VICTIMS Of FLOOD
FACING STARVATION A
HUNDRED IN LoUIsI-
ANA MUST HAVE FOOD SOON.
MANY ISOLATED COMMUNE
TIES HAVE BEEN COMPLETE.
LY SURROUNDED BY WATER.

New Orleans, April 30.-Reports
from Harrisonburg, La, late today
that the 1000 residents of that town
in addition to 500 refugees from Cat
ahoula, Concordia and other flooded
parishes in that section face starva-
tion unless food supplies arrive
speedily have greatly intensified the
gravity of the flood situation and eve
ry agency is tonight trying to over
come the difficulty of transporting
supplies to the stricken people.
The most serious phase Of the food
situation is in northern Louisiana this
time, aside from the danger of con-
tinually rising waters, is that of
threatened food shortage. Many iso-
lated communities have been COM
pletely surrounded by water and resi-
dents forced to depend upon the small
stocks of food on hand when food wa
ters rushed through the break near
Ferriday. Countless numbers are iv-
ing on canned products that they are
securing from community grocers but,
reports from some sections indicate
there are other communities not so
fortunately placed and that many
people are very little ahead of starva-
tion. In many isolated farm houses,
where residents have remained in
their n1arooned or flooded homes,
there is very little, if anything, to
eat. ".'' - ,
With depleted stocks Of food re-
ported from all the refugee
camps in the Louisiana flooded area,
and real crisis existing at Harrison
burg, refugee workers today express
ed the belief that those who remained
in their flood swept homes may in the
long run be better off than those
concentrated in the refugee camps
unless some means Of reaching the
camp with provisions is found with
out delay.
"If provisions are not rushed to
Harrisonburg at once there will be
suffering there" N. r. Cotton, a
member of the Texas basin levee
board declared today. A steamboat
loaded with provisions was reported
to be en- route from New Orleans but
little is known of the time of its pro-
bable arrival or when these supplies
will reach Harrisonburg, where at
least 500 more refugees are expect
tomorrow. The increased gravity Of
the food shortage problem, the nee
essity of providing marooned persons
with food and some cases medical at
tention, coupled with the growing un-
easiness relative to the number of
communities which have been COM
pletely surrounded by water and be-
lieved in danger, the lack of eonmu-
aication with the outside world, tho
prevalence of rumors and distorted
reports of famine and pestilence, of
floods and disasters in other sections,
all tend to aggravate the pitiful
plight of the homeless refugees, many
of whom have lost everything but
their lives, as they huddled up in
small groups about refugee camps.
