In Paris Flood Threat
By the Associated Pres,

PARIS, Jan. %. ~ Rising
waters of the Seine washed into
the crypt of Notre Dame Cathe-
dral today and precious art ex-
hibits in the historic Louvre mu-
scum were being hurried to
safety in upper floors as the
flooding river level continued to
mount.
Thousands of anxious Paris
ianS lined the banks of their be-
loved stream as the water swirled
dangerously near the top of re-
tanning stone parapets and of
f1cials gloomily predicted there
was worse to come.
The special food service of
the Public works Ministry
warned that the peak of the
flood would come Monday and
would be slightly above earlier
predictions. Heavy rain along
the upper river today caused
them to revise their estimate.
They now forecast crest of
around 24la feet--an extra four
inches. That would beat the
record of 1924.
Anxiety on Left Bank.
Although central Paris is not
yet too badly affected. there is
considerable anxiety among
those living in low-lying Left
Bank areas, which are actually
below river level. If the retain
ing walls should be preached.
In the big industrial suburbs
Of Vitry, Ivry, Gennevilliers
Asnieres and Boulogne-Billan
court, the situation is already
serious. Hundreds have had to
be removed from their homes
and number of factories, in
cluding part of the big national
lied Renault Motor Works, have
been forced to close.
The main danger to Paris now
seems to come from its tributary
the Marine, which is in equally
high flood.

Within an hour, most of the two

One hundred and fifty police

tants. They soon had to change
their cars for beats.
In central Paris, where the
quayS are under water, police
and firemen are patrolling day
and night along the parapets
At some points the water is so
high that 1t is possible to lean
over and dip ones hand in the
flood. which swirls past several
