April 12 a a m(Q)m r-3 (UP) The Sioux Citv area braced itself for a major disaster today as fomc of the wort mid- L3 western floods on record drove almost 11.000 persons from their homes in six states. The Missouri, Mississippi and Red rivers and their tributaries, swollen by the record snowfalls of the recent winter, sent floods turning across hundreds of thousands of acres in the Dakota Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska. BUT THE MOST immcdiata threat was to this city of 85,000 in A VJ rjT--'' f' v' 4 i V- A x'Vv? '7- i lJt' A A A-4 A Ai-AA 1 habitants and to South Sioux City, a town of 5.500 directly across the Missouri river. At South Sioux City, floodwa- ters inundated 500 homes and surged to the edge of the business district today, and 2.000 residents already were homeless. Officials said that when the record-shatter ing crest of 24.5 feet hits Monday, the entire town will be flooded.

Sioux City itself cave up tho fight to sandbag the dikes as useless and prepared for extensive flooding. By WENDELL MERICK ON THE WESTERN FRONT, April 13 (UP) Americans fighting in Korea paused this Sunday to kneel in prayer that soon there might he "peace upon the earth." On a gnarled hill in Korea, generalsand privates trudged up the slopes to an outdoor chapel for Easter services. Seven members of an American division's band played in subdued tones as the men gathered at sunrise. They braced themselves against their rifles as they read from hymn books passed out by the chaplain. sjc 5jc 3jC THE CHAPEL HAD been set up on the fringe of an ancient Korean cemetery.

At the peak ot the hill stood a chipped stone cross. The division chaplain had arranged a make-shift altar on a narrow shelf a hundred feet from the top of the hill. Flowers planted around a white cross on the ledge swayed in the gentle breeze that swept across the valley up onto the hill. AT 7 A.M. THE chaplain began the service.

"God have mercy upon all nations of the world," spoke Lt. Alex Boyer of Wilmington, Dela. "Rule the hearts of all those in authority that they may see and do Thy will. "Help them in the establishment of a righteous law so that there might be peace upon the earth." 3C 5C HIS VOICE CAPTURED the attention of his congregation, fighting men, crouched on the muddy ground. Then the men joined in singing Easter hymns, accompanied by the small band.

The chaplain's voice droned on. "Comfort them in their loneliness and grant the world such peace that all families might be united once again." THE MEN STIRRED slightly, kneeling uncomfortably in a half crouch. "And finally we remember our loved ones who have departed this life." And then they sang another hymn. And then they went back to war. DOWNSTREAM, THE river al ready had overrun wide areas of eastern Nebraska and western Iowa HE IS RISEN Winona UlcCarthy.
