New Floods Threaten
Louisiana Coast as
5000 Flee Homes
BY the ASSoeiafed Press

Louisiana's coastal lowlands
faced a new flood crisis from the
Gulf of Mexico today as rising
streams to the north forced
$4,000 persons from their homes
In a multi-million-dollar flood.
While swollen bayouS and rivers
poured tons of water toward the
Gulf, the coastal residents braced
against the possibility of inunda-
ton from wind-whipped tides.
Observers believed the crisis
would come today. If tides re-
main moderate another "a hours
they think there is chance that
streams and backwater areas can
handle tidewater.
The threat centers around
Crowley, in southwest Louisiana.
Overlooking bayous have forced
excavations at Merentau, Evan
geline, Midland and Esterwood
and sent the flood tapping into
the outskirts of Crowley.
High Winds Predicted.
The weather bureau predicted
winds from the South, putting
the area in extreme danger if
tides are high.
The stricken area was a broad
belt arching from the southwest
corner of the State, near the
Texas border, through central
Louisiana to the east central
boundary with Mississippi. The
belt is more than 200 miles long
and 100 miles wide at points.
Major rivers in Louisiana were
not at critical stages, but almost
a foot of rain over the week end
sent already swollen smaller
streams out of their banks and
blanketed almost a foot of water
on this States many low areas.
There was nowhere for it to go.
Then water began draining
from the hilly areas into the sub
merged lowlands-the rich cot
ton and rice producing areas.
Damage S1OO Million.
Damage to the States rich cot
ton and rice crops was estimated
at 500 million. The floods also
caused millions of dollars damage
to highways, private property
and livestock.
Storms which swept over
Southern areas over the week end
moved northeastward and show
ers and thundershowerS we're re-
ported early today along the East
Coast from Virginia northward
to Philadelphia.
Heaviest rainfalls in the last

Stocks Gain for Fourth Week,
ButMomentumBegins toWone

| the sharp fall that started late
in May when it appeared that
a truce agreement was immi-
nent in Korea.
The historic pattern for
market behavior calls for a rise
in July and August. Certainly
the market has been going up so
far in July. Volume, however,
has been low, so low, in fact, that
many believe the rally lacks
enough backing to carry through.
What the bulls in Wall Street
would like to see is a string of
days with vigorous trading and
briskly advancing prices. That
would indicate the general pub
lie also has faith in the summer
rise tradition.
What has inhibited that de-
velopment, it was felt, were UNI
certaintieS surrounding Ko-
rean truce and the fate Of the
exceSS-proflts tax extension.
Both now seemed just about re-
moved as excuses for market &C
ton.
OF course, the real test of
market direction is likely to come
when the volume of business
builds up above average. Last
week the daily average of bust
ness at $4,000 shares was the
lowest in a little more than four
years. The daily average this
week was only 914,000 shares, the
second smallest this year. And
measure that against the daily
average so far this year at l.
$4,000 shares.
