Louisville, once gay derby town, now desolate, burled Its dead In trenches as the flood waters began to subside. The number of lives lout was a matter of conjecture. Mayor Neville Miller said there were 200 dead after tho city's health officer admitted the bodies of 130 victims had been recovered.

Tho 1300 residents of Tlptonvlllo disregarded a warning to flee as the Mississippi threatened to cut a channel across Snaky bend and Inundate the Tennessee City, not far from Cairo.

Safe so far from being engulfed, Cairo, bulwarked behind a 80-foot sea wall, expressed confidence It would win Its battle. "Just toll the World we're here and will be for a long, long time," Mayor August Bode declared. As the flood waters poured Into the vast 121,000,000 spillway Just below Cairo, engineers said they probably would reach the top of the basin tonight. Then they will await the crest of tho flood, with expectations It will hit Cairo about February 2, and Memphis four days later. Restoration Problems Problems of restoration replaced problems of life saving in Kvans- ville and other southern Indiana cities.

Water supplies were being rationed at Portsmouth and several other hard hit Ohio cities.

The Red Cross was giving relief in 179 counties in 11 states and was operating 198 concentration camps and 50 field hospitals.

The vanguard of 60,000 refugees poured Into Memphis while the evacuation of hundreds more continued.

Two national guard planes dropped messages over Arkansas' flood danger zone, warning low land- ers to evacuate.

BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor NEWARK, Jan. James H. Klmball, the weather man who picked the tlmo for Charles A.

Lindbergh's flight to Paris, questioned today the value of tho proposed "Lindbergh memorial flight" across the Atlantic next summer. It is inconceivable, he said in a sfteech, that oven 10 years afterward, any plane Will improve on Lindbergh's "perfect" flight In anything except time. Memorial The memorial was proposed by the International Aeronautical Federation, the time is sot for any timo after July 81, starting place Floyd Bennet Field, New York, destination Paris. Planes with crews of two or more must be used. "What useful purpose can be claimed for this flight?" Dr.

Kimball said to the Institute of nautical Sciences. Objections Stated "Before the 'start it has been stripped of the qualities that justify It being named a Lindbergh memorial race. It Is not to take off on May 20, the date of the first nonstop flight. It cannot be a solo crossing.

"Something that you may be sure will place both the starting committee and industry in very embarrassing position." The "something," Doctor Klmball said, would be putting blame for the failures on Instruments, weather forecasting, engine construction. Inequalities in equipment and personalities. Favors Trial Flights "We all believe," he said, "that the Atlantic will be flown as a matter of routine In the not-far-distant future, but most of us think the project will best bo advanced by trial flights, following the leofl of tho Pan-American in its trans-Pacific endeavor." Commander C. E. Bosendahl, U.

S. Navy's dirigible pilot, spoke of the "sublime indifference" of-the aviation world to performance of light- er-than-alr ships. These, he said, have carried nearly 300,000 passengers with a record of perfect passenger safety. They already fly the Atlantic, he on long trips their elapsed time, is faster than planes, even though speed is less. Pope Pius' Pain Eased by Drugs (Associated Press teased Wire) VATICAN Jan.
