bullets. One penetrated his heart.
Police quoted Christos Vlachos.

Motor launches bucked the swirl
ING flood waters of the Don river
tonight. carrying food to the York
shire mining towns of Bentley and
Arksey where 1000 persons were
trapped in h e second floors o.
their cottages.
The plight of these villagers
added new tasks to LOCO troops
and German prisoners of war who
battled rising waters in the tens'
70 miles North of London, as
widespread spring floods mounted
the banks of England's stored
streams.
About 500 persons were taken
out of the toll bar section Of
Bentley today while motor
launches with enough power o
overcome the strong flood cur
rents, ferried bread and milk to
inhabitants leaning through upper
story windows. Army amphlbious
vehicles assisted in the rescue
work.
Officials said they believed
flood waters were beginning to
recede at Bentley, but tons OF
water sluicing through a breach
in the Don dykes threatened to
isolate still more persons in
Arksey by midnight.
Although there have been no
casualties thus far, police and
hundreds of civilian volunteers
prepared for possible emergency
az Arksey tonight or tomorrow.
Meanwhile, water rose nine
inches a II hour along a defense
line holding back the Wissey
river, and flood fighters feverish-
ly stacked sandbags on a dyke
| already we feet high.
Farm families, driving livestock
ahead, continued to evacuate the
threatened area and the crisis
was expected early tomorrow.
The fens are fertile lowlands in
