Damage in billions
Flood kills 22
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The death
toll in the city’s worst flood in 26
years rose to 22 late Wednesday and
state officials said damage to homes,
businesses and public buildings
would probably run into billions of
dollars.
The bodies of two unidentified
women were found by a rainswollen
creek near the Kansas City Royals
baseball stadium. Earlier in the day
cleanup crews found the body of
Rev. Harold A. Thomas, 42, of
Fairway, Kan., who police said was
swept into a creek during the height
of the flood Monday night.
More than a dozen persons are
still missing.
There was some good news for
the flood devastated areas. Presi
dent Carter signed disaster state
ments Wednesday afternoon, mak
ing flood victims eligible for im

Ifl'
Youths preparing to be industrial
managers run their own manufactur
ing facility on campus. They hire
employees, do marketing and pro
duction development, as well as run
an actual assembly line.
They have manufactured such
things as steel filing cabinets for the
school and bicycle racks.
Some students also get credit for
working off campus to fill course re
quirements.
“This is not a vocational education
college,” Swanson said.
“Our offerings include those
which help students understand the
context in which they will perform
their work. Liberal arts subjects in
cluding history, psychology and the
social sciences, for example.
‘We have rejected the narrow
view of vocationalism — skilling —
which provides only a set of job cre
dentials.”
The courses are grouped in six
areas: Industrial Arts, Technology
(computer to assembly line man
agement); Home Economics (family
life, hotel and restaurant manage
ment); Applied Art (industrial and
interior design); Helping Profes
sions (guidance and vocational re
habilitation); Education (teachers of
industrial arts and home economics
only).
A part of Stout’s success formula,
according to Swanson, is that new
majors are developed as needs of so
ciety change.
For example, the hotel and re
staurant management major was
added as a result of career oppor
tunities — jobs — in Wisconsin.
Tourism became a major industry.
Swanson’s practical experience,
in his student days? Building a new
porch for the then Chancellor’s
house.
He enjoys sitting on it these days.
“It’s a well-built porch, if I must
say so,” he said, eyes twinkling.
tumors. But there is concern radia
tion from those X-rays might slightly
increase the risk of developing
breast cancer later.
That poses a major problem that a
panel of 16 scientists, physicians and
public representatives is addressing
at a three-day meeting that started
yesterday at the National Institutes
of Health.
Do the benefits of the X-rays
called mammograms outweigh tbe
risks, and if so, for whom?
The panel is expected to reach a
consensus Friday after studying a
report to be presented today by a
committee sponsored by the Na
tional Cancer Institute and headed
by Dr. Oliver Beahrs of the Mayo
Clinic, Rochester, Minn.
At stake is the use of X-rays as a
cancer spotting tool at 27 cancer de
tection centers across the nation
sponsored by the cancer institute
and the American Cancer Society.
About 27,000 women, 35-years
old and older, are being examined
annually at the centers.
In addition, many private physi
cians are expected to follow the
panel’s recommendations.
Because of the concern over the
dangers of radiation from mammo
grams, the NCI last year issued
interim rules for the 27 centers, say
ing X-rays could be used routinely
to check women over 50 annually for
breast cancer.
temporary housing and grants.
Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton,
D-Mo., said the damage to urban
and rural areas “is likely to run into
the billions of dollars.” Public dam
age alone in the five-county
Missouri disaster area was estimated
by Gov. Joseph P. Teasdale at $30
million, and no one could estimate
the personal losses.
A spokesman for the American
Insurance Association said very few
businesses damaged by the waters
were covered by flood insurance.
“As far as we can determine,
there are only 1,358 flood insurance
policies in the metropolitan area,”
said Frank Lewis, a regional man
ager. “Most of those are for private
homes.”
The city’s last major flood in 1951
caused an estimated $1 billion in
damage.
It was feared some of the missing
might have been trapped in under
ground garages in the posh Country
Club Plaza area when Brush Creek,
normally just a lazy stream became a
rampaging torrent as the result of up
to 16 inches of rain during a 24 hour
period.
“As far as we can determine, our
store is a total loss,” said Dave Car
penter, manager of the Jack Henry
clothing store where damage to in
ventory and property was estimated
at $1 million. “We’re shooting for a
Nov. 1 opening date. It is going to
be a costly proposition.”
