May 23. (AP) A wall of flood water al most twenty miles wide tonight was beginning to reach the upper extremities of Grand Lake in its movements to the Gulf of Mexico. Grand Lake is situated at the mouth of the Atchafalaya river splitting Iberia parish and with but a narrow neck of land separat ing it from the Gulf of Mexico. Lake 200 Miles Long Behind it stretched a lake 200 miles long from-the south central parishes along the gulf to the up per tier along the Arkansas line. Its width varied from 15 to 50 miles as it poured funnel-like from the Tensas basin in northwestern Louisiana, where it covered an area two parishes wide, through crevasses along the Bayou Des Glaises, into the western Atcha falaya river basin, narrowing to a width of one parish. " The New Orleans weather bur eau estimated today that the flood surface along the line between Begg and Melville had attained a level of about 4 2 feet above mean gulf level and that the water was still rising although at a diminish ing rale. Flood waters are approximately 100 miles west of New Orleans on the w-est side of the Atchafalaya river and the Bayou Des Glaises breaks, through which they are rushing, are about 170 miles northwest of New Orleans and on the opposite side of the Mississippi river. Rescue Residents Immediately behind the advanc ing waters scores of residents of the lower Atchafalaya were being rescued by tiny boats which ploughed through the current to remove them from house tops to which they had fled. Scores of persons, unable to re main in their homes, were living on levees where they had found safety after the first onrush of the waters.

(AP) -The army airship, TC- 10-243 tore herself In two today and crashed to the ground, a mass of wreckage as she was attempt ing to take the air for a flight to her home hangar, Scott Field, at Belleville, I1L, after successful ly participating in last week's army maneuvers. -' . f No. one was injured, but little of the ship can be salvaged. Only the fact that she was filled with helium and could not -explode, saved her crew of seven men from death. ti The crash came as the ship was preparing to leare the hangar. She was moving away from the building itself across a long dock In front of the entrance. A cable, dragging, to the rear of the ship caught In a submerged trackway used in towing such craft in and' out, of the hangar and jerked the tall of the ship downwards and to the rear. Before the" ship's two powerful motors could be shut off, the fouled cable Jerked loose, tearing a- great section from the rear of the envelope and stripping off the rudders. ' The ship was about 50 feet in the air at the time, and crashed with sufficient force to break the gondola, but the .seven members 6 the crew were uninjured and managed to fight their way clear ot the clouds of silk which des cended upon them as the envelope deflated. The two motors and the. ship's iastrument3 were salvaged and its allk'ea bag . was being packed to night for shipment to Scott Celd where It may be possible to salt a 3 some of it.
