(AP)—Streets of this capital city of 5700 inhabitants resembled dirty canals today as flood waters of the Missouri river surged slowly but steadily upward. The big muddy spilled onto about 100 blocks of Pierre and all of Fort Pierre, a town of about 700 persons across the river. Red Cross officials estimated about 1600 persons already were homeless. It was Pierre's worst flood in 71 years. A crest of 25 feet was expected some time today. The Missouri stood at 23.6 feet at nine o'clock. Water was four feet deep in downtown Fort Pierre. Kerosene lamps burned in the town last night, because sandbags around the power plant gave way and the generators were knocked out. Pierre officials sent out a call for more volunteers to help in sandbagging Pierre's municipal power plant. Crews labored throughout the night to protect it. Drinking water was another problem. Three of the four Pierre pumping stations already were out. City engineers said the fourth pump would have to be turned off if the 25-foot mark is reached by the flood water.

Red Cross officials estimated about 1600 persons already were homeless. It was Pierre's worst flood in 71 years. A crest of 25 feet was expected some time today. The Missouri stood at 23.6 feet at nine o'clock last night and the swirling water was climbing at a rate of .5 feet an hour. Flood stage here is 15 feet. Army engineers issued flood warnings for downstream cities along the rampaging stream. The crest was expected to hit Sioux City, Ia., Monday or Tuesday, and swirl into Omaha, Neb., April 17-18. Mayor Ralph Henderson of Sioux City proclaimed an emergency calling for evacuation of 200 homes, the stockyards and a packing plant on Friday. National guardment were mobilized for the emergency. The Weather Bureau at Omaha forecast a crest two feet above the 26.8-foot levees erected to protect that city and neighboring Council Bluffs, Ia. Water was up to three feet deep in the Pierre business section. Basement walls and foundations of two business places caved in. ARMY "DUCKS" and Coast Guard boats hauled stocks from flooded stores and evacuated residents of flood swept homes. A Coast Guard helicopter freed isolated ranchers. Mail delivery to Fort Pierre, three miles west of here across the river, also was water-borne. Those townspeople who hadn't fled to higher ground came in hip boots or rowboats to pick up their mail.

It was hoped that the reservoir supply of 1,300,000 gallons would hold until the flood subsides and pumps can start operating again. Equipment from the main fire station was moved a few blocks away to dry land. Grand Jury Indicts 26 for Marine Gambling LOS ANGELES UP—Twenty-six persons were indicted by a federal grand jury today on charges of possessing, transporting and operating slot machines on 12 fishing boats sailing off the Southern California coast. Assistant U.S. Attorney Vincent Erickson said the federal indictments were voted because the boats operated outside of state waters and in federal jurisdiction, which begins three miles offshore. Erickson said federal agents have estimated that the monthly take of each of the 27 slot machines on the boats was $500. He said 14 of the machines were owned by a syndicate known as Beach Amusement Co. Two partners of the company, Clyde Deninger, 50, Balboa, and Henry Frank Faust, 40, Santa Ana, were among those indicted on charges of violating the federal anti-slot machine law. Erickson said 10 of the boats operate out of the Balboa-Newport area and two out of San Diego. He named the boats as Seabiscuit, Sportsman, Lucky Strike, Gypay, Alalunga, Missawit, Skip-A-Lou, Music, Sport King, May B, Olde Ironsides and Millida.

MORE ABOUT Water Continued from Page 1) Glen McCloud Says Government is like any business—to be successful, basic honesty, truth and sincerity must be practiced by all who serve the people. Too often, we choose men to serve us in public office without giving careful consideration to our choice. Government, regardless of the level—though it be city, state or national, must be administered as faithfully as we would our own business, to be economical, efficient and to benefit the greatest number of people. Our country was founded on the ideal of a government for the people—and by the people. The patriots labored to found our nation, left solemn warning that honesty and integrity must be practiced if the nation were to survive. Too often, those in public office lose sight of the objectives and moral obligations required by the voters who placed them in office. If we are to remain a great nation we must return to principles of truth and honesty in government as well as everyday living. CANDIDATE FOR 75th ASSEMBLY DISTRICT (Fel. Adv.)

Federal Bureau Predicts Nation's Economy to Continue in High Gear WASHINGTON (UP)—The Bureau of Agricultural Economics said today the national economy is strong despite some recent weakening in prices. In a forecast of market prospects for farm products, the Bureau listed these factors as indicating the nation's economy will continue operating in high gear: 1. Industrial production is up from January and February levels. 2. Employment remains virtually unchanged. 3. Personal incomes continue near high levels of recent months. 4. The defense program is still expanding. "Available information for the first part of the quarter indicates," the bureau said, "that national security spending may be up approximately four billion dollars from the annual rate of 44 billion dollars in the fourth quarter (of 1951). "Evidently business investment also rose, according to surveys of plans for capital expansion, and indications are that new construction expenditures averaged around five per cent above the fourth quarter." The bureau said that apparently rising incomes are resulting in some increase in consumer buying. "With prospects for higher wage rates in the steel industry and some other major industries, consumer incomes are expected to continue to rise," the agency said. It added, however, that wage increases may not be as general this spring as last, because of slackness in some industries, particularly those producing non-durable goods. STELLS OF STALIN TALK—Sir Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan (above), India's ambassador to Moscow, said that he is convinced that now is the time for a meeting of the world's top people—presumably Stalin, Churchill, Truman and Nehru. The envoy's statement was considered significant because of his half-hour talk with Premier Stalin before leaving his diplomatic post to become India's vice-president.
