to four feet over the ground level
- of the plant as they spread across
40 blocks of the unprotected city,
causing some waterfront indus
tries to close down. . . . ? .
Additional rain was forecast
for the ;Upper . Mississippi valley
V today but, the Stv Louis weather
bureau said the MississioDi was
receding slowly although its drop
was retarded by the runoff of
yesterday's downpours.
The river crept slowly toward
a crest of 41.9 inches here, sec
ond only to the all-time high of
42.4 In 1943.
And as it did, the water lapped
higher into this dikeless city of
21.500.
