"Yon should get some rest," was

Along The River
NEW ORLEANS. 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.

SAN ANTONIO. Texas, May 23.
(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.
