J The last dry spot in the famous Louisiana "sugar bowl"?an area approximately 160 miles North of New Orleans on the West bank of the Mississippi?was threatened with immediate Inundation today through a break In the levee ai McCrea, ten miles below Old River ion tho West banks of the Atcha j falaya. I Two thousand men, augmented i early today for an additional thousand saw their frantic work I go for naught when the pent up ; waters rushed through at 3:30 ithbi morning. Parts of five parlsh ee were in the new nath uf the riood. Information of the break reached flood relief director John ? M. Parker from the sheriff of [Point Coupee Parish, whose son 1 was at work qn the levee when the crevasse occurred. Secretary 'of Commerce Hoover was Immed iately Informed. Warned o( the danger, 1,600 , persons had been evacuated from the area anj a fleet of boats and many men recruited from refugee |Cainps concentrated on the sectiou during Lhe early hours. Plans were made toduy to dyna mite Hayous in the Bayou Chene country, approximately 100 miles West of N?w Orleans, where 160 persons were said to be marooned. Miss Rcsslna Piraro, In charge of water transportation for the Red Cross at New Iberia, said the per-i song marooned were In a precar ious position and that it had been reported that they had already been forced to their house tope. Access to the Inundated section which is on the Southern border of the vaa: lake which Is sweep ing gulfward from the North has b**en cut off by the heavy growth water hyacinth in the Uayous. Roads have been Inundated for some time. Miss Piraro said that only one; boat had beei able to make the journey to Rayou Chene ho far| and that the crcw reported when ? they returned to New Iberia yes-' terday afternoon that they had to] saw their way through. Unless more boats are able to get through at once, thoae who live along the Rayou will be In grave danger, she said. The water hyacinths have added' to thie troubled of those living along Rayou Teche and other | Rayous of the section. Huge mass ea of them, loosened by the un-! precedented flood waters, have floated down the Rayous and lodged against bridges and piers and have added greatly to the ' ?train of the high waters. In some cases they have forced closing of the bridges. The water hyacinths on the' Louisiana Rtyous from a problem-' during normal times. After thei hurrlorane last fall they were backed u~ In Rayou Teche to a depth of nine feet in some places and were so solid that men and horse* could cross them in some places. A parly of volunteers left New Iberia this morning with dyna mite to open the way into the I Chene country.
