NEW ORLEANS, May 3.(P)-The successful termination of the fight to hold the levee line against the charge of the Mississippi river became a question of grim endurance in the Matches section. While the relief squadron ploughed through the muddy waters to remove residents from the inundated lowlands in the parishes of Northeastern Louisiana the dyke fight became desperate on the west bank near Vidalia. With the crew working through the night on the electrically lighted entertainments at Newelltor the waters stopped over the levee's top. Emergency measures were speed ed up to stop the flow. A crisis is ex- pected between Delta Point and Deer Park within the next two days.
