Red Cross Seeks 10 Million From U S For Flood Relief
The American Red Cross, on Secretary Hoover's recommendation, urged Americans to donate at least 10 million dollars for Mississippi flood relief, raising the earlier 5 million goal.

Meanwhile floods swept across northeastern Louisiana as breaks in levees released vast water from the Mississippi, worsening conditions across Concordia Avoyelles Catahoula and Tensas parishes and challenging engineers.
