Flood Fighters Bolster
LeVees Critical Areas

miles south of st. Louis, rising
water halted operations of the
Missouri Pacif1c's railroad ferry
between Missouri and Illinois
points.
The Weather Bureau in st,
Louis has predicted a 4 to 8
foot overflow into bottom lands
of both Illinois and Missouri in
the Cape Girardeau area.
The Missouri River above st.
Louis eaSed and is expected to
crest at 32.5 feet tomorrow at
st. Charles, Mo. That height
would put water near the ton
OF several reinforced levees pro-
tecting f1atlands, but observers
believe the levees will hold.
The Red Cross has estimated
that $1,000 persons have been
affected by floods this spring in
the Midwest. The situation has
eased in most areas except
along the Mississippi and Mis-
souri,. More than a million
acres of land were flooded and
property damage has run into
millions of dollars.
Floods in sections of New
England, New York, New jersey
and Pennsylvania caused evac-
uations Of scores of families.
But rivers and streams were
receding and no immediate Sc
rlouS overflowS were indicated.

By the Associated Pres,

Hundreds of volunteers man
ned weakened leveeS in the
most critical section of the
Midwest flood belt today,
hoping to hold back the muddy
waters Of the swollen MiSsis-
sippi and Missouri rivers.
They fought to prevent the
surging rivers from further
flooding fertile farm lands and
communities in Illinois and
Missouri.
! The flood fighters patched
the weakening earthen levees
with thousands of sandbags.
During the night floodlights
searched for signs of possible
break-throughs.
Patrols of men, some wearing
bright orange life jackets, car
ried aerial flares to fire if they
detected danger spots.
officials said the major
danger was that the tons of
river water would spill through
the dikes which seemingly ap-
pear solid but which may be
weakened inside by the seepage.
Rivers On Rampage for Week
The two big rivers have been
on a rampage for a week. The
chief danger spots were con-
fined to the lower reaches of
the Missouri River and to the
Mississippi about $50 miles to
the north and south of st.
Louis.
Farmers, townsmen, civil de-
fenSe workers and college stu
dents made up the hundreds of
volunteers working on the
levees. Some of the farmers
came from miles inland to Join
in the fight to help save the
homes and farms of residents
along the river.
Many worked on the seven
mile-long earthen levee pro-
tecting West Quincy, Mo-, and
$4,000 acres of farm land.
Others joined volunteers at
Gregory Landing, Mo.
More workers were called in
to strengthen a weakened levee
below Quincy. Ill. In nearby
Meyer, Ill, only a few of the
100 residents remained, staying
in a grain elevator, one of the
few buildings not flooded.
Levee Is Dynamited
Some Of the pressure on
leveeS south of Gregory Land
ing was relieved when a levee
was dynamited at the conflu-
ence of the Fox and Mississippi
Rivers. Volunteers used baled
hay, straw, sandbags and snow
fences to protect other levees at
Gregory Landing. A few of the
33 residents of the community
defiantly stayed behind and
were living in a grain ele-
vator, far above the murky
water.
About 80 families moved out
OF Canton, Mo-, a community
of some 2,400, but Mayor Earl
Zenge was optimistic the levee
would hold against the Mis-
Sissippi flood waters.
Railroad Ferry Halted
The Mississippi, swollen
further by the flooded Missouri,
caused some apprehension be-
