Thousands Mobilised To EDC Not Dead, Naguib Going

Deal With New Flood Threats

London, Feb. 12.

Britain, Holland and Belgium mobilised tens of thousands of troops and volunteers on Thursday to face grave threats of new floods.

As the three-nation alert began with the ominous motinting of the season's highest tide, violent blizzards continued to raise havoc in Northern and Central England, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Germany. The blizzards, worst in years, are in their fifth straight day.

Scores of villages in England, Sweden and Denmark are isolated by mountainous drifts and sea and land transportation is paralysed over wide areas.
