of $4,000. ,
Trucks, boats and planes roared
out of the food area, carrying
away thousands, most of whom
had no knowledge of where they
were going or when they would
return.
The death list mounted mex
orably as disease took a steady
toll of lives and bodies were found
in flooded homes. ",
In the district where collapse
was, feared were four hotels, all
filled to capacity, some with six
and eight persons sharing rooms
and sleeping in shifts. None OF
the hotels had shown serious signs
of weakening and there was no
move to evacuate them.
Persons having official business
in the area were permitted 10
move about as usual.
The. Kaufman-Straus store, &C
cordinp to Harry X. Schachter,
president, became dangerously
weaker yesterday. 1t has been
surrounded by sandbags for two
DAYS, with water in the basement
since Monday. Part of the reason
for it's weakened condition, it was
believed, was excessive pumping
of water which drew away part
of the sandy foundation.
Since Louisville is built on
ground that in pre-glacial times
was the he'd Of a river and con-
tains 1850 artesian wells from
which distilleries. hotels and other
establishments draw their water
fantastic theories arose that the
Ohio river had moved back into
it's original bed, from which 1t had
been forced bv the glaciers. The
glacier filled the area with silt,
sand and gravel. -,
Authorities scoffed at these the
cries and said the water which
covered most of the 20 square
miles of inundated territory had
hacked up from overburdened
sewers and had no subterranean
origin. The remote possibility was
admitted that, if the swollen riv'
er's. current was swift enough, a
strip of land on the northwest
side where the Ohio takes a sharp
bend might never be above water
again. -.
The highlands section which es.
capped inundation, served a two.
fold purpose for relief and re.
Mobilization workers. There, refu-
gees were housed pending com,
nlete evacuation from the city and
there the dead were embalmed,
counted and buried.
An Identification bureau was set
up to list names Of the dead, the
unidentified were fingerprinter and
photographed before burial in the
hope that they might be named
later.

Louisville Needs

Asheville Man Says Food,
Water Plentiful for
Workers in Area

S. l.. Reese, plaster contractor
of Asheville, who drove a truck
load of supplies from there TO
Louisville with the Biltmore For
est police chief. was in the city
Yesterday afternoon and called at
The Times-News office to leave
word that when he was in LOUIS
willie the greatest need there was
for motors for boats. The flood
waters were too swift for row.
boats at that time and only motor
equipped boats could be used TO
stem the flood tide. Any number
of motors and cupboard motors
could be used, he declared.
During the hours he spent IN
Louisville, Mr.. Reese said ne spent
the time in helping transfer ref
ugees to the Highlands" that
higher part of that city where rel
ugees were taken.
Boats arrived at the rate of one
a minute for hours, he said from
the flooded area and the people
from them were transferred TO
ambulances, to be taken TO
churches and schools presumably
for temporary concentration SO
they could be moved to other
homes.
Boats were turned over and
placed in the water bottom up TO
serve as a temporary walkway to
transfer victims, many of them on
stretchers, to land.
Most of the people brought out
were old, both whites and negroes
he said. and of those on stretch
ers. about half had the sheet
drawn entirely over them. Il
reckon they were dead ne COM
mented. =,
The smaller boats could carry
only one victim on. q stretcher'
with attendant and pilot.
Mr.. Reese said that plenty OF
drinking water was being hauled
in at that time. He said ne saw
a pontoon bridge three-fourths OF
a mile long built of beer barrels IN
seven hours time.
The Asheville people were work
ing in two shifts, he said.
1.-THE Louisville people all treat
ed us nice" said Mr.. Reese. There
was plenty of food for all, he said.
But Mr.. Reese's main impress
sion regarding the situation there
was that motors and cupboard mo-
tors were urgently needed.

Meanwhile, recurrent threats
of violence were heard at Sagi-

Union officials said they would
hold the meeting.
In a conference at Lansing,
Governor Murphy rebuked a com

strike organization claiming to
represent a majority of workers
in General Motors plants.
"Your organization" he told
them, entered into the ricture
at an unfortunate time and was
responsible for the collapse of ne

He referred to a request by the
Alliance for collective barPain-

These rumblings, however, did
not affect the peaceful return to

Worms Often Attack Stored
Dried Fruit.

Fruits and vegetaS',s now hcing
preserved by drying MY bccorac it
tested with worms, VIZ ns u. Il p,
Metcalf, entomologist at Sia,c Corrrn.
To protect dried fruits and vege-
tables from infestation, he suggested
that they should be stored in tight
paper bags or other containers which
can be kept tightly closed.
The dried foods should be examined
from time to time to see whether
worms have appeared. If they get in
to the foods in spite of the precau-
tions taken, the foods should be heat
treated.
DR.. Metcalf says the fruits and
vegetables found to be infested should
be heated to a temperature of at least
1876 degrees fahrenheit for two hours
or longer.
The oven of an ordinary cook stove
makes as good a place as any to heat
the fruits or Vegetables, provided 1t
has a Thermometer to indicate the
temperature.
If the dried foods become reinfest-
ed after the heat treatment, repeat
the treatment DR.. Metcalf added.
While this method has not been
tried on all kinds of edrid fruits and
vegetables, he said, it has not injur-
ed the flavor or keeping qualities of
those on which it has been tried.
1t has also been pointed out that
dried fruits and vegetables should be
stored in dry place to protect them
from mould. IN 'f,~
