BY the Associated Press

OMAHA. Nebr., April IT.
Levees strait-jacketing the high
Missouri River along Omaha and
Council Bluffs, Iowa, still held the
upper hand today but the situa-
ton was touch and go.
River forecasters continued to
predict crest sometime tonight"

in this metropolitan area of some
100000 persons.
Round-the clock and almost
inch-by inch vigilance was being
maintained along the % miles of
primary levees which so far have
kept the raging waters from the
two cities.
Sand boils developed but were
quickly choked off as the tre-
mendous pressure kept increasing.
The water crept above the orig
inal flood wall height in spots to
push against dashboard which has
been erected in recent days. But
pumps lifted the spilled water
back into the channel.
31.5-FoOt Crest Foreseen.
The river level today passed the
29.5-foot mark. Flood stage IS
19 feet. The previous record high,
in 1881, was 24.6 feet. The crest
is expected to measure 31.5 feet.
Meantime, the pattern of farm
land flooding, excavations and
levee raising work which the river
set earlier upstream was being
repeated along reaches southwark
almost to Kansas City.
Farmers all along the valley
have moved livestock, machinery
and household goods to higher
ground. At least a dozen towns
and cities in Nebraska, Iowa.
Kansas and Missouri - below
Omaha-were fighting the water
in some fashion or another. Some
as large as Elwood, KanS. (popu-
lation 1900 had been abandoned
almost completely to the relent-
lessly climbing water.
Swelled by Melting Shows.
The story was the same as it
has been for almost 10 days as

melting of heavy winter SHOWS
in the Dakotas. began sending its
biggest known load of water
downstream, hitting Bismarck,
N. OAK; Pierre, S. OAK, and
Sioux City, Iowa, in turn. Only
the locations and intensity are
changing.
The Missouri, the Mississippi,
the Milk in Montana, the Red
River of the north in Minnesota
and the Minnesota River all have
hit with Furnishing blows and have
q lot left to deal out.
At least two persons had died
in the floods.
Rescue Boat Upsets.
Last night, Mrs. Rosemary Mohr,
%, was being rowed to her home
in St. Paul's West Side by Ed
Thielen, a volunteer ferryman,
when the boat capsized. Neigh
bors heard Mr.. Thielen's cries and
pulled him out, but were unable
to find Mrs. Mohr. Her body was
recovered later from Z feet of
Mississippi River water.
On April 6, William j. Red Boy,
"a. of Poplar, Mont, drowned in
the Cannonball River, a tributary
of the Missouri, south of Bis
marck, N. Oak. Flood waters on
the tributary were forerunners on
the main stream flood.
Mrs. Mohr's death came at the
height of the flood at st. Paul.
The Mississippi crested there yes
terday at 222 feet. Early today
Army engineers said it appeared
to be falling slightly.

Government seizure, had tenta-
tive engagements with CIO Presi-
dent Philip Murray, head Of the
United Steelworkers, and Ben
jamin F. Fairless, president Of
United States Steel Corp.
Mr.. Sawyer presumably was lay
ing the ground work for Govern
ment-imposed wage increases to
the 650,000 workers of the basic
steel industry. How large the in
crease would be and when it
would take effect were unan-
SWered questions.
Plans to Impose Terms.
The Commerce Secretary met
separately yesterday with Mr..
Murray and Mr. Fairless. There
was no word as to the substance
of the conversation. Mr.. Sawyer
had said he would move i'm
mediately but not "precipitately"
to impose terms and working
conditions" on the industry as he
was instructed to do in President
Truman's seizure order.
Mr.. Murray had a date to tell
the unions side of the long wage
dispute at a National Press Club
luncheon. He has said nothing
since terming a deliberate and
malicious lie" a steel industry
charge that the President seized
the mills in q corrupt deal" that
discharges a political debt to
the CIO."
Chairman Nathan p. Feinsinger
OF the Wage Sterilization Board
also will discuss the steel dispute
on the radio tonight. He will ap-
pear as the guest on the Mutual
networks Reporters Roundup"
at 9:30 pm.
U. S. Stands Firm on So.
Mr.. Feinsinger's board recon-
mended a wage increase of 1712
cents an hour, fringe benefits
valued at 812 cents an hour, and
a union shop for the steelworkers.
Some of the benefits would not
take effect until next January l..
These proposals brought down
the wrath of the industry. Steel
producers said they could not meet
the recommendations unless the
Government raised prices substan-
TALLY. The Government replied
the producers would receive an
increase of about SO per ton due
them under the controls law and
no more. The industry still isl
talking in terms of a superior
price rise.
One thing was certain. If an
increase of over SO per ton is al
lowed, the Government will have
to look for new price Stabilizer.
Ellis Arnall. director of the Of
f1ce of Price Sterilization, made
that clear yesterday in talks be-
fore the National Press Club and
The Senate Labor Committee.

Advocates Franchise.

Nu'OS"SSo - uhSh1oCs
Addressing himself to the
Washington problem, Mr.. Bauman
advocated the franchise of vote
less citizens as one step toward
solution.
Il would say that here in the
District of Columbia the problem
lis complicated by the fact that
100000 citizens are voteless," he
commented. "They cannot give
expression to their desire to turn
the rascals. if any. out of office,
and it enables those in Office to
disregard the desires of the COM
Imunity.
Il do not for one minute mean
to suggest that enfranchising the
citizens of this community would
be the whole solution. 1t would at
least place the governing officials
of this city in the position where
they could be turned out of Office
by the will of the people when
their performance or lack of it
merits such treatment.

wise, simply tell her that she'll
have to take back the respon-

have a definite date set. You
could give her a little financial

In an emergency. Of course,
you'd take the child. Any grand

good job but doesn't want to be

The sleek liner of American
President Lines is a cruise ship

can be safely said that no cruise
ship ever had a more interesting
complement Of passengers. On the
other hand, no business-bound
passengers ever had a crossing
that was more like a cruise.

booked passage to enjoy the sun

deep in the fall, the pool has been

and foreheads are peeling.
Pleasant Memories

memories Of that day we put into

cisco. We edged up to the dock
while the Royal Hawaiian band
played sweet island music. Then
Hawaiians came on board and
kissed us, and put leis of orchids
and scented carnations around our
necks. We spent the day SWIM
ming at Waikiki. riding the surf
in an outrigger canoe and lunch
ing at the Royal Hawaiian at the
very edge of the sand.
The Hawaiians were at the dock
to see us off. Hula girls danced
and a thousand colored streamers
tied us impermanently to the
shore. Then the skipper cast off,

Cruising began in earnest the
next day for the nine-day run to

pingpong. Switchboard. deck golf
and deck tennis tournaments ap-
peared on the bulletin board.
There have been movies. card

Tokens of Visit
Ever since Hawaii. we have
been blooming with the fruits of
the islands. The chrysanthemumS
Iof the California autumn gave
way to sprays of orchids. stalks of
red ginger. red and green croton
leaves and scarlet anthurium. The
menus have blossomed with fried
Imahi-mahi, which Is fish, fresh
Hawaiian mackerel, Hawaiian
pineapple fritters with white wine
foam sauce.
An unwary man could find
himself eating five or six times a
day breakfast, midmorning
boullion and crackers. lunch. mid
afternoon tea and sandwiches,
dinner and midnight buffet. In
each stateroom, American Presi-
dent Lines left a notice that the
ship invited every one to take
advantage of the 24-hour free
room service.
Some nights. the stewards have
prepared special Italian dinners
for individual tables, complete
with red-checked table cloths and
red-checked napkins under the
chin. Meanwhile, few feet away,
the japanese were cooking
sukiyaki on charcoal braziers
right at the table. Across the
room the head waiter was busy
whipping up a flaming pan of
crepeS suzettes.
Lately, with the Japanese coast
almost in sight, there has been
an outbreak of umeboshi, which
are picked plums, takuwan,
picked turnips, fukuzin suki or
japanese relish and fried Japa-
nese relish and fried japanese
prawns with Shoyu sauce.
Home was never like this. I
guess that's why that fellow al
ways wanted to get that girl on a
slow boat to China.
