; Midwestern States
Are Hit by Floods as
Temperatures Rise
By the Associated Press

Flood waters covered thousands
of acres of lowlands and cut high
way travel in parts of three Mid
west States today.
Recent mild temperatures sent
a flow of snow water into many
streams in parts of Nebraska, Iowa
and Missouri. The possibility of
serious floods along the Missouri
River arose with a Weather Bu-
reau forecast of warmer weather
in the Northern plains.
An estimated $4,000 acres of
land were under water in South
east Nebraska as the Nemaha
River and several other small
streams overfoWed. The Missouri
River was f1ltering through ice
jams from Omaha south to point
below Atchison. Kans. Several
highways in Southern Nebraska
were inundated.
Iowa Streams Overflow.
Several small streams in Iowa
were out of their banks and spilled
water over highways and side
roads. Overf1ows from the Iowa
River measured 6 inches deep in
two places but traffic was not
halted. State Highway 81 was
blocked by water at Deep River,
Iowa.
Thousands Of acres in the
Princeton (Mo) area, were in
undated yesterday when the
Grand River overflowed its banks.
The Missouri spread over its
banks in parts of Montana near
it's headwaters and more serious
flooding threatened. At Kansas
City, Red Cross, Army and Fed
eral agencies officials met yester-
day and mapped plans for a posi-
BILE flood emergency.
Warmer Weather Predicted.
Moderately cold air spread over
the North Central States today,
but the Weather Bureau pre-
dicted warmer weather tomorrow.
The mercury dropped to a low OF
g below at Grand Forks and
hit subzero marks in other parts
of North Dakota and Northwest
Minnesota. Temperature drops OF
IS to Is degrees were reported in
Nebraska and Iowa during the
night.
The mercury was generally
above normal over the rest Of the
country. Rain fell in parts OF
Pennsylvania, New York and in
the New England States. There
also were light falls in Western
Texas and the Northwest Coast
of Washington and parts OF
Southern California.
At Redondo Beach, Calf, about
100 residents fled from their
homes yesterday as huge waves
smashed over the sea wall and
hurled 30-pound rocks through
windows and over buildings. More
than Is homes were reported
damaged and the eight-block sea
wall sank from one to four feet ir
some sections.
Small Craft Warnings Up.
Small craft warnings were hoist
ed at 4 am. today from Blocl
Island to the Virginia Capes, tn
New York Weather Bureau re
ported.
Snowbound operations con
tinued in North Dakota, but wer'
Expected to end today in Nebraska
and Wyoming.
The blizzards which struck thu
Western range lands this wintel
killed an estimated 100000 cattle
sheep and other animals, the
American Veterinary Medical AS
sociation said today. 1t added
however, that such after-effects
as disease, crippling, breeding fail
ures and losses of unborn young
will be reflected in livestock pro-
duction for many months.

ERR0L FLYNN, ANN SHERIDAN IN BILL
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Mans conquest of the silver mines in Nevada, prior to the estab- lishment of law and order, is vividly portrayed in Warner Bros newest epic of the Far West, Silver River" co-starring Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan, which opens tonight at the 20th Century Theatre.
 Silver River" spans the momen- tous period of 1865 to 1882, and takes the hero. Flynn, from the battle of Gettysburg to Washing ton, DC. down the Missouri river to St. Joseph and across the plains to the frontier mining town of Silver City, Nevada. Thomas Mitchell and Bruce Bennett head the supporting cast, which also in- cludes: Tom D'Andrea, Barton MacLane, Monte Blue. Art Baker and thousands of extras. Raoul Walsh, identified with Hollywood's most ambitious western epics, di- rected this important production.
 "Silver River marks the re- turn of Flynn to the devil-may- care type of character which has made him an international screen favorite. The film also marks a complete change for Miss Sheri- dan. She plays Southern beauty transplanted to the ruggest west, who is constantly at odds with the hero.
