The Red Cross estimated 0,000 families were homeless or went back to damaged dwellings. Still, the destruction of last week- id came nowhere near the severity of the Aug. 19 floods. In Connecticut alone that disaster took 74 lives and caused more than 215 million dollars in damage, compared 16 dead and missing in the second round of floods.

Army Engineers, who did 12 million dollars worth of repairs after Diane, figured the new floods left them with four million dollars worth of work to do. Some of this work will be a matter of repairing once again the facilities they had fixed before. Some of the repair work will be new. Of the 48 Connecticut towns hit by the latest floods, 28 hadj suffered damage from Diane. The New Haven Railroad, hit so hard it had to suspend operations for a time, restored some service yesterday and had even more trains running today.

The New Haven estimated its most recent flood damage amounted to half a million dollars, compared to a 10-million-dollar loss in the Aug. 19 floods. Highway washouts snarled traffic throughout the region. Emergency repairs eased the congestion to a degree, but as late as yesterday afternoon cars were backed up for 15 miles by a detour around a unsuccessful convention fight for damaged section of the Merrltt the nomination in 1952, said in an (interview Kefauver won't get his NORWALK, the rampaging floodwaters of the Norwalk River had passed, this office building in downtown Norwalk gives evidence of the destructive force of the flood.

Outside of Connecticut, upstate New York suffered the heaviest damage this time, with 11 persons counted dead because of the rain and floods.

Floodwaters from streams and rivers in the Catskill Mountains littered communities along their banks with silt' and debris. Ellenvffle, N.Y., some 65 miles above New York City, figured damage to public property alone amounted to $400,000. In Pennsylvania seven persons were counted dead, all from auto accidents In the pouring rain. Rivers and streams began to recede before inflicting serious damage. Massachusetts counted 'five dead and estimated that highway flood damage amounted to In Rhode Island two were dead.

The Blackstone River threatened to repeat its August deluge but finally began to recede without causing great damage. New Jersey's worst damage was along The Ramapo River, where more than 100 persons returned to evacuated homes. Several' other rivers had threatened heavy dam- support next year.

He said those Democrats are "mistaken" who believe they will have a comparatively easy time electing a president if President she said.

There may be brief talks with Dillon Anderson, Eisenhower's assistant on national security affairs, between the meetings with Dulles and Brownell. Yesterday, Wilson and Radford outlined a prospective budget to the President year starting next July 1. It calls for continuing military spending around the current, year's estimate of billion or even a little higher, possibly as much as 500 million to a billion more. Wilson said his department would not go to aJty "extreme in cutting the military strength to balance the budget." Speaking on what one reporter described as apprehension among some lawmakers that the armed forces might be reduced "to a dangerous level" in "the spirit of Geneva," Wilson replied that was "not in contemplation." "Not," he said, there is a recognized important change in the situation in the world, and there is no indication as far as I am concerned that that could happen quickly enough to make another radical change." Adm. Radford agree that "there would have to be a radical change in the world situation" to justify any substantial further cuts.

As the President gets better day by day, his paper work is increasing. But the big news around the Denver White House is the President's own progress.
