Two days after the frightful twister crashed down on the center of this historic Missis- sippi River town, workers still dug toward the bottom of the debris. They sought another missing, child and a man last seen going into a store just before the storm struck. Officials feared that the youngster was trapped in the wreckage of a downtown theater where the bodies of five other children were removed earlier.

President Eisenhower, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great Britain and Premier Federal Hands Tied By Court WASHINGTON (UP) The supreme court dealt a blow to the government's anti-gambling drive yesterday and ruled that a slot machine dealer doing business entirely within a single state cannot be forced to register with the attorney general. In another decision, the high court ruled that striking employes may be fired for dis- paraging their employer's product if the criticism has nothing to do with the labor dispute. The tribunal's 5-to-4 decision in the slot machine jcase was a defeat for the justice department which had argued that the registration was necessary to the proper enforcement of a 1951 federal anti-gambling law.

THE DEPARTMENT had argued that it would be difficult to trace an illegally transported slot machine from one state to another unless all the transactions within each state were known. The ruling in the slot machine cases leaves unimpaired the federal law's effectiveness on interstate shipment of "one-armed bandits" except into states where they are legal. The 6-to-3 decision in the labor case narrowed labor's rights under the Taft-Hartley Act. The court majority held there is "no more elemental cause for discharge of an employe than disloyalty to his ployer." IN OTHER decisions, the court: I Agreed to review a New York State law which commercial banks, including national banks, to use the word "savings" in advertising.

The 1951 federal law prohibits the shipment of gambling machines in interstate commerce except to states where their use is legal. Dealers are required to register and file reports on sales and deliveries. CONGRESS PASSED the law as a crime deterrent because it found that the slot machine manufacturing business, centered in Chicago, is allied closely with nationwide crime syndicates. Testimony before the old senate crime committee showed that profits from industry ran into billions of dollars a year.

Witnesses testified that much of-the money was used to pay off public officials to overlook many forms of- syndicated crime. Justice Robert H. Jackson, speaking for the majority, said the justice department's interpretation of the law carries the federal government too far into law enforcement areas reserved to the states.

Purpose of the conference, Governor Pyle said, will be "to discuss our relative positions at this juncture, and explore the' various avenues open to us for What is this Indian water rights question? It is generally conceded, based upon old court decisions, that the Indians are entitled to as much water as they might need. But there must be a limit to everyone's use of water in a state like Arizona where there just isn't enough to go around. Some tribes already have had limits imposed upon them. Take, for instance, the Indians of the Salt River Reservation east of Scottsdale.

In the Kent decree of 1909, handed down before Arizona became a state, the gravity water rights of the Salt River project were fixed and the Idians were given a prior right to 700 miners inches of water out of the Salt and Verde rivers. And In the Sames decree on the Gila, the waters stored in Coolidge Dam were divided between the whites and the Indians on a 50-50 basis. But on the Colorado River, no such decree has been handed down up to this time. Attorney General i'K' edinhispeti- Brownell first asked tlon of intervention that the UJ5. Supreme Court hold that the rights of the Indians were "prior and superior" to the rights of both states.

All reclamation law has been based on the theory that state laws should be supreme on the question of water rights. Immediately the questions were raised: What effect can this have on established water rights acquired under state laws? If the Indians are placed on a level superior to the states, can water be taken away from present users who obtained their rights from the states, and expensive reclamation projects rendered waterless to satisfy the Indians' need for water? The clamor raised by the Western governors caused Brownell to withdraw his petition, and he has now dropped his "prior and superior" contention, but. insists on going ahead with an adjudication of Indian water rights. Next comes the question: Can this adjudication be confined to those water rights along the main stream of the river, or will it involve rights on every tributary? And what about established decrees, such as the Kent decree and the Sames decree? If the question is confined to rights along the main stream, the Colorado River Indian Reservation at Parker will be the principal area affected. This reservation has at least 100,000 acres of irrigable land in Arizona.

On it are the Mohave and Chemehuevis who traditionally lived on both sides of the river, but who have all been moved into Arizona. Shall Arizona be required to supply all of the water needed by these Indians? The court can hardly escape that question. Then there is another question that must be answered. The number of the Mohave and Chemehuevis tribesmen is small, but in recent years the government has been resettling Hopls and Navajos on the Colorado River Reservation. Shall water be reserved for all Navajo and Hopi, or shall it be allocated on the basis of a reasonable amount of water for each acre of irrigable land and left at that.

In Arizona and most of the other Western states, water rights and the land are inseparable, so under this, law no water rights could be established that could not be attached to the land. And Arizona law also provides that failure to use water for five years results in a forfeiture of the water right. Are the Indians to be "superior" to these state laws? KIHVAi plea-for leniency "to allow for rehabilitation." AND THEIR faces remained immobile as Judge-Tullar excoriated them for "purposely defying the law."

"These peopie are pledged to practice brotherly love and charity," Kinney told the court. JUDGE TULLAR then solemnly told the defendants: Most of the clamor and outcry has died away and the time has come for you to face up to the majesty of your government and the dignity of the law.

"There, are no mitigating circumstances as you purposely defied the law. "YOU HAVE hidden your crime behind a religious banner." Judge Tullar said he had checked into the doctrine of their belief, and quoted from the sixth chapter of Genesis to refute the doctrine of plural marriage. "The Bible didn't comWrce with polygamy and the word of God shows no warrant for your action," he said. "To force a young girl into a plural marriage is bondage and when you say it was voluntary that is a quibble on words. "You had to be stopped.

These rapid-fire developments plunged hopes for a peaceful settlement in Korea to their lowest point since the current talks opened Oct. 26: American Envoy Arthur H.

Dean submitted a draft agreement for setting up the peace parley that he termed a "final and warned the Reds he would break off the talks unless they accept it "in a reasonable time." South Korea boycotted today's meeting here because the Dean proposal agreed to Communist demands that neutrals be invited to attend the conference. South Korean Foreign Minister Pyun Yung Tae said South Korea will never waver from its opposition to neutral attendance. The Communist rejection apparently was based on Dean's insistence that Russia participate on the Communist side. Bible Distribution Illegal, Court Says TRENTON. N.
