Creecks Near Flood Levels As San Antonio Sees Heavy Rain
San Antonio faced near flood levels as 2.5 inches of rain drenched the city. Autos were stranded and later freed by wreckers before waters rose, with lanterns lighting several West Woodlawn and Hildebrand blocks. Dam controls held back water to avert flooding, and a crest of 18 feet was measured at 10 Army with potential higher levels if rain persisted. Park crews worked to keep streets clear while officials warned parents to keep children away from creeks due to rattlesnake swarms. Five fathers died at Games Dam, raising local fatalities in the period referenced.

Deferment for Negro Is Limited
Ulysses James Andrews, 31, editor of the San Antonio Register, is inducted from draft deferment due to professional substitutions. A Washington decision kept his 1-A status, but local boards will end his deferment when a lower-rated or female editor is found.
