PIKDUAS NKOHAfl, Mrxliotf
Thls wan a town ol sorrow and
uncounted dead lasi nlvhl.
11)o urralest Hood In Hip history
of Iho Rio Grande rolled down on
Plrdras Nrifras and pant luit Irvrn
that curled n round II like a pro
tecting arm.
Thlrty-eluhl prrsoiia are known
dead. But lew believed last DlKht
these wero all the dend. Uncon
United esLliiialca ranged up to 600.
Last nn lit compflre tuckered on
the rough, mesqultr-covcrfd hilts
around what was a thriving larni
town o( 30,000 people across Iho
nio Oraiide from Eagle Paaa. Tex.
These were the Urea ot tile
homeless, people who dally trudge
back to their ruined houses In
search of the dead.
At least one half the halt farth
est Irom the river of I'lcdraa
Ncurns atlll Is Hooded. The down
town aectlun was In better shape.
It Is high, on the cdue ol iho Kio
Grande, and tha water has receded
from Its while brick, two-story
buildings with spires and shutters
of red and blue.
Car move through the paved
downtown atreela and merchants
sadly lake up the Job ol getting
back to ruined businesses.
Away Iront lira business tcctlon,
the pnvlns plays outund Die Mreeta
are loblollies or sticky mud down
w-hich no automobile can travel.
These art Hie sections where
adobe houses inched like toy mud
hula made by children.
Open ceAools- pock the town
Uko soroa. There la no pure water
In the town.
II. O. Walker, a U.S. Public
Health Service officer trout Eagle
Pass who has inspected Pledraa
Ncgraa, said, "Knnltary conditions
are horrible. The water system
was never adequate and now there
Is none at all."
At first Walker said, bodies were
pulled out of niesqulte bushes and
burled quickly.
"But listen." he anld, "there are
five or six kids In every Mexican
family. Those famlllca lake care
of their own. They find a drowned
kid and they bury him pronto."
''80 who knows how many are
dead. Prom what 1 hear, there mav
lie onywhere Irom 300 to 6O0. Uul
I don't know If that's right and
nobody will ever know, nut I'll bet
Ihnre arp a hell of a lot of bodies
uncounted."
Everybody had plenty of warn
ing thnt the flood was coming early
yesterday and nobody In Eagle
Pasa, a town of about 1,100. was
lost.
"Hut in Pledraa Negras," said
J. P.. Bnudifer of the U.S. Iininl
uraiion and Naturalization Service,
"nobody believed the warning.
They wouldn't gel out and those
adobe houses plain disintegrated."
Walker rubbed a palm over his
bald head.
"You see that levee over there
what la left of a levee? You see
how It ataru at the river and curls
around the town, kind of like an
arm? They built that levee after a
big flood In 1032 and they put their
faith In II.
"And It failed them."
