Flood Waters Drop
In Kansas, Missouri
By the Associoisd Press

KANSAS CITY, July 2.-Flood-
ling rivers receded in Kansas and
sections of Missouri today, point
ling to the end of one of the most
disastrous overf1owers in the two
States history.
Flood waters still stood in some
towns and on thousands OF acres
of land, but unless heavy rains
start again the worst apparently
was over.
Towns along the Missouri River
i'm the eastern half of Missouri
still were in for some trouble
however. The river was not ex-
pected to crest in some eastern
towns until orroW and
Wednesday.
The surging river punched a
hole In levee protecting 1000
acres about 10 miles north OF
st. Charles and water swept over
the land. About 200 farm fami-
lies in the st. Charles area were
forced to flee. Another levee was
topped by flood water south OF
st. Charles, drowning out another
5000 acres.
Weakened dikeS also plagued
Kansas. A 50-foot breakthrougll
in a dixie on the big Arkansas
River about Is miles northwest
of Wichita sent muddy waters
over thousands of acres of ripe
wheat yesterday.
Volunteers and National Guards

the night.
