No Ouachita Flood Seen For This Area
Studies indicate the Ouachita River will crest at 38 feet, two feet below flood stage. Engineer A W Newkirk says the river should recede slowly after several days unless rains resume, while officials warn of floods if spring rains persist. The Mississippi River level appears to be leveling off at Baton Rouge, near the highest for this season since 1926.

The unseasonal rise began Nov. 16 and has climbed about a foot daily, aided by shifting winds. Maj. Gen. William A. Carter warned Louisiana levee boards that conditions echo those of the 1927 flood.
