ST. PAUL, Mimi. April 49,
Swirling downstream with record
breaking force, the mighty Missis-
sippi continued today to take a
mounting toll in the st. Paul low
lands.
Although the crest is not ex-
Ipected for another 48 hours,
thousands already are homeless.
Damage is estimated in the mil
lions of dollars.
Fears of record damage to
down-river cities increased hourly
as the water level rose in st. Paul,

Brought an embargo on ship

those levied in many.
Mr.. Reilly warned that consist
|ent lowering of the Federal pay
ment would compel Washington
residents and business Ito assume
ever greater tax burdens" To
those who suggest higher real
estate taxes, Mr.. Reilly warned of
the danger of driving business to
the suburbs and depreciation of
downtown values. He warned that
an increase in the sales tax would
put the District at a disadvantage
in relation to nearby Maryland
and Virginia.
Hospital Losses Stressed.
The case for a higher payment
to the private hospitals caring for
INDECENT District patients was pre-
sented by DR.. Montgomery Blair
for the District Medical Society,
DR.. Sullivan, D. M. Dewey and
James H. Lemon, for Children's S
Hospital.
They asked the Senate to pay the
hospitals at the rate of $3.50 a
day for bed patients and $3.50 a
day for outpatients. The rates now
are 50 and So a day.
They said actual costs ran to
SIT to $l8 a day for bed patients,
but were not asking for the whole
cost.
MIR. Lemon said Childrens Hos
Ipital had suffered a loss of more
than 100000 a year over the
past five years. The requested
rate increase, he said, would cut
the loss about in half.
Charles j. Bauer of the Build
ing Owners and Managers Asso-
|ciation declared the Federal pay
|ment should be 'pot a penny less"
than $14 million. He submitted
a list of service costs he said
should be borne by the Federal
Government. These included 81
million for nationally owned
parks, $615,0O0 for the Zoo and
nearly 50 million a year for Dis
trict patients at st. Elizabeths
Hospital.

Harbor.
The President then issued this
brief statement:
"As President of the United
States, it gives me great satisfac-
ton to sign, and thus ratify, to-
day the treaty OF peace with
Japan, the security treaty with
Australia and New Zealand. the
security treaty with Japan, and
the mutual defense treaty with
the Republic of the Philippines.
The signing of these documents
completes another in the series Of
steps being taken by free nations
to bring peace and security to the
Pacific.
2 More Nations Needed.
"When the United States and
lat least two more of the countries
mentioned in article .23 of the
treaty of peace with Japan and
the United States have deposited
their ratifications, the historic
ceremonies Of restoring Japan to
"a position of independence, honor
and equality in the world COM
munity which began at San Fran
cisco last September will have been
brought to a conclusion. The re-
lated security and mutual defense
treaties will become effective when
their ratifications are either de-
posted or exchanged in accord
ance with their respective terms.
I'm signing these documents, I
know that I express the essential
unity and will Of the American
people for the earliest possible
achievement Of lasting peace and
freedom with security. The treaty
of peace with Japan and the
related security and mutual de-
fenSe treaties, when they go into
effect, will bring that goal nearer
to realization"
Under the security treaty with
Japan, the United States will keep
occupation troops in the islands.
The Pacific pacts were largely
the work of John Foster Dulles.

japanese Peace Pact
And Security Treaties
Signed by President
By joseph A. Fox

President Truman today signed
the treaty of peace with Japan
and a group of complementary
Pacific security pacts designed to
bolster the East against Commu-
mist aggression.
In addition to the Japanese
Peace Treaty, the President also
signed a security treaty with
Japan, the security treaty with
Australia and New Zealand and
the mutual defense treaty with
the Republic of the Philippines.
Hailing the signing as another
step Ito bring peace and security
in the Pacific" the President said
it is also a move toward restoring
Japan to position of independ-
ence. honor and equality in the
world community"
The treaties were negotiated in
San Francisco last September. A
few days earlier the Philippine
pact had been brought into ex-
iStence here.
Emergency Laws Signed.
The State Department an
nounced tentative plans to bring
the treaty into effect April %.
This depends on expected deposits
with the department by that time
of the instruments of ratification
of at least two other countries.
Just before the pacts were signed
today, President Truman approved
legislation extending until June /
certain wartime emergency laws,
including that under which the
Government is operating the
railroads.
These statutes otherwise would
have expired with the signing of
the peace treaty.

OMAHA. April 15.-A ghost city
where only a few days ago 10000
persons lived today lay waiting
for the worst the Missouri Rivers
|greatest flood could offer.
The vast, deserted area is three
quarters of the city of Council
Bluffs, Iowa.
Across the river in Omaha, an
other 5000 persons had fled low
lying homes threatened by the
Missouri.
The river has reduced to virtual
ghost towns several communities
along it's rich valley and has
chased thousands of families from
their homes.
But the Missouri wasn't alone
in spreading misery.
The Mississippi, too, had swept
Ito record crests in Minnesota and
Wisconsin, while in other States
smaller streams tossed punches.
$4,000 Are Homeless.
The Red Cross estimated that
an eight-State area where the
waters are raging, total of
1889 families and about $4,000
persons have had to flee their
homes.
This figure covers the Dakotas,
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota. Wis
consin, Kansas and Missouri.
Most of this flight of people
and their possessions was in the
Missouri Valley. The Red Cross
estimated the families forced to
flee there at 17,809.
At Washington, the Red Cross
said a big Missouri smash through
at Omaha Council Bluffs-raising
the total of homeless families to
20. 0.000-would place the Missouri
flood among the 10 biggest in II
years of Red Cross relief opera
tionS.
Toll on Flood Walls.
While misery grew in the valley
and millions of tons of rich top
soil sloshed downriver, men and
machines at Omaha and Council
Bluffs combined population, $685.
000. toiled to build up the flood
walls and dikes that they hoped
would match the rivers mightieSt
Wallop.
There was a somewhat dis
heartening report from the
Weather Bureau. Showers were
predicted for Eastern Nebraska
and Western Iowa tonight and
tomorrow morning.
The job the Twin Cities faced
is best described by two men who
have been, and are, in the middle
of the battle to beat the might
of the Missouri at this focal point.
These were their comments:
Maj. Gen. Lewis A. Pick, chief
of Army engineers: "The great
est flood the white man has ever
seen on the Missouri River"
Brig. Gen. Don G. Shingler,
Missouri River Division Engineers:
We're in a hell of a lot of trou-
BILE. The river is coming with a
rip and a roar"
There was little to dispute their
words.
Man Loses Battle.
All along the Missouri Valley
where the river had struck to-
date, man has been a loser. Only
in the matter of saving human life
has he scored a win over the river.
Beyond that, his lands and his
homes have been mercilassiv
