Salt Lake City Threatened By

Serious Floods.

EVACUATION ORDERED IN

OUTLYING DISTRICTS

Salt Lake City, May 2.

As water today lapped around hundreds of homes in the 50-block area of south-western Salt Lake City people in the district were ordered to evacuate to allow the further flooding of the area so that the more heavily populated sector of the city might be spared the ravages of the flood waters.

Utah's worst flood has already swamped thousands of acres, most- ly farmland but including at least $2,000,000 worth of homes and fac tories in the northern part of the State, particularly here and hear Ogden and Provo.

Warmer weather was forecast for the next two days, increasing the threat of a further run-off in the unexpectedly early melting of a record snow-pack in the Wasatch Mountains.

CRISIS

Govt's Latest Action

Washington, May 2. Lawyers acting for the Government today...... asked the

to Supreme Court reverse the decision of the Federal Lower Court that President Truman's seizure of the steel industry is Illegal.

This new action came after the chief of the United States Steel Union, Mr. Philip Murray, had ordered 050,000 strikers to return to their jobs "as soon as possible" in response to an up- peal made by Mr

Truman.

Mr Murray called off the two days' strike while steel company

lawyers were petitioning the Supreme Court to rule that the Fresident's seizure of the Indus. try was legal.

The

companies made their move early this morning, fore- stalling Government lawyers, who had then not made their appeal to the Supreme Court b reicct the ruling of a Federal Judge to this effect.

President Truman last lelegraphed his
