It discusses broader fuel and manpower issues, local decision making, and the role of city organization in curfew policy. It also covers Congressional push by Gwynne to tighten federal agency controls and critiques bureaucratic regulation.

Engineers Warn Residents. Cedar Rapids Flood Controls Tested
Cedar Rapids engineers urge residents not to meddle with flood defenses along the Cedar River. E H Grunewald and W J Hirzsiefen of the Rock Island army engineers toured the city after high water, noting sandbag misplacement near a drainage pipe worsened seepage and required extra bags. They praised city effort but warned against dumping ashes along levees as it hinders packing and increases erosion risk.
