large sugar refinery operated in the
danger zone.
Hamburg, La, May 16.-The break
in the protection levee on the Bayou
De CLASSES, near here, which occurred
early today, has widened to 300 feet
and backwater from the Bayou and
the Red river is sweeping southwark
through the break into louisiana s
sugar cane belt in Averilles, Pointc
Coupee, st. Landry, st. Martin and
Iberville parishes, where it is feared
untold damage will result.
Water pouring through the break
in the levee, which was built to pre-
vent backwater from the Red river
flooding the Atchafalaya river basin,
tonight was spreading through the
southern portion of Averilles parish,
reaching points which have so far
been immune from the disastrous
Hoods in the northern portion of the
parish and are pushing on towards
the southern parishes, intensifying
flood conditions in the Atchafalaya
basin, much of which was already
under water from the Ferriday
crevasse.
At least eight towns may be inun-
dated as result of the break here,
the towns of Melville, Pauche Vile,
Big Cane, Rosa, Palmetto, Odens-
burg, Elba and Krotz Springs being
in the path of the escaping waters.
Stages above all previous high rec
ords for the Atchafalaya river be
tween Simmesport and Melville were
predicted by. the weather bureau to-
day, which caused intensive activity
on the part Of. the government and
levee officials to be renewed. In
Pointe Coupee parish along the river
more than 1,700 men began the task
of raising the levees one foot for q
stretch of II miles.
Great damage is expected to result
