Although his return to active con-

In addition to the March date he

Queen Elena of Italy, the Pope tenta-
lively scheduled the Inauguration of
the new pontiical academy for May

As planned, the pontiff would cele-

ZERO HOUR NEARS

MEMPHIS, Tenn. February O.
Waves pounded makeshift dikes and
stirred fresh apprehension along the
Mississippi today while the zero

aced. valley.
Days and nights of toll have raised
the protective levees to heights never
reached by the Mississippi and pre-
sumably above levels the river will hit
in its record rise this week.
But these added defenses largely
are sandbag walls and barriers of mud
and wood atop the permanent earthen
embankments and could not be ex-
pected to withstand long hammering
by wind-driven rollers.
"While no particular damage has
been reported thus far" said Lieut..
Col. Eugene Reybold. district engi-
neer, "a wave attack is always
menace"
Although the bulk Of the prepara-
tory work was completed today, the
engineers army of 10000 pick and
shovel workers remained on the job
showing the defenses still higher and
standing ready to close small leaks
before they could become major
breaches.
100000 Already Homeless.
While the army waited for a fair
measure of confidence for the crests
expected at Cairo about noon tomor-
row, a Red Cross stock-taking re-
vealed more than 100000 already
homeless in the valley and indicated
anew the importance of not adding
to the disaster already wrought.
The big relief agency reported u.s.
9ls homeless in 18 Arkansas counties,
37,146 in II counties in Tennessee.
60,196 in five Missouri counties and
4,417 In five Mississippi counties from

taries.
