Storms Damage Mid-West, Kill One, Injure Eight IBy the Associated Press New York, Nov. 14 Rudolf Bing's streamlined Metropolitan Opera began its second season last night with a new production and new singers but pretty much the same opening night audience. The few new faces in the opera- going crowd included the British actor, Rex Harrison, and his wife, Lilli Palmer.

But lobby crowds cheered many familiar faces Singers Gladys Swarthout, Marguerite Piazza, Jeannette McDonald and Eleanor Steber; Actresses Faye Emerson and Ilona Massey, and Manager Bing, accompanied by the British Ambassador, Sir Oliver Franks, and Lady Franks. They saw a new production of Verdi's Bright, Modern Look Direction by Margaret Webster. costumes and sets by Rolf Gerard and choregraphy by Zachary Water Scarcity Hurts Economy, Brannan Says Houston, Texas, Nov. 14 (JP) Secretary of Agriculture Brannan declared today that water is becoming more and more a limiting factor to American progress. "There is serious need," he said, "for improved measures that will permit us to make more effective use of the rain that falls on the land and water that flows from it." In a talk before an Association of Land Grant Colleges and Universities meeting, Brannan said floods and droughts this year should make the nation realize the need for more effective water control and conservation measures.

"Taught By Pain" "This year people in many sections of the country have been taught by pain by pain of floods in the Missouri Basin and the upper Middle West by pain of drought in the Northwest, Southwest and East," he said. Water shortages in some cities and in some industrial areas, he said, are hampering development. There is need, he added, for electrical power which could be drawn from unharnessed streams. Past efforts to control water, he said, have brought benefits but have also created costly problems. Efforts to control floods with levees alone, he said, usually resulted in greater damage when the levees were broken or overflowed.

"We Are Learning" "We are learning," he said, "the need for a comprehensive national policy to guide the development. use and conservation of land and water resources." Brannan said there is need for 'intensive efforts to hold more of the rain on the land where it falls. "The northeast," he added, "is hungry for low-cost power. The St. Lawrence seaway and power program could provide just about the cheapest hydroelectric power in the world.

But we're waiting for the go sign. The full "resources of the Niagara, Connecticut and Delaware rivers are still unharnessed." 5 Newsmen Move To Quash Writs Lake Charles, Nov. 14 (JP) Five Lake Charles newsmen filed motions today to quash indictments accusing them of defaming sixteen public officials and three admitted gamblers during an anti-gambling crusade. Defense Attorney Clement Moss filed motions to quash all the indictments and demurrers in all of the cases. Named in the indictments were Thomas B.

Shearman, publisher of the Lake Charles American Press; William Hugh Shearman, copub-lisher; Kenneth L. Dixon, managing editor; James Norton, city editor; Carter George, reporter. Plaintiffs Include Jurors They are accused of defaming District Attorney Griffin T. Hawkins, Sheriff Henry Reid, Assistant District Attorney Melvin Wetherill and the thirteen members of the Parish (county) police jury. One indictment names Dixon only and charges him with defaming Hawkins, Wetherill and the police jury in his column, "Charley Lake Says," and an editorial entitled "Legal Double-Talk." Moss said his motion to quash is based on grounds that Hawkins personally advised the grand jury when it was considering possible defamation charges when Hawkins himself was an alleged injured party.

In other indictments, Dixon, the Shearmans and George are accused of defaming three admitted gamblers. Sam Smith, E. J. Miller and Claude Williams. Bradley Arrives For British Talks London, Nov.

Court Orders II Orphans Kept Home For Time A series of tornadoes and violent electrical and windstorms struck damaging blows across wide areas of the midcontinent yesterday.

The twisters killed at least one person and injured eight others. Property damage was expected to run in hundreds of thousands of dollars. Heavy rain hit many areas. Winds of 100 miles an hour whipped across communities in the path of the tor nadoes which struck in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and Kentucky. Cold, Warm Air Clash Weather Bureau forecasters at tributed the severe storms to the clash of cold air against the warm southern air which had extended over the mid-West the last few days.

Scores of homes were damaged. Communications were disrupted, trees uprooted and traffic slowed in many cities and towns in the path of the destructive gales and electrical storms. The large intense storm centered in northern Wisconsin last night. It brought showers and thunderstorms from the southern Great Lakes region southward through the lower Ohio Valley to the middle Mississippi Valley. A severe earthquake rocked the Eel River Valley, 45 miles south of Solov gave the 80-year-old cpera a bright, modern look and most of the audience seemed to like it.

An example of the new regime at the Met was an elaborately staged and costumed ballet in the triumphal scene. Janet Collins was starred the first Negro to be a featured dancer at the Met. W. G. Rogers, Associated Press arts editor, described it as "boldly exotic and sensual." Perhaps not "authentically Egyptian," Rogers said, but "the first 'Aida ballet I ever saw that a Pharoah might actually have enjoyed." Rogers described some of the staging as "admirable dramatic arrangement." He said the show was "rousing, good, theatrical and colorful." Two New Voices Heard New singers in the "Aida" cast were George London, an American other had known of it.

The Babbs wanted it that way. "They were adorable. We got along fine, said Mrs. Babbs. The Babbs had driven here hast ily to make their adoption proposal in person.

Douglas MacArthur last night told Seattle and the nation that the Truman Administration is following a policy which, if continued, can lead to the ruination of the country.

The general devoted only 3 minutes of a 45-minute address to the Seattle centennial which he was invited here to open to which labor groups had urged him to confine his remarks. But he referred frequently to the pioneer spirit and attitude in his blistering attack on the Federal Government. He never mentioned Mr. Truman or the Democratic party by name but he left no doubt that he felt the "ruinous processes" of which he spoke could be halted only by a change of administration. Mitchell Hits Attitude "The people have it in their hands," he declared, "to restore morality, wisdom and vision to the direction of our.

foreign and domestic affairs." One of the men who had asked him to refrain from discussing politics charged him with being a candidate for President of the United States. Representative Hugh Mitchell Wash.) made the charge within minutes after the General concluded his talk. "I have long suspected that Mac-Arthur fancied himself in the role as the Republican nominee. I am more firmly of that opinion after listening to him tonight," Mitchell said. Sees Way Of Life Ruined MacArthur told the 9,000 persons who squeezed into the university's athletic pavilion that what he termed the Administration's blun ders are leading to a third world war, its domestic policies are drifting into socialism and spending and taxing are imperiling the whole structure of the republic.

"Extravagance upon extrava gance have so burdened our people with taxation and inflation that our traditionally high standard of life has become largely fictitious and illusory," he said. "Free enterprise is imperiled by our drift through the back door of confiscatory taxa tion toward state socialism." MacArthur also turned his verbal barrage on President Truman's re cent security order, which he termed "an information blackout the like of which was never be fore attempted even during war." Meanwhile, Master Sergeant Wesley N. Hawkins, of St. Peters burg, was selected to receive MacArthur's personal greeting to day in behalf of 1,291 home-coming veterans from Korea. The general was at dockside to greet the fighting men, many of whom served under him in the Korean theater belore he was re lieved of his command.

Hawkins was selected for the honor as the most decorated man aboard the transport, the Gen. Hugh J. Gaffey. Taft Calls Korean War Truman's Harrisburg, Nov. 14 (JP) Sena tor Robert A.

Taft Ohio) de clared last night that the United States cannot be safe from war as long as President Truman remains in office. In an attack on American for eign policy, Taft described the Korean hostilities as a "Truman war." "He (the President) usurped the power of Congress to make that war," said the Ohioan. "It's a Tru man war. He did it, I believe, with out the slightest authority." In a brief mention of the Atlan tic pact and its provisions for send ing several United States divisions to Europe. Taft causticly asserted: The Atlantic pact did not justity the sending of any troops to Europe." He spoke at the closing dinner meeting of the Pennsylvania Coun cil of Republican Women.

Not Needed In That State The Senator says he doesn't plan to enter his name in Pennsylvania's presidential preference primary election April 22. His consent, however, is hot need ed in Pennsylvania. He plans to submit his name to Wisconsin and Ohio voters only. Taft declared his opposition to a bipartisan foreign policy, saying: "A me-too policy is trying to get the people in between. The waver ing foreign policy of the Administration has brought about the greatest crisis that this country has ever faced.

5763 Howard Mulberry ALL This America Pontiac, Nov. 14 (JP) The eleven Murray Moore orphans were ordered kept in Michigan today in the care of relatives and two court-appointed guardians. Oakland County Probate Judge Arthur E. Moore made the ruling after a hearing. Its effect was to reject, for the time being at 'least, all offers of adoption of the children, including that of Mr.

and Mrs. John Donald BBaBbBb. of Pittsburgh. Judge Moore ruled however, that the children may visit the Babbs in Pittsburgh on week ends for the next two months. Meanwhile, the Babbs' adoption offer will be investigated, he said.

Moss and Mercure will handle all financial affairs. Judge Moore, in announcing his decision, said he preferred that all adoption offers be investigated fully before such means be resorted to. The court's decision came down after about an hour and a half's consultation in which the participants included the two eldest children, Gerard, 15, and Beverly Ann, 13. Saw Them Last Night The well-to-do Babbs spent last night with the children at their home in Leonard, a small town 25 miles from here. It was a private meeting.

None Truman Regime 'Scandalous Nixon Says Boston. Nov. 14 Senator Richard Nixon Cal.) says the Truman Administration will go down in history as the "scandal-a- day" administration. "We have had' corruption in our history, but never before have we seen corruption defended by those in high places," he said last night. "If they won't recognize or ad mit that corruption exists, how can we expect them to clean it up?" Striking personally at President Truman, the youthful Senator de clared "The President has charged in case after case that the exposes of corruption represent nothing more than calculated smears of what he terms an honest administration.

I challenge the President to be specific. Tax Collectors Cited "Let him name, for example, which of the six discharged collectors of internal revenue was not guilty of the charges of payoiT, bribes and incompetence which were leveled against them. "Can he deny that Harry Vaughan got his deep freezers, Lauretta Young her mink coat. Donald Dawson his free hotel room, and his personal physician and unconscionable profit from playing the grain commodity market at a time when the President was castigating such 'profiteers in human misery. Assails Red-Baiting In a speech at a $100-a-plate din ner of Massachusetts Republicans, the 38-year-old Nixon cautioned members of his party that "indis criminate name calling and profes sional Red-baiting can hurt our cause more than it can help it."

'Thinker' Took Chance With Jaw Spokane, Noy. 14 (TP) That fellow who posed for Au-guste Rodin's classic statue "The Thinker" looks mighty good to art lovers, but he probably ruined his dentures if he assumed that pose very early in life.

1 At least, that's what Dr. Fred J. Dingier, president of the Washing ton State Dental Association, im plied in a speech here yesterday. The Seattle dentist didn refer to Rodin by name, but he said the chin-in-hand posture results in dis figurement of a soft-boned child's teeth.
