PLANES ARE ASKED
TO SMASH ICE GORGE
Wall Of Water Rushing Down
Missouri Imperils North
Dakota. Section.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANDAN, N. OAK. March 23.-An
appeal to President Hoover for bombing
planes to smash a seyen-mile ice gorge
in the Missouri River was telegraphed
to Washington today by the City Com
mission and Chamber of Commerce.
Millions of dollars of damage will re-
suit, the telegram said, unless the gorge
at Schmidt and Huff, IA miles south
of here, is broken before heavy wall
of water coming downstream, reaches
this point.
A request to the 7th Corps Area
hea quarters for planes to break the
gorge brought the reply that Army Of
ficials considered such a move not
feasible.
o. w. Roberts, United States meteo-
rologist, said that unless the gorge at
Huff is broken. waters from the upper
river will food this city. Damage to
farm lands near Schmidt and Huff is
already estimated at $250,000.

LEvEE STARTS TO SLIP.

QUINCY, ILL.,, March % P).-New
trouble doomed in the f1ood-swept dis
tricts around Quincy tonight when the
main Mississippi River levee OF the
Gregory drainage district started to slip.
A hurry call was sent to Keokuk, Iowa,
bringing additional workers and boat
load of sandbags to carry on the ngnt
against the encroaching waters.
With the 10000 acres Of farm land
in the Indian Grave Drainage district
well covered with the overflow as re-
suit of two breaks in the levees. concern
was felt for the region on the other
side of this city. The bikes surrounding
the South Quincy Gardens were weak
ening and there was considerable seep-
age Of flood water.
Company @ of the Illinois National
Guard, composed Of residents OF Quincy.
kept constant vigil over the precious
dikes and Adjt. Gen. Carlos E. Black,
State commander, was expected here to-
morrow to make personal inspection
of the area and determine the need for
additional troops.
The stage of the Mississippi River
remained at 20 feet, although q rise
was predicted B. L. Waldron OF Han
nibal. Mo-, weather forecaster, said the
TItGT WOUiu 20 up w ACVe 0SV"SSAa
Keokuk. Iowa, and Louisiana, Mo-, dur
ing the next "a hours.
Drainage experts explained that ad-
ditional men we're needed to keep close
watch on the levees, which give way
fast and with little warning once thor
oughly soaked with water. The weight
of man walking over them or the
jar of a nearby passing train is often
enough to aid the water in bursting
through.
The drainage districts on the other
side of the river, In Missouri, were re-
ported in good condition, the weakest
spot in the North Fabius levee appar-
emily having given no more trouble.
The Fabius River, choked by the back
water of the Mississippi, into which 1t
opens a few miles south of Quincy is
within a few feet of the top of the levee.

There was nothing thorough about the

Messer last night. While one, palpably
nervous, pressed some sort of a weapon
against the victims back. his co-worker
made q perfunctory search that netted
only two of the $40 Messer had on him.
Then the robbers, both colored. made

Messer could not tell whether the rob-
