Nine of the victims found so far were here and two were from suburban communities in the state. Four of the victims were in Leawood, Kan.

The police said that they were certain more bodies would be found when they were able to get to the dozens of cars that were swept away by the rushing waters of Brush Creek, the Blue River and other rivers, creeks and drainage ditches.

A number of highways and several bridges across Brush Creek were closed because of the flooding. Traffic was badly snarled in much of the city.

Kansas City schools and many private schools and colleges were closed because of the disruption to traffic, loss of power or other flood‐related problems.

Gov. Joseph P. Teasdale toured the flood‐stricken areas in this state late today and Gov. Robert F. Bennett of Kansas also visited some sections of his state near the Missouri line, which appeared to be less severely damaged.

The Kansas City Power and Light Company reported that more than 25,000 customers had been left without electricity because of the flooding, lightning and high winds. Service was reported restored! to most of them by this evening.

10,000 Phone Knocked Out

Southwestern Bell Telephone Company officials said that the storm had knocked out 10,000 telephones on the Missouri side of the state line and 6,000 on the Kansas side. A spokesman said all service should be restored by tomorrow.
