Flood Deaths And Disaster in Wake of Far East Typhoon
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Perhaps HOO persons were dead Saturday and hundreds of thousands homeless in the wake of typhoons which lashed central Indochina and southern Japan.
 The screaming wind and rain storms wrought untold property damage and destroyed food sup plies vital to the teeming populace of the two East Asian areas. One American soldier drowned in southern Japan during the storm.
 Governor Pham Van Giao of central Viet Nam reported nearly 1000 known dead and said the toll may reach 2,000 as result of a typhoon which Friday flooded the entire region around Hue, on h. dochina's South China sea coast. Famine and typhoid epidemics were feared in the central Viet Nam state of Annam, where con- tinued rain hampered relief.
 Strategic rbases of the Red-led Vietminh were reported damaged.
 A roaring typhoon began break ing up in the North Pacific after side-swiping the teeming Tokyo area and leaving at least 115 dead and millions in property damage.
 Japanese national police also reported 288 missing and 259 in jured with hundreds of thousands homeless, and shipping and com munications snarled.
 American bases in Japan sui fered damage estimated officially at millions of dollars.

IMROVING THE BREED

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark, (R - A North Little Rock worm dealer is trying to double his busi- ness without increasing his over head.
 Alderman Ed Skinner is at tempting to breed two tailed worms. So far, he has developed two worms with twin fuselages.
 If I can start some specimens like this breeding I believe it will create a big demand among fish ermen. With two tails wriggling in the water, fish are bound to be attracted and rise quicker to the bait"
 He said the double threat worms may revolutionize the in dustry."

THE MAIN FIELD on Lloyd D.
M c orm C ks 1,000-acre Toole
County wheat farm parallels a series
of low, treeless hills and slopes away
from them half-mile or more.
Every spring, and after every hard
rain, run-off from those hills washes
into a shallow draw crossing the
field and empties into a coulee.
There's lot of run-off from the
hills, too, Mccormick says. Through
the years the bottom of that draw
gradually became ditch 8 to 4 feet
deep, slicing the field in two.
1--WE used to spend plenty of time
digging or pulling tractors out of
there" he says. WED pillow the
ditch in regularly, but after every
rain there would be new one to
mire us down."
Now, though, Mccormick feels he
has the problem whipped. With 20
hours of bulldozer work in 1851, he
filled the ditch and leveled the draw
into a sloping, 30-foot wide water
way. The easy slope lets him cross
the waterway easily with hydraulic
lift equipment.
He planted the waterway to oats
the first year and followed last
spring by stubbling in 20 pounds of
a bronze, western wheatgrass and
crested wheatgrass mixture. The
stand this spring was good.
AS soon as it is well-sodded, Nc
Cormick plans a series of bitches
which will direct all of the hill run
off away from his buildings and
the field into the waterway. Then.
where the waterway empties into
the coulee, he plans a ditch-dike
system which will spread the water
over alfalfa land in the coulee
bottom.

Doctors Think Gamma Shots
Ayerted Some Polio Cases

cumstanceS of study with people
who came down with paralytic
polio just before gamma globulin
was administered.
Making Special Study.
The polio detectives are also
doing a special study of the pos
sible paralysis modifying powers
of gamma globulin among people
who had received it, not in mass
programs, but because they had
been in close contact with a
patient.
This study will bear on an i'm
portant practical question: Do
mass injections or concentrating
on household and similar con-
facts constitute the best use of
gamma globulin?
DR.. Langmuir offered the per-
sonal opinion that inoculating
such contacts will prove to be
of value and that also there will
be some need for mass immuni-
cation programs in concentrated
epidemics," especially in smaller
communities where polio is not
always present in some degree.
"One thing is certain" he said,
gamma globlin is not the answer
to the polio problem, it is at best
only an interim measure"
