The iciest of the Mississippi passed Clinton. la., across the river from Fulton, at 20.9 feet yesterday and headed for Mustatihe and Davenport. In Clinton itself, the pressure ot the Mississippi's record crest- backed up sewers. Volunteers and nar ! tional giiardsmen sandbagged manholes trying to keep the water under control. Water covered the streets as far. as eifcht blocks from the river. The Missouri river, sweeping eastward across Missouri toward its junction with the Mississippi abovd St. Louis, also burst through dikes at seven points in the area of Washington. Mo. Army engineers declined to estimate (he exact number of acres flooded by the breakthrough, but they issued a new figure of more than 600,080 flooded acres in the Missouri’s headlong rush from liulo, Neb., southward. .

Says Hoosier GOP Full Os Confidence Cheer A$ Schricker Says He's Through Indianapolis, Ind., April 28— (UP>—Here i» a state where Republicans bubble with 1952 coafidence, and with good reason. They carried the suit for the last three Republican presidential candidates, licking FDR twice in the process. Both of Indiana’s United States senators are Republicans, The house score is 9 to 2 in favor of the GOP. v Further to sweeten Republican dreams is the fact that the 'best Democratic vote getter in the state says he Is through with politics--with public office, anyway. . Heis Gov. Henry F. Schricker, a Democrat who usually can persuade even some of Indiana's very Republican Republicans to vote for him. Schricker told the United Press today he would not be a candidate for the U.S. seriate this year. His opponent probably would be Sen. William Jenner (RindJ who is expected to obtain nomination to a second term Without much trouble. And Schricker said be would not offer himself as a favorite son presidential candidate, either, not even for the purpose of keeping the state’s delegates to the Democratic national oonventiem in a ••fa place untillhey could be moat advantageously utilized. Schricker is popular despite 20 years in executive and legislative office. But at M he says now he has had enough. With the governor out of their hair, Indiana Republicans await election day more confident than somewhat.' The \lndiana Republican organiza-' tion favors Sen. Robert A. Taft; There is sentiment in,the state for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Republican .delegates will be chosen by state convention July 3, four days before the Republican national convention. Eisenhower backers evidently intend to let the organisation pick the slate withoui much protest, but to attempt tQ-tureaway trim Taft a hatful or uiore of delesatea later by individual The comparative speeds oT-'The Taft and Eisenhower bandwagons in tbe fortnight before the Republican convention probably will have much to do with the success of tbe effort to split The delegation, f The sip\ departed from Indiana Democratic presidential L politics when neighboring Gov. A4>ai E. Stevenson of Illinois said he did not want the 1952 Democratic nomination. There is no enthusiasm for Other announced Democratic candidates here.
