Armed Services Committee, said, Monday eight reeerve divisions were In a 'fairly good state and training and He made the "educated" guess" that if there is a call-up, it would be from among these Infantry divisions The 28th in Massachusetts, 28th in Pennsylvania, 38th In 43nd in New York, and 47th In Min nesota.

The 30th Armored Di vision in Tennessee, me own Armored in New Jersey, and the 30th mechanized division in North Carolina also were among divisions, mentioned by Bray.

The body of 11-year-old Mike Henley was found in a tree after the family car was swept away by the flooding Blackwa-ter River near Holden, southeast of Kansas City.

Rescuers searched futilely for a woman whose car was swept off a bridge across the flooding Platte River east of St. Joseph.
