industry and transportation.
Damage inflicted by flood waters from the heaviest rain in
Chicago's history are estimated at 10 million dollars in the city
proper, with total damage in the metropolitan area expected to bt

Fourteen deaths were attributed to the storm in the Chicago
area and five others in Wisconsin. Two of the deaths were caused
by heart attacks, and the rest by automobile accidents on flooded
streets and highways.

British Minister of State Selwyn Lloyd called upon Russia for
a statement telling just how far the Kremlin will go to meet
Western conditions for arms reductions and atomic control.
Lloyd specifically asked Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei
Vishinsky to state in plain terms whether Russia is now ready to
accept an ironclad international inspection system which would b
in operation before an arms reduction or atomic ban was put into
effect.
