WILKES BARRE, Pa, April "A

The new crest would be to 6 feet
below the crest that surged down.

Accompanied by hail, the down.
pour drenched the river basin from
the New York State headwaters

Barre, causing new fears among 30,-
900 d-bound refugees and
temporarily halting rehabilitation
along a 10O-mile stretch.
The storm was not confined to the
Susquehanna Valley. It swept
across the State, and streams in
western counties jumped as much
as 4 feet within an hour. Most Of
them, however, quickly receded after
the downpour ended.
At Wilkes-Barre, focal point of
the flood, the rain stopped two hours

Churchill Closer
To Premiership
In New Position
War Services New Chief
Still on Way Up at
Age Of IS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
All the armed might OF Great
Britain became Winston Churchill's
to command today.
Riding the crest Of that destiny
which many predict will carry him
to the position Of Prime Minister,
the plump, pugnacious foe OF Ger
many finds himself virtual dictator
Of the army, navy and air force
through the third British cabinet
shuttle in seven months OF war.
Last September 3, just seven hours
after war was declared, Prime Min
lister Neville Chamberlain yielded to
popular clamor and called Mr..
Churchill from his vocal but COM
paratively Intellectual place in the
House of Commons to become First
Lord of the Admiralty.
Now the new cabinet shake-up
makes Mr.. Churchill chairman Of
the Armed Services Committee, and
thus the boss of all war forces, in
addition to his Admiralty job.
Still on Way Up.
At IS Mr.. Churchill Still is "on
the way up" in a career that has
been meteoric throughout, and bril-
liantly SO in a short seven months.
Most Of the violent action in the
war thus far has been at sea-in
Mr.. Churchill's department-but it
is possible also to trace to his grow
ing influence a general hardening
of Britain's attitude toward neutrals
and foe alike.
Should the 71-year -old Chamber
lain retire, Britons almost certainly
would demand that he hand the
keys of No. 10 Downing Street to
Mr.. Churchill, the popular ,personi-
fication of belligerent John Bull.
There no longer is evident that air
Of amused tolerance which Mr..
Chamberlain displayed when he was
overheard in 1898 to ask Lady Astor:
What is Winston up to now?"
This swift shift in political for
tunes has demonstrated beyond
doubt Mr.. Churchill's tremendous
hold on the confidence of most of
his people.
