.
The British have been reported
reluctant to let the German stee
makers control such a large por.
ton of the Ruhr coal supply.
The original Allied plan was te
break 13 of Germany's biggest
coal and steel firms into 29 units
before turning them back to Ger
man control. The German pro-
Iposal is believed to provide for
only 26 separate units.

South Hit by Floods
After Two Days Of
Tremendous Rain
By the Associated Press

Two days of tremendous rains
have sent f1oodwaters swirling
over thousands of acres in the
South and heavily damaged high
ways, farms and homes.
Alabama was hit hardest. Two
persons drowned in Mississippi
North Georgia braced for the in-
pact of rampant rivers. Louisiana
was soaked.
In West Alabama-the Tom

ground. Much livestock was re-
ported drowned. Far reaches of

In Northeast Alabama, the
Cahaba and CooSa Rivers overran
their banks and famed out. Ma
tional guardsmen were on duty
at Childersburg, where the Coosa
partly covered about 200 homes.
Between 800 and 1000 persons
were homeless. Red Cross workers
joined the guardsmen in giving
the homeless shelter.
The downpour in Alabama in
48 hours was more than the nor
NAL precipitation for the entire
month.
But in Alabama and elsewhere
in the South the rains were mostly
over. Ironically, skies were clear

toward its peak.
The Coosa was expected to rise

Other parts of the country also
got a wetting, some with mix

Chile President Trie.
To Quiet Furor Over
Truman S Canal Idea
BY the Associated Press

SANTIAGO, Chile, Mar. 30
President Gabriel Gonzales Videla
tried last night to quiet opposition
to President Truman's support OF
a canal across Chile or Peru to
give Bolivia an outlet to the Pa
cific.
In a radio speech, DR.. Gonzales
Videla praised Mr.. Truman S
statement on the plan Monday
Mr.. Truman had departed from
prepared text of a speech to the
inaugural session of the Inter
American Foreign Ministers Con-
ference in Washington to indorse
the project.
Chilean newspapers and Con-
gress members criticized his in
dorsement as interference in
Chile'S internal affairs.
Bolivia could get an outlet to
the sea only through concessions
from Chile or Peru, or both. Mar
row strips of both countries meet
and form the barrier separating
Bolivia from the sea.
In his speech last night, DR..
Gonzalez Videla said Mr.. Tru-
mans declaration arouses hope
that the United States will fur
nish economic aid to carry out
the project, which also envisions
diversion of the waters of Lake
Titicaca, in the Bolivian noun
tains, to irrigate arid regions of
the coasts of Peru and Chile.
He said the Chilean govern
ment was ready to enter into

Luxury Trains
Visit Land Of
Midnight Sun

STOCKHOLM. Last summer
the Swedish State Railways in
augurated "Sunlit Nights" train
cruises. Providing a most COM
Portable and variety-p packed way
of seeing Sweden off the beaten
path, the cruises caught on. The
acclaim came from a United
States Ambassador, from Ameri-
can travel agents, from citizens
of Cape Town. London, New York
and De Kalb, Ill.
So it should surprise no one
that this year the number of
train cruises have been tripled for
June and July, the time of exhila-
rating sunlit nights. In these
two months in Northern Sweden
the disc of the midnight sun
never dips below the horizon.
Sunset is followed by sunrise
without intervening night. The
pale and eerie light makes the
mountain landscape seem trans
fixed and the scene fascinates
visitors.

Crews Speak English.
All crew members-including
the hostess, whose presence will
help to make the trip even more
enjoyable, and the chef. carefully
picked to make the train cruise
a gourmet's holiday-are fluent
in English. And when the train
pulls out from Stockholm, word
goes out from state railways
headquarters to local stations to
have English-speaking service
crews on the job the day the
cruise train is due.
The pleasures and varied eXpe-
riences in store for "Sunlit
Nights" cruise passengers were
summed up by John Morehead,
former United States Ambassador
to Sweden. He said: "In these
eight days, I have learned more
about Sweden and also enjoyed
myself more than during those

Ipalachian Trail.
The informal celebration was

Fees Waived for Military.
During World War II, automo-
bile entrance fees were waived for
military personnel, and with the
heavy increase in numbers caused
by the Korean war, and with the
movement of troops across the
country, the fees have again been
waived for the men and women in
the armed forces. Plans are being
developed by the National Park
Service and the armed services for
enlarged use of National Park
areas by men and women in Uncle
Sans uniform.
This seems an appropriate place
to mention "Steve Mather of the
National Parks" a story of Ma
tional Park history recently off
the press. It will make interest
ing reading for any one, and espe-
cially for those planning National
Park trips.
Mr.. Mather was the first direc-
tor of the National Park Service.
In 1915. the year he took over
National Park administration,
travel records show 335, ,299 visi-
tors to the National Parks and
Monuments huge increase over
previous seasons. In 1923, the
year he retired. travel had climbed
to an unprecedented 3,024,544.
That really was banner year!
Man of great vision that he
was, Mr.. Mather could hardly
have envisioned the annual num-
ber of visitors to National Parks
pushing hard the 40 million mark.
Facilities Lag.
This tremendous increase in the
use of National Parks poses serious
problems of protection of both
visitors and park features, and of
supplying necessary accommoda-
tions.
Unfortunately facilities for visi-
tors, especially during and since
the last World War, have not
kept pace with changing travel
conditions, partly because of re-
stricted Federal appropriations
for road. trail, camp ground and
other Improvements; and partly
because of difficulties encoun-
tered by park concessioners in
obtaining financing and obtain
ing labor and materials for ex-
pansion of accommodations.
Accommodations, especially on
week ends and over holidays, will
be stretched to the limit; will not,
in fact, be flexible enough to
stretch as far as needed. with the
unavoidable lag in installation of
new facilities during and since
World War II.
Nevertheless. it has been pos
sible to install some new accom-
modations the last few years, and
to add to and improve existing
facilities. In Yosemite National
Park. Calf, which this year is
celebrating the centennial of the
