New Crest Floods Yuba City Delaying Cleanup Efforts
Flood waters surged through a 600 foot levee gap at Gumtree, flooding Yuba City with three inch hourly rises and delaying recovery from the prior spill. Officials fear up to 100 potential victims as armed guards curb looting and residents return with passes to salvage belongings. The Army engineers warn the crest will reoverwhelm areas already damaged and undermine cleanup work.

Revision Seen Of GI Bill in Next Congress
Washington The House Veterans Committee warned that thousands of veterans who sold GI mortgaged homes still face liability if default occurs. Chairman Olin E Teague said about a fourth of 3 350 000 GI backed homes are no longer owned by veterans, who may still owe the government. The panel will push remedial GI home loan law changes next year along with other amendments including a new orphan scholarship program and hospital repairs. The committee weighs extending the GI home loan program beyond its July 25 1957 expiry.
