Heavy Flood
Breaks Dikes
OMAHA W The runaway Mis
souri threw a new flood scare Into
Omaha Friday nluht but appeared
under control again here Saturday.
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.

total six billions, and the Senate
hopes to slash it substantially. Sen
