Flood Crest Descends on Valley Cities
Danger Thought Past Pittsburgh Unless More Rains Fall
PITTSBURGH. April 27-tC.R)—
Tire crest of the worst April flood in 131 years swept past Pittsburgh tonight and down the Ohio valley upon the metropolitan district of Wheeling, with 200.000 inhabitants, awaiting a stage of 45 feet—9 feet above flood level.
As the murky, yellow waters from the swollen Allegheny and Monon-gahela poured their burdens into the Ohio, residents of low-lying sections breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the usual after-flood duties.
CREST RECEDES
Late today the stage at "The Point.” where the Allegheny and Monongahela Join to form the Ohio, had fallen to 33.6 from a crest of 35.1 feet—10 feet above flood stage —reached early today. A drop to 30 feet was expected by early tomorrow.
At least 800 were left homeless ln Sharpsburg, Etna and the “bottoms” district of McKees rocks, and hundreds of others were forced to move to upper floors. Tlie Jones & Laughlin and Spang Chalfant steel plants were closed down, throwing 8,000 employees out of work.
DANGER THOUGHT PAST
Unless more heavy rains strike the district, weather bureau officials believed there was little danger of another serious rise here. Heavy rains which started early Sunday and continued for 38 hours started the rivers on a rapid rise yesterday, bringing the Worst April flood since 1806 when Pittsburgh was a frontier settlement.
At least one death was recorded and hundreds of families were forced to move to upper floors of their homes in down-river towns.
The situation was not as serious as was first predicted, however. Earlier predictions of a crest of 48 feet—12 feet above flood stage— were denied by Capt. J. E. Ellis, lockmaster, who said the rise would stop at 45 feet late tonight. At 3 p. m.. the Ohio stood at 43.3 feel at Wheeling, and was rising four-tenths of a foot an hour compared to nine-tenths of a foot early today.
Studios Want Varsity Club Hit Numbers
Student Heads Decline Offers as Scouts Impressed by Show
Any move by studio scouts to purchase two of the varsity club's outstanding routine numbers and thus prevent, their appearance on the show of May 7 and 8 will be definitely quashed, student officials declared last night.
Following last night's rehearsal, scouts from one of Hollywood's leading film plant began dickering for thc purchase of exclusive rights to two of the routines, show-planners said. Attractive prices were offered. but at a late hour varsity clubbers still remained adamant in their refusal to sell.
‘NUMBERS STAY IN’
‘‘Those numbers arc definitely a part of the show and they will stay in.” Del Hessick. club secretary. blasted. “If the studio wants what we have after our final curtain May 8. then they are welcome to it, but as for the present, all numbers stay as they are.” Following a hurried discussion
Members of the Trojan Varsity club will meet this morning at 10 o'clock in the Student Union lounge, it was stated yesterday by Gil Kuhn, president. A discussion concerning the show will be held. Kuhn emphasized.
between representatives from the studio and the Varsity club, it was decided that after the show, the routine numbers that have already attracted so much attention would become the property of the studio and would be used in a forthcoming collegiate picture.
RESERVATIONS HEAVY Late last night it was revealed by the club's business staff that reservations for tickets were literally “pouring in” and that a packed house for both nights was anticipated. Tickets selling at 65 cents for the reserved seats and 40 cents for unreserved are now being sold by members of the club as well as in the cashier's office in the Student Union.

PERSONAL ANIMOSITY i

“Larkin says Warner Bros, pictures ‘smell'—which I admit they often do. But I don't like to read it in the Wampus.”
Warner testified that he has worked on the Wampus staff since his freshman year. Vilander claimed affiliation since the second semester of his freshman year. LARKIN UPHOLDS VILANDER
Asked a reason for his recommendation of Vilander, Larkin said he thought Everett to be “better qualified," maintaining also that he has done more work on thc Wampus than lias Warner.
