Hitler Aide Dies at 89 OBERSASBACH, Germany AP Former Chancellor Franz von Papen, who helped pave Hitler's way to power and later won at the Nuernberg war crimes trials, died today, his son reported. He was 89 years old. Von early Papen became seriously ill in April. His son said the illness was aggravaled by his advanced age.
He died at his secluded home in this Baden village. Von Papen, regarded as something of a lightweight in the German politics of the early 1930s, was as responsible as any one man for bringing Adolf Hitler to power, though that probably was not what he meant to do. In a chaptic political situation in June 1932, President Paul von Hindenburg appointed Von Papen chancellor. But he resigned that fall after elections showed Hitler's Nazi had made great gains, though still not enough for a Reichstag majority. The Nazis were nearly bankrupt then, and Von Papen arranged a meeting of Hitler and Baron Kurt von' Schroeder, a Cologne banker, apparently with the idea of putting Hitler and the Nazis in his debt.
He persuaded Schroeder and his colleagues that the natlon's best hope was a coalition government of Nazis and nationalist rightists, In a short time a fund of four million marks was raised for Hitler's party.

River Rolls Near Crest By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Mississippi River rolled toward a crest today at St. Louis, but Army engineers indicated the peak would be only slightly above flood stage and only minor lowland flooding was expected. A similar appraisal was given for Saturday when waters of the Missouri River, which empties into the Mississippi just above St.
Louis, were expected to create a second crest there. Melting snows in the northern Midwest and Plains pushed the Mississippi and Missouri tributaries out of their banks in Iowa, the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin last month and caused milloins of dollars in damage. On the Illinois side of the Mississippi, dikes and the natural terrain were high enough to prevent major flooding. President Nixon declared Wisconsin a major disaster area Thursday and allocated $500,000 in federal aid to restore areas ravaged by the Mississippt. In Minot, N.D., about 2,000 residents returned to homes they evacuated when waters of the Souris River spilled over the town last month, However, another 10,000 or more persons still were waiting for the Souris to recede.
Damage from flooding in the Minot area has been estimated by Army engineers at more than $10 million.

UNTIL DOCTORS made the abrupt decision to use the new surgical technique on Mrs. Sanders, people like her could not hope to have a cornea transplant because of the poor condition of the inner eye lining. So doctors simply cleaned out the entire lining of the eye and implanted the plastic cornea. Then they sewed the eyelids over the implant, leaving a peephole for the cornea. Physicians believe this is the first known case in which the eyelid itself has been used to graft a cornea.
For persons who might think she will finally have normal vision again, Mrs. Sanders explains, "Corneas do not give normal vision. Peripheral vision is not possible.
