By Worse Floods as
Heavy Rains Continue
BY the Associofed Press

OKLAHOMA CITY, May 20
Overnight rains brought on new
flood problems for Oklahoma to-
day as rivers, creeks and streams
spread out over large areas.
Thousands were driven from
their homes and crop and prop
erty damage mounted steadily as
the State was gripped in its latest
siege of elements.
A flash flood emerging from the
waters of Cottonwood Creek dealt
severe blow to Guthrie. oity
of $4,000 just 80 miles north of
Oklahoma City.
Red Cross workers counted more
than 1000 homeless after the
swollen creek sent a wall of water
surging through the center of
the town.
Several Persons Missing.
Several persons were missing as
houses fioated away. Water was
y feet deep in one block where
damage was heaviest. City Off
Tcials reported 80 blocks in Guthrie
under water.
The Cimarron. North Canadian
and Washita Rivers and their
backwaters caused the major
flooding.
The Arkansas was expected to
overflow at several points in East
ern Oklahoma today after reach
ing 1872 feet at Tulsa last night.
River observers said they ex-
pected serious trouble from the
Arkansas.
New T0rnadoes Feared.
The threat OF tornadoes contin-
ued as the State remained a storm
center. The Weather Bureau re-
ported serious thunderstorms over
most of the State late last night
and early this morning.
Tornadoes put a scare into sew
eral communities near Bartles-
vile in Northeast Oklahoma last
night but fortunately only one OF
the twisters came to earth.
This one struck at Dewey. 2
miles north of Bartlesville, de-
stroying a barn and ripping the
