Second flood crest expected on Susquehanna River
A second crest, two feet higher than the receded level, was forecast for the Susquehanna after a seven hour rain hail storm. The state emergency flood headquarters projected rises to 15.5 feet at Williamsport and 25 feet at Wilkes-Barre, with 30,000 refugees fearing homelessness as the river edges up downstream. The forecast cautioned the precipitation and melting snow could cause minor rises but no significant change.

President Roosevelt and Navy advisers in Congress agreed on a plan to reorganize the Navy Department. Proposals include creating a bureau of ships by merging the engineering and construction and repair bureaus and establishing a new under secretary of the Navy. The bill would assign duties to the assistant secretary and industrial shore as part of the changes. The chief of naval operations would keep essential functions while non military tasks shift to the new under secretary and assistant secretary.
