very slowly, in the flood zone. Fur
thermore, it gave hope for clearer
weather during the next two days.
The bureaus special flood bulletin
said:
Fair weather prevailed during Mon
day throughout the lower Mississippi

Kopp Of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, mem
bers of the congressional committee
on flood control of which Reid is chair
man, to accompany him to the stricken

That Representative Reid himself
and two members of the flood control

within 10 days was urged in a tele-
gram yesterday from United States
Senator Joseph f.. Ransde1l of Louis
lana, Representatives James O'Connor
of Louisiana and William Collier of
Mississippi, and Riley J. Wilson, rank
ing Democratic member of the flood
control committee of the House Of Rep
resentatives.
In his telegram last night to Senator
RansdeH, Representative Reid said:
"As chairman of the committee of
floor control of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and personally, I desire to
do everything possible to help. The
violence of the present flood may well
serve to challenge the attention of the
people SO that they may realize that
flood control is not a local matter and
thereby lead to congressional action
providing for a comprehensive plan of
food control"
