Officials and Victims Agree
Flood Must Not Happen Again

This consisted Of food, clothing
and shelter. More important was
the assurance that the agency
would aid the destitute in the re-
establishment of their homes.
The prediction that many farm
iers would abandon their holdings
and go elsewhere was made by
Gov. Forrest Smith of Missouri.
He said the destitute were nc
longer in need Of Government
credit. because they lacked the re-
sources to make good on addt-
Itional commitments.
The people hardest hit by the
food, according to relief workers
are the ones already deep in debt.
One man dived into the Kansas
River to rescue several persons
dropped into the stream by the
failure OF a bridge. helped three
children and their mother to
shore. He came up down river
and found that his own family
had disappeared. along with his
clothing.
Relief workers say the big
problem here is - will those
families who have been flooded out
move back into a place where
they have lost so much, and what
will be done to prevent the re-
currence Of another such disaster

Mccarthy Makes New
Threat 10 Give Names
OF Security Risks

Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
OF Wisconsin renewed today a
name-calling threat that the
State Department described yes
terday as holding hostage the
reputation and rights" of employees
cleared Of disloyalty charges.
The department brusquely re-
jected as a political strategem"
Senator McCarthy's demand for
assurance that 20 of it's employees
are being kept away from secret
papers.
The Senator threatened in a
letter to Secretary of State
Acheson Monday to name publicly
% persons he said face loyalty
checks unless he got such aSsur-
ance.
Il am inclined to think I have
no choice but to name them I'M
less the State Department COM
pletely reverseS its stand" Sem
ator Mccarthy said today. 1.-The
situation is too dangerous not to
do So"
Humelsine Answers Charges.
Deputy Undersecretary of State
Carlisle H. Humelsine wrote the
Senator yesterday that his allega-
ton that the 20 persons he named
are involved in pending loyalty
cases sis incorrect"
All of the individuals have been
named by Senator Mccarthy be-
fore, Mr.. Humelsine pointed out
He added that some are not State
Department employees. some al
ready have been cleared and some
are "in process through the 10y
atty program.
Your indiscriminate Jumping
together of names and the threat
to make them public is tanta-
mount to holding hostage the
reputation and rights of those
employees who have been or may
be cleared of the allegations
against them" Mr.. Humelsine
told the Senator.
He said the department docs
not permit any employe to have
access to secret material when
1T has determined that such ac-I
cess might constitute a danger to
the security of the United States"
Details of Program Outlined.
But the Presidents loyalty pro-
gram directive of March IS. l948,
precludes the furnishing of any
reports, records or files relative
to the loyalty of employees, Mr..
Humelsine said.
His letter to Senator Mccarthy
outlined details of what he de-
scrlbed as total security pro-
gram" conducted by the State
Department. Under this program.
an employe does not have to be
found positively disloyal to be
discharged. Mr.. Hunelsine en-
phasized that any individual con-
sidered a security risk" is sep
arated.
But he stressed that I'VE will
not compromise our legal and
ethical responsibilities under pres
sure of political strategem or
threat"
Senator Mccarthy charged that
Mr.. Hunelsine's letter was de
liberately calculated to mislead."
He was not certain when he may
make his next move. He said heI
may name the 20 either this week

KANSAS CITY, July 26.-The
influential and the destitute were
in agreement here today in the
wake of the Nations costliest
fiood-"never again"
Governors, mayors, industrial
lists and Federal advisers in emer-
gency session had more to say on
the subject than did the farmers
and factory settlement residents
whose worldly goods have gone
down the river.
Never again" was the theme
Of the meeting il. the Municipal
Auditorium. The sentiment took
on a deeper, harsher meaning
Ialong the wreckage-strewn Kansas
to the west and Missouri to the
east.
To thousands of small farmers
and city fringe jewellers the words
never again" mean just that.
They have been forced out have
nothing to go back to except river
muck and debris and little in
clination to start over again under
the same threat of the rivers.
The emergency meeting sent a
delegation of Governors to WASH
ington to seek more Federal funds
to complete a plan for controlling
the Missouri watershed. While
the session was in progress, oc-
casional buildings collapsed along
the waterfront under loads of silt,
and dust whirled through low
land streets which had run 26
feet deep in water only a fort
night ago.
A stencil from the flooded
stockyards, still knee deep in mud,
hung over the river bottom to-
day, where hundreds of freight
cars lay overturned on the
switching tracks, and unseated
oil storage tanks contributed their
1 pollution to still-swollen currents
7 After about 10 days of typical
harvest weather, the area of the
( Kansas cities is a dismal picture
from the air or ground.
Flying over the flooded farm
lands at low altitude one impree-
sion emergeS-the whole area has
been deserted.
Eastward the Missouri runs
chocolate brown and streaked with
oil as it coils through a valley
floored with staganant lagoons
and eroded sand flats. Thousands
of fields are brown with mud and
drowned crops. The river cut
corners on the big bends.
In the wake of the flood crests
lie shallow pools turning green
with stagnation. Barns and silos
lie overturned or slanted, homes
are banked with silt, displaced OF
crushed, and access roads dis
appear where they approach the
rivers.
There was little sign of life
along the nearby Missouri and
Kansas this afternoon. For sc
miles in either direction. homes
farms and back roads were de-
serted.
Stock Is Being Buried.
Now and then work party
could be spotted, burying stock OF
burning debris.
! Around the Kansas Cities, on
either side of the State line, the
Red Cross had given immediate
relief to about 5000 families.
