10 Milion Bill For
Flood Housing
(Continued from Page One)
The Columbia cracked sagging
defenses on its Canadian head
waters near the half-flooded city
of Trail, in British Columbia. One
hundred summer homes were
washed away. Levee leakage into
the city continues.
U.S. Army Engineers said Col
umbia dikes were in critical con
dition at Richland, near the huge
Hanford Atomic Plant in Wash
ington. The energy works itself
was not in danger but the en
gineers said they were ready to
evacuate workers from their Rich
land homes if necessary.
In Portland, Mr. Truman signed
a $10,000,000 emergency housing
bill that had been rushed through
Congress. It will alleviate suf
fering caused by the Memorial
Day drowning of Vanport—most
disastrous single blow of the en
tire flood wave.
Meanwhile the toll for the two
nations mounted to 38 known
dead. Five new victims were added
yesterday. One was from Van
port, increasing to five the bodies
recovered from the smashed war
housing project.
Damage advanced upward thru
yet untold millions of dollars.
Only a few hours before Mr.
Truman arrived, another dike had
caved in just east of what was
Vanport. While he was here water
overran Portland’s $6,500,000 air
port, two swank country clubs,
two public golf courses, a lake
side resort, rich commercial gar
dens and homes where some 5,
000 persons lived.
