Atomic Plans Stolen, Returned In Flatbush NEW YORK, May 17 (JP) A - government car carrying 10 non- . secret atomic energy commission blueprints was stolen from a Brooklyn street corner today and abandoned two hours later with contents intact. Police said they believed the car had been taken "for a joy ride' by persons bound for a good time at Coney Island. It was aban doned on the Belt Parkway near the famous playground. None of the AEC blueprints were missing from a brief case that an atom plant inspector left in the car while he went to lunch. John Burt, a public relations man at the Brookhaven National Laboratories for research in peacetime atomic energy use, lo cated at Brookhaven, said the blueprints would not have been "particularly dangerous in, the hands of an unauthorized person. In Washington, a spokesman for the Atomic Energy Comrnis sion said the missing papers were simply routine blueprints for non-secret atomic c work. The spokesman said a check with Brookhaven showed there was no cause for alarm in the loss. "The worst thing is that the government still is out one auto mobile," the spokesman added. Brooklyn police sped radio cars to all bridges, ferry slips and main highways leading out of the borough to Manhattan, Staten Is land and the rest of Long Island. Atomic Energy Commission of ficials said the blueprints dealt with construction work at Brook haven on a new nuclear reactor. This is a pile of fissionable atom ic material used for research in controlfed chain reactions.

The Canadian press estimated that about one-fourth of the city's 350,000 population had left for higher ground since the ram paging Red River of the north rose over flood stage 27 days agd. The river stood at 30.2 feet at 8 a.m. today unchanged since 6 p.m. yesterday. , . . This puts the muddy waters of the Red 12.2 feet above flood lev el, make it the worst the city has seen since 1826. Most of the flooded area is residential, with mud and debris seeping through many of the city's finest homes. Unofficial estimates of damage in the busi ness districts ranged from Get war Alums Of '91 To Be Honored In Planetarium Brauer Will Get Faculty Award At Dinner Tonight jQhn Motley Morehead, Un iversity alumnus of the class of 1891 and famed as an indus trialist and philanthropist, will receive the annual Di-Phi award highest honor be stowed by the campus debat ing societies at a banquet to night in Morehead Building.

The citation for the award cites recipient Morehead "not only for his services to the state and na tion, but also upon his great con tributions to the University, which include in part the More- ! head Planetarium, and the set- ing up of the scholarships which will be awarded to individuals who have demonstrated leader ship and show promise of future distinction." , Last year's recipient was Sen ator Frank Graham, former pres ident of the Greater University. . Morehead, a native of Spray, now living in Rye, N. Y., is a grandson of North Carolina Gov ernor John Motley Morehead. Winnipeg Threatened $50,000,000 to $250,000,000. Officials called for intensified patrols along the dikes at the river, winding through the city, and at the levee foundations. Mud and rain caused the sand bag reinforcements to slip and slide. Some 5,000 workers are employed in the flood control op eration. South of Winnipeg, all the way to the U. S. border, a flood lake of 540 square miles has covered the wide river valley, inundating every town but one Letellier. With rich farmlands under water, crop damage was estimated up to $15,000,000. Many of the towns are deserted. Winnipeg's flood troubles started when unusually heavy snow in North Dakota and north ern Minnesota melted quickly. Little of the water was absorbed by the ground at first because temperatures " in the minus 40s had frozen the land several feet.
