showed a 38.9 level late Sunday,
surprising the all-time record set
in the flood of 1903. The river was
reported to have burst levees at a
dozen points between st. Louis and
Cape Girardeau. Army authorities
sent Is amphibian jeeps into the
area to pick up marooned inhabi-
tants. The river crest was not ex-
pected until late Monday.
Relief officials set up tent city
at Marion, ILL.,, 30 miles inland, to
furnish shelter for residents of the
area. Others were received at Han
ma. Murphsboro and Cairo, III.
The crest of the Missouri, swollen
by the waters of the flooded Usage
and Gasconade, reached st. Charles,
Mo-, late Sunday. A record level OF
1855 feet was recorded as the waters
flooded st. Charles and st. Louis
counties.
In Kansas, flood threats dimin-
ished. Officials said the waters Of
the Arkansas had backed up over
thousands of acres Of loWlandS but
that little damage was done.
Fort Smith, Ark, and Muskogee,

Disappointed Over AM
nOunCemnet of Raises

Police and Fire Department pen
sioners, so it has been reported, will
not reap any benefits from salary
raises provided by the legislative pay
bill if this act is sanctioned by the
governor. A section OF the city char
ter's pension provision, repealed
several years ago, will prevent men
on the retired list from participate
ing in the salary revisionS. This rul-
ing saves the city SO, 100 per year in
payroll charges.
Thirteen retired members Of the
police department would have had
their pensions increased to OF 81 $50,
which is $3.50 for each.
There are II retired privates Of
the fire department, each of whose
pension would have been raised by
$3.50 if the old law still applied. On
the lists are five lieutenants, each
Of whom would have received a $3.50
boost in pension; seven captains
each of whom would be paid an ad-
ditional $3.50; fire marshal whose
pension would be boosted 5000; a
department clerk whose pension
would be raised 500 and a super
intendent of fire alarms who would
