Shifting Floods Continue
To Sweep Iowa Localities,
With Spread Into Dixie Area
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The rampaging Cedar River In
southeast Iowa receded today, but
heavy spring rains in the south
pushed rivers over their banks in
that area for the second lime in
five weeks.
The Cedar, already responsible
for millions of dollars in damage
in Waterloo, crested more than
six feet over flood stage in Cedar
Rapids Friday and inched slowly
back toward normal.
Some 5,000 persons had evac
uated their homes in Cedar
Rapids, mostly as a precautionary
measure, but the levees and dikes
held and water reached only about
20 homes in lowland areas.
Officials said Ihe river should
drop during the day, but three
villages to the southeast are ex
pected to get some flooding as
the crest moves downstream.
They are Rochester, Cedar Bluffs,
and Cedar Valley.

those for education, higher edu

buildings. It has voted to increase
state employes' saiaries 10 per
cent, but there has been no floor

a little of it might be salvaged.

In the flood-weary South, hun
dreds of persons evacuated their
homes in southern Mississippi and
western Alabama as a deluge of
spring rain spread overflow water
into lowlands.
Most of the evacuees were
among those who were driven oul
by floods just five weeks ago
along the Leaf and Bouie rivers
in the Haltiesburg, Miss., area.
The Weather Bureau reported
as much as eight inches of
rain fell in some areas Friday.
Flooding and evacuations were
also reported along the Yazoo,
and Chickasawhay rivers. Most
nro expected to crest Sunday to
Monday..
' Lesser flooding was reported
along other rivers and creeks in
southern Mississippi.
Thunder Storms Lash Florida
The spring detugo caused flash
flooding in a number of western
Alabama communities. Some Tus
caloosa streets were under as
much as a foot of water, and
underpasses were flooded in
Birmingham. i
The turbulent vcnther pattern
spread thunderstorms over most
of Florida with rain, wet snow
and sleet northward to tho Ohio
Valley, lower Great Lakes, Penn

snow in a six-hour period during
the night.
To the west a number of high

Tax Reduction
Rules For Oregon
Returns Clarified '
Refunds or credit nf stnfn itnj
local taxes, which were claimed
as a deduction on prior year's
Federal income tax return, gen
erally constitute taxable income
and must be reported on Federal
income tax returns in the year re
ceived. A. G. Erickson, District Director
of tho Internal Revenue Service
for Ihe Stnlo of Oregon, issued
th.s reminder today for Oregon
taxpayers who have questioned the
treatment of Oregon refunds or
credits received during tho year
twio.
No B.rnfir
Ho noted, however, thai where
the taxpayer claimed tho standard
deduction in the prior year, he is
not considered lo have received a
Federal tax benefit from such
payment in the prior year and
need not report a subsequent re
fund or credit of state or local
taxes paid.
Taxpayers who have taxable rc
lumij or credits to report shouln
list them in Schedule 11 of Form
lino, "li. S. Individual Income Tax
Return." Forms IOWA and 1040W
cannot be used for this purpose.
Ru'a Appliti
Erickson pointed out that the
same rule generally applies in the
case of subsequent refunds or re
imbui somenls, by insurance or
otherwise, of oilier deductible
items such as medical expenses,
casualty losses, interest, and other
considerations.
Refunds or credits of Federal
taxes are not taxable income, and
need not be reported on the tax
return, but any interest received
on local, stnle, or Federal refunds
is taxable income.
Erickson said taxpayers who
have further questions about the
treatment of refunds or credits
may rail their nearest Internal
Revenue Service office.

amount of timber blown down
from storms of the past winter.
The timber fall was more than

stepped up in order to consume
the raw material in an orderly

peelable logs through the plywood
plant and others through the saw
mill. The plywood plant production
increase will be only to provide

terial. Wells expressed himself as be
ing optimistic with the market
trend. He said that, while some
plywood quotations are listed as
high as $72 for Winch AD sanded
