Record Kansas Floods Leave 10 Dead, Millions

In Property

TOPEKA. Kas., July 12 - (AP) C. Record-breaking floods surged over Eastern and Central Kansas today leaving 12 dead and mil- lions in property damage, and all the weather forecasters could promise was more rain.

Teti of the flood deaths were in Kansas. two in Kansas City, Mo. Two other persons were killed by lightning at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., which was not affected by floods.

While Missouri was plagued by. flood troubles, the worst was in Kansas.

Torrents already were through many of the state prin- cipal cities, and Wichita, the largest. was warned its turn would come tonight.

Hardest hit were the cities along the Kansas River. including Topeka. the state capital: Law- rence, home or the university, and Manhattan.

Through rail and highway travel were at a standstill. Local tra- vel was possible if one kept to the ridges and hilltops.

Train: Stalled

Dozens of trains were stalled. The fortunate passengers were those stalled at terminal points.

The Chicago-Los Angeles deluxe coach train, El Capitan, has been stranded at Cedar Point, Kas., more than 30 hours by the flood- ing Cottonwood River.

The first effort to rescue the 346 stranded passengers by boat failed because of the terrific cur- rent.

A second attempt was being made by buses. A dry section of highway. is alongside the track on which the train is stalled and re- lief workers were trying to find inmo means of getting through to .his. Prospects were doubtful, DOWCVCT.

The long period of flooding has taken its toll of telephone and telegraph lines and communica- tions were snapping. The re-

Sharp Climb Reported In Egg Prices

iBy The Canadian Press)

Rising egg prices are taking an- other crack at Canadian house- wife's punch-drunk budget.

A Canadian Press survey shows egg prices across the country lumped two to it cents a dozen in the past week.

Montreal chain stores sold 8885 at 93 cents a. dozen. up ll cents, the largest increase reported. Eggs were as high as 97 cents in smaller Montreal stores but people were still buying them.

Prices in Toronto were 86 to 88 cents a dozen for grade A large. up 15 cents from April and 2-1 cents in a year.

The old law of supply and de- mand is blamed. Shortages were reported in all cities surveyed.

In Ottawa. where prices climbed six cents last week to 90. a whole- saler said many producers had left the business. cutting supplies. others were late getting chicks. which meant eggs wouldn't begin to hit the market in quantity for another two to three weeks.

Prices at Windsor Jumped seven cents last week to 90 cents a dozen retail. believed to be an all-time high. A two-cent boost is expected at Edmonton where eggs sold 01 to '16 cents a. dozen.

Blame weather In B. C.

West coast producers blame sum- mer heat for dwindling supplies. British Columbia. production drop- ped from 7,870 to 5,500 cases a week with production off nearly 16 per cent in the last week alone.

Prices at Victoria were 82 cents and 85 at Vancouver. Dealers It New Westminster said prices there might reach 31 a dozen. At Hali- fax egga were 85 cents for grade A lo cents more than two weeks ago.

A spokesman for a Toronto pro- duce co-operative said iowcrcd pro- duction followed lossof the ex- port trade to Great Britain. This coupled with heavy demands for home consumption and United States markets, reduced storage supply, leading to higher prices.

There was also the problem of increased costs to producers and the yearly "deficiency" period when hens stopped laying.

Storage Supplies Down

A. I-'. Darnell. district inspector at Windsor for the Dominion Gov- ernment Marketing and Product- ion Services, saidistored egg sup- plies were so per cent below that stored last year.

shortages were eased by imports from the United States averaging 3.500 cases a week but these were not table quality and were mostly used for egg powder.

Future outlook for egg supplies was good. he said. Chick hatching across Canada. with the exception of Manitoba. increased 20 per cent this year but the effects

is Similar.lo Allanlic Pact In Some Jiespecls

WASHINGTON. July ln- (AP)- -'rhe United states, Australia, and New zealand agreed today in a three-way treaty to regard an armed attack on any of these countries in the Pacific area as "dangerous" to the safety of all.

The treaty pledges that each in event of attack will "act to meet the common danger in accordance with its constitutional processes."

The agreement was installed at

the State Department by U.S. Am- bassador John Foster Dulles and envoys of Australia and New Zea- land. The security alliance is part of the general Second World War settlement in the Pacific sponsor- ed by the United States and Brit- ain. The basls for it is the propos- ed Japancse peace treaty unveiled today.

Another part of the settlement is :2 proposed arrangement by which Japan will let the U. S. re- tain troops and bases in and near the Japanese homeland pending the ultimate creation ofla broader security setup in the Pacific.

The three-way agreement fol- lows the general pattern of the 12- power Atlantic Treaty but differs in wording. The North Atantic compact states that all the 12 countries agree that an armed at- tack against any one of them in Europe or North America "shall be considered an attack against them all."

The Pacific security agreement was worked out as a first step to- ward a "more comprehensive system of regional security in the Pacific area.”

Crop Conditfioiis Good But Farm Labor Problem Acute

All field crops in the Province are making extraordinary pro- gress under ideal growing condit- ions, Mr. W. R. Shaw, Deputy Min- ister of Agriculture. told The Guardian yesterday. Pastures are particularly favorable and so thick is the mat of hay in old meadows that great difficulty is being ex- perienced with hay mowers in getting it cut. he stated.

The farm labor situation is acute and many farmers are seriously handicapped in view of the heavy hay yields and shortage of avail- able hclp.' "I consider the farm producer is facing the most 54- rious farm labor situation in the history of this Province and some special measures should be under- taken io induce young men from both town and country to render assistance in saving of important farm crops.” Mr. Shaw declared.

He said that a very disappoint- ing sltuation existed with regard to fruit production. The straw-

”bcrr,v crop has been very mucii

below anticipated yields and many consumers will be minus their usual quantity for jam and 'can- ning purposes.

"Plums and cherries are al- most at the zero mark in yields and while apples show good prom- ise in some sectors the crop in general will be exceedingly poor. There is no doubt but that frost and cold weather have been con- tributing factors," he stated. i

"Livestock prices continue to soar and hog prices have reached an all-time peak of 41 cents at Monclon and 40 cents at Char- lottetown. Where this will end and what will be the net result

wouldn't be felt until fall.

.jmf:-: I am not prepared at the moment to state, but I think these prices have reached a danger point.

”Profits from meats should be favorable, particularly in view of the receding costs of feed sup- plies," Mr. Shaw added. He point- ed out that barley and oats had been reduced in price from 518 to 012 a ton and that some island grain is being offered for as low as '70 cents a bushel.

"it is difficult under present conditions to adjust either one's thinking or spending. The whole level has been elevated to a diff- icult heighi. More money is be- ing earned and greater expend- itures are necessary in cost and services. The final result is not quite the some as when prices and costs were very much lower. for greatcr dangers exist under these new and unusual conditions.

"It is indeed a time of great change in our thinking. our spend- ing and our agricultural program. These changes are now quite ev-

ident and will possibly bring about a drastic realignment in our efforts of farm production

and economy." Mr. Shaw conclud- ed. '

LONDON, July 12 - (Reuters) - First world reaction to the draft Japanese peace treaty. pub- lished today, was cool and unre- sponsive.

No great cheers greeted the doc- ument, except in Washington. whose representatives fathered it.

France told its Washington and London ambassadors to voice "strong objections." Nationalist

China protested against its ex- clusion from the treaty -- and so did Communist China.

Japanese press comment so far has been favorable. but no official comment was forthcoming im- mediately. -

World-Wide Reaction

Tokyo-The government expects the Allies to ratify the treaty by next May. according to the Kyodo News Agency. Japan will prob- ably ratify it by October.

London-Foreign Secretary Her- bert Morrison told the House of Commons that if the treaty had been withheld it would have had deplorable effects. not only in Japan. but throughout Asia.

Commenting on the problem of which Chinese governments C Na- tionalist or Communist - should be included in the treaty. he said: ”I would have been happier if we could have had a tidy solu- tion about the Chinesc situation. but it was impossible. . . . There is a difference of view. . . ."

(Britain recognizes Communist China. the U. S. does not.)

Morrison said the interests of the Chinese people had been safe-guarded. however.

Political observers in London thought India might reject the treaty. India is known to-have two main objectives -- that there will be no stable Far Eastern set- tlement without the participation of Communist China. and that the treaty will widen the East- West gulf.

Canberra -. Australian newspa- per editorials suggest Japan is getting off lightly on military limitations.

The External Affairs Minister. Richard C. Casey, said Australia had always been anxious about the security clauses of the peace treaty.

"While containing an under- taking by Japan to refrain from the threat or use of force. me draft treaty does not contain any precise limitation on Japanese rearmament." he said. .

Opposition leader Herbert Evait described the draft as "shocking."
