Wichita Digs Out After Floods
WICHITA — (U.P.) Cleanup operations in the wake of flash floods which drove hundreds from their homes in Wichita made rapid headway today.
Water, receding in most areas hit by the flood, still stood several feet deep in some sections, however, and emergency workers remained on duty.
In downtown Wichita, storm sewers were inadequate to handle the torrents pouring into them and surface water entered several business buildings.
Rain which measured 7.75 inches in 24 hours on one rain gauge in the north part of the city sent flood waters pouring from a drainage ditch and Cowskin Creek to spread over nearly 100 square blocks early yesterday. It stood window-high in many houses, Occupants were taken to safety by boat.
The sheriff's office estimated a total of 600 persons were homeless at the peak of the flood. Several hundred were housed yesterday at Red Cross headquarters and in an elementary school building.
Water flowed over major highways and rural roads,*but the last of the principal routes, U.S. 81 leading North, was re-opened early today. Telephone service was disrupted in some exchanges.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles braced for an eye-smarting "smog red" alert and rains spattered the plains states.
Much nearby farm land was under water, and water covered part of the Wichita stockyards, but there was no loss of livestock.
Domenico Gagliardo, 59, professor of economics, is in critical condition at the Lawrence Memorial Hospital following a heart attack early Friday morning at his home.
Heart Attack Hits Gagliardo
He was placed in an oxygen tent at the hospital. Dr. E. Grey Diamond, head of the department of medicine at the Medical/Center in Kansas City, Kan., was called into the case Saturday about Mr. Gagliardo's condition.
Mr. Gagliardo hud not been ill before the attack.
Death Of Flint Mourned By Press, University
The death of L. N. "Daddy" Flint has brought expressions of sorrow from members of the University staff and professional journalists.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy: "In the death of Prof. Flint, the University family has sustained a great professional and personal loss. One of the most beloved members of the faculty, his tenure spanned many generations of students. The record of accomplishments of graduates of the KU School of Journalism are eloquent proof of his professional and inspirational talent."
Roy A. Roberts, publisher of the Kansas City Star;
"Dad Flint was one of the most beloved men in the newspaper business. He left his mark on Kansas journalism. I cannot imagine anyone whose passing brings more sorrow."
Dean Burton W. Marvin, William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information: "Everyone who has been associated with Prof. Flint has deep respect and admiration for him. We are glad he received the recognition of having Flint Hall named for him while he still was living. Prof. Flint's name must be regarded as one of the greatest symbols of journalism education."
Oscar Stauffer, Kansas publisher: "It was with deep regret that we who are former students of Daddy Flint learned of his passing. His students as well as all other American journalists have lost a great teacher. He was deeply respected and his ideas will continue to be driving forces for good in the journalistic field long after we are gone. It will be a long time before the name of Daddy Flint is forgotten."
Mr. Stauffer visited Mr. Flint about two months ago, just to "talk over new times."
Pittsburg Senior Injured In Crash
Patterson was driving south when he tried to pass a truck. When he saw oncoming traffic he applied his brakes, which apparently grabbed, and the car spun completely around, rolling into a deep ditch, where it traveled 130 feet before hitting a telephone pole. Patterson was thrown 60 feet from the auto, which was demolished.
Charles H. J. Patterson Jr., 23, Pittsburg senior, was injured Friday night north of Arma when the car he was driving home for the weekend caromed into a ditch.

LEON N. FLINT
L. N. Flint Funeral Set For Tomorrow
The Rev. Dale Turner will officiate. Cremation will follow. The family has asked that no flowers be sent.
A number of friends and colleagues of Prof. Flint have started a Flint Scholarship Fund and have suggested that others who wish to express their sentiment do so by contributing to this fund through the University Endowment Association.
Services will be held at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow at the First Presbyterian Church for L. N. "Daddy" Flint, 79, chairman of the department of journalism from 1916 to 1941, who died at the University of Kansas Medical Center about 6:15 p.m.Friday.
An L. N. Flint Loan Scholarship was started by the Kansas Council of Teachers in 1941.
Dies After Hip Fracture
In a written statement, Prof. Elint had expressed a desire that such a fund be established to provide aid to a "deserving student in the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information."
Mr. Flint was taken to the hospital Friday afternoon after suffering a hip fracture after a fall in his home at Lawrence.
Just before his death, he was talking baseball with another elderly man with a leg fracture in the same room. Mr. Flint had said he hoped the Dodgers would win Saturday, and asked the nurse if they could have a radio in the room to listen to the game.
Prof. Flint began teaching as an instructor in journalism at the University in 1906 and became chairman of the newly created department of journalism in 1916. He held that post until his retirement in 1941 and continued to teach until 1946.
Called "Daddy" Flint by his students and colleagues, he trained students whose names are now by-words in American journalism. The late Raymond Clapper, news analyst, was one of them, along with Chet Shaw, managing editor of Newsweek; Ben Hibbs editor of
High Regard
Professional newspapermen had a high regard for Mr. Flint. The late Henry J. Haskell of the Kansas City Star wrote an editorial for the June 5, 1941 issue of the University Daily Kansan, at the time Mr. Flint was retired as chairman of the department of journalism. Mr. Haskell said:
the Saturday Evening Post; Oscar Stauffer, Kansas publisher, and Roy A. Roberts, general manager of the Kansas City Star.
"Leon Flint has taken a genuine interest in all those who came under him. He always has been ready with sympathy and advice. At the depth of the depression when jobs were few, the possibility that graduates might not be able to place themselves caused him real anxiety. His proverbial honesty is exemplified in one of his letters of recommendation. 'This man is no world beater,' he wrote, 'but few of us are.'"
Another moving tribute was paid to Mr. Flint by one of his former students, Charles G. Pearson, 1938 journalism graduate and faculty member in the William Allen White School from 1946 to 1950. Mr. Pearson, now city editor of the Topeka Daily Capital, wrote a column about Mr. Flint on Nov. 3, 1954. It he said in part:
"He has...been a commanding force for good in Kansas journalism for more than 40 years. Because he believes that a newspaper should have a conscience he wrote a book many years ago that still is the best commentary there is on press ethics. It has influenced thoughtful publishers and editors all over America.
"As a teacher he inspired the best work in his students that they could do. So strong is his influence that middleaged men today, when compelled by haste to turn in a bit
