OHIO VALLEY
FLOOD BOARD
PLAN BACKED
Measure for Authority With
Wider Powers Than IVA
Has Support
ACTUAL SUFFERING
REACHES ITS PEAK

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. (UP)
A vast Ohio Valley Authority to
combat floods was proposed here
as food waters of that section
slowly receded.
Representatives, from the Ohio
Valley states announced their sup
port of a bill to set up an agency
similar to the IVA but embracing
reforestation and land use fea-
lures.
The proposed authority would
be granted power to build dams,
reservoirs and canals, to create
forest reserves, and to develop
reforestation program.
President Roosevelt's flood re-
lief committee shifted emphasis
last night to the gigantic task of
helping 100000 persons re-es-
tablish their homes. It's report in
dictated that actual flood suffering
has reached its peak.
Although reassuring news from
army engineers south of Cairo,
H., that levees are holding firm
served to lessen tension, latest
weather forecasts indicated the
floods may be prolonged by new
rains starting Saturday.
While not expected to increase
flood stages dangerously, they will
have some effect and probably will
delay the final recession of flood
waters. ~
The Red Cros reported that con-
tributions from all over the nation
toward the $10,O00,000 relief
fund goal now total $4,339,000.
It's refugee lists increased by a

total estimate of about 100000
homeless.

Men Wage Winning Fight
in Work on Levees Along
the Mississippi
WATER RUNNING OVER
LEVEES IS HALTED

MEMPHIS, Jan. 30.-(UP).-
An earthquake today Jared weak
ened dikes Of the Tiptonville levee
sector which are holding back the
Mississippi flood waters but no
break has yet been discovered in
the levees. A thousand men were
rushed to the area to strengthen
barriers. Meanwhile, from Cairo,
ILL.,, to New Orleans, between g.
900 miles of the richest farm
lands in the world the Mississippi
flows on within restraining walls.
All points south Of Cairo re-
ported a steady rise today and
forecasts for further rain but the
weather bureau said conditions
are satisfactory. All tributaries
Of the Mississippi. including the
Ohio, are falling.
The United States Army report
ed last night that it was waging
"a winning fight" to hold the dixie
above Tiptonville, Tenn.-most
dangerous section in the food raw
aged Mississippi valley.
Water was chewing at the mud
levee above Tiptonville, which
protects three counties, and YES
terday the WPA sent out an sos
for available help to hold the
levee and protect lives and prop
erty across widespread area.
The Mississippi, boiling with It's
load of food water, was threaten
ing to break through, sweep into
Reelfoot lake and completely
change its channel.
The dixie that Is endangered
runs east and west just above Tip
tonville, and guards Reelfoot lake.
Should it burst, flood water would,
roar into the lake, spread across
all Of Lake county, Tenn, and
parts Of Dyer and Obion counties.
If that ever happens, the Missis-
sippi will cut itself a new channel
through Reelfoot lake, and-in q
vast real estate transaction Of its
own making-take thousands of
acres away from Tennessee and
give them to Arkansas.
Last night the weary army en-
gineers issued q communique on
the danger sector" summing up
the gallant battle they have waged
since dawn against the angry, yell
low river.
Before dawn today" It said,
"water actually was running over
the dyke. Fresh WPA labor was
thrown into the fight and gained
all day against tremendous odds.
The operation of sacking (rein-
forcing the levee with sandbags)
is most difficult due to water on
both sides. Eight hundred men
were working at Gates Landing.
During the night the force will be
increased to a peak of 1000 men.
The engineers reported that the
levees were in good shape at all
other places. They added that q
