Prison Cons (Continued from Page 1) While the Army fought the Sherman Field battle, tricky Missouri valley weather posed new problems on 700 miles of the flooding river. What worried the flood fight ers was the question: How much will it rain? And where? Rain Menace All the experts would say was that a chance of heavy rain ex ists. But they couldn't tell yet whether It would hit the Missou ri basin, especially the overload ed area from St, Joseph, Mo., to Kansas City. Even if it rained a full inch In the Kaw Kansas basin, thev said, it would raise the Missouri at Kansas City only about a foot. That would still be well be low the level the protecting dikes were built to stand.

Rioting, which had been confined to one-half of the building, swept into the other half, and prisoners moved on the administration building from two sides. Brooks issued "shoot to kill" orders to the badly out-numbered guards and state police al ready on the scene. Armed With Cleavers "We'll stack them up In rows if they come past there," said Brooks, pointing to doors about 150 feet away. The convicts, armed with meat cleavers, huge carving knives and other weapons taken from the main kitchen, would have had the easiest avenue of escape if they had reached the adminis tration building. Armed with meat cleavers, huge carving knives and other weapons seized in the prison kitchens, the inmates carved a path of destruction through five cellblocks, freeing additional prisoners as they went. Dangerous mental inmates were freed as the rioters moved through half of the cellblocks which form the outer wall of the prison. Guards and state police at ma chine gun posts atop the build ings kept the prisoners from breaking into the administration building from where escape wuold be easy. Three guards were injured in their escape from the rioters, 13 Red Migs (Continued from Page 1) The Allied raiders then with drew and fought the Reds for four hours with rifles.

Prominent as an observer nearby will be Jack Hayes, state civil defense director with head quarters in Salem. Hayes came down here last week as special representative of Gov. McKay to observe personally the first publicly-viewed A-bomb explos ion in the continental limits of the United States. Officers and men participat ing in the test shot have quar ters in the Desert Rock tent camp, which was built only a few months ago by the 369th engineer regiment. The engi neer outfit was activated in Sa lem In 1946 and called to duty in Octobed, 1950. This atomic test, which at tracted radio and magazine men from all over the nation, will be named after the camp the Salem outfit helped build, "Des sert Rock IV." The blast, which will be the 27th known A-bomb test by the United States will be made somewhere on the 250 square miles of desert flat land known as Yucca Flat over the hill from Camp Dessert Rock. Yucca Flat Is completely surrounded by good sized hills and mountains and thus offers an ideal testing site. The Willamette valley offi cers and men participating in the Tuesday test will learn first hand, but from a "safe distance," how troops should be disposed under the threat of an atomic attack. All possible safety precautions have been taken for all partici pating troops, Gen. Harry P. Storke, Desert Rock Camp com mander, told me. Truman Warns ! "This is a consideration over nd above the drastic effect a steel shutdown would have on our total defense effort." Challenges Congress Truman repeated what he had said in a message April 9 that he ordered "temporary opera tion" of the steel mills by the government "with the outmost reluctance; that the idea of gov ernment operation of the steel mills was thoroughly distasteful to me; and that I wanted to sec it ended as soon as possible." The president went on then to challenge congress to come up with a better way to deal with the situation created by the steel wage dispute if it does not like what he has done. ed off four rail tunnels near Songjin with her 16-inch guns.
