but minimized the danger to office buildings.

From Three Sources

a Water squeezing the occupants of lis city out of their homes appears to be coming from three scurces. The main Ohio around which the town has developed, Pigeon Creek to the north and a back wash and oversflow from the sewers. It was estimated that water was flooding approximately 10 city blocks every 24 hours. The food supply remained adequate. Lights from the city’s power plant near the water's edge continued to burn. Arrangements had been made for securing power from the Dresser plant in Terre Haute in case the local plant is forced to shut down, Approximately 2000 persons are being given shelter and bedding by the Red Cross, which announced that a total of 5000 could be cared for. Downtown stores and office buildings are without heat, and there was some doubt as to whether the city water pumping station would continue in operation. Complete lack of water is not anticipated, however, as the community reservoir is located seven miles away. Dam Destroyed

Pressure on the “little Egypt” area of Illinois was reported to have lessened after a dam was destroyed on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River by Army engineers. Adjt. Gen. Elmer PF. Straub ordered 200 more troops sent to Evansville this morning. Some looting has been reported in isolated sections. City health officials expected. to receive 30,000 cubic centimeters of typhoid vaccine from the State Health Board at Indianapolis. It was dispatched last night by train. New Albany was to receive from the same source 10,000 cubic centimeters of typhoid vaccine and 3000 cubic centimeters of smallpox vaccine sent last night by bus.

Agencies Give Relief

No one was allowed in the flood: zone without a military pass and these. were being given only to persons authorized to conduct relief or rescue work. In Evansville, a city of more than 100,000 persons, numerous agencies are engaged in the task of giving relief. All offers of help from city officials in other parts of the State

} are referred to Red Cross offices in

the Chamber of Commerce building. Floyd I. McMurray, state superintendent of public instruction, appealed to school officials to offer the use of busses for transportation of refugees supplies and asked teaehers to set up emergency recreation facilities.

REHABILITATION - MOVE LAUNCHED

Indiana Congress Members | Demand Grants for Flood Victims

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY 3 Times Staff Writer | WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—With all] Federal Governmental agencies | in the field with full powers and ample funds to do everything necessary to relieve the flood distress, Indiana members of Congress today launched a move for Federal aid for rehabilitation. Rep. Eugene B. Crowe of Bedford is secretary of the “flying squadron” flood relief committee of which Rep. Fred M. Vinson (D. Ky.) is chairman and Rep. John W. Boehne (D, Evansville) the Indiana member. In outlining his plan, Mr. Crowe

:* said that outright grants should be .» made to individuals to rehabilitate

their homes and furnishings wherever necessary. “When the water -subsides the WPA and CCC ‘should go right through the area cleaning up the debris as they did in Pittsburgh and New England last spring,” Mr. Crowe said. W Should Inciude All Property “This should include all property, that of the rich and- poor alike. Then the needy, who cannot replace their home and furnishings, should be given Federal aid. In my opinion this should take the form of outright grants, for if they are poor enough to need such help they should not be saddled with loans and

Senator Barkley explained that Kentucky Guardsmen were husy guarding the State Prison and asked if the Regular Army might not take over the flooded area. The general explained that a formal request must come from the Governor and orders for troops he issued by the President. ‘The General also said that regular troops were busy with relief and few would be available for patrol duty. However, the War Department announced . last night that the Louisville area would be taken ! over for patrol today. y

| Engineer’s Forecast

Maj. Gen. Edward M. Markham, Chief of Army Engineers, said that at Evansville the water is 50.8 feet and expected to reach 54 or 55 by Friday. Highest previous recording was 488 in 1884. Louisville is 78-1 feet and expect- | ed to reach 81 by Thursday, he reported. Previous high was 75 in 1384. Harry L. Hopkins, WPA - Ad: | ministrator, told the group that 40,2 | 000 WPA workers are on the job | and being augmented hourly, that | funds are sufficient, and all the! destitute will be cared for. When flythg is possible, planes | will scout the area for all the iso- | lated, he said. st Both he and Red Cross officials | emphasized the necessity of fighting danger of disease as the flood subsides. . The Coast Guard reported 298 boats and 1200 men in the flood area and Seven amphibian planes en route. These include one with a short wave radio transmission to be

town Pike, and in two places water is so deep. on this road that automobile traffic is threatened. Only two persons have been removed from Utica. Both were ill. They were taken to an emergency hospital in Charlestown. One of the many heroes of the flood disaster is Cecil Coliins, of Watson, a railroad section foreman. Using a railroad motor car, generally used for transporting section crews, he brought more than 800 flood victims from this region to points along the railroad, where they were put aboard north-bound refugee trains. Residents here were offered freight cars to take them to safety, but Grover C. Lewis, township trustee, declared they could take care of themselves, at least for the present, and it was evident his assertion was the sentiment of most of his fellow citizens. -

Mr. Lewis purchased the entire stock of two groceries and moved the provisions to a garage from where he is issuing rations to the families which have been forced from their homes. More than 10,000 refugees have been moved from Jeffersonville by the Baltimore & Ohio and the Big Four railroads, according to Curtis Higginbotham, B. & O. train master, but there still are many flood victims in both Jeffersonville and New Albany to be rescued, their houses now being surrounded by the ever-rising waters. A heated freight car on one train was filled with seriously ill persons,
