Flood Aid Law
Awaits Funds
BY the Associated Press

Government sponsored flood
insurance. on the lawbooks for
six months. still Is not available
to aid in the latest flood disas-
terS.
And it may be late spring or
early summer-past some OF the
peak flood seasons In many areas
before any policies are written.
Holding things up at the mo-
ment is a 500 million appropri-
alton awaiting congressional &C
ton.
When We get the money. we'll
be in operation" says Commits
sioner Frank J. Meistrell. in
charge of the Federal Flood In
demnity Administration.
The Government took on the
experiment Of underwriting flood
insurance after disastrous 1886
floods in the northeast because
no private insurance companies
were willing to risk the losses of
such a program.
The biggest problem has been
to determine a schedule of rates
for the 81 States that come
under the act as flood areas.
The rates are ready now. though
still a secret.
When Congress gives the 60
ahead, Mr.. Meistrell says policies
will be handled through $50. 900
private insurance agents and
brokers throughout the country
Between $500 and 1000 insur-
ance companies will act for the
Government on a "set-fee" or
cost reimbursement basis.
The Government will pay the
agents fees and also absorb 40
per cent of the cost of the policy

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland of California was on
record today as believing Ameri-
lean foreign policy should not be
tiled as a tail" to the kite of a
United Nations which he thinks
needs a major overhauling.
Speaking at Georgetown Uni
versity here last night. the Sem
ator listed five major defects
that have hampered the U. NJ,
principally abuse of the veto
power by the Soviet Union. And
he concluded that If the u. N. Is
to be saved as an effective
agency for collective security,
steps must be taken Ito remedy
its defects now, not year from
now or ten years hence"
Some observers saw in the
speech a suggestion that this
country has been shaping its for
eign policy too closely to the
United Nations.
At one point he said that
both the Truman and Eisen-
hover administrations have
made the U. N. a keystone of
our foreign policy" and added
that both major parties have
Endorsed the organization in
their platforms. Then he asked:
Does the record of the UN
warrant a continuation of our
policy and our support?"
Lists Other Defects
In addition to the excessive
use Of the veto by Russia, he
listed the major defects as fol- I
lows:
A growing double standard"
of international morality; the
increasing trend to bloc voting; /
an expanding tendency to inter-
fere in the internal affairs of +,

to equitably share the monetary
costs and other obligations of
the UN. and its related ACTIVE
ties while insisting on a full and !.
equal voice in the making of
DECISIONS, the burdens of which
must be assumed by others.
The Senator suggested a way
in which he believes the Russian
use Of the veto in the Security
Council could be curbed, under
a section Of the charter which
provides that when the Security
Council is seeking peaceful set
Element of disputes a party to a
dispute shall abstain from vot-
ing.
Sees Gain II USSR Left
He said If this section were
enforced the Soviet Union might
decide to walk out. as Hungary
did last December. Then he
added:
IF the action of the USSR
during the Korean and Hun
garian conflicts are examples of
what We must contemplate for
the future, the UN. will have
a better chance of survival with
out the Soviet Union than with
It. believe this to be the case"
The occasion for his speech
was the first Of a series of lee
lures arranged by Georgetown
University in memory of the late
Rev. Edmund "A. Walsh. ST.,
founder Of the Georgetown For
eign Service School.
The Knowland attack on the
U.N. comes at a time when he
is serving as an American dele
gate to the current meeting of
the General Assembly. In that
capacity he sat in on the trou-
bled days last fall, when the
organization was attempting to
deal with the crisis. both in
Egypt and in Hungary.

Separate divisions for t Il e
