Frankenfield (right), Senior Meteorologist, U.S. Weath- er Burcau, Washington. Factors causing these floods, grouped in a ccrtain time order, he explains, might cause a record overflow. By COLEMAN B. JONES (Aseociated Pres: Science Editor) NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan, 3 The possibility of Mississippi floods even greater than the one which swept down the river this year was explained at meeting of the Ameri ological Society, the Am sociation of Geographers and the' American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science section on! geology and geography. | Dr. Hairy F. Frankenfield, nior meteorologist of the Unitel States Weather Bureau at Wash-| ingtom; asserted. however, that “the probability is extremely re- mote and the. possibility hardly less 0. “Yet,” he added, “granted a lit-| tle more favorable association anil| synchronization of the necessary causative factors, one can con- ceive of a future flood from Cairo| to the Passes with crests from; two to four feet higher than tho attained in 1927." Although the 1927 flood was the greatest in history, its crest reduced by levee crevasses to an extent ranging from le:s than a foot at Paducah, Ky, to eight or/ more feef at Natchez, Miss.
