flood of 1937.

Night and day Indianapolis peo= ple are thronging into the headquarters to give money and offer their services—for anything they possibly can do. Contributions Increase Busy persons downtown today halted to add their coins to the Mile of ‘Dimes, sponsored by The Indianapolis Times for the Red Cross. An average of one person a minute has contributed since its start yesterday morning.

Sones

Refugees with clay-caked shoes eagerly add their dimes, as they pass by, so thankful to be safe, so desirous of helping others in distress. Street urchins, to whom a dime is a fortune, have been seen to place their silver on : sidewalk. Last

Pet Dogs, Catsand Rabbits Hang ~ To Floating Debris for Safety

(Continued from Page One)

board caught in driftwood that was clinging around some utility wires. As we cruised along we could hear the mad howls of other dogs caged in houses and left without food.

Mad Dogs Are Killed

We learned that during the last few days some 50 dogs driven mad by hunger and fear had been shot by police and soldiers. It is estimated that about nine-tenths of this city is covered with water, Plying our way -along, the first flood victims we met were Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Weidner. They opened the window of their apartment over their grocery at 1200 Walnut St. and calmly asked to be taken out. The Weidners said they had money to pay their way out of the

flooded area, but had been unable

to rent a boat. As the launch made its way down through the midst of houses, their tops were scarcely visible over the yellow, dirty water. Many houses have been washed away from their foundations and have been cauzht and held fast by utility wires. The first systematic effort since the flood reached its worst to remove all persons from their homes in the districs worst hit is under way. As the Post reached Front St. at the Ohio River's edge, Robert L. Wright, Salem, Ind.,, Rural Rehabilitation supervisor, in charge of the crew manning this and other boats, said many families living in the city’s oldest mansions were still in them. Refuses to Leave Home

White Gore, 68, living at 415 Front St. at first refused to listen to the boatmen’s pleas to evacuate his home. He informed Mr. Wright that soldiers and boatmen could not move him. He slammed the door of his sleeping porch and entered his upper room. He feared vandals more than he did water. Sometime later Police Chief John Hibstenberg, who lives next door, persuaded Mr. Gore to quit his home. Mr. Gore got into the boat with Mr. Wright and found shelter in the upper floor of an apartment adjoining the home of Police Chief. Wernest Burtt, George Dugan, Jack Bolton, John Fugit and Harry Pfeifer also got into the motor boat with Mr. Wright. As the men held the launch to keep it from becoming entangled in utility wires, they got an unexpected thrill, .A large river boat owned by the American Barge Co. had come out of Louisville and swung to the Jeffersonville side of the river. Suddenly a young man in a row boat

boat. It seemed that the row boat would not ride the rough water, but the boatman steered it in some manner down the fast moving stream and disappeared beyond the big bridge. “Until the arrival of Mr. Wright, the rescue work had been proceeding in a rather haphazard manner, outboard motor boats and a few launches operated by their owners or persons who rented them taking out families as best they could. One of the heroes of the early rescue work was William H. Underwood, 64, who for years was a tow boatman on the rivers between Pittsburgh and New Orleans. He is credited with having taken about 200 persons from their homes in a home-made 12-foot row boat. At times there were as many as seven persons in the small craft.

Braved Seven Floods

Mr. Underwood said he has weathered seven floods in the Jeffersonville district. He said that this

flood is by far the worst of them |

all. He pointed out that the water had reached points more than three miles further back from the river's edge than did the worst previous floods in 1884. : The boat we are in is one of two train loads which reached ‘here on the Big Four Railroad yesterday. They were sent here from Cleveland and are of a large type like those used on Lake Erie. Twenty - cars formed the train that brought the boats. Men in charge of them include Commander M, B. McCune, United States Coast Guard from Buffalo ang Lieut. Commander Frank J. McManan. “a As the launch made its way up Spring St. from Front" St., many persons looked out of windows in the second and third floors of office buildings. There were many men in the American Legion Hall. Fire hose from a stalled fire truck not far beneath the water in Spring St. floated to the top to block the path of our boat. A sign painted on the side of the building across the street stated “Noah’s Ark” sells everything from soup to nuts. The Lerose Theater was buried so deep in water that it was impossible to learn what was the show billed for that p ment even if it could have been open and providing entertainment as usual, Library Under Deep Water As our launch turned east on South Ave. from Spring St. we observed the postoffice and Carnegie Library in deep water.

DAYS UNENDING FOR WORKERS

Every Twenty-four Hours Seem Like Year to Directors of Flood Relief.

By TRISTRAM COFFIN It is 4 o'clock of the sixth morning—and it seems like six years. Maj. Harry Willett still is sitting at the same desk in the Adjutant General's office, and Sergt. Frank Morrow is sticking to his post in the small, dark State Police radio room.

Across the street from the State House, Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State Health Board secretary, is shipping vaccine and physicians to the flood area. The lights are burning at the WPA offices a half block north. The days have merged into each other and everyone's eyes have a dull, constant smarting and their fingers are stiff from writing orders and dialing the telephone.

Reports Shock Workers

Yet, each new report of desolation and despair coming to those who have been standing by their posts for at least 20 out of every 24 hours is a fresh shock.

At 4 a. m. Friday, the first morning, the flood was an unknown adventure. Today it is a ghastly reality as each new report brings a separate story of misfortune. At 4 o’clock the sixth morning there is a lull in the Adjutant General’'s office and Maj. Willett chats with the newspapermen with the same good humor as Friday morning. Out on the counter there isa huge pot of coffee. Coffee and talk are enemies of sleep, one of the greatest adversaries of those who must see that relief and rescue work goes on. The State Police radio room is a small pigeon-hole in the State House basement, crowded with radio equipment, maps and telephones. Sergt. Morrow is the link between the Adjutant Generals office and the State Police and National Guard short wave radio transmitters all up and down the raging river. Wash in Cold Water

In another two hours, those directing the flood relief from Indianapolis will take what they halfhumotously call their “showerbath.” They will wash their faces with cold water, rubbing the sleep out of their eyes, and gulp a cup of coffee. There is no criticism anywhere of the long hours because each man and woman knows that as long as

ving a car with New York licelws. plates, stopped, placed $10 in silver on the line, ong drove away. So happy are these people to cone tribute to the cause that they actually thank the Red Cross cashiers for taking their money, officials claim. “Never have all classes of people been so moved to give all they can possibly scrape together as in this disaster,” said Myron Green, roll call director. Children Help Too

Even children have given the pennies they were saving. One younge ster from Ketcham Kindergarten was appointed by his classmates to make little wooden boats. They christened it “The Flood Penny Boat.” They filled it with 258 pennies and a committee of five, a Greek, a Rumanian, an Italian, a Macedonian, and a native American boy proudly brought it to the Red Cross headquarters yesterday. A taxi driver counted out his pocketful of change, his day's wage, to a Red Cross volunteer worker last night. He said he would bring more tonight. “I have 24 new blankets. Where can I deliver them?” a Goodwill Industries representative asked Mrs. Kin Hubbard, who is presiding at the general information desk in headquarters. One of Many Inquiries

This is only one of the hundreds of inquiries concerning donations that are coming in constantly. All merchandise is being sent to 240 S. Terminal St. Louisville, from where it is beirg dispatched by the Red Cross to flood victims. Social functions that have been scheduled by local organizations are being canceled and the funds sent to the Red Cross. Men, young and old, besiege the workers to assign them to work in the relief zone. Trucks, cars and boats are being offered Soy. Women pume in asking to know Phase wing they can do. Office phones jangle constantly as calls pour in from all over the city with offers of Indianapolis homes for refugees. \ Open All Night Chamber of Commerce officials from towns all along the southern railroad routes between the stricken areas and Indianapolis, are calling to say that they are waiting to house and feed refugees, accord= ing to Mr. Green. Twelve-hour shifts of trained volunteer Red Cross workers are on duty at headquarters to take care of these offers Lights burned throughout the night while the Red Cross staff of bank-trained clerks listed donations, officials communicated with their workers in flood areas and organizers, sought to bring relief to the flood victims in every way that is humanly possible.

be two weeks—there will be time enough for sleep. Meanwhile, the telephone rings and a train must be rcuted or medical aid must be sent to a stricken community.

We try to get them off for treatment for shock and exposure, but we don't have much luck.” There are about 400 patients in the hospital here, and these will be . removed to Indianapolis or other northern cities as soon as they are

able to make the trip. This is .
