MIDDLE WEST

On Six-State Area After Respite.

By UNITED PRESS The swirling, muddy waters of the Mississippi river and its tributaries coursed over almost 1,000,000 acres - of midwestern farmland today as light rain began falling again over the six-state, flood devastated area after a 48-hour respite. ; Red Cross disaster crews cared for families driven from their homes by the spring floods while thousands of volunteer workers joined soldiers and state guards in the frantic race tu strengthen and raise levels before the Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois rivers crest.

Red Cross workers from four Pa-|’ cific states were sent into Kansas|: to aid in caring for the hundreds of |

Dense clouds of black smoke rolled up from the blazing inferno of the old rolling mill building, 336 W. McCarty st, yesterday afternoon as firemen battled the two-alarm fire.

The Wabash and White rivers in Indiana were rising slowly as their tributaries continued to swell and ythe rainfall which resumed today was expected to send them roaring over their banks into nearby cities. Intermittent rains throughout the flood area were forecast by the U. 8. weather bureau at Chicago

and the possibility of the showersd

developing into heavy storms was foreseen. Wichita had more than 8 half-inch of rainfall in 24 hours and the forecast was for more rain. The weather bureau pointed out that because of ground saturation almost all of the precipitation would go into the rising streams and secsndary and tertiary crests, possibly ' pxceeding levels reached in the initial crest.

|PORCES, Bougainville, April 26.

—More than 6000 Japanese bodies lay in crumpled heaps after the battle around the tiny beachhead at Empress Augusta bay, the most savage pitched battle of the Solomons campaign, the army reported today. ‘Maj. Gen. Oscar W. Griswold, Elko, Nev. estimated that 8000 out of 12,000 to 15,000 Japanese troops in action were killed. For each American soldier killed, the Japanese lost 30, Gen. Griswold said. Six thousand bodies of the enemy were counted on the field, the general said. Only now, he explained,

Unit's First Defeat

Losing forces were the hardbitten soldiers of the Japanese proud imperial 6th army division— notorious for the rape of Nanking —never before defeated. The scattered remnants of the imperial army are now retiring in disorder along Bougainville’s back jungle trails, presumably hoping to gain rear bases before the defeat becomes a rout. The allied! commander said that although the Japanese have been crushed too decisively to attempt another full scale attack, there are about 20,000 of them still on the island.

of the council's activities, said the organization will seek adequate planning for public works “in order to avoid another WPA .after the war.” “There is $400,000,000 worth of public work needed in Indiana right now and the construction industry is one industry that will not be faced with reconversion when the war ends,” Mr. Pike said. “I hope there will never be another relief program, but, unless you are ready to meet the post-war situation when it comes, there'll surely be another that will make the WPA look like a stepchild.” Headquarters of the council will be at 801 Roosevelt building.

Indian Hero Seeks Solitude of Hills

BROKEN ARROW, Okla, April 26 (U. P.).—Broken Arrow’s 1200 residents, most of them Indians, today prepared to welcome their No. 1 warrior, Lt. Ernest Childers, winner of the congressional medal of honor, but all the 26-year-old hero wanted to do, he said, was an opportunity to walk across the Cherokee hills where I used to roam as a boy.” Childers, a member of the Creek and Cherokee nations, who has more enemy scalps to his credit than of his ancestors, arrived in Tulsa yesterday. He will be welcomed with a parade in his honor and a Chamber of Commerce dinner in the Methodist church, followed by a band concert this afternoon. School was dismissed and the town was prepared. for the greatest day in its history.
