Associated Press stan writer

The United States has worked
up a proposed package deal on
German unity and European se-
curity. It covers major action
proposals to be placed before
Russia in the next round OF
East West negotiations. il Brit
ain, France and Germany agree.
The plan is expected to be dis
cussed privately by Assistant
Secretary of State Livingston
Merchant in Paris. Bonn and
London this week. Merchant will
fly to Paris tomorrow night on
ia consultation mission for Sec
rotary of State Dulles.
His trip opens a period OF in
tensive consultation among the
Western allies prior to the Oc-
tober foreign ministers meeting
which Mr.. Dulles and his British
and French colleagues together
with Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov. They have been as
signed to work on the big prob
lens left unsolved by last
months summit conference OF
Big Four government heads at
Geneva.
The Big Four Western powers
and Germany are already agreed
that their primary aim in the
next Geneva meeting must be to
obtain Soviet agreement to the
unification of Germany under
terms which will permit Ger
many's close association with
the West according to the pat
tern already fixed by West Ger
many's membership in the At.
lantic alliance.
Fears Recognized
At the same time the Western
powers have agreed that Russia
may have some legitimate fears
for its own security in connec-
ton with German reunificatior
and rearmament. 1t is the prob
lem of how to meet these fears
which has recently received con-
siderable study from Mr.. Dulles
and other American policy
makers.
According to the decisions
which have now been worked
out, If Russia will agree to the
unification of East and West
Germany on essentially Western
terms, Mr.. Dulles is prepared tc
Join in the following projects tc

The vast flood destruction In
the Northeast today prompted
a proposal for Federal risk in
surance and other permanent
means of dealing with disasters
Senator Lehman, Democrat OF
New York, said he would Offer
such legislation at the January
session of Congress so that "in
the future, Americans will not
need to live in the fear that all
their possessions. savings and
hopes may vanish in q single
catastrophe blast"
The Senator said the present
Civil Defense Administration, set
up initially to plan against pos
sible atomic attack, should be
broadened to direct operations
in any national disaster, includ-
ing flood, drought, or nuclear
bombingS.
He also called for Government

The boy said he and his grand
mother had spent the eight days
since the flood sleeping in Red
Cross shelter. He said his uncle
had been sleeping there, too. but
his uncle--the only one in the
family whose plant is still oper-
ating-has to work nights and
there Is no place in the shelter
to sleep days.

the boy said. MY grandmother

now. You see, the house two
doors from us floated away and
her daughter-my aunt-went
down with it. We buried her on
Monday"
A Red Gross worker in the
doorway beckoned. The boy
helped his grandmother to her
feet, and kept his arm around
her waist as they walked into the
room for help.
"The Longest Three Hours"
Mrs. Paul Nemence moved into
the seat next to the door.

course, but maybe the icebox.
Were Helping Others
IT grabbed up an arm full Of
things before I left the house,
but they were the wrong things.
You see. We were trying to help
the people down by the river.
We didn't think the water would
get to us. Then the water came
too fast to thing about what I
was doing so all I got out was q
dress that's too heavy to wear,
and O pair of old shoes.

Just talking to the Red Cross
worker. She told us If we needed
anything eI3 to come back.
Down the hall from the rooms
with the clothes, the workers
were interviewing other people
to find out what they needed to
go on, writing out orders for
food, for rent and furniture.
People sat in rows Of chairs in
the hallway waiting to see these
workers and others were coming
in all the time. A sturdy boy of
