CUTTER SO2 (by Tropical Radio,
POYDRAS, La, April 29.-More
than 800 persons remained in St.
Bernard parish today, determined to
brave flood waters which will be
turned loose today by blasting the
Mississippi River levee fourteen
miles south of New Orleans.
Those remaining in the parish
told military authorities they were
not afraid of the foods and would
stay with their homes rather than
join the parade to New Orleans.
Boats were held in readiness TO
rescue the obdurate in case the wa
ters rise too high for safety in the
upper stories of their homes.
Plant Faces Demolition
At the spot where the waters are
TO be released is the plant of the
Orange Grove Refining Company,
one Of the largest producers Of in
dustrial alcohol in the South. Yes
terday it was belching smoke. To-
day the smoke stack was clear. The
plant will undoubtedly be torn to
bits when the flood waters are re-
leased.
All night long trucks have been
bringing people and household
goods from the doomed area. Many
trappers, who at first were openly
defiant of the order to evacuate
their homes, became panic stricken
at the last minute as State officials,
backed by the guns of guardsmen,
went quietly on with their prepara-
tions to blast the levees.
Trappers who a sshort ago were
making threats to fight it out"
with the troops were among the
starting an eleventh hour
stampede for places of safety.
New Flood Chapter
Never before in food history has
such a community as ST. Bernard
parish been sacrificed to save a city
like New Orleans. But city. State
and Federal authorities agreed that
such a drastic step was absolutely
to save the metropolis of
the South.
Full payment of damages has
been guaranteed by the city and
State, but that does not relieve the
