Edith Lipp, 20, only member of | her household of six either dead or missing, told this graphic story: “We were out in the yard loading | goats in our truck when the water | hit us. We grabbed onto a clothes- line, all of us. One by one I saw them drop off. “Finally I couldn’'t hold on any longer. The water washed me down into a tree—I don't know how far. I was there for at least eight hours before they rescued me.” Mrs. Nell Lazure, telephone opera- tor, and Mrs. Dave Hinman, a neigh- bor, stayed at the telephone switch- board in Winnebago all through the | night, relaying messages to farmers in the country and aiding in getting | pleas for help to the outside world. Water Rises to Switchboard. “We had to quit when the water finally got as high as the switch- | | board,” Mrs. Lazure said. Red Cross workers were e\pected to be in the area today, setting up relief stations and taking precau- tions against any spread of disease. Local authorities and State officials | co-operated in the rescue work and search for missing persons. The area was flooded in 1920, but some observers said the present in- | undation was the worst in history. Animal Army Abandoned As Allies Flee Dunkerque By the Associated Press.

Roger got his ,22 rifle, whistled to Zip and they started out. In a few minutes they came back, marching the burglar before them. to do for D. C, least two lives.

Allied Powdermaking Plant In Tennessee Is Begun By the Associated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 5—Pre- liminary steps in construction of & huge powder-making plant financed by the British and French govern- ments were started today on a 5,000~ acre tract 10 miles north of Mem- phis, Authorized sources said the plant, consisting of about 100 buildings, would cost between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. Chairman E. W. Hale of the Shelby County commission de- clared the project, which is ex- pected to be completed by fall, would employ about 10,000 workers. Announcement of the project was made in Washington yesterday by the Anglo-French purchasing com- mission, which said it would be con- structed and operated for the newly formed Tennessee Powder Co. by the E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. Spokesmen declared the plant’s manufacturing process would call for the use of quantities of cot- ton and cotton linters as raw ma- terials. A party of engineers is scheduled to arrive here Friday to take charge of construction. Mr. Hale said he hoped that at the conclusion of the European war the factory could be converted into a manufacturing site for commercial products. for LATEST NEWS The Night Final Star, containing the latest news of the day during these dramatic times, is de- livered every evening throughout the city and suburbs between 6 P.M. and 7 P.M.
