PRICE FIVE CENTS Level Is One Foot Below Top of Wall As Waters Climb Army Engineers Reiterate Predictions That Levees Will Harness Torrents as They Pour Down Mississippi Valley This Week (By the Associated Press) Creeping yellow waters sloshed over the walls of Cairo, Ii.—prime danger spot in the 1,200-mile battle against the river—as the flood-girt city’s army of defenders, 4,500 strong, awaited “zero hour” Monday behind a barricade 18 inches thick. Lashed by wind and a swift current around the river’s bend, waves broke over the lower ramparts of the 60-foot concrete seawall and drummed ominously against the frail 3-foot supers structure crowning the main barrier, With the cresting Ohio at the all-time record height of 59.50 feet, six inches from the top of the concrete bulkhead, only a mud-boxed wall a foot and a half wide remained to stave off } the threatened deluge. Definite encouragement in Cairo’s grim battle against inun- dation came 'from the veteran government forecaster, W. E. Barron, who said the Ohio river would cease its threatening rise at60 to 601 feet. More complete information from upstream points caused the observer to revise his earlier prediction that the river’s ulti- mate peak might be as high as 61 feet. On the Ohio river above Cairo, which sits on a slender neck of land where the Ohio dumps its watery load into the Missis« sippi, Paducah, Ky., temporarily became a ghost town. Com- plete evacuation was ordered as a health measure. While Louisville, Cincinnati and other Ohio river towns, battered and bruised by their worst flood, cheerfully turned to rehabilitation efforts, man-made dikes on the long river front from 50 miles below Cairo to the Gulf held the flood waters of the Mississippi. Army engineers reiterated their predictions the levees would meet the test when the crest of the flood passes down the Mississippi late this week. | GMG ASKS LAW 10. |ssmarsscie Sense EUECT STRIKERS IN FLINT BODY PLANTS drifted back, cheered _| Michigan Judge to Pass on Pe- CALM OF CONGRES IMPERILLED BY ROW Nye-Wheeler Bloc Contends Amendment Intended to Block: Inquiries More Drastic Measure to Limit} washington, Feb. 1—(7)—A senate Blood Profits Will Be investigating committees to use relief Offered Soon workers threatened Monday to break ~ the comparative calm that marked the MTempers quickened for the debate pers ‘or Washington, Feb. 1—(#}—Genatet lon “the $000,000,000 rellef-deficiency Connally (Dem.-Texas) urged coM-|nin and its rider to block investigators gress Monday to “take the profits out /from calling upon the WPA for aid. of war” by enacting a Administration leaders doubted they of wartime taxation : control. priation to the ‘White House Monday. prepared geal adie) But they still hoped to get it there automatically war is|soon. i is Pienaar con- pee at om ands of oe cartel on a “ as it” up as ruary began, e aioe Pay a Tee Te house faced the first regular appro- priation bill of the session—the big supply measure for independent of- fices, GOP:to Attack ‘This probably will be passed by mid- ‘week to make a way for the adminis- tration measure to extend the recip- rocal tariff law for three years.
