HATTIESBURG, Miss. — Heavy rains in central and
south Mississippi has sent rivers and streams spilling into
residential areas forcing an estimated 10,000 persons from
their homes. Shown here, small boat checks homes in the
Hattiesburg area where some 8,000 persons were forced
out. At least seven persons have died in Mississippi. (UPI)
Thousands flee
flash floods
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (UPI)
— Thousands of persons, routed
from their homes by flash
flooding that caused an estimat
ed SSO million in damage,
moved into emergency shelters
Monday at a National Guard
camp, schools, and churches.
“The water is about six feet
high in some of the houses, and
furniture and clothes are
floating all around,’’ said
Darrel Blount of Petal, Miss.,
who helped organize a relief
shelter in the community north
of Hattiesburg.
Civil Defense officials said
about 2,000 flood refugees from
the Hattiesburg area and other
parts of southern Mississippi
spent Monday night at Camp
Shelby, a summer training base
for national guardsmen, and
another 1,000 slept in shelters
around the city.
Refugee centers were also set
up in the Columbia and laurel
areas of Mississippi.
Seven drownings have been
attributed to the flooding, which
sent the Bowie and Leaf rivers
at Hattiesburg, the Pearl River
at Columbia and dozens of
creeks and streams in several
counties spilling into residential
areas and farm land.
A weekend storm dumped as
much as 15 inches of rain on
some localities during a 30-hour
period before moving into
Louisiana.
Gov. Bill Waller estimated
that as many as 10,000 persons
had to evacuate their homes
and move in with friends or
relatives or into the emergency
shelters.
Asking President Nixon to
declare 34 south and central
Mississippi counties a disas
ter area, Waller estimated
damage at S3O million to
private homes and businesses
and S2O million to public roads,
bridges and other facilities. The
figures do not include agricul
tural losses.
“Accurate assessments are
precluded in many areas
because flood waters have not
receded,” Waller said. “Exten
sive damage has been done to
crop and pasture lands with a
large number of cattle drow
ned.”
The governor activated Na
tional Guardsmen Sunday to
assist Civil Defense, Red Cross
and Salvation Army personnel
in the relief effort.
Although early rescue efforts
were hampered by continuing
rainfall, skies cleared across
much of the southern half of
the state Sunday afternoon and
Monday.
7th gorilla
born
at zoo
CINCINNATI (UPI) -
Whether it’s the vitamin
enriched meals, the special
“rice bread” snacks or just
plain love, there’s something
about the Cincinnati Zoo that
appeals to gorillas.
With the birth Monday of a 3-
pound, 11-ounce female gorilla,
the zoo set a world record for
the number of lowland gorillas
bom in captivity: seven.
And the record should soon
jump to eight because another
gorilla couple here is expecting
a baby within a month. The
zoo, the second oldest in the
nation, had shared the previous
record of six with the Basel,
Switzerland Zoo.
Prison integrated
REIDSVILLE, Ga. (UPI) -
Living quarters at the Georgia
State Prison were totally inte

with a 1968 federal court order.
Prison officials said the move
of more than 2,000 inmates pro

“We’ve had absolutely no
trouble whatsoever,” Regional
Deputy Corrections Comm
issioner Jack Caldwell said.

Mother killed
ATLANTA (UPI)-A 30-year
old Atlanta woman was stabbed
to death with a butcher knife
early Monday during a quarrel
with her mother about a pants

charged with murder in the
death of her daughter, Shirley

Freeze lifted
from food
By GENE CARLSON
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Cost of Living Council (CLC)
has ended 2’6 years of wage
and price regulation in the food
industry, but government and
industry spokesmen say the
action won’t affect supermarket
prices.
The council Monday removed
wage-price controls from 2.5
million workers and 330,000
firms in the food industry
nationwide.
The action allows food
wholesalers and retailers to
boost prices in order to
increase their profit margins.
Under the controls they could
raise prices only to pass along
increases in costs.
The controls would have been
lifted soon anyway. The CLC
and the remaining wage-price
control program —now cover
ing only steel and copper —go
out of business April 30, unless
Congress intervenes with last
minute legislation to control a
few inflation-prone industries.
Lifting the food controls will
have “almost no effect” on
consumer food prices, Clarence
G. Adamy, president of the
National Association of Food
Chains, told UPI.
A government economist
agreed. “I don’t think it will
produce any upward pressure
on retail prices,” said Dawson
Ahalt, an economic adviser to
Agriculture Secretary Earl. L.
Butz.
Ahalt said he does not expect

any unreasonable increase in
food industry profit margins.
“That industry’s a pretty
competitive thing. If someone
jacks up his prices, his
competitors will take advantage
of it and bring prices down,” he
said.
CLC Director John T. Dunlop
said competition within the
industry and voluntary compli
ance with the government’s
economic stabilization program
‘ ‘provide reasonable assurances
that decontrol will not result in
inordinate rises in food prices
in the months ahead at
tributable to food retailing and
wholesaling.
Even under the controls,
retail food prices have been
free to rise and fall with farm
costs. Retail food ceilings were
dropped after a brief trial last
year. Average retail food prices
went up sharply in January and
February this year, but prices
for a number of foods —
especially meats —have de
clined in recent weeks.
The CLC cited a willingness
of labor and management to
work for improved collective
bargaining as a reason for
taking off the food controls
before April 30.
“The most effective way the
government can contribute to
the moderation of food price
inflation is to continue to
pursue policies designed to
expand supplies of food availa
ble to the American people,”
Dunlop said.
