Sherman Field Floods as River Races Onward
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)-Yellow floodwaters flowed 10 feet deep over the $3,500,000 Sherman Air Force base at Fort Leavenworth today as the crest of the Missouri river bore down on jittery Kansas City.
Thursday, April 24, 1952
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
River experts and engineers expected the full force of the Missouri's greatest surge to strike Kansas City's 47-foot levee system late today but insisted the city's 600,000 inhabitants were safe.
Floodwaters gushed through a gaping hole in the south levee, inundating the runways and lapping at the hangar windows. But the north dike, which engineers had believed would crumble first, held.
Upstream at Leavenworth, Kans,
where the mammoth air base was
under water, the scene was tragic.
The river battered through the dikes
last night and ended a futile nine-
day struggle by mud-covered soldiers
to save the air field.
All equipment including planes had been removed from the sloping air field, but an Air Force spokesman estimated flood damage at $1,000,000.
As the "Mighty Mo" surged southward, the even-mighter Mississippi river battered at soggy and weakened dikes at Sabula, Iowa, 50 miles upstream from Davenport.
Michigan Convicts Agree to Give Up
Jackson, Mich. —(U.P.)— Mutinous convicts at Southern Michigan prison today agreed to surrender but the whim of their psychopathic spokesman delayed the release of nine hostage guards for another 24 hours.
The settlement called for "no reprisals" against the 169 desperate criminals who have been holed up with their hostages in cell block 15, the disciplinary barracks.
Earl Ward, whose arrogance has increased hourly since the uprising started Sunday night, signed the surrender agreement after Gov. G. Mennen Williams agreed to his 11-point "reform" program.
The written agreement called for capitation as soon as the convicts could read about the settlement in the newspapers "in daylight." But Ward said orally there would be no formal surrender until Friday morning.

Makes $5,500 Research Grant
The Sabres also spotted four Communist MIG-15's, but chased them back across the Yalu river.
The National Science foundation has made a research grant to the University of Kansas in the amount of $5,500 to the chemistry department, Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy announced today.
Truce Meetings Reach Crisis On Prisoner Exchange Issue
Panmunjom, Korea—(U.P).—Truce negotiators apparently reached a critical point in prisoner exchange negotiations today.
American Sabre jets turned from uneventful MIG-hunting patrols to knock out one armor-clad and three vehicles deep in North Korea.
Allied and Communist staff officers met for an hour and 10 minutes. They recessed twice, the first time they have called more than a single recess in one day. A recess usually is called because one side wants to consider a new idea submitted by the other.
Eight Red tanks were destroyed by fighter bombers north of Pyong-yang, apex city of the old iron triangle.
The 5th air force announced the claims, but gave no further details.
In Korea fighting, Allied planes destroyed nine Communist tanks today. eight of them within striking positions on the west central front.
Other low-flying UN warplanes splashed napalm and dropped tons of bombs against North Korean targets, destroying or damaging 17 aircraft and 17 helicopters artillery pieces, 41 buildings and 35 troop bunkers. Some 40 Communist soldiers were believed killed in the attacks.
Earlier, Allied planes and ships sank 11 Communist Junks and damaged 12 others in an attempt to hamper movement of enemy supplies by sea.
It was not disclosed which side asked for the recesses. All developments were cloaked by a news blackout.
AAU Says Clyde Will Be Eligible For Olympics
The AAU has received no report that would jeopardize Clyde Lovellette's status as a member of the U.S. Olympic basketball team.
Dan Ferris, secretary of the Amateur Athletic union, made the statement Wednesday in reply to a charge by Russ Lynch, sports editor of the Milwaukee Journal.
Lynch said Lovellell played as a teammate of Dick Haag, who previously had played against an all-star team with at least one professional on it.
Lynch said in a column that the Jayhawk All-American "is a professional and will be lost to the Olympic team" because he violated the contamination rule by playing in the recent East-West Shrine game in Kansas City.
"However, this does not make a man a professional," the secretary added. "A man becomes a professional only when he takes money."
Ferris, when the case was described to him, said a player becomes ineligible for amateur competition when he plays against professionals or against amateurs who have competed against pros.
"This whole thing looks like a retaliation by the professional group out in Milwaukee who got sore when Lovellette didn't sign a contract with the Milwaukee professionals and took a job with the Phillips Oilers instead."
Ferris said the situation "looks like much ado about nothing. But if the case is brought to my attention I will refer it to the Big Seven conference and let them rule on it."
