LOWLA|W AREAS IN
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
COVERED BY FLOOD
Attempts to Dynamite Levees,
Buffalo Cnats, Com
plicate Situation

Memphis. Tenn, April 8. - R -
Clearing skies Saturday led lowland-
erS in flooded sections Of Mississippi,
Arkansas and Tennessee to hope the
swollen waters had done their worst
but levee dynamiting and the appear
ance Of buffalo gnats complicated
matters.
The refugee problem threatened to
assume major proportions should the
water continue its stand over the
thousands Of acres Of low country 1t
has invaded. Estimates Of the num-
Der made temporarily homeless placed
the figure at $500. Most Of these,
however, are Negro farmers used to
their homes in the spring
and living with friends or relatives
until floods recede.
Levees at q number Of places. par
ticularly near Webb and Sumner,
Miss. have showed signs Of weakening
under the pressure Of the water. but
300 Negro convicts from Parchman
prison farm have been sent into the
district to bolster them. So far no
major breaks have occurred.
A number Of attempts have been
made to dynamite levees in both
Mississippi and Arkansas but guards
that patrol the levees In times Of high
water have frustrated most Of these.
Levee guards at several places in
Mississippi have exchanged shots with
men who apparently were trying to
destroy levees to protect their own
land.
The buffalo gnats that follow the
water. have become an annoying prob
lem, especially at Sumner. smudges
are kept burning.

stitute for the Democratic farm pro-
gram, stripping away the proposed
broad powers for Secretary Wallace
but including the administration

erable opposition. The Republicans,

fore the measure was taken up Fri

In place Of the Democratic provi-
sions for sweeping authority for Sec
retary Wallace to raise farm prices.
the Republican committee proposed
the bill OF Senator Carey (Rep. WyoJ
for leasing or renting q maximum
Of $4,000, 900 acres, this to be financed
by q two per cent tax on the sale
price Of the commodities.
The leasing would be applied to
cotton and grains. This Is In sub
stance the program advocated In the
closing days Of the last congress By
Former Secretary Hyde.
The Republican committee bill In
corporates the Smith cotton option
pool plan which Is in the admits
tration bill. and also carries the
Roosevelt farm mortgage plan.
Eliminated would be the so-called
Simpson cost Of production plan,
written into the administration bill
by the senate agricultural commit
tee.
Republicans expected to line up IL
most solidly behind the substitute
proposal, but Democratic leaders are
confident their top-heavy majority
