BY the Assoeiotsd Press

CINCINNATI, April 1s.-The
Ohio River was falling today after
seven days of continuous rise from
. 40.8 stage to 64.8 foot crest.
The weather Bureau predicted the
river would drop below the 52-foot
flood stage by Friday afternoon If
there were no affecting rains.
: Scattered showers are forecast
for the Ohio Valley today and to-

forecaster, said they could slow the
rivers rate of fall only slightly.
AS the crest moved down stream,
Army engineers reported a private
ievee Of the Martin Box Co., at
Aurora, Ind, was topped by water
forcing the plant to close. The
Indianapolis Chair also suspended

maintained 48 hours longer.
Army Engineers credited food
protection projects with preventing
millions of dollars in damage
throughout the area.

Democratic Senators OMahoney
Of Wyoming and Maybank of South

priations Committee moves within
a reasonable time"
Senator O'Mahoney added:
Republican leaders who a year
ago believed in a 70-group Air
Force are backtracking now because
they know expenditures they believe
to be necessary for 10 groups will
cause a national deficit. So they are
planning to save their faces because
of the tax reduction error by hold
