Alone some 200 m:les of its down stream reaches, however, the mud dy torrent smashed more levees, engulfed more farms and spread new destruction. This blggest-ln-hlstory flood for the Missouri Valley ran almost un controlled Into Northeastern Kan sas. It was driving families from their homes in growing numbers in Nebraska. Iowa. Missouri and Kan sas. Damage and flood lighting costs were mounting Into uncount ed millions. The new threat to Omaha devel oped suddenly Friday night when pressure from the raging river tide blew out a sewer une leauins the lowland Industrial area. It came after the Hood crest had passed through the narrow umana-iouu- cil Bluffs, la., channel. The m-eatest danger seemingly had passed when the river's 30.24- foot crest (11.24 leet aoove iiooa level) surged downstream. There was a wave of elation in the twin cities thnt this menace had failed to smash through the narrow chan nel levees. . But then the river's still - tre mendous" pressure burst through a 7-by-9-foot concrete sewer line four blocks behind the levee. Water ripped up street pavement for 120 feet. It spurted In geysers, and gushed through the streets across warehouses, railroad switch yards, lumber yards, and factories. The break was at 11th and Grace Streets. Bv mid-morning Saturday, the situation was described as "well in hand." The bulk of the backflow had been cut off at Its mouth In the river and pumps were lifting excess water back into the river. Timber Strike Deadline Near PORTLAND M Some 50.000 CIO woodworkers In five Western States will strike April 28 unless Uie Industry's 700 employers offer acceptable wage increases, a union official said Friday. A. F. Hartung, president of the Inter national Woodworkers of America, said that a recent strike vote, taken amoig the union s members in Oregon, Washington. Northern California, Idaho and Montana, showed 'hat 85 per cent favored Uie strike to back up wage demands, The Weyerhaeuser Timber Com pany already has readied an agreement with Uie union. The company agreed to Increase wages cents an hour ana provide other contract benefits. Other employer groups' are con tinuing negotiations. Telephone Sill No. 279 Link River Backs Up To Houses A giant volume of water, 6,140 second feet, was pouring out of Upper Klamath Lake and down through Link River today, accord ing to measurement at the Califor nia Oregon Power Company plant on the river, and the heavy flow was causing concern and some damage all along the line. Upper Klamath Lake was re ported within about a foot of its maximum storage capacity. But the Bureau of Reclamation ls to start priming its main canal Monday to take Irrigation water out of the lake at the headwaters :h " 3 of Link River, and that si relieve some of the pressure. SPREADING Water In Link River today was spreading onto the lower ground In back of the houses along Conger, and for several days there has been dike trouble along the edge of Lake Ewauna. The depredation of rats and of years has seriously weakened the dike holding the water back from low farming land located between the lake and VS. 97 and consider able work has had to be done to prevent a general break . and flood of that land. The land is owned by Howard Barnhisel an Larry Bhaw. Other dike trouble was xenorted at Sheepy Lake In the Lower. Klam ath area of Siskiyou County, where water yesterday spilled over the Bureau of Reclamation dike. High, water some time ago washed out a swinging bridge at Cooco's Keno bridge, and logs and oeoris piling up azainst uie nam there have slowed Uie flow of water on down the Klamath River, accounting for some of the high water troubles back this way.. DIVERSION - . The Bureau of Reclamation has had Lost . River water pouring through the J canal on down into Tule. Lake since early this month, and also ls still shunting Last River water through the diversion channel to empty into the Klamath River.

MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON W) President Truman's threat to crack tba knuckles of Congress with a chain of dally special sessions, if it balks at voting the money he thinks is needed for defense, drew defiant retorts Saturday from several leg islators. (. "He seems to have gone com pletely off his head," Sen. Taft of Ohio, a candidate for Republican presidential nomination, said in Springfield, Mass., when be learned of Truman's statement Friday in a speech dedicating a new Amvet national headquarters.. , "He is claiming power like Charles I of England," Taft told a Springfield rally. "The Presi dent seems to think be must get all the money he asks. Well, Con gress ... is the appropriating pow er and . . . always has been." . - "That's one he can't make stick," said Sen. Capehart R Ind.), expressing the- mood of many congressmen of both part ies who believe ' the 52 'i billion dollars Truman has asked for tha defense program and foreign, aid is too much. The House already has cut tha total six billions, and the Senate hopes to slash it substantially. Sen ate committee hearings on the ap propriation are to begin next week. Truman departed from his pre- pared text to charge that "dan- program, which he said were made for the sake of election year head line hunting, would risk the lives of American soldiers. . He said be would not stand for it. He said he would "call a- spe cial Tumip Day' session of Con gress- every day. up to New. Years, if necessary,' until restora Uon of whatever eventual eut la de cided upon. ine reference was to a surprise special session he called July 26, 1948, a date known in his home state of Missouri as "Turnip Day." jnany memoers oi uongre&f. re acted swiftly to his threat of spe cial sessions. They said it was "un necessary" and "an affront" to their patriotism. - . - "That,'s a new angle for a Pres ident lojtake," said Sen. Hoey D. NO, A member- of the Senate Appropriations Committee "Mv conception has been that under the Constitution the President recom mends and the Congress appropri ates." , . . Sen. Morse (R.-Ore.). who often sides with the White Bouse In par tisan fights, said "once- Congress appropriates What it deems to be necessary, it seems folly to try to keep them In session." . Vapor Trails Cause Alert WASHINGTON Wl Vapor trails in the sky sighted from the ground in Alaska set off a brief precau tionary air, alert throughout North America Friday. The U- S. Air Defense Command said it never determined whether planes actually were over Alaska The vapor trails disappeared and whatever caused them was not picked up on radar. High - flying craft usually leave such trails, Wliile word of the alert was be ing flashed across country from Air Defense headquarters at Colo rado springs, coio., three uniden tified aircraft were spotted at 18. 000 feet over New England. Fighter interceptors of the East ern Air Defense Command quickly took flight and found the planes were an Air Force transport and two commercial airliners that had not been properly reported through channels.
