sonnel and supplies were being concen-
trated in that section, especially at
New Orleans.
Every effort is being expended to
anticipate these emergencies and to be
prepared fully to cope with them II
ard when the need arises" said Mr..
Baker.
AS flood waters continued to inun-
date additional towns and farms in
southern Arkansas and the Mississippi
delta, Red Cross agencies were bending
every energy to relieve situations there
described in official reports as des-
perate Rising waters from the Ar
kansas reached more towns and VIII
lagos today and increased the flood
depths at Arkansas City and other
places where large numbers of refu-
gees were gathered. Hundreds who
had sought safety in McGehee aban-
doned that now inundated town and
marched to Monticello, where more
than 5000 homeless already were being
cared for.
Although the problem of providing
food and shelter for the refugees is q
tremendous one, the Red Cross, ma
tional guard and other relief agencies
reported no one was going hungry or
suffering from want of clothing or
shelter
Across the Mississippi in the delta
section the flood waters pouring
through the Stops landing break above
Greenville were gradually pushing out
the huge lake into lower Yazoo valley,
flooding half a dozen more towns,
making total of more than a score
now partially under water
The refugee situation in this section
presented most pressing problem.
Reports to the Red Cross said that at
Leland, where there were 5000 people,
help was needed as the town was over
run. Preparations were made to trans
fer several thousands to the concen-
tration camp at Cleveland. Reports
here showed 2S,5OO refugees concen-
trated in six towns in the delta, with
5000 at Greenville, 1000 at Cleveland,
5000 at Leland, 1000 at Lobdell, $500
at Deeson and 5000 at Beulah.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 81 [P.-From
the lowlands of southeastern Louisiana
to the highlands of central Arkansas
and Tennessee, new caravans today
joined the armies of refugees on the
march in the face Of floods or threats
of floods
Hundreds moved out of ST. Bernard
and Plaquemine parishes, carrying
household and other possessions and
abandoning homes and farms to be
deliberately flooded in an effort to
save New Orleans from the wall of
water bearing down upon it from the
upper Mississippi valley
Grim forces of nature were compel
ling elements in the movements of
those in northern Louisiana, the Mis-
sissippi delta and southeastern Arkan-
sas. Many had time to save some pos
session; others trudged along empty
handed, thankful to escape with their
lives.
Army engineers still were doubtful
whether the sacrifices to be made by
the people of southeastern Louisiana
with the breaking of the levee at Poy-
dras at noon Friday and the loosening
of vast volumes of flood waters would
save the Srescent City. The Red Cross
