GLENDORA, Miss, January 23.— Flood waters of the Tallahatchie Val- ley in Mississippi today renewed their threats in Humphreys and Yazoo Coun- ties, while in Northern Loulsiana addi- tional rains were keeping principal rivers in flood stage. Levees_were holding in the Talla- hatchie River Valley of the Mississippi delta, but below, on the Yazoo, terrific strain_from high waters caused city officials of Belronii to send out an emergency call for the weakened dykes in | County. Humphreys Appeal for U. S. Help. These officials urged Representative W. M. Whittington of Mississippi to persuade United States Army Engineers at Washington to send 10,000 sandbags. | “Our funds are alréady éxhausted and we cannot buy them,” said the mes- sage. It has been raining overnight in the Tallahatchie Valley, but flood cxperts said the rains were insufficient for any grent effec Freezing weather is forecast for to- night and tomorrow with no more rain predicted until next week.
