President To Inspect Flood Areas
President Nixon will fly over the flood struck Mississippi River valley where about 10 000 people are homeless and damages exceed 200 million dollars. Ten deaths across five states have been reported as the crest nears historic levels with 42 16 feet at St Louis and a possible rise to 43 5 feet. Nixon declares Illinois major disaster and authorizes federal aid for housing unemployment loans debris removal and repairs while warnings of more rain threaten.
