Flood Threat Eases
I'm Kansas City Area
AS Rain Diminishes
BY the Asseeiois1 Press

KANSAS CITY, Sept. GA
flood threat to metropolitan KAN
Isas City's industrial districts eased
today as rains diminished and the
Irampaging Kansas River dropped
steadily upstream.
The industrial areas remained
on the alert, however. They are
lstill recovering from a July flood
that caused an estimated $2.5
billion damage in Missouri and
Kansas.
President Truman, spending q
brief visit in his home State after
attending the Japanese peace
treaty conference in San Fran
cisco, planned to tour the food
harrassed districts late today.
Army engineers expressed "rea-
sonable confidence" no new flood
ing would occur but continued
around -the-clock work on dikes.
The Weather Bureau lowered
its crest prediction from 81 to
j29 feet and the dikes are believed
capable of containing the Kansas
River at that figure.
Businessmen in three threat
ened districts-Argentime, Ar
mourdale and Central--took pre-
cautions. however. Merchandise
and machinery were moved to up
per stories. Railroads shifted
their freight cars to higher
ground.
Two major packing plants-Ar-
mour and Wilson - suspended
operations. The Kansas City
stockyards placed an embargo on
all livestock shipments.
West of Kansas City, the Kan
Lsas River spilled out over some
/ farmland.
I At Topeka, the State Capital,
the river fell steadily. Approx
mately $500 residents of North
Topeka had been evacuated as q
precautionary measure, but the
river did not overflow there.
/ Some towns were partially
flooded. Waters from the Marais
Des Sygnes River spread over
three business blocks in Ottawa.

The working groups probably
will avoid the touchy West Ger
man rearmament question. But
the foreign ministers are expected
to make an effort to reach a COM
mon stand on what Western Ger
many's contribution to Western
defense should be.
All these conferences will be
followed by meeting of the

Britain S Financial
Troubles Here Today
BY III. Assoeiat.d Pres,

Britain's current financial
troubles came up for top-level dis
cussion today at the beginning of
a series of international confer
ences which will cover the whole
range of the free worlds prob
lens. ,e.. $780,.
High Gaitskell, British Chancel-
lor Of the Exchequer, arranged a
talk with Secretary Of the Treas
ury Snyder this morning. The
British are having difficulties in
paying mounting prices for goods
they must import.
Tomorrow, preliminary United
States British French talks will
get under way, to be followed by
"a session of the Big Three foreign
ministers on Monday.
Lower-echelon experts of the
three governments are to meet at
the State Department in an ef-
fort to agree on the main points
of postwar settlement with the
West German republic.
Secretary of State Acheson,
British Foreign Minister Herbert
Morrison and French Foreign
Minister Robert Schuman are to
review whatever decisions their
experts make and to tackle un-
settled German issues at their
conference here on East-West
STRATEGY.
British Import Prices Soar.
Arriving in the United States
yesterday. Mr.. Gaitskell said
prices of Britain's imports have
gone up 40 per cent since last
year. He forecast a 1851 deficit
in British balance of payments
with the rest of the world.
He left open whether the United
States will be asked to waive the
first annual interest payment of
$76 million due this year on the
So. .750. .000.o 600 loan this country
extended in 1946 to help pull Brit
lain out of postwar economic
crisis.
Mr.. Gaitskill, known as a trou-
ble-shooter in the Attlee govern
Iment. said he would discuss with
Mr.. Snyder the whole range of
British economic problems. includ-
ing Britain's continuing trade with
Russia and the Soviet bloc.
Britain has taken the position
that the increasing cost of i'm
ports. due in large part to West
ern rearmament, is imposing as
great a burden as the British
share in the build-up.
The interest payment on the
loan from the United States is
due this year, along with about
$44 million to be paid on the prin-
Icipal. Under terms Of the loan,
the latter cannot be waived. Mr..
IGaitskill said the British govern
ment provided in its budget for
both payments but now is unde-
cided whether to ask waiver OF
the interest. His own inclination
lis to pay our debts" he added.
AS for the Big Three talks, in
formed officials said the State De-
partment has submitted to the
British and French government.

known as a series of "contactual

PALE AS DUBOIS
TRIAL GETS
UNDERWAY

BROOKLYN - (ANP)-Shir-
ley Graham, attractive author,
playwright wife of the scholarly
octogenarian, DR.. w. E. B. Du-
Bots, was pale but firm last week
during an interview in her new
duplex home in Brooklyn's ex-
elusive residential section.
Mrs. Dubois stressed the thought
that her husband is no traitor to
his country but devoted demo-
cratic American. The u. S. De-
partment of justice has charged
that the now defunct Peace In
formation Center with head
quarters in New York, once
headed by DR.. Dubois, acted in
behalf of a foreign principal. DR..
Dubois and several associates and
employees, including Elizabeth
Moos, former school executive,
Kyrle Elkin, business man and
Harvard graduate, Sylvia Soloff
and ABBOTT Simon, because of
their work there, now are on trial
for failure to register as foreign
agents.
The plaintiffs say that they fail
ed to register as agents of any
foreign principal because they
were not agents of any foreign
principal.
Miss Graham said the trial is
very expensive, and will continue
to be pursued at great cost of
both finance and loyalty of
friends.
Speaking of her husband. Miss
Graham said he was "brave,
courageous, unflinching and un-
retreating in his fight for peace
