Disaster Area
WASHINGTON, ■(#>)—'The city
of Wrangell, Alaska, may be de
clared a disaster area as the re
sult of its recent million dollar
downtown fire, Delegate Bartlett
said Saturday.
Bartlett said the possibility of
federal assistance was discussed
at a meeting of various agency
representatives.
_ _
Fere iv. beward of the Housing
and Home ‘Finance Agency’s Bu
reau of Community‘Facilities and
special operations, said he would
make his recommendation on the
disaster designation as quickly as
he receives a report from an
agency representative now at
Wrangell.
The delegate also said the Re
construction Finance Corporation,
whose representatives also at
tended the conference, may act
independently of the President to
declare the city a disaster area.
He added:
“This would enable the agency
to make much more liberal recon
struction loans, with interest rates
dropping to three per cent and
with other conditions being corres
pondingly liberalized.”

Missouri River Floods
1,000 Miles Along Banks
OMAHA, Nebr., {IP) — Tons of
muddy water, like a slow moving
avalanche, rolled relentlessly at
flood levels and higher along
nearly 1,000 miles of the Missouri
Saturday.
The unprecedented flood crest,
which dealt a smashing blow to
the capital city of Pierre at mid
week, still was in South Dakota.
It was two days away from Sioux
City, la., its next major target,
and about five days away from
the Omaha-Council Bluffs, la.,
metropolitan area some 100 miles
below Sioux City.
But already hundreds were
homeless even in those down
stream areas. Thousands of acres
of rich farm land were awash.
Damage estimates ran into the
millions.
Army Engineers ordered a
mighty effort to add at least two
feet of added protection atop the
23 miles of levee protecting Coun
cil Bluffs. The levee height now
ranges from 29 to 31 feet.
LONG KLONDIKE TREK
LONG BEACH, Calif., {JP)—Ed
Markey, of Long Beach, ' came
home from Alaska recently to rest*
his feet.
• ; 4 *
Markey reports he trudged 607
miles on foot through the Klon
dike for a Los Angeles contractor.
His job was to test electrical
charges in the soil in preparation
for laying a pipeline.
Before Markey and his fellow
workers finished the autumn trek,
snow was on the ground and the
temperature was 15 degrees below
zero.
