Battle to Hold Flood Ravages to Minimum
A Teller corps of 180000 concentrated on two fronts to battle midwestern floods that have driven a million from homes. Gen Malin Craig mobilized three corps areas to evacuate up to half a million residents along a fifty mile Mississippi strip from Cairo to New Orleans. Army engineers with CCC workers and volunteers reinforced the billion dollar levee system to subdue rising waters and let residents stay home. Up the Ohio River, medical teams began mopping up as waters receded while guarding against epidemics and reno vating flooded dwellings. If barriers fail, authorities could move residents within a 100000 square mile area. Crest on the Mississippi not expected to reach Memphis for two weeks.
