July 21 iP) Senator Tart (R-Ohio), Saturday called the Korean War a useless war that has accomplished nothing toward punishing aggression. "The net result of the whole proceeding," he said, "is the loss of 80,000 American casualties and billions of dollars and the destruction of the very country we undertook to defend." Taft, the Republican policy lead tion in Asia, Taft said, "there was a strong pro-Communist influence in the Far Eastern division of the State Department. 'The administration," he added, "appointed a hatchet committee headed by Senator Tydings to apply a complete whitewash to the whole smelly situation In the Stat Department." He was referring to the investigation rnnducted last year by time domestic program." Similarly, the senator said, "the left-wingers throughout the country are more than delighted to accomplish their purposes through a vast spending for military purposes if they cannot accomplish them directly." In speaking of the Russian threat, Taft said it exists "because of the weak and wrong-headed policies of tive.

BUT HE SAID that "as far as we can see there is no plan to bring to the world that permanent peace for which all of us yearn," nor he said does the Truman administration propose any reduction in the burdens it has placed en the people. Taft laid Mr. Truman had advocated "the socialization of the country" before the present emergency through price control, rent control, government operation of business and other measures. "Naturally, when the tremendous spending program forces many of such measures on the people," said The Austin American y--' er in the Senate, said current peace negotiations in Korea "will only SonatP fnreisn relations subcom. postpone the ultimate danger." this and the preceding administra HE ADDbD, nowever, in a speecn tion at Tehran, Yalta, Potsdam and mittee of charges by i Sena tor mc prepared for a Maryland Republi in China."

(UP) Cloudbursts whipped by 100-mile per hour winds left 11 dead, scores injured, and millions of dollars of damage in Minnesota, Wisconsin and South Dakota Saturday. Minneapolis and St. Paul got the worst of the storm which struck without warning late Friday night. The worst thunderstorm in Twin City history caved buildings, smashed Air Force and Navy planes and swept lake waters over highways and streets.

CLOUDBURSTS which dumped as much as 8.3 inches of water on parts of southern Minnesota and Wisconsin sent many streams out of their banks. A flash flood in Viroqua, ripped a home off its foundations while a family of six was sleeping inside, and apparently all six drowned. The bodies of Ernest Suiter and his daugher, Judy, 4, were found a mile downstream. Mrs. Suiter and three other children were believed to have died also.

Many streams, including the Kick-apoo River were filled by the heavy rain. Families fled from Soldier's Grove, Wis. A church at Newton, was swept away. Some 60 to 65 homes were inundated at Rochester, and residents evacuated. Streams were out of their banks in many spots.

Watertown, S. was struck by the edge of a tornado which cut off communication for ten hours and wrecked grain ready for harvest. Railroads had to reroute many trains in southern Minnesota. The Wisconsin National Guard, returning from training at Camp Ripley, was on some of the trains rerouted. The suddenness of the storm caught the area unprepared.

WINDS FLATTENED a tent in which 1,500 persons were attending a revival, but no one was killed. Worshippers picked their way to safety over live power lines, guided by continuous flashes of lightning. Rev. Willard Cantelon, a revivalist, grabbed a tent pole and was carried into the air with it by the wind. His collarbone was broken.

A super-market collapsed with bout 40 weekend shoppers inside. Mrs. Esther Colberg, about 60, and Michael Brinda, 38, were killed.

Coercion Claimed After Treason Guilt NEW YORK, July 21.

Martin James Monti admitted in a federal court hearing Saturday that he pleaded guilty to treason in World War II after he had been informed the plea would save him from a possible death sentence or life imprisonment. The 33-year-old former Air Force flier, now serving a 25-year sentence at Leavenworth (Kan.) penitentiary, seeks to withdraw the 1949 guilty plea in a bid for freedom. He admitted he wrote some propaganda for the Nazis, but argued that his former attorneys "coerced' him into his plea of guilty. Federal Judge Robert A.
