WILKES BARRE. Pa. Apr. q
Floods still ragged in this area
today as the Susquehanna river
continued swollen from recent
heavy rain and snow falls. and
an estimated $4,000 people are
homeless.
Tearing away everything in its
path of destruction, the river
swept away the Wilkes Barre
Plymouth bridge this morning
and another bridge nearby was
threatened.
National Guard units of the
state were being rushed to cities
along the path of the flood in re-
Spouse to urgent pleas for assist
ance. Food shortages were pre-
valent and fear of disease spread
ing was expressed by health
authorities in the area.
It was believed the flood had
nearly reached its crest at noon
today. though no signs of reced-
ing had come at that time. All
business was suspended in sew
eral cities near Wilkes Barre
and no school reported sessions
being held. Churches of the dis
trict were being converted into
relief centerS.
