Nature's Havoc: Floods and Storms Take Enormous Toll. "As a raging Missouri River spreads over the middle west inundating cities and the nation's richest farm land, President Truman confers with the governors of the seven affected states and promises a renewed drive for flood control in the area. Spain also is hit with disastrous floods on the Guadalquivir River." Various shots people building levees; sandbags piled high. Various shots of flooded areas, towns. Stranded residents are evacuated (doesn't look too scary, more inconvenient). Nurses, mothers and children in a Red Cross shelter. Aerials of severe flooding in the Midwest, most of the land underwater. President HARRY TRUMAN looks out the window of an airplane, surveying the situation. Truman gets off a plane, is greeted. Gaggle of press photographers and reporters, those with cameras taking aim. Truman stands with governors (photo op). Various shots of flooding in Spain, the waters halfway up the height of telephone poles. Various shots of rescue workers helping at the scene of a train wreck caused by landslides. Off the coast of Korea, strong waves crash up onto the decks of a United States Navy ship (battleship or cruiser?, either the USS Wisconsin or the USS Manchester). Stormy weather, rough seas.
