Neb.,, and San Antonio, Texas tc
have complete evacuation plans in
readiness by 6 p. m., January 29,
Secretary of War Wioodring or
dered them to prepare to evacuate
a minimum of 500,u00 persons along
the 2,000 miles of levees on both
sides of the river,
¢ Wholesale Exodus
Scoreg of railroad flatcars were
mobilized to carry out the whole
sale exodus.
The secretary of war also auth
orized the use of wnor only regular
army troops, but also members of
the Civilian Conservation Corps,
the National guards and the Red
Cross.
Ag the far south prepared to flee,
another day of watery terror grip
ped the 1,000-mile graveyard of al
most buried towns, villages and
farmlands in the once pleasant
Ohio river valley to the north.
The known death toll jn the ele
ven flood-stricken states of the
mid-west and south mounted to 137
and Louisville’s health commission
er estimated at least 200 had died
of diseaseg attributed directly to
the inundation of that city,
Suppliés Rationed
Rationing of water supplies and
impaired sanitary conditiong caus
ed fear of pestilence in Cincinnati,
Louisville, Huntington, W. Va,
Evansville, Ind., Portsmouth, O, and
several other cities,
Kstimates of ~property damage
were boosted past the $300,000,000
mark, and the army of homeless
swelled to 750,000, It was as
though a city the size of Boston
had been evacuated.
Louisville fought flood, fire and
disease with three-fourths of the
city under water, Three separate
fires added about $750,000 to the
damage already placed in excess of
$100,000,000 in unofficial estimates
Twenty bodies were found float
ing in the streets. The hospitals
were filled with patients, indirct
vietims of the flood, and Mayor
Neville Miller said “there is the
constant threat of disease and
epidemic.”
Gain Respite
Louisville’s exhaustéd police force
gained a respite today when Mayor
Miller announced the conflict over
jurisdiction between local and fed
eral authorities had been settled
He said 200 federal troops who ar
rived last night would share police
duties with patrolmen sent te¢
Louisville by airplane and special
train from other cities in responst¢
to hig hurried radio appeal last
night. .
Cincinnati watched hopefully as=
the river inched from the high
stages which had halted its power
and water plants; spread fire, pri
vation and the threat of disease.
The water supply was rationed and
citizeng carried .it from ‘water
stations” in pails, jars and bottles
Some drinking water came from
other cities by tank ecar. «
Mass movements of refugees from
flood stricken .cities in Indiana
gained impetus ag Evansville and
other cities prepared for the crest
of the yellow waters, expeeted with
in 48 hours. More than 75,000 had
been driven from their homes and
cold, hunwer and sickness added to
the suffering of those who stuck
to their posts.
Exceeds 1927 Disaster
i Already the estimates of home- |
‘less and property damage exceed
led the 1927 Mississippj river dis
faster and lent creaence to the
| statement of Dr. Cary Grayson, Red
;Cross chairman, who described the
i present flood as “the greatest em-!
| ergency the nation and the Red;
}(‘ross have faced since the Worldj
War.”
| As the flood waters tn the Ohio
' valley paused ‘in their rise to new
‘record heights, an army of 2,000
‘men directed by United States en- |
tgineers worked feverishly againsi|
time along the 300-mile Mississippi
riverrreat. o 3 d- 3 I
In a week or ten dayg the nood,
crest from the Ohio emptying inté
the Father of Waters near Oairo,i
111, was expected to bring the'
southern states a “super flood.”
‘With 2,000,000 acres alreéady sub
merged and 125,000 nomeiess in the
area, the engineers directed the
work of strengthening the gigantic:
system of levees in the hope they!
would repulse the assauls, ’
Gap is Widened
New dynamite blusts widened the"
gap in the Birds Point-New Mad-{
rid floodway below Cairo through!
which the turbulent flood waters!
poured into a man-created basin!
covering more thas 200 square
miles. {
Residents of Tiptonville, Tenn.,
and New Madrid, Mo., two riverside
towns near the floodway, were
warned by George Mver Red Cross
national disaster director, to flee
lest ‘they drown like rats in a
trap.” The levees are sare to break,
he gaid.
Other cities opened their doors
to exiles from the flooded areas.
Columbus, Ohio, prepared to shel
ter 5,000 and Charlestown, Mo.
doubled its 3,800 pepuiation over
night with 2,500 hungry, cold and
+homeless refugees arriving from
southeastérn Missouri. Prepara
tions were made at Memphis, Tenn.,
to accommodate 50,0 as the exo
«lus from the surrownding country
proceeded apace.
Food Conservation
. Mayor H. R, Debassey of Park
ersburg, W. Va., apoeared for con
servation of food in the face of
shortening supplies.
Portsmouth, Ohio, cheered its
mayor's statment that “weéve got
it whipped” while the Ohio slowed
‘toward a -standstill and the citi
zenry turned to restoration of nec
eéssary services.
Memphiy was assured by its of -
ficials that it had little to fear
from the record flood due next
week. They predicvec only the
outlying sections would be inun
dated. .
In Washington President Roose
velt gave personal attention to co
‘ordinating the government's suc
coring of the flood stricken cities.
He said the emergency in'the Ohic
river val’ley would mnot be endea
uptil Thursday night., &
The house of representatives ap
proved in lightning fashion the
$790,000,000 relief fund bill and sent
it to the senate, The president
promised all of it would be spent to
aid flood victims if neecessary.

National Red Cross
(Cantinued From Page One)
Worlg War, the ugly head of "dis
ease and pestilence is beginning to
make tis appearance. Epidemics
invariably follow in the wake of
floods unless checked at the start
and once they gain foothold, the
fight is almost hopeless.
Suffering has been intense and
will continue so for days and pos
sibly weeks. Homeless men, women
and children must be given shel
ter, food, warm clothing. Sick and
injured must be provided medicine,
nurses, doctors, etc. All that takes
money, gnd a lot of it.
