Douglas WASHINGTON— (if) —Southern Democrats were ready .today to rally to Sen. Paul H. Douglas’ sup port in his set-to with President Truman if Douglas ‘‘takes off the gloves” and fights. A check with Southern leaders' made clear that the vital Dixie voters which the Illinois Democrat needs to derail Truman’s select ions for two Illinois Judgeships will be his. but only if Douglas starts swinging. SOUTHERNERS UNIMPRESSED Southerners, who since 1948 have been on starvation rations with Truman when it comes to selec tion of federal office holders, are unimpressed by Douglas’ request that the Chicago and Cook County btr associations ballot on Truman's selections versus his own. The'firesident has named Corne lius J. Harrington and Joseph rwpflbyr to two new Northern dis trict court postrover the men Dou glas recommended to compliance with long standing Benate practice. Douglas has described the presi dent’s choices as “worthy men”— though less worthy than his own choices—and has said his senti ments for the chief executive are of the "kindliest.” Such talk is of the milk-and water variety to Southerners who are experts at derailing president ial appointments they do not like.

(UP) The crest oLa disastrous Missouri River flood roiled toward this metropilltarr area today, but the Red Cross said the ‘real emergency” which de vastated Kansas and Western Mis souri has passed. "There is not another large city in the path of the flood,” Red Cross Midwestern headquarters announc ed here. “We now face only scat tered relief tasks among rural fam ilies in the Missouri-Mississippi River area. NOT IN DANGER Although the highest Mississippi River flood crest in 107 years was still to reach here, the main resi dential and industrial areas of St. Louis were not in danger. Located on high ground ,St. Louis had a comparative few waterfront indus tries and families to worry about.

The report showed a decrease ot nearly 195,000 cattle In feed lots on July 1, the third straight month to show a decline. • It is in the feed lots that cattle, fed on corn and feed grains, grow fat and provide choice ribs and roasts. REDUCED QUALITY Because of price uncertainties due to the beef-rollback controver sy, feeders apparently have decid ed to sit back and let pasture-fed BULLETINS ■BRBEBRHMB^CaMEBBBMEEEEER SEOUL, Korea—(W —A United Nations official said tonight that according to his information the Commun ists wKI complete supplying their front lines with food and ammunition by tomorrow or Saturday and “will then be in position to launch a full scale attack." waterfront flood damage already had passed the $1,000,000,000 mark. At Jefferson City, a vital bridge spanning the bloated Missouri Riv er was threatened as a record ‘‘Big Muddy" crest of 35 feet swept east ward. Engineers piled 96 tons of scrap metal onto the bridge to WPight it down so the swirling waters would not carry it away. "It’s taking a terrible beating,” Jefferson City police said. 165400 HOMELESS The Red Cross estimated that 165,300 persons along a 200-mile stretch of the Missouri in Eastern Kansas and Central Missouri had been driven from their homes by the flood.

FIVE CENTS PER COPY DUSalle Blasts Controls Vote WASHINGTON—(If)—Price chief Michael V. DiSalle said today that the House has voted virtually to kill price controls. The angry price stabilizer aim ed his fire at the House-approved amendment to pay costs plus a guaranteed profit on every item to the riddled controls extension bill. “It immediately increases the level of price ceilings on practical ly all food items,” DiSalle said. The end result, he said, would be administrative chaos and “all con trols would have to be dropped” be cause of the ensuing public "dis gust and discouragement with the pricing program.” REVERSAL SOUGHT Harried administration forces concentrated on getting a reversal of the price control amendment as the bpi moved toward final House passage, probably tomorrow. Administration forces abapdoned hope of stopping new moves today to boost federal rent ceilings and relax credit controls. But Rep. J.

The fateful meeting starts at 10 a. m. (7 p. m. Thursday EST.) “We will come to an agreement or there will be an air of finality about the disagreement,” Lt. Col. W. J. Preston said.

N. and communist teams are discussing the program for actual cease-fire talks which would start immediately if a program were approved. It was believed certain, even though not officially confirmed, that the conference had come to the I crisis point over Red insistence that any armistice agreement include a decision on how and when all for eign troops should get out of Ko rea. Td this the Allies will not agree. STRICKING POINT But for the one sticking point, it; was disclosed, the U.
