-and needs and facilities of distribution. .. The U. S. Public Health Service, the State Health Board, National Guard, U..S. Army Engineers, Red Cross and ‘WPA representatives were to meet this afternoon to dis_cuss the drinking water situation. For 24 hours water conveyances "of all types have been mobilized in the flood area. Evansville, the Red Cross reported, needed no more. The military forces today planned to reduce the area under martial Jaw and to tighten the guard against returning homeless. No ‘one will be allowed in the stricken area until sanitation engineers have made wrecked and deserted river towns safe against epidemic dis‘eases, they said. To this end, the State Health Board and the U. S. Public Health Service, using CCC and WPA workers and National Guardsmen, entered ccmmunities, where water had receded sufficiently with chemicals and tools. Rehabilitation was in the planning stage, with an Indiana Legislative survey committee, which yesterday flew over the river area, unofficially stating that the State could “only begin to finance it.”
Asks Federal Grants
Governor Townsend already had contacted Washington asking Federal grants for reconstruction of public buildings, at the very least. Governor Townsentt again held a cgay of conferences with persons in charge of all phases of disaster and prepared to give a personal message to the Legislature. Governor Townsend also ordered a survey of damage and said he would consider the findings before he made his emergency appropriation
address to the Legislature.
~The Legislature was to reconvenc today to consider a joint resolution for flood victims to extend by 30 days the grace period on payment of the gross income tax. Temporary Schools Opened
The State Public Instruction Department hastened to open temporary schools in the flood area concentration camps, and to see that children continued their studies. Teachers were mobilized for this work. * The military reported it had the movement of refugees and law and order under control, and prepared to reduce to 27 the number of counties under martial rule. Base field headquarters were established at French Lick. i Today military courts were to be set up in several communities. General headquarters here said that as cities were put in order, and emer‘gencies in them ceased to exist, government would be restored to civil authorities.
Aid Continues to Come
CCC and WPA officials sought authority from Washington to turn all resources over to the flood authority for sanitation. and rehabilitation work. Physicians in Indianapolis and other cities continued to volunteer tor flood duty and were set to work inoculating refugees in concentration camps against contagious diseases, principally typhoid fever, and ‘partial quarantine was established he camps to prevent the victims from circulating too freely. " Dr. Charles W. Myers, City Hos-
tate Deaths
ANDERSON—Mrs. Mary Fisher 81. Sur«wivors: Husband, John; son, Willard Sheets: brothers. George, Robert .nd John ewis
pital superintendent, who was one of the leaders in the medical operation, said that the flood aftermath was dangerous. “It is the next two weeks we have to fear,” he said.
Citizens Respond t§ Call
And while all governmental agencies worked overtime on flood duty, citizens all over the state emulated them. Church and fraternal organizations continued to gather food and clothing for refugees; to feed and care for those in concentration camps and to solicit for and donate morey to the Red Cross.
All disaster donation records were shattered in Indianapolis. as the total rose. Arthur V. Brown, Red Cross chairman, sent $125,000 to national heaquarters at Washington. Headquarters replied with this telegram: “Your wire announcing that contributions to the disaster relief fund have exceeded $150,000 is profoundly impressive to all at national heaaquarters. I am very proud of our Indianapolis and Indiana people. They have given America an outstanding example of generosity and prompt and efficient helpfulness to neighbors in dire need of assistance. Their important and extraordinary co-operation is appreciated inexpressibly at national headquarters.”
$800 Collected
The Mile-oi-Dimes on Washington St., just west of Meridian, had collected nearly $800 in silver this morning after two days’ operation. Mobilization of the National Guard was completed last night when the Ft. Wayne ana Gary divisions were called into service. The Ft. Wayne “troops, including 218 men and 12 officers, are in Indianapolis awaiting commands from the Adjutant General's office. Four hundred National Guardsmen, members of the 113th Engineers of Gary, Whiting and South Bend, came through Indianapolis last night en route to flood sectors. Part of the corps left at 4 o'clock this morning for Jeffersonville.
Reconstruction Work
Six National Guard engineering companies began reconstruction work ‘in the flood districts today. Two companies were at Evansville, one at Jeffersonville, two at. Tell City, and one at Lawrenceburg. The engineers were to build temporary bridges and general road repair. A medical engineering unit was to go from Indianapolis to French Lick, flood survey headquarters, this afternoon. : Warned of Oil te
Officials at Madison, New Albany and Jeffersonville this morning
were warned by Clem Smith, State |
Fire Marshal, to be on the lookout for an oil deposit floating down the Ohio River from Cincinnati. He said it constituted a grave fire hazard, and officials were asked to use motor. boats only when absolutely necessary until the oil has passed. It already has cleared Lawrenceburg.
Movie for Refugees
Hospitals reported conditions little changed from yesterday. They were prepared to receive any refugee pa-
tients sent to them. All patients at City Hospital were reported in “fair” condition. fey A few colds were reported at the Fair Grounds but no contagious diseases. A Red Cross health unit was functioning with three shifts of physicians, nurs€s’ and internes. Preparations were made to receive as many as 400 additional refugees. Not many were moved from the Fair Grounds to private homes today.
Health Is Guarded
All refugees were urged to have their physical condition checked and to take typhoid ‘inoculations. City health officials were watching carefully for signs of contagious disease, and were trying to cope with the problem of checking refugees who come in to the city by bus and private means of transportation. Sleeplessness and worry were causing refugees at the Fair Grounds discomfort, but on the whole. they were faring well, it was reported. William P. Cosgrove, chief examiner for the State Accounts Board, said today that it is probable many public records have been destroyed by the flood waters. The co-operation of pastors and church people with the American Red Cross in its efforts to aid flood sufferers was solicited today by the Rev. Edgar DeWitt Jones, Detroit, president of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, according to Dr. Ernest N. Evans, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Church Federation.
Legion Sends Aid
The American Legion has sent 15 motorboats and 24 outboard motors to Evansville to aid in flood rescue work. Twelve truck loads of food, bread, water and blankets were donated to other cities in the stricken area. The Red Cross today began to make plans for its rehabilitation program in the flood area. “The cleanup after the flood waters re-
cede will require the assistance of |
every social service worker available.” Charles W. Carr, relief director for Indiana, said. The Indiana Regulated Highway Carriers, Inc., has offered trucks and cars for the transportation of rescue supplies. Forest Service Also Helps Resources of the United States Forest Service also have been placed at the disposal of rescue workers, Supervisor Lyle F. Watts said. Twenty-five Indianapolis police officers left yesterday for duty in the stricken area. The Fire Department has sent one pumper and two stationary pumps to Madison on request of Mayor Marcus Sulzer. Meanwhile, a battalion of United States Army troops at Ft. Harrison were awaiting orders from Brig. Gen. William K. Naylor to move into the flood area. One battalion was dispatched to Louisville several days ago.
‘Rains No Danger, Belief
Waters of the Wabash and White Rivers are receding and rains forecast for central and southern Indiana will not increase the flood hazard, the United States Weather Bureau said today. J. H. Armington said the only rise

to assist Prosecutor James H. Meyer in ‘the trial of offenders. One man was reported to have defied officers
threatening them with a shotgun. Statistics, gathered by Mr. Jennings in his survey of flood losses, were reported to show 30,000 workers suffering a weekly wage loss of $550,000. With an estimated one-fifth of the. city under water, Mr. Jennings fixed the loss to 7500 homes at $1000
goods cost dwellers an additional $1,875,000 while industries suffered in buildings and equipment to the extent of $16,875,000, he said. He pointed out that the estimates did ‘not include government property and public utility damage. “We believe the fight. against the flood is over and we're preparing for rehabilitation,” Mr. Jennings said. “Our only problem,” he added, “is to guard against polluted water.” Downtown hotels and homes were rationed water when the hydrants
tion. : Health Conditions Good
Mr. Jennings said evacuation had been completed. He estimated that 1500 persons had been taken from Evansville to other cities with an estimate of 10,000 leaving the city either through their own volition or because of high waters. American Red Cross officials estimated that another 500 might be
evacuated before the crisis had passed. Dr. William de Kleine, National Red Cross medical director, termed the city health condition, “generally good.” ° ; He, with other doctors, pointed out that 40 scarlet fever cases could not be traceable: to the flood. Dr. de Kleine said ‘a typhoid epidemic would not appear pronounced for 10 days or two weeks.
