FHA approval when completed.
Final determination to erect the
building will hinge upon the abil
ity of the contractor to complete
it with funds available under the
FHA commitment.
Preliminary plans call for the
entire ground floor to be used for
commercial business establish
ments, with the seven floors above
for apartments.
These will consist 70 per cent
of efficiency no-bedroom units,
containing a kitchenette with elec
tric range and refrigerator.
Warm storage will be provided
in the basement for 75 automobiles
and additional storage space for
tenants.
The Northward Building Co.,
Inc., is being organized to own
and operate the new building. The
architect, Robert B. Price of Ta
j coma, Wash., assisted by Worthen
and Wing, consulting engineers, is
preparing final plans and specifi
i cations, w'hich will be released
; about Jan. 15.
The building will consist of a
1 steel frame, with insulated alu
minum panel curtain walls. While

ritorial housing purposes. Interior
trim will be of dry-wall construc
tion and floors will be aluminum
panels, overlaid by concrete slab
and asphalt tile.
Metal doors and thermopane
windows will eliminate all wood
construction, making it as fire

States Floods Cover
Large Areas
(By The Associated Press)
Flood dangers appeared mount
ing today in many midwest river
areas as more rain splashed over a
wide belt and threatened further
damage.
Weather bureau officials said no
b^eak appeared in the warm,
moist Gulf air which is causing
the steady rains or drizzle over
the lower Mississippi and Tennes
see valleys. They said there was a
possibility of heavier rains over
the flood areas during the day.
Forecasters said thunderstorms in
Arkansas were moving northward.
Meanwhile, more than 4,000
persons have fled their homes
from the surging rivers and
streams in Illinois, Indiana, Ken
tucky and Missouri. But hundreds
of others have refused to move to
higher ground.
The army, the Red Cross and
volunteers have joined in the res
cue operations and work to
strengthen weakened levees at
many points along the rain-swol
len rivers. The flood front covers
areas along the Ohio and Wabash
Rivers, the two biggest in the mid
west’s threatening streams, as
well as several smaller rivers.
The Ohio spilled into the main
street of Rosiclare, 111., yesterday
and some 60 families fled their
homes.
The sun rotates in the same di
rection as the earth.

as part of the crew in a test cruise
after refitting.
Word from the salvage vessels
said the divers found at least four
of the Truculent’s seven compart
ments flooded.
“It is possible,” a naval officer
said, “the last three compart
ments are unaffected. A diver is
making a fresh descent to exam
ine the deck and superstructure to
see whether or not the hatches are
open.”
This may be the biggest peace
time disaster to a British subma
rine since June, 139, when the
Thetis sank in Liverpool Bay with
a loss of 99 lives. The U. S. sub
marine Sualus, which sank off
New Hampshire in May, 1939, cost
26 lives.
