Floods End as Engineers Restore Kansas City Water Supply

A Disaster Corps group formed to clean flood damage and crews work around the clock. About 35,000 union workers available for cleanup. Bulldozers scraped silt in Topeka as flood waters remained near the main plant. Several towns tally damage and begin rehabilitation. Train service improved with two of six railroads operating from Kansas City. Army engineers report floodwaters moving east toward Missouri.
