Mississippi Cuts Half-Mile Swath DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP)--Ris- ing Mississippi floodwa- ters carved a half-mile swath in Dubuque, stayed at a record crest in La Crosse, Wis., and aimed fury at Illinois today. La Crosse dug in for two more days of record flooding that prompted Governor War- ren P. Knowles to comment: "That's enough to make you ery. The 17.74o00t crest was 7.7) feet above flood stage and 2.4 feet higher than the record of 1952. Dubuque, a city of 57,000 at the Iowa-Illinois-Wisconsin-junc- tion, fought to stave off waters that were expected to crest at 2% feet Friday or Saturday. The water covered a seven- or eight-block area of factor' s, small businesses and some homes. It covered parking me- ters and forced residents to flee their homes by coat.

It also possibly could lead to a termination of the tremen- dous four-year expansion of the U.S. economy. The initial loss, of course, would be to the steel industry itself as plants slut down. Workers would not draw pay cheques, and the companies would not make sales, except of what inventory they would have or for future delivery. The impact on other indus- tries this year would come al- most as quickly.
