Nationalist dispatches admitted the'battle for Hainan had started, apparently with Communist fifth columns fighting the Nationalists.

In Vincennes, the Wabash River rose to 26.6 feet by 7 a. m. today, a 15-inch increase in the last 24 hours. The river's main crest was about halfway between Vincennes and Graysville levee, which broke yesterday and flooded 5500 acres, and Vincennes. ‘ The crest of between 27 and 28 feet was due to hit Vincennes early tomorrow.
