MISSISSIPPI STILL RACES
 IN MIDWEST
Illinois River Levees Hold -160,OO0 Homeless
 in Six States
By Associated Press

Leveling off of the flood-choked Illinois River at two danger points cheered thousands of weary levee workers and residents of the river towns who had been compelled to surrender their homes to the ris- ing crests during the past week.
 The Mississippi river continued, however. to threaten further disast- CT in an already flood stricken sec- tion of Illinois and Missouri.
 The American Red Cross reported that in Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma, 2,756,000 acres of land were flooded. The homeless were estimated at 160,000.
 The critical area includes six states in the Midwest flood zone, along a 125-mile front of the Miss issippi, from St. Louis to Cape Cir adeau, Missouri, and along a l00- mile stretch of Illinois from below Georgia to the junction with the Missippi.
 The death toll stood at IT.

DAY ATTACK ON NDORTMUND ISC0NTINUING
Allie q Bonn bers Wing Across Channel Again
 to French Coast

LONDON, May 25.-A strong force of Allied warplanes headed eastward across the Channel this morning to resume by daylight the Allied offensive which reached its peak Sunday night in a record breaking RAF assault on Dort- mund, the German industrial cen- ter
 The course followed by the day light raiders indicated they would hit the French coast somewhere be- tween Dieppe and Boulogne.
 RAF fighters over northern France were on small scale intruder patrols during the night, but Bri- tish heavy bombers were given a rest after a 2,0O0 ton bomb attack on Dortmund.
 Berlin claimed in a broadcast that A British bombers were down. ed in that raid while the British announced 38 lost.
 About 25 German planes struck over the South Coast town of Bold in a mid afternoon raid yesterday which flattened workers houses and buried an undetermined num- Der beneath the ruins. A dozen per- sons are known to have been killed, and several others including child ren are unaccounted for.

 at Vital Axis Base

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, May 25.-Allies bludgeoned the Italian island of Sardinia with air power yesterday sending more than 300 American planes in an attack on nine impor- tant defense targets on that step ping stone to Italy.
 Bomb -pitted Pantelleria has also been under a most continuous at tack, raided Sunday night, again Monday in the day time and again last night.
 Twelve enemy craft have been downed during the past 24 hours and an unestimated number of others have been destroyed on the ground. This brings the number of destroyed Axis planes ill the past six days to at least 329 as the re- suit of operations.
 Waves of Flying Fortresses, Lightnings and WarhawkS roared over Sardinia where the Berlin ra- dio said yesterday German troops had landed. The planes urrleashed a merciless storm of blows and dealt the heaviest blows to this vi- tai Axis base Docks, shipping, air fields suffered heavily. One supply ship exploded and four small yes sels were sunk, seven others dam aged.
 The Americans lost only three planes during the Sardinian sweeps

SEARCH MADE AT SITkA FOR GROVER WYNN
We'll Known Juneau Aftor- ney Has Been Missing
 Since Tuesday

Grover c. Vim. City Magistrate and well known Juneau attorney, has been missing at Sitka since last Tuesday morning and no trace of him had been found late this af- ternoon.
 Winn flew to Sitka week ago yesterday on legal business, with the intention of returning here the next day
 He was reported last seen about l o'clock on the morning of May IS, at which time he was said to have been returning to his hotel.
 Since that time the Juneau man has disappeared from sight, and according to a wire from the De- putty Marshal at Sitka, no trace has been found of him after an inten- sive search by the police, the Coast Guard and the Territorial Guard
 It was at first believed that Re might have joined some friends on small boat and was returning with them to Juneau, but upon in- veStigation it was found that his personal belongings had been left in his hotel room, which discounted this theory.
 At the time of his disappearance, Vim was believed to have been wearing a large diamond ring of considerable worth, which may have been a motive for foul play. It is also thought that perhaps he may have slipped overboard if by chance he had been near the water front
 John Winn brother of the miss ing man, flew to Sitka this fore noon to assist the authorities in a further search.

too much gasoline to warrant such

The purpose behind all the re-

pressed by Gen. Schmidt in a brief
talk to his troops.

The 18TH Division yesterday staged
a demonstration of training for Wis

of the first anniversary of its acti-

as one of the better" divisions and
the pride and spirit of its officers
are reflected in the bearing and

fill most of the ranks.
Men From Every State.

former National Army. A year age
Yesterday, 1t became one of three
divisions re-established. It's $4,000

Kenneth Stevens, our guide for the
day, said 40 States are represented
in his own company. 1t Is an all
American division. If any is.
Gen. Schmidt said the division
would be ready for combat duty
overseas now but for the fact thai
thousands of its earlier trained mer
have been sent to North Africa anc
elsewhere as requirements. Many o.
them were filtered into the thinning
gaps of the famous 1st Infantry Di

High spot OF the day was the

The men making the assault were
armed with flame throwers. "stick"
